Stepping up as CEO of your small business: Chat with Scarlett V Clark

Fireside chat with Scarlett V Clark, CEO of <a href="http://smartgirltribe.com/">Smart Girl Tribe</a>: What it means to be a successful and authentic leader.

I am director of a change consultancy that specialises in operational transformation using intelligent, ethical, sustainable solutions. We bring clarity and confidence to change, offering tailored solutions to enable our customers to discover their operational health, develop future goals and deliver the change required. I am passionate about remoulding businesses for better futures – to me, this goes beyond improving mere profitability and instead involves looking for high quality, lasting solutions that look after people, the planet and the bottom line. I also believe that it matters what we deliver and how we get there. Responsibility is a key value for my own company and embedded into the work we do with clients: we focus on delivering sustainable transformation through responsible change. I have extensive experience of delivering digital and business transformation within corporate businesses and public/private partnerships.

&lt;p&gt;This developed into a passion for building a solution for both sides. &amp;nbsp;A truly supportive working environment where people can thrive outside a classic 9-5 office structure whist providing reliable, high calibre support to businesses and individuals looking to achieve more productivity and peace of mind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;SpareMyTime was born!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
