In this episode of the Business Owners Podcast, host Linda Reed-Enever dives into the invaluable lessons learned by Sharné, a growth mindset coach and motivational speaker. 

Sharné shares her remarkable journey from being a corporate lawyer and co-founding a nationally recognised legal firm to finding her true calling in helping business owners break free from subconscious blocks. Her insights offer profound takeaways for entrepreneurs seeking growth and alignment in their personal and professional lives.

Through her candid reflections, Sharné explains how understanding and working with the subconscious mind can transform not only businesses but also lives. From identifying personal limitations to unlocking potential, she emphasises the importance of introspection and a growth-oriented mindset in achieving lasting success.

We cover:

  • The Power of Alignment: Sharné shared how misalignment between her business vision and daily actions kept her stuck. 
  • Embracing Growth through Discomfort: By stepping back and allowing her team to face challenges independently, Sharné empowered them to grow while freeing herself to focus on strategic goals.
  • Avoiding the Trap of Playing Small: Early in her career, Sharné played small to avoid judgment, only to realise it deprived others of the value she could bring. 
  • Wisdom from Mentors: A standout lesson from her mentor emphasised talking less and observing more to understand people’s motivations, enabling more effective communication and connection.
  • Introspection Over External Blame: Sharné teaches her clients to stop attributing setbacks to external factors and instead identify internal beliefs that may be holding them back.
  • Breaking Subconscious Barriers: By recognising subconscious patterns, such as the need to “save others,” Sharné transformed her leadership style and business outcomes.

Sharné’s journey serves as an inspiring reminder that business success is deeply intertwined with personal growth. Her emphasis on working with, rather than against, the subconscious mind offers practical strategies for entrepreneurs to realign with their vision and achieve impactful results.
