small business podcast

What do excellence and leadership look like in a small business? You’re invited to join me, Melissa, as I sit down with friends and entrepreneurs to discuss the different facets of running a business.

I ask guests the questions you want to ask or don’t know to ask. The goal is to empower and encourage you to better serve your team and clients.

Guests include a diverse group of leaders from different industries and backgrounds. Each is at a different stage of leading themselves, clients, or teams. On occasion, I’ll go solo to explore business topics and celebrate excellence.

Join me on the Lead with Excellence podcast!

What listeners ARE SAYING

The podcast is wonderful! I wanted to cry happy tears the whole time. Hearing you and Dondrea talk about business is amazing. You are both so good at it and bring so much authenticity and integrity in practice and in discussion. Plus, I loved hearing your voice again.

I loved the piece where y’all mentioned how 1:1’s are a two-way street. I believe some employees don’t feel like they are allowed to share feedback with their boss.

Many good takeaways: Show them don’t tell them. Developing good taste takes time. Perfectionism is about doing your best and doing it well. Do a few things with utmost excellence. Show up from a place of truth. It has to be true, good, and beautiful!
