Clare Griffiths is an award-winning entrepreneurship educator and social entrepreneur whose passion is to enable women to reach their business goals. In June 2018, Clare launched The Thrive Effect, a social enterprise on a mission to give female founders and women in business the inspiration, knowledge and connections they need to build a business that lasts.

Clare joins me today where we discuss what it takes for women to Thrive in business including the latest research on the core barriers preventing female founders from starting and succeeding in their own businesses.

We also discuss the difficulties women leaving prestigious positions encounter when starting their own business which means embracing a whole host of new skills sets and mindsets from idea generation to implementation and learning to do it all initially without the support of a team.

\u201cListen to your gut, when something isn\u2019t right - be confident enough to change it. Pivot, change the focus and even the business model\u201c
