What does it mean to be a B Corp certified business? Why do today's leaders need to build the skills to become emotionally intelligent? How can life's darkest moments help to define a brighter future? Joining Second Mountain Comms' Ben Veal for episode five of the #GoodJourneysPod is Lyanna Tsakiris, CEO and co-founder of purpose-driven marketing agency, Station Rd, a Cardiff-based company that helps its clients drive business value and growth through impactful marketing.    Subscribe to our YouTube channel for exclusive video content: ⁠www.youtube.com/@secondmountaincomms As a Certified B Corporation, Station Rd’s aim is to create lasting positive impact - and Lyanna is a big advocate for using creativity and compassion to help organisations to navigate change. As well as being a guest lecturer at Cardiff University’s Business School, Lyanna also works as an emotional intelligence coach, helping business leaders with self-awareness, compassionate leadership, and prioritising personal growth.   As the latest special guest on Good Journeys with Second Mountain, the new podcast series that explores the lives of inspiring people and their inspired stories, Lyanna shares her personal story: the personal challenges that have defined and shaped her life and the journey to founding a business that looks to do things in a different, more positive way.  Lyanna also talks openly about one of society's last big taboos - suicide - as well as managing anxiety, the need for much more work/life balance within agency cultures, and why people aren't willing to settle for less in the workplace anymore.    The interview can be watched in full on Second Mountain Comms' YouTube channel - please do subscribe for future episodes - and listened to widely across all major podcasting platforms.
