In this final episode of the year, Nicky unpacks the challenge so many high-performing business owners and leaders face – how the heck do we actually switch off for a holiday?

Whether you're gearing up for a well-earned break or finding yourself sprinting to the finish line, this episode is a must-listen before you hit "out of office." Nicky offers a real, no-fluff look at why true rest requires more than a few beach days or a change of scenery – it requires a conscious transition of energy.

You’ll learn:

• Why rest can feel so damn hard when you’re used to going full tilt
• How to avoid turning your holidays into “sick leave in disguise”
• The power of embracing boredom for deeper creativity and clarity
• A practical breakdown of the “Energy Edge” – a framework to shift gears intentionally
• The small, 1% shifts that help you reset without guilt or overwhelm

This episode isn’t just about the holidays. It’s about reclaiming your energy, setting boundaries that stick, and bringing more joy back into both business and life.

Because smart business growth starts with you – healthy, energised and in your zone.

This week Nicky's joined by one of Australia's leading LinkedIn strategists, Karen Tisdell, as they delve into a question every sales leader and business owner feels: can LinkedIn really be a sales engine, not just a networking afterthought?

Spoiler: yes. But only if you’re using it with strategy, not just scrolling.

In this value-packed episode, we unpack:

• Common mistakes salespeople make on LinkedIn
• What to write (and what not to) in your profile headline
• The three content buckets that actually move the sales needle
• How “bridging statements” and “collecting yeses” can shift a no to a yes
• Karen’s practical, repeatable process for turning cold connections into warm leads

If you want to use LinkedIn as more than a digital CV (and actually turn your activity into conversations that lead to clients) this one’s a must-listen.
