Dani is full of insights and very different from some of our previous guests. If you are interested in understanding what it takes to be an entrepreneur and still smile at the end of the day this is one episode you are not going to want to miss. She is an international PR veteran with over 20 years of experience in running campaigns and making brands shine.

Dani is an incredible entrepreneur, starting her own PR agency Dani Lombard Public Relations when she was just 28.  Since then, her company merged with a Melbourne agency, taking on the same name – Soda Communications.

Running her own agency, she has learned a lot about running a business and motivating teams.

 

What is Dani’s insight into what is leadership?

Good leaders care.
Leadership is hard to describe but you know when see it and you feel it when you are around a good leader.  Behaving and acting in way that inspires the people around you to be better. In addition it is some one who is good at creating a strong community.

You will want to listen to this episode to find out more about what Dani thinks about leadership.  Shares her personal stories about meeting Richard Branson. She shares her vulnerability in talking about managing people and the reality of how hard it actually is, and it is an ongoing challenge.

What it is like to be a woman in leadership and the trap of falling into feeling like you need to appear powerful adopting those masculine traits.

In this interview, she also talks about not taking yourself too seriously.
