  • How To Have Difficult Conversations | Dawn Metcalfe  

    06/02/2019 Duração: 45min

    Have you ever lost someone or something you really cared about because of miscommunication? The truth is everyone loses when difficult conversations go wrong. And even if things are eventually resolved, we can’t erase the impact stress and conflict have on our bodies, or get back time that was wasted talking about things that didn’t matter. Dawn Metcalfe is an author, public speaker, Managing Director of  a Successful Training Organization, and the creator of Hard Talk. Dawn says that the reason so many people struggle with difficult conversations, is that they let the Homer Simpson in them come out. I bet you didn’t realise that we all have our own version of Homer Simpson hanging out inside out mind! Homer does what feels good in the moment. So if someone says something that makes us feel threatened (in any way), our gut instinct is to defend our position and in many cases go on the attack. Dawn says the person we should let control difficult conversations is Mr. Spock. The voice of reason that focuses

  • How To Teach The Art Of Thinking | Ron Malhotra

    04/02/2019 Duração: 46min

    How can we expect our children to succeed if we don’t teach them to use their minds? Having grown up in the knowledge economy many parents still believe that the key to success is knowledge. What they don’t understand is that information is no longer the problem. Knowledge is no longer the commodity. In this episode Ron Malhotra talks about the importance of teaching our children: How their mind works To manage their thoughts and ideas To apply discernment To understand the language of money and business To be 100% accountable for the things that happen to them The importance of respecting your body He explains why wealth and success have become dirty words and why that is a bad thing. He explains how he defines success and why he believes everyone should have purpose, strive to be the best version of themselves, and to use their potential to make a difference for others He attributes rising levels of anxiety and mental illness to the reality that as we grow older we anchor ourselves to negat

  • How To Start Over Even When It Scares You| Judi Fox

    01/02/2019 Duração: 48min

    A lot of people dream about starting over. Judi Fox did it. At the age of 38 she took everything that would fit in her car, her son, and 1 cheque, and started a new life. The transition included a remarkable 4 year hiatus from Social Media Content Posts. Remarkably she recorded a video blog with her young son, shooting video virtually every single day (those videos have never seen the light of day). Judi also threw herself into personal development, and in her words soaked up content and knowledge. To pay the bills she continued her work as an environmental engineer, first as a consultant and then spent 2 years as an employee. In January of 2018, Judi had reached the point of waiting for the weekend. She puts the blame on herself. She’d had a taste of being on her own, and with all her new found talent she just knew that she had to try something radically different.   So she quit her job and turned to the world of LinkedIn video to make her mark. Nine months later she had accumulated a remarkable 3+ mil

  • How To Fall In Love With Sales | Jules White

    23/01/2019 Duração: 46min

    Growing up we get used to people asking us what we plan on doing for the rest of our lives? We get this question from our parents, grandparents, older siblings, aunts and uncles, teachers, guidance counselors, casual friends of the family, and in my daughter’s case even the driving test inspector. Raise your hand if you said, when I grow up I want to be in sales! Chances are you didn’t raise your hand. That’s because to a lot of people the idea of a career in sales feels icky, yucky and generally unpleasant. Images of Homer Simpson greeting a door to door gun salesmen (or something similar) pop into our head. Truth is most sales people end up in sales by chance or because someone else sees something in them. That was the case for Jules White. Jules is the author of Live It, Love It Sell It and her mission is to help everyone fall in love with sales. It’s an important mission. The world is filled with entrepreneurs that have a great product or service who are terrified of sales. Most often these fears
