Small Biz Matters – #168 Providing the small business community with educational content and advocacy since 2014
with Alexi Boyd, broadcaster, advocate and small business owner.
Date: 4 August 2020
Running a small business is never a solo road; your path is guided by key stakeholders and strategic partners who help you. They might be people who work within your business, key clients, suppliers or supportive advisors.
Fostering these relationships is very important to running and growing a successful small business. But equally important is recognising who is STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT to your business development. As yourself, what role can this partner play in building foundations, growth of even calling it quits? Are they strategic for growth or just supportive? Do you collaborate with, or are you guided by them?
So we’ve brought someone onto the show who’s hugely experienced and keen to share this knowledge with our listeners. Annie Gibbins, in the role of CEO of several large medical institutions, had led teams who couldn’t exist without the partnership and guidance of strategic partners. Constantly engaging with and recognising the value of your key stakeholders can make or break these businesses. She is also an inspirational and dynamic business leader who is all about THRIVING - in business and life and author of Becoming Annie - A biography of a curious woman.
