(English) In this message Ps Richard talks about how we can be an Influencer in these 5 points: (Acts 2:1 NLT) On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. (Acts 2:2-3 NLT) Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. (3) Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. (Acts 1:4-5 NLT) Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. (5) John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 1:8 NLT) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 1.You already are an influencer (whether you want to be or not!) 2.How will I influence my world? (Matthew 28:19 NLT) Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:4 NLT) And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. (Acts 2:5-6 NLT) At that time there were devout Jews from every nation living in Jerusalem. (6) When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers. (Acts 2:37 NIV) When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 3.Be Genuine in Your Faith 4.Pray and Ask the Holy Spirit to Help 5.Invite, invite, invite!

In today's episode I talk briefly about showing up as who you are. Be Genuine.

41- Be Genuine to Have Presence Links https://smallstepspod.com/?p=2665 https://www.amycuddy.com/ Summary Try to find ways so that your body matches the things that are coming out of your mouth. Make sure that you gain consistency with a relaxed, calm nature to feel good and so the people around you feel like you're authentic. Gave that presence with your body so that you can convince the audience you're genuine, and the biggest audience out there you're convincing is your own self Try deep breathing Use Powerful poses. Take up a significant amount of space. Don't slump in the corner in the room. Don't be stuck on your phone. Remind yourself throughout the day to have a good posture to keep your body language open. Give power poses a try. Every once in a while, when you're in a place by yourself, do a power pose. Be expansive. Stand out there like Wonder Woman, so you feel better about what you're doing. Don't doubt yourself; tear yourself apart or make yourself feel anxious by analyzing everything you do, everything you say, and how you said it. Keep positive about the things you're saying and the things you're doing. If you find that you're not saying them in the right way or doing them in the right way, you correct them immediately. This is not an all-or-nothing thing. Just try to keep your presence as much as you can. Remember to listen; hearing other people will help them hear you will make them feel empowered. And in fact shows your power because you're willing to listen, hear other people and respond to them in a way that makes sense to the conversation you're having. It is a sign that you are confident when you can listen to other people and respond to them where they're at. They will feel heard, and they will become a true ally of yours. Challenge Try the power pose. Wait till you're in a quiet place by yourself before you have a meeting with someone that's going to stress you out. Try doing some power poses to see if it makes you feel more empowered and capable of having this tough conversation. Then when you're in the meeting, try maintaining the power pose by taking up more space, having your arms out wider, and generally having more eye contact and more interaction with the person and see how you feel afterward.

Welcome to the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast, episode 17,  'Be Genuine & Bring Your "A" Game' with Michele Siekerka.Michele Siekerka is the President and CEO of the New Jersey Business & Industry Association.  I have had the honor of working with and for Michele, and now serve as a consultant and lead for the NJBIA's Not-for-Profit Council. The NJBIA is the largest employer association in the U.S. and represents over 1 million employees.  Members range from entrepreneurs,  Main Street businesses, to organizations with over 2,000 employees. Over the last 110 years, the organization has always been about providing support to businesses across all 21 counties in NJ.  At the heart of the organization is the amazing advocacy arm. Organizations of all sizes have the opportunity to tap in and share their voice.  Members receive a multitude of cost saving benefits that include health benefit options for any size business, 401k plans, virtual HR support, short-term disability insurance, office supplies, UPS savings, and more. Michele shares information about three distinct councils that provide ongoing connection for members: Women Business Leaders, Not-for-Profit, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. These councils meet monthly  via a virtual platform for now.  The NJBIA prides itself on being able to bring leaders  to the table from across the state. They  share their expertise, business challenges, and help to together build upon ideas and solutions.Michele was asked the question of why should small to mid-size businesses consider adding the NJBIA as a line item in their budget during this difficult time? There were many reasons, but the simple answer, "you can't go it alone." One of Michele's proudest moments during the height of the pandemic was when the NJBIA gave a voice to some businesses that were left out of some of the guidelines that were shared from the state level.  Hear the incredible advocacy efforts that Michele and the advocacy team put together for this distinctive group. Some wonderful advice that Michele shares, "be genuine and always, always, always bring your A game." She also shares the importance of exuding from your heart why something is so important to you, as it becomes infectious as well as contagious. There is a great story in here about being nice. Listen in!Here is something that many leaders can adopt that Michele shares which is "empower everyone to be a decision maker from their chair in the organization". Think about the meaning of that and how you can truly get the best out of your employees when they feel like you are standing with and behind them. In regards to work/life balance, Michele feels that there is no specific magic bullet of how to make it happen. It truly is a commitment that only we can make to ourselves. Take a listen to Michele's answer to the question, if I knew then what I know now?There are a lot of nuggets shared after this question was answered. You don't want to miss the ending. Next week join us for the Inspire Series! Two episodes launch in one week. On Monday, April 19, Scott Chesney is my guest. Scott is a the 'Commander in Change' and serves as a Life Coach and speaker. Then, on Wednesday, April 21, Scott is my guest co-host and together we interview, Michael Reuter. Michael formerly served as the Director of the Gerald P. Buccino '63 Center for Leadership Development  for Seton Hall University, and is a Leadership Coach and mentor. Please also view this episode on the Today is the Day Changemakers YouTube Channel.Have a fabulous week! 

“I'm still a work in progress,” says Kayleb Bowes, Vice President of Sales at Nationwide Laboratory Services. Throughout his career, Kayleb has been committed to learning and growing. And for him, that all comes down to knowing his why.  As a medical sales rep and leader, Kayleb can find part of his why in his company's mission -- Nationwide is helping doctors diagnose patients and save lives every day. But for him, it goes deeper than that. Beyond the numbers, Kayleb measures his team's success by company culture. He wants people to feel appreciated, cared for, and to have fun. And having that human-centered approach helps him stay connected to the importance of his work as a sales leader.  This week, hear Kayleb talk about how he motivates his team through wins and losses, and his transformation from CRM hater to CRM lover once he realized just how important CRM technology is to fulfilling your mission.  Quotes “So I would say that there's not one way to be successful in a sales career, right. I'm not to go off script, but to be genuine. I think that's something that you can't teach -- to be genuine and to kind of create your own style.” (8:50-9:05) “Be Genuine and Create Your Own Style.” (12:30-12:34) "I'd rather take somebody that doesn't have the knowledge, so you can train the knowledge but I don't. for me personally I don't think you can train someone to work hard..." (25:06-25-15) "I would go back to the three priorities that I told you earlier, right, I can't put the first one on them right because that's not everyone else's priority... again it goes back to, to the why, what is their why?"

Be Genuine, Be Kind, Be Positive, Be Inspiring, Be Authentic.   Dr Alex Box is an internationally renowned Artist who has redefined the role of creativity in Makeup and the future of Beauty and the Body. As a Futurist, her multidimensional approach has established her as a creator of a new visual language and dialogue that exists between the body and movement, artistic expression, technology and scientific enquiry.   Her manifesto is to bring spiritual creative freedom and evoke the emotionally intelligent soul and the craft of art and future of beauty, pushing boundaries and inspiring others to do the same. From her Creative Director role at Illamasqua 2008-2015 which changed the way beauty was perceived and lead the brand into cult status, through to her public speaking and much lauded TED talk and international performances which ask questions about how and why we create, Alex has challenged and changed social media culture, asking us to re-evaluate our self image and move beyond prescribed culture to more radical self / belief and expression.   http://thealexbox.com/ Instagram: @thealexbox  

In this week's episode of the Follower of One podcast, Mike speaks with Ryan Mehaffey. Ryan is the CEO and Founder of Feast Over Famine. Feast Over Famine's mission is to help servant-hearted organizations to scale effectively and navigate the tension where mission and profit collide while focusing on serving and developing the global social enterprise eco-system. Please welcome Ryan to our Community!    Episode Breakdown   0:50 - Meet Ryan  1:30 - Ryan's Story  4:05 - Feast Over Famine 8:50 - Ryan's Story to Christ 14:00 - Lifting Weight After Praying  15:00 - Leaving Corporate Job 20:30 - Ryan's Advice for Faith at Work     Open Up When You Are Called Upon   It is often the case in our work life that we feel pressure from unknown sources to hide our faith from our coworkers. Why is that? Ryan talks with Mike about his journey to God and how even after his commitment to Jesus, he felt as though he needed to not spread his faith to others in the workplace. We learn later that there were people able to support him who worked right next to him each day! So, how do we overcome this? The Marketplace Mission Trip can help, but know that is not all! Statistics show us that there is someone in your workplace that is a true, god-fearing, bible-reading, lover-of-christ probably sitting right next to you. Feel confident in that fact. Know that God is working in your life and you need to search for opportunities to share your story. Don't just scream it from atop mountains, look for openings within your relationships to grow a genuine connection through your faith.        Be Genuine and Authentic    Everyone on this planet is walking a different path. This rings true with Christians as well. How do we separate ourselves from the proverbial snakes in our path? We need to make sure all of our actions are genuine to the core. Ryan speaks to his path and he does it with passion and love for the people around him. As a Christian, one of the biggest setbacks we face is the "hypocrisy" of our actions. Face this head-on. Use your story and a stepping stone to following God and his teachings. We are not all perfect and speaking to things we don't fully believe in, know, or act out are easily revealed to others around us. Be yourself and you will be respected more!  Connect with Ryan   Ryan's LinkedIn Feast Over Famine Feast Over Famine Podcast Lion's Den DFW   Connect With Follower Of One   Join us over in our Online Community, get social with us; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

It's so easy to live our own little lives, unconnected to one another. And when we are together, it's easy to posture and pose, afraid to be our flawed selves. In this message, Justin explores two more of RRCOC's Core Behaviors: Be Together and Be Genuine.

In this episode, Be Real, Be Authentic , Be You, we talked about how it is absolutely necessary to be real. We discussed how to make it our mission to be authentic instead of being perfect. The steps we discussed in this episode wereStep 1 : Know yourselfStep 2 : Accept yourselfStep 3 : Love yourselfStep 4 : Be honestThe action items that we planned on working are.Write down three things , what you like about yourself, what you don’t like about yourself, and how you will work on your shortcomings.Not to use electronics first and last half an hour of the day and connect with yourself intentionally.I can not stress this more, spend at least 30 minutes for yourself, on your passion, your hobby.Thank you so much for listening to my podcast. and don't forget to share your Happy moment of the week in review comments.Episode 9 - Self Love (Part 1) - https://www.morningcupofsunshine.com/podcast/episode/4b888349/episode-9-self-love-part-1Episode 10 - Self Love (Part 2). - https://www.morningcupofsunshine.com/podcast/episode/4a4e821f/episode-10-self-love-part-2Please subscribe to this podcast - Morning Cup of Sunshine.Please visit my website - www.morningcupofsunshine.com for more details.

This one is definitely for the times we’re in where so many people are now back on the job marketing looking for work. It many cases, they have not had to ‘do up’ their CV/resume in a long time or have had to prepare for an interview either.

Lorraine provides complete career management support from A-Z ranging from Career Direction/ Career Transition Coaching to the practicalities of CV updating and tailoring, Job Search Strategies and Interview skills.While we tried to cover as much as we could in the time allotted, I’m sure you’ll still have some questions I didn’t ask.

“I'm not smart… I prepare. And that goes for anything in life.” –Mona Dixon Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right! This famous Henry Ford quote echoes a fact nobody can challenge- our attitude towards obstacles can spell either success or failure. We need to accept the fact that obstacles are a given. It may come in many names and many forms but their existence is never to stop us from attaining success. They are there to remind us to keep going because when we begin to relax on our journey, we might think that we’ve already reached our goal even before we actually do. For Mona Dixon, obstacles are what makes her story inspiring and meaningful.

This is the first part of the whole part podcast series about an infographic I just put out on Twitter (@Pete_Rufo) titled “Separate Yourself”. Not only are you looking to separate yourself as a friend but also looking to separate yourself and your personal brand of others. In this podcast I dive into the first part: Be Genuine.

Here’s how to revive dying seminar conversions and boost them to even higher heights - with one simple strategy switch. Love giving seminars but not seeing the ROI you need, let alone the ROI you want? Industry expert and top financial advisor trainer Frank Maselli shares how financial professionals can give powerful, sales-generating seminars, including: The ONE advanced presentation technique you need to adopt to captivate your audience’s attention Why a simple switch creates immediate connection and PRE-SELLS your services When and where to add this twist for maximum effectiveness The critical elements of a seminar that sells Why it’s not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it that creates results How to use this technique to create MORE audience interaction, discussion, and action The technique you can steal from your favorite fiction novel to fuel audience engagement A common PITFALL many advisors fall into with this strategy, and how to avoid it How to use humor the RIGHT way when making sales presentations Why it pays to BE GENUINE and how to ensure your authenticity is communicated

Be Genuine in everything you do. Have good intentions. Give value to everyone you possibly can!

There is so much information out there about prospecting and how to increase your lead generation; however, due to so much content out there, we get lost in what strategies are actually effective. Therefore, I decided to share 3 key strategies for prospecting that are proven to work. 1. Know Your Customers Enter Their World / Their Mind. Know Their Problems / Challenges / Frustrations. Get Clear On Your Solution 2. Screw The Scripts Be Human. Be Genuine, Honest, Sincere and Caring. Talk Less - Listen More. 3. Fuck Your Excuses and Embrace Your Reasons.   Make sure to follow me to stay up to date: Chadi Bazzi on Facebook Chadi Bazzi on Instagram Chadi Bazzi on Youtube

You have heard our guests talk about co-opetition- that really cool thing that happens when competitors come together to collaborate on a project or program in order to create something bigger than they could have done on their own. This podcast recaps ten strategies for successful collaborative partnerships that we have learned from our guests. What you’ll learn about in this episode: Strategy #1: Communication — why clear communication requires talking on the phone or in person — not just through email (David Holder) Strategy #2: Bring the right resources to bear — why you must know when to bring in outside help when you don’t have the necessary expertise needed for a project (Ralph Thompson) Strategy #3: Set realistic expectations — why it’s so crucial to make sure that all project collaborators understand what realistic project success looks like — especially in the short term (Meg Vanek) Strategy #4: Form relationships that lead to partnerships — why networking is the way that successful collaborative partnerships get off the ground (Kelly Rapone) Strategy #5: Have a shared vision — why it’s so important that all collaborators envision the same outcome for a project (Jennifer Ackerson) Strategy #6: Find commonality — why successful partnerships have to come from a place where partners share something in common (Leah Mueller) Strategy #7: Set deadlines — why you need doers (not talkers) in your partnerships (Leah Mueller) Strategy #8: Ask for solutions — why you shouldn’t present solutions to your partners or stakeholders and should instead bring them into the discussion (Dan Fenton) Strategy #9: Have a can-do attitude — why you need to approach every project with the attitude that it will succeed (Kelly Blazosky) Strategy #10: Be Genuine — why you should underpromise and overdeliver in your partnerships (Kristy Kennedy)
