Discover how to evolve from manager to leader, trust your team, and build a business that thrives without burning you out. Real insights on the podcast with Justine Parsons.

How to Know If You Are a Manager or Leader in Your Business? 🌴

🤔 When you finally take a break, are you frantically checking emails by the pool, putting out fires left, right and centre? Or are you genuinely switching off?

Looking for ways to get more client referrals and grow your business without spending on ads? It’s possible! In this episode, Sonaya Williams shares proven strategies to build predictable referrals without paid ads, using simple relationship-based systems that actually work.

It’s myth buster time!

“You need ads, funnels, and a big social media presence to scale your business. Referrals, on the other hand, are random. You can’t control them.”

At least, that’s the story. But what if I told you that’s simply not true?

Let’s bust that myth wide open with Sonaya Williams from The CEO Partner https://theceopartner.com. Sonaya is a systems-driven entrepreneur who built her agency powered by a smart strategy to get more client referrals without paid ads.

Meet Sonaya from The CEO Partner

Sonaya is the founder of a thriving consulting agency that helps service- based businesses streamline their operations and scale sustainably. Like me (If you’ve listened to my previous podcasts, you know this is totally my jam), Sonaya believes good systems are the backbone of any successful business.

They are about creating consistent, repeatable and streamlined experiences that guarantee a great outcome. You can find some of the previous podcasts about how to streamline business processes here https://sandrajulian.co/systems-and-processes/, and here,

Tania Niwa shows how to move between cultures without losing your identity. Through listening, storytelling, grounding, and authentic leadership, she bridges worlds while staying deeply connected to her Māori roots. This is her story. 💛

Moving between cultures can feel like dancing on a tightrope: sometimes fun and thrilling, sometimes straight out wobbly and unsettling. My new guest had to learn the importance of holding fast to your roots, even as you stretch into new spaces and come out standing tall at the other end. 🌀✨

📸 Meet Tania Niwa (https://tanianiwa.com/), an incredible Wāhine Māori photographer who built a thriving business in Australia. Then followed the quiet call of home all the way to Taranaki while living the reality of having a foot in each country.

Through her journey, Tania has learned how to move between cultures without losing her identity, and how to lead with authenticity no matter where she stands.
