This Is Why Your Culture Is Broken and How NLP Fixes It with Rebecca Bonnington

Entrepreneur, author and NLP trainer Rebecca Bonnington joins Business Babble to spell out why most companies stall. It is not the economy, it is culture. She explains how NLP helps founders and leaders ask better questions, make faster decisions, build resilient teams and scale towards a valuable exit. We get into people first leadership, defining non-negotiables, turning chaos into systems, and why hundreds of small customer moments beat any so-called USP. There are spicy takes on education, resilience, parenting, and the future of innovation too.

We get into why he sold Edinburgh rentals and moved into Dundee student lets, the real pros and cons of commercial leases with national tenants, and how Scottish regulation, rent caps and Section 24 have reshaped the market. Guy talks candidly about failing fast, learning faster, and why due diligence beats auction “bargains”. You will hear practical tips for first-time landlords on choosing a strategy, financing without overreach, picking the right streets, and managing risk after Covid and rising rates. We also cover business mindset, networking, NLP, protecting your health, and knowing when to pivot or let go.
