Ep 023: Chasing Joy And Evolving In Your Career with Hermione Olivia

Say hello to Hermione Underwood on the show today. A founder, serial entrepreneur, recovering workaholic and newly appointed CEO of J.S.Vitamins in the UK and Europe. Starting off with LVMH in Australia, Hermione went on to start her own PR agency The H Collective. But that wasn’t enough. This experience and network enabled her to co-found jewellery brand, a leather goods brand and a wine brand in fairly quick succession. Now she heads up J.S.Vitamins over here with a clear sense of purpose: to make J.S.Health a household name in the UK and Europe, just as it is in Australia. One of the things I love about Hermione is that, despite her optimism, determination and candour, there are serious challenges that she’s had to work hard to overcome. Layers, that the deeper you go, the more you uncover. Like facing burnout, recovering from long Covid, creating boundaries with balance, and more recently, becoming a step-mum, getting pregnant and getting married. In this episode, we talk about trying to find the right balance between driving ambition and personal health, her role as CEO of J.S.Vitamins in the UK and how she’s going to overcome her next adventure - motherhood.   Here are the highlights: {1:44} Introduction - who she is, her story and how she got to where she is today {05:00} How she knew that she is on the right path  {10:15} Dealing with burnout and how she came out stronger {11:40} Definition of love  {13:30} How chasing joy changed her life {18:30} Tips for successfully navigating major life transitions {22:40} The importance of slowing down and creating healthy boundaries   {27:10} Key steps to motivate and inspire your team {29:15} What does heart centred mean to her  {31:39} Tips to anyone who is wanting to create change   Connect with Hermione and learn more about her work: https://www.instagram.com/hermioneolivia/ https://uk.jshealthvitamins.com/     Team Development and Team Wellbeing Newsletter – Consultancy: here    Get Kiki Kirby Coaching news and loving guidance straight to your inbox. – Coaching: here    Join The Happy Healthy Wellbeing Community: here   Register here Free Training  - Renergise you 28th December  https://www.kikikirbycoaching.co.uk/re-energise-you    The Heart-Centered Event - Empower you 7th January  https://heartcentredevents.my.canva.site/     Connect with Kiki:  https://www.instagram.com/kiki.kirby.coaching/ https://www.instagram.com/kikikirbyconsultancy/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kikikirbycoaching/ Email: [email protected]
