So if you’re new here, you’re very, very welcome. I’m so pleased that you have joined in here today. So in this episode, I finally get to unveil all about 360 leaders club, I have been working tirelessly with my team to bring this to the world. And I don’t think I have ever been as excited for something in my entire life. Because it’s just so so exciting. Like every single woman leader who is career driven and is serious about being successful, and who does not want to miss out on life in the process, you need to come join us. So today I am going to be talking you through exactly what is 360 liters club and sharing all the unmissable benefits, I’m going to share exactly what it is, I’m going to share who it’s for, I’m going to share who it’s not for, I’m going to share what makes us different, or values, all the benefits, the results you can expect and how you can actually apply and join. So it’s going to be a juicy one. I am smiling from ear to ear as I do this. So let’s just jump into it. Now before we get into this episode, if you missed last week’s bonus episode on all behind the scenes on my rebrand, it explains why I rebranded the podcast, why I’m launching this membership, and all of that. So if you’re interested in learning the backstory to watch 360 ears, go back and listen to the bonus episode I released on the 22nd of September. But in the meantime, let’s just get into 360. Okay, so as you know, you know, the rebrand process was real, there was so much work involved in bringing this membership to the world you see. And we all see when business owners and entrepreneurs bring out new products or services, you see the end result but you do not see the blood sweat and tears and the research and the self doubt and the long hours and the missing out on family time to bring this to you. And that’s why I encourage you to go back and listen to next week last week. But all of that aside 360 is finally here. So what is it 360 leaders club is the ultimate high level membership for ambitious women in senior leadership who wants to have it all. So it’s time to remove the corporate mask and step into a safe, confidential space to learn brainstorm challenges, business challenges, and uplevel your leadership skills with like minded women from diverse industries, so you finally achieve 360 degree success. So it is a membership full of women from diverse industries who have different perspectives and dynamic learnings. Now, who is this actually for? So the membership criteria is on our website, we have a brand new dedicated website. So if you visit 360, leaders club.com You’ll be able to apply there and see the criteria. But at the moment, as I record this episode, the membership is for women who are director level minus one so one level below director and a corporation to executive level and female founders with a certain turnover. Again, if you visit 360 leaders club.com You’ll see all the eligibility criteria there. Okay. Industry is are completely diverse. So if I just back up a little bit, I’ve been testing out my process and my structure my calls and trying to understand what my clients need for the last six months. So you may have heard me talk about my met my masterminds, but what I was finding finding with the masterminds is first of all, masterminding is not a concept that most women in corporate actually know. It’s not a very common term. It’s very common in the entrepreneurial space. So I was finding that people weren’t really understanding what a mastermind was. And as I looked at what I was doing in my mastermind groups, I started to think well, how can I make this better? Because my clients always telling me I have really high standards, and I always want to bring the best service to anyone who invests to work with me. So So basically, the membership has been born from my research on from my coaching one to one on all of that over the last three years. So 360 is for you, if you are a driven action taking woman in senior leadership role or an entrepreneur. Now, if you want to shortcut to achieve more success bonds and true happiness, if you want to learn the skills and tools you’re missing to reach your potential and really unlock that belief within if you want a safe space to discuss business challenges to gain different perspectives from not only an executive coach like me, but also appears at your level in different organizations and industries. So you can really gain that 360 degree perspectives to help you to make better decisions. If you’re ready to really truly once and for all step in and step up, step into your superpowers, No more playing small. And if you’re ready to achieve your big goals, so that you can really accelerate your impact and your potential if you want to learn to how to inspire your team. And so they can reach their potential too. If you want to really rise higher and claim your seat at that leadership table. So that you truly become who you’re born to be. This is for you. Okay, now, this membership is not for you, if you are below a senior manager or Associate Director in a corporate or if you’ve run a small business, okay? Because the conversations and the way the memberships ship membership, excuse me, membership is set up is for primarily women in senior corporate leadership and also female founders. Okay. So it isn’t for you, if you are not ready to put in the work. And if you are not ready to commit to your own development, there is definitely no point in applying. Okay? If you have no problems with work life balance, and if you already have enough time, if you already have a strong support network of women like minded women, and you have access to top guest experts and coaches already, it’s definitely not for you. If you have a negative fixed mindset. And if you’re unwilling to implement what you learn, absolutely, it’s not for you, because you’ve got to come into this with an open mind, you’ve got to come in ready to learn and ready to grow. And you’ve got to be willing to take uncomfortable action. And that’s exactly what I will support you to do. And all of the wonderful coaches and trainers that are in the membership, if you only want change for you. And if you don’t want to support other people, this is not for you, if you don’t see the point in investing in yourself. And if you would rather continue the hard way trying to figure things out on your own, rather than discovering a shortcut. It’s definitely not for you. Okay. So with all that being said, that is what 360 years, I’ve explained to you who it’s for, I’ve explained to you who it’s not for. And now it’s on to what makes us different. So my whole thing, I always say so a lot sorry about that is success, balance and happiness as possible. And what makes us different is that our 360 degree approach ensures that we support women leaders like you to confidently excel in your role, while living a more balanced happy life, enabling you to reach your potential improve your performance, and really to drive more women into senior leadership leadership positions, we need more women in the business world who are bossing it because I really know in my I know in in all of who I am, that it’s our time to rise. The boys club has done the girls are here now, as cliche as it science. what so many of you don’t believe that yet. And that’s why we don’t see women sitting in that in those sea level positions. It’s starting to change. There are so many other change agents like me out there trying to do this. And it’s because it is time. Okay.

8:54

So now it’s onto our values. So again, this is all around like I suppose what makes us different as a company, okay, so our culture in my in our company is built on five core values that I really believe are key to success. One of our top values is work life balance, because we believe that you work to live not live to work. And it absolutely is possible to have it all with the right strategy, mindset, tools and support. So many women and I’ve talked about this, like millions of times already. We support everyone else. We support our teams. We support our family. We keep everyone alive around us. We give our heart and soul to our businesses and our careers. And as a result, oftentimes we neglect to enjoy the journey. We deprioritize meeting friends, we deprioritize our health. We forget what it’s like to have fun sometimes because we’re so busy. So that’s exactly why I started 360 was to teach you give you access to tools trainings and support and inspiration and community of women who are all going to be there to hold you accountable, to change what you need to change so that you truly have that work life balance. Another value of ours is diversity inclusion. Now, again, as corporate and cliche as it sounds like these are really values that are really, really true to me, it’s at the core of what we do. So when you work with me, like inclusion is a massive part of it. Because I’ve been there when I have invested in memberships and coaches, and I felt ignored or haven’t felt as supported as I would like, or I would feel like, you know, I was always the one that wasn’t getting pegged in school. For the sports team, I was left out of friends, holidays, all these things, I am known for being very, very inclusive, and it’s just a really, really important value of mine. And obviously, the whole diversity thing goes without saying, because I’m talking about women in leadership. The third value again, in our company is authenticity, integrity. So I really believe that by being real and honest, it encourages others to live authentically and unlock their potential because I have seen so many women, and I’ve been there myself in the past to put on a facade, you know, wearing a mask at work. And I can tell you with certainty, true success, and true freedom, and who you are, comes from being authentic comes from being integrity, and comes with just being yourself. So, so, so important. And something I will always encourage you to do in 360 liters club. Our fourth value then is professionalism and results. So as some of you may know, I have a science background, I studied science for seven years, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 20 years. So I really value structure, I really value processes, I value data. And I really value providing a world class service to ensure that you get the best results from your investment. So when you come in, you’ll see I have tons of frameworks, making things set up really easy for you, trying to make sure that I give you the support, you need to get the results you want, while being very professional, but also being very real, as well. And then finally, our last values are empathy and support. So again, as you know, my clients always telling me, and people tell me all the time, like I’m really direct, I sometimes like my mother would look at me and go, What did you say that far, and she might get upset. But I didn’t mean it that way. Like I’m very, very direct, right? But I’m also so empathetic, I have a big heart. And honestly, sometimes I put my client’s needs before my own, which I need to watch because I want you to feel seen and hurt. I want you to feel like you’re in this like big hug that you’re feeling supported, that you’ve got a place to go, when the shit hits the fan, a place to go where you can learn and uplevel so that you can become the best version of yourself, and really let go of all the shit that’s holding you back. So that you can step in and you can step up, you know, so there are values and that’s what makes us different. So now I’m going to go on to the benefits. So what are the benefits of the membership. So basically, in the membership, there are a couple of different options, okay, there’s a 12 month option, and there’s a six month option. So you can join for 12 months at a lower investment, versus a six months, you can also choose to upgrade, that’s our signature, our signature membership, okay, you can also choose to join the membership, and also upgrade to VIP one to one coaching. Alright, so all the details are on the website, you’ll be able to clearly see your options. And if you just go to 360 leaders club.com You will be able to see it all there. So when you join, everybody gets access to our 360 Success Path. Okay, so this is our core training program designed to give you exactly what you need to achieve success bonds and happiness fast. So in this program, it is a self paced learning library where it’s very, very short. So I’m all about keeping things actionable and simple where I can because I don’t want to overwhelm you with loads of fluff. Okay, so basically that will help you hit the ground running that’s a self paced training that’s there for you when you join. You also get access to powerful master classes from top guest experts. So this is so exciting because my clients say to me, they’re like Where would you get access to people like this? Or how are you? How are you finding these people? I have a big network Okay, I have access to the most fabulous people teach new topics that you will not get in your mind learning system or you will not get in your company Okay. Different ways of thinking fresh perspectives on the areas of leadership, strategic thinking, Team empowerment, executive presence, self leadership, mindset, mastery, productivity and so much more. You also get access to me and executive coaches Okay, so you’re gonna get monthly group coaching with To me, you’re going to have so much support, it’s not even going to be funny. And the best thing of all is, you’re not on your own, you got access to an amazing community of like minded women in senior leadership, all waiting to welcome you in and support you on your journey. And so much more, you’re going to get live monthly trainings, you get a private LinkedIn community I’ve created actually, if you’re multitasking, come back to me, because you’re going to die. If you’re a podcast fan, we have created a private members only podcast, so that if you can’t make it to some of our training sessions, you can listen on the goal. So that is access to like, there’s already gonna be episodes preloaded, when you join the membership, you’ll get access to that podcast too. And like I said, you have VIP one to one upgrades, you get preferential rates to in person events. And you basically are getting all the support you could ever need to get to where you want to be on. It’s just so so, so exciting. So don’t take my word for it, I want you to listen to what a couple of my clients said, Okay, so the kind of results that you can expect is, you can expect to feel a lot more confident in your role. You can expect to stop playing small in your career and think much bigger, you can expect to make decisions and solve problems way faster than you will. When you ruminate in your own head on your own. Or you try to talk to your family and they don’t really get it you will have a place to go to be able to bring your challenges, you will have time and space carved out for your development so that you can reflect on what’s not going so good and plan and set intentions for next month. And then have accountability and support there right beside you. Okay, I cannot even tell you guys like this is you need this. If you’re a driven ambitious woman in a leadership role, who is serious about, you know, accelerating your success without burning yourself out. I invite you to join because it’s just fantastic. So some of my my clients, I have a couple of testimonials I’m going to read out just so you can hear from them. I guess like I would be like I would don’t believe people sometimes I need to hear from other people’s words. So one of my clients Claire, who is an operations director, and an SLT member in a large pharmaceutical company has been part of the community for the first six months when I was doing the testing on us. And she said being a member of this community has made me feel like I am part of something special. I can’t underestimate what I gained from being part of the group. It came at such a good time. It’s given me additional tools to lead my team builds connections with other like minded women, and empowered me to think about my brand and my career objectives in a whole new way. I enjoyed celebrating achievements every week, which was something new to me. I look forward to the coaching calls and guest expert trainings each month, the quality was superb. Working with Lucy has allowed me to prioritize myself not just career wise, but my personal life too. It’s been phenomenal. I can’t recommend highly enough joining there. Thank you so much. You are an absolute pleasure. And another client of mine, Linda. Linda is a Senior Vice President of the UK and Ireland in an advertising and marketing company. And she says meeting Lucy and this wonderful group of strong female leaders has been invaluable. Being part of this community has given me the confidence needed to know I’m doing a good job, and the tools to ensure I continue to develop and learn as a leader. In addition, this has helped me work towards a healthy work life balance. Lucy is knowledgeable, experienced, passionate, caring, a good listener and fun.

I love when people say I’m foreign because I don’t think I’m foreign. But apparently I am. And I have gained tools to deal with impostor syndrome to handle work situations better, like difficult conversations with colleagues strategic thinking and boosting team morale. I feel more confident in my role and better equipped to handle situations, I have learned to remove personal emotions from work, resulting in better decision making less overthinking and stress. I have gained so much I decided to invest in myself again to renew my membership for the next six months. Thank you for all the support to date. And I’m looking forward to the next six months. Thank you, Linda so much. I love love, love, love supporting you. So there’s just a couple of ladies who are in my least here. So the way it works is when you join you will be pushed with a specially curated group of peers. Okay, so like I said, it’s women from director or associate director, Senior Manager. And so I have a couple of different groups and you will be put with the appropriate group so that you’re surrounded with women with similar responsibilities so that the conversations I suppose are relevant, and so that you have the support you need to uplevel in your career. Okay. So, now I’m on to Why join now? So why should you listen to me and why should you join 360 leaders club? I’ll tell you why. Because life is short. And if you feel like If you’re being called to do something like this, you need to just do it. Okay? Now I’m only going to be opening the doors, I think three times a year.

Now, I would say about 70% of my clients, their company, sorry, what my saying I’m aligned to 50% of my clients invest in themselves 50% At the moment ish, and how their companies pay. So on the website on 360 liters club.com, there’s actually a justification letter template that you can modify to send to your boss to ask for support investment. Now, you’d get to decide if you invest yourself, or you get to decide if you want to approach your boss. Sometimes my clients don’t want to ask their company, because they just want to do something for themselves. And then some of my clients would have invested in themselves first. And then for the renewal, because they had got such great results, they went back to their employer. So it’s totally up to you. But if you are going to your employer, like usually at the end of the year does training budget there to be used up that people have forgotten about and will end up being lost. So if it was me, I would start with trying to get the investment from your employer. And then if not, I would invest yourself. Now I will say the whole appeal process and all of that we will I can’t get into that because it’s just going to take too long. So you need to get access to your company, P card or American Express cards to be able to find it. And if not, you can find it yourself.
