115. Lessons in Leadership (When Running Your Own Company)

The After 30 Podcast

With us today is the founder of one of Australia’s most impressive brands, Sage x Clare. Phoebe Bell started the wildly successful bohemian homewares company 8 years ago and now, thanks to organic growth, following “a lot of intuition and gut instincts about where to go with the business”, and surrounding herself with the right people, Phoebe is leading a multimillion-dollar business with products in over 250 retailers around the world.

We get into Phoebe's journey with leadership, starting from the beginning as a founder-led business and not thinking about leadership too much in the first 5 years being "in the trenches" with the team, to seeing when a shift in leadership had to occur when things went wrong. Phoebe gets vulnerable and shares her missteps in leadership along the way, and how she's navigated keeping a team's morale up in the last 2 years amid the pandemic. Phoebe's approach is so calm, emotionally contained, and solutions focused that even listening to her approach will settle your nerves.

We hope you love it. We loved recording it.
