Welcome everyone to this episode of the Conscious Culture podcast with Sarah Riegelhuth, CEO and founder of Grow My Team!
I’m very excited to have my first guest from Europe on the show today: Katrina Jones, a friend of mine through the League of Extraordinary Women, another one of my companies!
We’ve known each other since the League’s early days, and we were lucky enough to have Katrina actually launch the League in the UK. We might one day share this story on the League podcast, but for now let’s get into Katrina’s group of companies under the Kendall Bailey brand, and her journey to becoming a conscious team leader.
-
Katrina Jones is the founder and director of Kendall Bailey.
Since founding her first business over seven years ago, Katrina has gone on to build a million-pound group of Property Investment Companies in the UK. She now spends her time mentoring lifestyle entrepreneurs on creating their ideal businesses, giving them the time and financial freedom they desire through property investing.

“The hardest part of what I’ve done in the last decade is learning how to be a powerful leader.”

Remote work has long moved beyond simply being a trend or a lifestyle.
It’s a natural evolution in the way we work and collaborate and a complete and vital redesign with profound positive impact for businesses, teams and society as a whole.
With it comes a work culture revolution that requires putting culture, freedom, trust and conscious behaviour at the core of every business who wants to thrive.
I’m Sarah Riegelhuth, your host, and I’m a serial entrepreneur, investor and expert in growing happy, high-performing remote teams.
Since 2014 I’ve been running all of my businesses remotely and that has deeply changed who I am as a leader.
I’ve gone from micro-managing an unhappy team suffering high turnover and working long hours to moving to the US, traveling roughly six months of the year, loving the sh*t out of my team and being constantly amazed as to what we’re achieving!
Join me as we dive deep into conversations about remote work magic, conscious culture, and the future of work with some of the most inspiring founders and leaders in the remote work space.
Insights, tips, success and failure, innovation.. we share it all. Let’s dive in!
