Sharing her journey, we discuss how Julie has taken her experience of working in a large multi-national organisation to help build her own business Wyseminds which supports entrepreneurs on their journey to success. Packed full of helpful insights Julie also explains and why, for her, leadership is a recipe for failure and curiosity.   KEY TAKEAWAY \u201cThe biggest lesson of leadership I had was about trust and the space to let go. As a leader you have to ask yourself about blocks. It has to be about who am I as a leader, and have I got enough space between me and what I'm doing? That space is the biggest golden nugget that you'll have. And it gives room for everybody to be the best that they can be.\u201d    ABOUT JULIE Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, Julie was always going to cut her commercial teeth at an early age. After studying business and working in the United States, she put her knowledge to the test by joining the family company, Specsavers, and went on to work her way up through the ranks to country director, setting up and establishing the market leader in the Netherlands. After more than 20 years \u2013 and building on her extensive experience of industry and her wide-ranging expertise as a leader \u2013 Julie founded her own company, Wyseminds, to mentor fellow female entrepreneurs setting out on their own journey, helping them to find purpose and passion in whatever they do. Living and breathing the world of start-ups (and setting them on the road to success), Julie is also an author, public speaker, and podcaster.   CONNECT WITH JULIE: LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/julie-perkins-wm\/ LinkedIn (Wyseminds): https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/wyseminds\/ Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/julie_wyseminds  Website: www.wyseminds.com  Email: Julie@wyseminds.com   ABOUT THE HOST \u2013 MEL LOIZOU Mel is a Coach, Facilitator, Podcast Host & Mum.
