Be Better By Trying Something New

Be Better By Trying Something New

I have taken up the hobby of woodworking. It is a great way to turn off my head for awhile and focus on doing things with my hands. I have to be honest, I am not that good. My attention to details isn't too flash as I get sidetracked and want it to be done NOW!

But a few YouTube videos, some scrap pallet wood, a few basic tools and even the crappiest of woodworkers can make some thing useful. This is the Viking Chair I made (or Star Gazer or Celtic Chair or African Tribal Chair - it has many names) for up at the shed.

It is amazing how the lessons you learn in one area helps you be better in another. So much learning happens when you try not to force it. I have found when I am coaching some of my clients that lessons in patience, new skills and different approaches in my woodwork apply equally in coaching them or in what they are attempting.

It is not just overcoming fear of failure (although that it part of it). It is being willing to admit you don't know everything and trying a new path. It is about becoming Bigger, Bolder, Better.

Dear-Reader I highly recommend you try something new. The life lessons you learn will serve you well. At the very least, you may get a chair out of it!

I have had a couple of openings in my coaching programs. If I can help with something new, please get in touch.

Enjoy Your Success

Enjoy Your Success

 

In this fast moving world that we have, it seems like everyone's on the hustle. We're always busy trying to get more.

I know on my Get More Success podcast (and I'm hoping that you listen to it GetMoreSuccess.com) many of the people I speak to are always trying to get that next level of success and they forget that they've already achieved success.

There's something very important about living in the present and enjoying the day that you have. Now, that doesn't mean you spend all day lounging around doing nothing, or maybe it does on certain days. But at the very least it is important to acknowlede that you have achieved some level of success.

Some days it may be as simple as getting up! Other days it is kicking a serious goal. Whatever it is, it is important to enjoy the success that you have and enjoy the present moment.

Too often people are so busy striving that they forget what they've already achieved. It is sooooo important to acknowledge how amazing you are and some of the great things that you've done.

So Dear-Reader, go you good thing!!

Keep being amazing and enjoy your success!

Engage by Being Bolder

Engage by Being Bolder


Too often people play it safe and communicate using "corporate speak" or what others actually refer to as "bulls#!t bingo."

If this is you, STOP IT!

We have retreated to the safety of the comfort zone. Too many leaders forgot how to lead and are merely managing and in the process, losing great people.

It is time to get real. This include being respectful in your language, but let go of the flowery things you "should say" as say what you need to in your own language.

Be Bolder. Stand up for yourself and let go of the fear of saying the wrong thing. If you say the wrong thing, apologise and learn from it. People will understand.

Don't let the fear of saying the wrong thing stop you from saying anything.

So... now Dear-Reader ... what was that you were saying?

You're ON Before You're On

Never Forget - You're ON Before You're On



One of the key issues faced by management today is that of Engagement. In a workforce that is increasingly disengaged, it is a critical aspect of the work life that needs to be managed into the future.

Add to that the ever-present mobile phone and technology, and it becomes an issue for families and friendships as well. ,

The 75 second video above is an example of one organisation that is getting it horribly wrong before they even start. Click the image to watch.

Dear-Reader, what little things can you do to increase the engagement of the people around you?

If you need some help get in touch and ask about the Express Engagement Coaching Program.

Can You See Yourself There?

Can You See Yourself There?


Dylan Alcott mentioned in his Logie Award speech last night the importance of representation.
Whoopi Goldberg mention years ago how powerful it was seeing Nichelle Nichols play Uhura in the original Star Trek.
Ali Wong was insistant that all major characters in her film, Always Be My Maybe, be of Asian heritage so they could have a film about them too.

In the events industry, for many years, the stage has been dominated by white, older, men. As a white, older, man, there is part of me that is ok with that!! But knowing that older, white men represent a very small about of the global population (Acoodring to Wikipedia, 75% of the world population are in Asia and Africa and the population of India and China combined represent about 40% of the world population), maybe it is time for others?

In my business, I am often asked for "really good female MCs". In a business world that is increasingly multi-cultural, multi-abilitied and multi-experienced, I firmly believe that more representation is needed on stage. The people on the stage need to match the people in the audience - as well as having great content and great stage skills.

It is embarrasing the number of times global panels on women in the workplace are all male. We even had Tony Abbott as our own Minister for Women at one stage.

Are you ready to be part of that representation?

I am running my 8 week training course on How to Be an Amazing MC. If this is something you are interested in, check out all the detail on the website or give me a call and we can chat.  It is held online so geography is not an issue. So far people from Cairns, Phuket, Singapore, Brisbane and Sydney have been part of it.

If you are organising events, how can you make sure that your stage represents your audience?
If you are part of a committee, how can you ensure it represents the people it needs to?

Let me know if you need some ideas.


PS The latest edition of the Get More Success show is out.
This episode is 2 1/2 hours long! It is the RPPFM outside broadcast i did for the BITE Conference.
Later this week I will release the individual interviews (all 16 of them) so you can pick and choose.
Head to GetMoreSuccess.com to listen to them.
