    It's the Olympic edition! And there's no denying we are demob happy this week - it's the last podcast before the summer break but that doesn't mean we don't have a truckload to talk about! This week we cover the Olympics obviously, but also terrible customer service (Sharon names and shames), hot weather, Ryan being, well, Ryan, the Co-op Bank (Ginette's not impressed), sales calls, coaching and clinics. Phew! And that's before we get to Top of Mind with the importance of taking a business break. See you in September! #TrainerTalk #FreelanceTrainer #TrainerTalkThePodcast #TheTrainersTrainingCompany #TheGetThatGang #SharonGaskin #GinetteTessier #TrainingBusiness #BusinessTrainer The post Podcast Ep116: 26 July 2021 appeared first on Get That Course Online!.

    Phew what a scorcher! And what a difference a week makes - football anyone?! As we ponder 'Freedom Day' (really?!) and double standards, we also take time to cover mishaps with Zoom meetings and whether you can or should keep non-business talk away from business-spaces. We also allow a cat (allegedly) into the Dog-walking Digest (don't worry, it won't be a habit). #TrainerTalk #FreelanceTrainer #TrainerTalkThePodcast #TheTrainersTrainingCompany #TheGetThatGang #SharonGaskin #GinetteTessier #TrainingBusiness #BusinessTrainer The post Podcast Ep115: 19 July 2021 appeared first on Get That Course Online!.

    It wasn't a great weekend sport-wise, which came at the end of a not-so-great week for Sharon - the house saga continues! Ginette was straightened out at the chiropractor and ran a short but sweet Business Clinic. In Top of Mind, we talk about Responding to Knockbacks, before recognising that Jem isn't quite so into football anymore and hearing the tale of Ziggy and the puddle!  #TrainerTalk #FreelanceTrainer #TrainerTalkThePodcast #TheTrainersTrainingCompany #TheGetThatGang #SharonGaskin #GinetteTessier #TrainingBusiness #BusinessTrainer The post Podcast Ep114: 12 July 2021 appeared first on Get That Course Online!.

So of course why wouldn't we discuss right angles, ballet certificates, orange coffee tables and what to do if you're ever in a hostage situation and you need to choose which fingers to keep ... It's really not as random as it sounds (OK, maybe that last one is), as we cover how to be ruthless when it comes to decluttering, how to do it so no-one else in the household notices (especially if they're a hoarder) and how to get rid of all the stuff that needs to go (you can't have a maybe pile either). It's a pity physical stuff doesn't have a delete button!

And as much fun as that was, we also found time to cover terrible radio stations, lost mojo, tech trouble, skip rummaging and limping into August. You'd be forgiven for thinking that was quite enough, but when we're on a roll ... So in addition you get wild horses, scary sheep, a fat old lady (subject to verification), revelations, a dog's breakfast, bright red faces and overestimation.

    Brand Building with Sammy Blindell: this week's episode is notable for being lucky, untouchable and sent to you with love and kisses. It's also our shortest for a long while, but don't let that make you think it isn't just as packed with useful stuff (and the usual less useful stuff ...). We're a bit discombobulated what with one thing and another, but luckily our guest shows up to talk us through her extraordinary story of how she became the Brand Builder, what 'one-drops' have got to do with anything and the law of brand attraction. It's a tale that takes in curiosity (or is that nosiness?), floating mansions, brandalism and ripples. And if you think that's eclectic, elsewhere we also cover fluffy bunnies, not feeling like tea and why it's important to let people know what you want them to do. Yep, all in an hour. You're welcome.

Ginette's feeling all-growed-up, smug about her spaces and happy Bournemouth Trainer Talk Local (virtual) went well, even if everyone did have to bring their own cake. In Top of Mind, we discuss how not all clients or suppliers are created equal and discuss what we can do about it. Unsurprisingly, part of the answer is to Trust the Process (she really should TM that ...). In other news, Jem's in danger of being stuck to the floor, Scamp's owner has got to 'that' age, we look forward to a new Leader in Bristol and discuss how giving learners choice will elevate your online course quality.

Ginette discusses first world problems while also losing her words and Sharon is getting a new-found loathing for dust. Our Top of Mind Topic is a reflection on what we've learnt during lockdown as the restrictions start to be eased (except in Hardcore Wales naturally). We talk about how people are amazing, resilient and surprised at what they now know they can do. In the Dog-walking Digest, Jem's doing her best to get run over, Sharon's doing her best to stay dry (and failing), Scamp's dragging his heels and Ginette's dreaming of salt and vinegar on chips.

When does work stop and home start - especially if we love what we do and we can choose what and when? Sharon also discovers that a year ago was too soon to move and Ginette's going to try not talking to anyone (on Zoom at least). We have an interesting diversion into journaling and also how to get back in the saddle after a prolonged break - particularly as things definitely seem to be moving again with clients.

In this feature-length episode we cover pre-show parties, spiritual resilience, a few little tears from Sharon and zesty action-takers (naturally). And while we spend a lot of time talking about the benefits of repeating a course we've taken (which Ginette would like to point out is also one of the benefits of online courses), we also find time to talk about woo-woo manifestation, not being green-fingered, Mumbles moaners and the one thing that holds us all back in business. Naturally we also cover the triumph that was the first ever virtual Trainer Talk Live, we look forward to more Trainer Talk Locals and another round of the Future-Fit Training Business programme in September.

    The Future of Training: this week we go a bit rogue as the conversation meanders all over the place until we arrive at Top of Mind, having already covered most of the other areas (but there's always more to say). Sharon's still in Hardcore Wales and Ginette wants a duvet day. We agree that time is going both quickly and slowly, that you're unlikely to use the word 'bubbly' to describe certain professions and that people will always find a way to do what they want. In Top of Mind (when we eventually get there) we look at how the enforced change in training delivery has helped some people decide they'd really rather not travel anymore thanks, but ultimately we have power over our business, so it's up to us to make it what we want. Later on, we find out that Sharon's got a hurty leg, Jem's plodding, Scamp's off his food (only temporarily, don't panic) and Ginette is trying to work out how to get 83 trainers to all do the same thing at once ... it's going to be fun carnage at Trainer Talk Live - the Virtual Edition!

In Top of Mind, Sharon and Ginette discuss how technology has been our saviour over the last few months and how no-one's really bad at tech - it's all relative! In other news, there's a woo-woo thought of the day, knickers on heads and (we didn't forget really), the new Trainer Talk Member Hub.

    Fear in Business: it's a Welsh-iversary! The equivalent time last year was the first recording in Welsh Wales - not a lot's changed really, has it?! This week we cover panic over Zoom outages, avoiding more faff and what happens when computer programs stop speaking to each other. Sharon does her best PacMan impression on her daily lives and Ginette discovers she actually quite likes structure really. In Top of Mind we discuss False Evidence Appearing Real, otherwise known as fear (the manufactured in our heads kind) and we ask the best question yet: what would and could we achieve if fear was not a factor? There's light relief in the form of Sharon's comedy dog-walking moments and Ginette still can't quite get her head around a particular cyclist's sense of entitlement. We also cover how the first ever virtual Trainer Talk Live might also be virtually sold out and how appearing on camera in your online course can be strategically wise.

Volleyball playing taxi-drivers and selfish cyclists aside, we have a much nicer time talking about realisations and revelations when limiting beliefs are challenged, whether one of our number is actually a giraffe, having Zoom-free days, decluttering and finding inspiration in our office space - as long as it's not too much faff of course! Sharon gets a lovely message to start her day, along with some more titillating ones (no, not like that saucy) and Ginette would really rather you stayed away from the beach right now if it's all the same to you.

We talk about how sometimes a rough and ready video is more 'real', what to do when you feel Zoomed out (and why that might be) and why it's perfectly possible to ignore yourself. Jem manages to interrupt us, which is the first for a while, and Scamp is developing some fussy (tr)eating habits. It's all about the virtual with our events and last but not least, we'd like you to get your learners to bring their own examples to your online course.

    Reboot: In an episode that sees more than its fair share of tech glitches (if you don't notice them it'll be a miracle), we cover exciting deliveries, faded ends, stray children and fancy pastries - and that's just Sharon's week. Ginette has a bit of a rant (well it has been a while) about a well-known supermarket, but that's probably due to a lack of egg protein. In Top of Mind, we discuss how 'safe-mode' has given us a reboot opportunity, noting of course how so many things seem to be better after a bit of a switch off and switch on again (sadly not Sharon's internet, but that's another story). The more important point is understanding that sometimes the only thing that stops us is what's between our ears ... In other news, Sharon survives almost getting trampled by wild horses only to be nearly trampled by elderly cyclists and Ginette tells us why it's important for titles in our online courses to be descriptive.

    Finding Positivity: this week we talk about how it's definitely possible to find positivity in the current situation and even though we might feel forced into it, sometimes it can yield some surprising and great results! In case you're worrying that we've gone more serious than normal, we counter this with ten minutes (not joking) about hair dye ... Sharon resorts to cleaning both the bathroom and her database, while Ginette claims (eventual) victory over the same database and uses the word 'discombobulating' in a proper sentence and everything. In the Dog-walking Digest we discuss the rise of vigilantism and Zuckerberg-knockers. Definitely back to normal there then. In events to look forward to, we're forgoing the usual 'hug-a-thon' by holding the first ever virtual Trainer Talk Live in June and last but not least we want you to have a responsive platform for your online courses.

    Publicity: this week is the week of interruptions it seems - and not just to our lockdown routines. We were interrupted in the pre-chat, interrupted in the main chat and then interrupted in the guest chat! Things definitely take a somewhat feline turn, although Sharon's been out and about with foxes and wild horses too. There's a rogue milkman on the loose, rude cyclists and joggers and the Queen is in the Top Five apparently (good job Your Majesty). Sharon tries to excuse why she's not yet learnt Spanish and Ginette tries to learn to say 'no' - or at least 'not yet'. We cover off the business side of things with a great guest spot from Carrie talking all things publicity - so if you've got an opinion, you've got a shot! It's all about collaborations too as we get ready to launch an exciting new programme and if we get some feedback, we'll know to talk about it.

    To charge or not to charge (that is the question): this week we celebrate milk, wine o'clock, amazing views and appreciative clapping. On the flip-side life is still weird, dog walks are getting stressful and we consider the downside to the flood of free information and over-night 'experts'. In copyright news, we're claiming 'Vexit' as the term for when this is all 'over' and we also talk about why money needs to keep circulating. Sharon's clothing is complimenting her and Ginette's most definitely not cheap. There are a ton of virtual Trainer Talk Locals to choose from (there are some hotspots in there) and lastly we'd like you to be upfront about what it takes to be successful with your online course.

    Feeling Good and Keeping Going: in a week that most of us will find stranger than normal, we discuss why Shirley from Facebook isn't the best source of information, the miracle of time-travel and wine o'clock (FYI Fridays at 5.30pm). We also talk about why Sharon's version of tea is really just glorified hot water and milk, why Ginette shouldn't be afraid and our special guest Jane Brook from House of Colour tells us about why our clothes do more than just protect our modesty. She also talks about having to bin Zayn from One Direction (literally) and why she's been playing grown up knock and run. In our serious bit (yes, there was one), we discuss the opportunities that the current situation presents to small business owners and the pleasant surprises that can happen when we have to look at alternatives. Last but not least, Jem digs her heels in, we tell you how you can be exotic with the Trainer Talk Locals and why good quality video is a must for online courses.

    Practical Positivity: as it turns out, we *can* record two podcasts in one week and still have plenty to say ... Sharon gets firm about conspiracy theories and personal responsibilities, while Ginette tries to explain why so many opinions get presented as facts. We discuss the importance of considering your own and others' mental health, which at the moment pretty much means staying off social media for all except essential activities! We also discuss looking for the silver lining - the opportunities that present themselves when things don't go according to plan. Sharon's been Welsh for a month (although it'll be longer by the time you see this), Scamp has an epic daydream (during the podcast) and Ginette wants us to bring in learner experiences and perspectives to online training. And given that we're recording this early, it might all be completely irrelevant by the time it comes to you listening!
