[S1 E4] Billie Major // How to overcome barriers in business

This week, Jay is joined by his mentor and close friend Billie Major, Corporate Vice President at Capgemini, where they discuss the topic of “How to overcome barriers in business”.  In this episode, Billie explains why it’s so important to look after the people in her team, the communities they serve and the environment. She also passionately believes that “anything that stops people developing their talent or prevents them from contributing in any way can be a barrier in business” today.  They also explore the topic of mental health and wellbeing in the workplace and Billie highlights the appreciation we must all pay to the fact that “people bring their whole selves to work” so it’s important for leaders to “really spend the time understanding their people”. Billie concludes with some inspirational advice for all young, aspiring entrepreneurs that it’s important to never give up and always show resilience in the face of adversity.  Please subscribe, share this podcast and leave a review on iTunes and every other podcast app.  www.ripen.tech
