In this episode, Jan Griffiths announces she is taking a well-deserved break to head back to her homeland, Wales. She reflects on this year, filled with unexpected achievements like becoming an author and launching AutoCulture 2.0. Amidst the highs of success, Jan opens up about the inevitable crash that followed, shedding light on the less glamorous side of achievement.

Despite the challenges, the overwhelming support for her book on social media and its rapid rise to the top of Amazon's charts in the leadership category left Jan grateful for the dialogue it sparked on culture change in the automotive industry.

With the audiobook and Kindle versions released and the paperback version still available, Jan eagerly invites feedback from listeners, encouraging them to engage in conversations with their teams about the book's insights. She shares her email, [email protected], welcoming thoughts and questions.

For now, Jan invites listeners to tune in to another podcast she co-hosts and produces, Auto Supply Chain Prophets, where recent guest Shiv Taylor, VP of Enterprise Technology at Volta Trucks, shares valuable insights on the company's revival after facing bankruptcy.

Themes discussed in this episode:

• The importance of taking breaks to recharge and reflect on both personal and professional aspects of life
• Embracing both the highs and lows of achievement
• Fostering dialogue and community engagement around topics like culture and leadership
• The value of learning from experiences, both positive and challenging, for personal and professional growth
