Penny felt an instant shift in frequency just doing an everyday thing - one she reckons you've felt too. She thinks if you know how to handle frequency shifts, it'll be a game changer for your job, your life and basically, how you relate and connect with others. In this episode of the Penny Drop, she gives you three things to start noticing. ---- Show notes: Hey, it's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).

Penny had a great idea for a podcast that was hijacked when she couldn't find the six she was looking for. I bet you wouldn't be able to, either. She realised that we're out of practice of manually tuning in, simply because we don't need to do it anymore. Penny reckons learning how to tune-in and adjust frequency is the most valuable communication technique you can re-learn. --- Show notes: Hey, it's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).

Penny caught herself doing something weird. Chances are you've done it too. What it reminded her is that most of the time, we're not in control of our communication - the herd is.

Finding it hard to find ideas, new angles, or great guests for your show, meeting or event? In this week's episode of The Penny Drop, Penny shares a metaphor that will get you thinking and get you drafting. She explains that having a good drafting system for your ideas isn't just something you do on 'podcasting days' it's something good hosts do all the time. It's a way of being. Our way to navigate life. --- Show notes: Hey, It's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).

Many people ask Penny how they can improve their skills as a podcast, radio, event (or even meeting) host, but often they want to start in the wrong place. Understandably, most of us tend to want to improve our scripting, or content, our tech or how we look and sound because we care about the end result. However, in this episode of The Penny Drop, Penny talks about the art of calibration and how getting this bit right early, affects everything else that follows. --- Show notes: Hey, It's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).

Penny's been reflecting on her experiences as a radio, podcast and event host and learning from other great hosts as she prepares for a season full of tips and techniques to help you become a better host.

It's really cold in Tassie right now and it's led Penny to get really carried away with her fire wood metaphors! She reckons she's seen something in her firewood that you may need to hear. She's wondering if you're accidentally selling bad wood. It'll make more sense if you listen - promise. ---  SHOW NOTES: Buy a ticket to Be a Better Guest: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/932050687697 Hey, It's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).

Penny thought of you this morning because her 'smart' watch sent her a message and she instantly wondered if you'd ever received one like it. For a lot of the people Penny works with they get messages like this loud and clear every day and it's pretty demoralising. So she just wanted to say hi and also remind you that she'll be back with a brand new season soon. --- Show notes: Hey, it's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).

Penny has a problem with the word authenticity because it seems no one knows what it means anymore... yet everyone is trying to be it. Hot tip: While you shouldn't have to try and be authentic, for anyone who's ever tried to open their mouths when the mic is turned on, remembering how to be yourself can be something we need to re-learn. This is certainly Penny's experience and in this episode of The Penny Drop, she talks about one of the most instructive conversations she had during her ten years as a radio presenter, the thing that helped, and three strategies that she's still trying to master to help be herself whenever the mic is on.  P.S.

It's not uncommon for people to tell Penny that their last media interview felt like an out-of-body experience; they can't remember what they said, what they were asked, or whether they did any good! This feeling is usually thanks to a particular brain mode that we engage during high-pressure situations. Penny's worked out how to disengage it, ensuring your next media, podcast or panel interview is a true in-of-body experience. In this week's episode of The Penny Drop, Penny runs you through three strategies to make sure you can create a real connection with the host, the audience, and your content.

The one thing that will make the most difference between a poor interview performance and a good one - is not skill, it's not knowledge - it's mindset.
