In this episode we explore the importance of remaining open to unexpected detours and serendipitous moments in our creative and personal lives.Our guest, Bernadette Jiwa, a recognized authority on storytelling in business innovation and the author of the book Hunch, offers deep insights into how curiosity, empathy, and imagination are vital traits for spotting transformative opportunities. Jiwa explains the crucial difference between ideas and opportunities, emphasizing the importance of addressing real problems rather than merely generating ideas.We explore the concept that sometimes our objectives and goals can act as blinders, preventing us from recognizing valuable peripheral discoveries. Jiwa shares practical strategies for developing better awareness and tapping into serendipity, fostering the kind of curiosity and attention that can lead to breakthrough innovations.Throughout the episode, Jiwa provides examples of how successful entrepreneurs have turned seemingly mundane observations into impactful solutions, reinforcing the value of remaining curious and empathetic in our pursuits.Key Learnings:Unexpected Discoveries: Often, the most significant breakthroughs come from being open to accidents and unexpected findings, as demonstrated by Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin.Curiosity, Empathy, Imagination: These three qualities are common traits among individuals who consistently generate great ideas and can be cultivated by anyone.Opportunities vs. Ideas: True innovation addresses opportunities (problems begging for solutions) rather than just coming up with ideas.The Limitation of Objectives: Strict adherence to goals can limit our ability to see valuable opportunities in our surroundings.The Power of Noticing: Paying attention to the world around us, asking pertinent questions, and listening to our environment can lead to significant insights and innovations.Get full interviews and daily content in the Daily Creative app at DailyCreative.app.

Host: Alyson B. Stanfield For so long, I asked artists Why they make art. Some artists have a Why. For other artists, being asked why they make art is unfruitful—even debilitating. They feel unworthy if they can't come up with a good Why. A better strategy is to focus on the people who will be viewing, talking about, and living with your art. How does your art make people feel? Bernadette Jiwa says, "People don't buy why you do something. They buy how it makes them feel." If you think about it, this, ironically, leads to your Why: Connection.

Meet Allison:She is the founder of Felt Marketing. She and her team are on a mission to strengthen heart and soul manufacturing for generations by helping manufacturers retrofit their marketing to make sales easier, modifying traditional systems with modern components. She's also your marketing expert on the Manufacturing Masters on Demand platform.Lori: What's the biggest opportunity manufacturers aren't capitalizing on today to make sales easier?Allison: Love that question. I would say they're still siloing sales and marketing, and they're not. It's a topic we've all talked about for probably two decades, and I still encounter it, even with my clients trying to get the marketing team to meet up with the sales team monthly. I beg I'm like, okay, give us 20 minutes. 20 minutes. I know everybody's busy. And I think that I know that if you would unite your sales and marketing team, you would increase your growth, and you would increase your profits. I guarantee you'll make sales easier. And that's something that we started talking about at Felt probably six, seven years ago. And we put ourselves through our process, and we realized that we were still speaking our language, not our customer's language. And we thought, all right, what do people want more of? What do manufacturers want more of? They don't want more marketing. They want less marketing. They want more sales. And so that was a big shift for us. And so I've been preaching that ever since. If you can bring your sales team, they're in the boots on the ground. So if you can understand, hear from them the stories, the challenges, the wins, and get ideas. The whole reason we exist is to support them and to support customers. And I learned something about a phrase several years ago. I don't know if it was from Bernadette Jiwa or Seth Goden, I think it was Seth, but it was, stop marketing at people and start marketing on behalf of and for them. So if we can shift that one perspective and unite sales and marketing. We will make sales easier. We will help our salespeople sell while they're sleeping and be of service. And that's the whole point of marketing. So what do you guys think? Am I barking up the wrong tree?Kris: Do you have any simple tricks to create the space for marketing and sales to come together?Allison: Yeah, well, I had a couple of thoughts. I think this has to start from the top. It comes from leadership. And when I meet a leader that has a sales background, but they don't understand or value marketing, they typically issue my request to bring the two together. And I believe it's just simply based on fear. It's fear of I don't understand what this is. I still think it's smoke and mirrors and fluff marketing. And our sales team is the most crucial part of this company because we make the money and don't have time. We don't have time to be bothered. We don't have time to take out of our day. And so that's the first thing. I think it's got to come from the top down. Second, I think we've got to overcome the fear and simply say, come to the table and say, as a marketer, I always come to the table and say, hey, I want to hear from you, sales team. You have all the knowledge. You are talking day in and day out with the customers and with potential customers. So I need to know what you know. I want to hear from you. I want to hear your ideas. And I think if you're a good marketer, part of our job is to pull it out of them. And I feel like we're good at that. Like I tell people, you don't need special shoes and this isn't going to hurt. It's a conversation. It's dialogue. And trust me, I will artfully pull it out of you. And it's a lot of times those little nuggets that they just take for granted. The thing, too that I find well, I'll give you a super quick example. I was meeting with a client a couple of years ago, and my podcast buddy Ray and
Hey there my wise friends, it's so good to be back with you for a brand new season of Collective Wisdom after the long summer break. It's certainly been a tumultuous few weeks here in the UK with not only a new prime minister. But then the sad news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the impact of which has been felt across the nation and reverberated around the world. It's also been a time to reflect on the legacy that 70 years of dedicated and devoted service to a job leaves behind as Kirsty Young reporting for The BBC said so movingly, after the funeral, “She made history. She was history, and she will never be forgotten.” Which brings me on to today's guest, my lovely friend, the author, and now novelist, Bernadette Jiwa, who is here today to talk to us about her new novel, The Making of Her, which as you'll hear is a story that's steeped with her own history, and really feels like it comes straight from the heart. Bernadette was kind enough to agree to interview me back in 2020 for Episode One season one of the podcast, and it's almost unthinkable just how much the world has changed since then, it was a real pleasure to catch up with her and to learn more about the new novel, which although the characters are fictitious, is dedicated to the illegitimate children born in Ireland who so often grew up without ever knowing their real family so that they too are not forgotten. I'm sure you're going to enjoy this conversation just as much as I did. And I promise you the novel does not disappoint you. The Making of Her by Bernadette Jiwa The Story of Telling - Bernadette Jiwa Song: Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers Wisdom ‘Write the Truth'
Originally from Ireland, Bernadette Jiwa migrated to Melbourne and started her writing career as a blogger and non-fiction writer - later becoming a storytelling adviser and the author of ten Amazon bestselling non-fiction titles. In 2019, Bernadette began writing what would become her debut novel. Called 'The Making of Her' (published by Penguin), Bernadette has written a mesmerising human story. A page-turning, can't-look-away mother-daughter story about the devastating consequences of a single decision and whether the past can ever truly be forgotten. A stunning story. I had the privilege of chatting with Bernadette for the podcast a little while ago.
In our annual Debut Author special we have three new Australian authors to chat to.First up Janine chats to Bernadette Jiwa about her debut novel The Making of Her which is is a page-turning mother-daughter love story, spanning the 1960s to 1990s, charting one woman's journey to escape the legacy of the society that shaped her. Courtney then speaks with Lyn Yeowart about her suspenseful, original and engaging story The Silent Listener that has drawn comparisons to Where the Crawdads Sing and The Dry. And last but definitely not least Janine chats to Kylie Orr about her domestic suspense novel Someone Else's Child which is a gripping contemporary novel from a magnificent new talent that tackles the almost unbreakable loyalty of female friendships, the generosity of community and the lengths we will go to save a child.
Paulette Perhach (@pauletteperhach) is an freelance writer, journalist and writing coach, who shares her knowledge and expertise with those pursuing writing, both as a career or for personal creative goals. In this lively podcast interview, Paulette speaks to host Anne Muhlethaler about her early beginnings with writing, how one of her stories, ‘The Fuck-off Fund', went viral, and how this didn't just propel her to the top of literature mountain but zip-lined her (in her own words) to finance media mountain. Since then, Paulette has published her first book, Welcome to the Writer's World, and tells Anne all about the writing and editing process, as well as the courses and services she's currently developing. Paulette, along with the novelist April Davila, also co-created a virtual space for writers during the pandemic, called A Very Important Meeting, offering participants mindfulness meditation and a 45 min focused writing session, with the option to get support on their writing projects from the hosts, who are all accomplished writers themselves. Paulette talks with a lot of humour about her personal challenges with finances, writing, day-jobs, anxiety and how mindfulness and meditation have supported her in finding more balance when managing her anxious mind. A very spirited and inspiring conversation. ***Selected inks from episodeYou can find Paulette at http://www.pauletteperhach.com/or follow her on Twitter https://twitter.com/pauletteperhachon Instagram https://www.instagram.com/paulettejperhach/or on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulette-perhach-23b12832/Paulette's viral story, the Fuck Off Fund https://www.thebillfold.com/2016/01/a-story-of-a-fuck-off-fund/#.hz4t8emwjA Very Important Meeting - writing coaches bios and details - https://www.averyimportantmeeting.com/instructorsMichael Moss books on the food industry - https://www.mossbooks.us/Writer Chuck Klosterman - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_KlostermanPaulette's dream obituary is available to read here: http://www.pauletteperhach.com/aboutHugo House - a house for writers, in Seattle - https://hugohouse.org/McSweeney's - https://www.mcsweeneys.net/Granta - https://granta.com/Welcome to the Writer's Life - Paulette's blog - https://welcometothewriterslife.com/And Welcome to the Writer's Life - the book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39711925-welcome-to-the-writer-s-lifePenland School of Crafts - https://penland.org/Bernadette Jiwa - https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6556886.Bernadette_JiwaTara Brach - the sacred pause, guided meditation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-yF9EMkE88Kerfuffle - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kerfuffleHolocene, a song by Bon Iver - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWcyIpul8OE On Bullshit , a book by American philosopher Harry J Frankfurt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_BullshitMatrix, a book by Lauren Groff - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57185348-matrixThe Body, a guide for occupants, by Bill Bryson - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43582376-the-bodyGeorge Saunders - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Saunders ***If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, it helps people find us and also helps to secure future guests.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk. You'll recognize yourself in these true-life stories from women who are walking their lives while their lives walk them and the lasting difference these journeys have made. I'm your host, Diane Wyzga.Today my guest is Sue Heatherington, writer, catalyst and thinking partner for pioneers, innovators and change-makers who want to cultivate a better change perspective in the world. In 2018 Sue coined the term “Quiet Disruptor” as a short-hand introduction to her unusually broad back story, which includes 10 years as a pioneering public service chief executive. Now, Quiet Disruptors: Creating Change Without Shouting is the title of her newly published book.Sue is joining us all the way from Swansea, Wales where she writes daily thought-provoking blog posts while inviting us to explore her valley through the lens of her camera. I've invited Sue to talk with us about the practice of writing, changing the narrative around conversations and belonging, her manifesto, her book, and most significantly doing it all without shouting. Welcome to the podcast, Sue!Minutes 38:2400 to 4:02 Intro and AlpacasSue (along with her podcaster husband, Steve Heatherington) are raising about 45 AlpacasDid you know that alpacas hum?They also anxiously look around: “Where's the baby! Where's the baby!”Some cluck to their babies weeks before the babies are bornSue learns so much from them4:02 to 6:28 Start From Where You AreHost: One of these fine days we will return to travel and Wales - among other places - is on my hiking itinerary. If I met up with you on one of your favorite walks, where is it and what might I notice about you?Sue smiles!Sue's valley makes she feel so good, to be in her own skinSue strolls to be where she is instead of fast walking to get somewhereSue is a wanderer, taking everything in, open to seeing what she needs to noticeSue is a stopper and a looker and a listenerSue's intention is to be very presentHost: Sue's blog posts with her photography comes from a place of slowing down, pausing and being aware.6:28 to 20:05 A Bit of Back Story. Before we get to your manifesto and your book, entitled Quiet Disruptors: Creating Change Without Shouting, I'd like to know a bit about how you coined the term “Quiet Disruptor” in 2018. Would you share with us how that came about and what you discovered about yourself in that process.A beautiful defining moment that Sue didn't see comingSue had gone through challenging times professionally and personally and not expecting beauty to emergeSue's approach (how can we do this differently) is not traditional and may make folks uncomfortable, like The Emperor's Clothes storyHealth, family, and Sue's own purpose, direction and income challenges together created a constellation of taxing and trying times and then Sue's diagnosis of breast cancerOut of all of this acute chaos, in her recovery time Sue was exploring “Now what?”Sue joined an online community with Bernadette Jiwa and coined “Quiet Disruptor” as a means of introducing herself with honesty but without dramaAlso reading David Hieatt and The DO Lectures As well as Susan Cane and her Quiet Power book Being a Quiet Disruptor is Sue's life - in a quiet voiceAfter Sue began using this phrase she was stunned by how much people were drawn to it and wanted to use it as well: I can be a change-maker my own way; I feel seen and heard. Quiet Disruptor changes how people perceive themselves because change is theirs to say and do - call out the status quo, etc. but differentlyNow the “do” happens: as a way of changing the conversation for folks Sue wrote a Manifesto to enable those who want to be seen and heard to have a way to quietly disruptSue was seeing that the voices of the Quiet Disruptors were experiencing their time having come as a collective connective, to say, do, explore and createOne person can no longer be The HeroOrganizations will have to be on the forefront of the global changeHost: an unrealistic burden to expect The One to have the answers, especially when imposed by society. If The One has no answers or, not the right answers they might push, shove, shout or masqueradeSue is extending a welcome to The OthersCome on board and work together, all voices are to be heard 20:05 to 36:30 Manifesto for Quiet DisruptorsThe word Manifesto is strong, a public declaration of intention, of design. Would you give us the opportunity to hear your Manifesto.Sue reads her Manifesto as an advocate for Quiet DisruptorsWe need Quiet Disruptors and here's why.Host: There is so much in the invitation to come along. People drawn like filings to a magnet. Sue named qualities or attributes shared by the Quiet Disruptors: stubborn courage, do work quietly and insistently. Question: How might we notice change makers among us or even notice if we could be a change maker?Those who have read Sue's book and claim the Quiet Disruptor label for themselves, are self-identifyingBeing seen and heard is keySue uses tree and fruit as metaphor to explain how to notice the others.The Others have certain characteristics which we recognize: thoughtfully curious, how they are in the world, with others, those who ask the questions, delve deeper, join the dots, see the bigger picture, expression of creativity, the effect on othersHost: I imagine you have people and situations in mind. Question: would you share a few who are already carrying on as a Quiet Disruptors.The book highlights who is already out there - some well known, some not so well known - making courageous connectionsOne example: Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen, MD: as a practicing physician could see her patients in a way colleagues could not. Also saw that her colleagues were unseen and unheard and became protectively hardened. Remen shifted this experience and radically changed clinical practice in the United StatesHost: One woman begins the shift and then change happens over the course of time. Similarly in the legal profession. Litigators who learned to tell their own stories - doing an archeological dig on themselves - were better able to tell their clients' stories. Being seen and being heard goes toward our understanding and being understood.So often people struggle to listen deeplyThe traditional model is waiting to get the next word inCultivating your curiosity has more value in the questionsWe are at a space of asking deeper questionsQuestion: Let's assume you might have to work with or encounter someone who is not so agreeable to this notion of disrupting quietly, how would you suggest working with folks like that to get them to see the necessity of hopeful, quiet change?Here we are, at the end of the road but not the journey. Thank you for listening to Part 1 of this episode of Stories From Women Who Walk with your host Diane Wyzga and my guest Sue Heatherington, Quiet Disruptor, blogger, author of the book Quiet Disruptors:Creating Change Without Shouting, and a catalyst for pioneers, innovators and change-makers who joined us from her small valley in Swansea, Wales.

Hey there, my wise friends and welcome to season five of The Collective Wisdom Podcast. We're kicking off this new season with a little bit of a difference because rather than having one or two guests this week, I have 16. Yep, I like a good challenge. Why the party? Well, because over the summer, I was lucky enough to be involved in a collaborative book project with a group of friends who are all members of an online community I'm part of called The Right Company, which was founded back in 2018 by Bernadette Jiwa and Mark Dyck to support freelancers, solopreneurs, and business owners. A few of us have been working together on that project. And this week, we're celebrating the launch of our book into the world. It's called 'Enough: Unlock a life of abundance starting right where you are' In the book, we share our own perspectives on how we've set about doing work that feels aligned with our values, and gives us that sense of fulfilment, whilst also leaving us with enough time and energy to focus on perhaps the other things in life that matter to us. We've shared our compelling stories where we distil all the advice and wisdom we've learned along the way. We share insights from failures, celebrate creativity with poetry, and ask some powerfully reflective questions that we've often asked ourselves. It's our hope that reading our stories will inspire you to reflect on your own answer to the question of 'what is enough?' and explore your own unique gifts and creative talents to focus your attention on what it is you really want to achieve in life. Perhaps finding the encouragement to taking steps towards building or rebuilding a life that is rich in every sense of the word. In short, we hope it's a call to action for how to use that propelling question of 'What is enough?' as a compass for living life on your terms.

I was so honored and excited to speak to my friend, mentor, inspiration – Bernadette Jiwa – that I forgot to welcome her to the show. We had technical issues soon after we began the interview and, even though I got the chance to re-do my introduction, I failed a second time to say hello. But this is the magic of Bernadette. Every time we speak, we dive right into the deep end. There's no shallow end of the pool for us. And since I carry Bernadette in my heart at all times, I forgot to welcome her into a space I feel she inhabits constantly. So in we jumped. We talked about the many ways in life we show up as leaders outside of professional roles – as wives, daughters, sisters, mothers – and how leading with love creates a fierceness, a power in leadership. Love leads all of Bernadette's stories – from her childhood in Ireland to her life as a writer in Australia. We explore how helping others discover their own stories, and therefore the leadership of themselves through their stories, is work we feel privileged and honored to do in Bernadette's Story Skills Workshop. Listen as Bernadette shares beautiful personal family stories exploring themes of agency, starting without knowing the outcome, and beginning everything from a place of love.

I should have known when I asked a storyteller to let me interview her, she'd insist on hearing my stories as well. In this opening episode, Bernadette Jiwa turns the tables on me, acts as host, and pulls out all my stories. We talk about weird school lunches, unusual parents, remarkable teachers, and my journey through law, coaching, and activism. Although Bernadette and I have never met in person, we recognized each other in the online workshop she was leading because we both showed up full of fire and light. We explore what that combination means and the power it has to create lasting change. I talk about how discovering the dance between fire and light led to my current activism and the creation of this podcast. We also discuss the others - those advocating for change, acting on behalf of equity, and dancing as they stay in the fight. This is my story – join me. Let's live through this together.

In this new episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Muhlethaler interviews Nadine Kelly (https://www.instagram.com/yogimdnet/?hl=en), a retired pathologist, experienced yoga instructor, American Council of Exercise certified Health Coach and Senior Exercise Specialist. She is also the founder of YOGI M.D. and host of the YOGI M.D. Podcast. Anne and Nadine are Akimbo almumni, they met in 2020 on the Podcasting Fellowship, an online course for budding podcasters hosted by Seth Godin and Alex di Palma. In this conversation, Nadine candidly reveals her journey leaving her medical career due to depression to finding her path as a yoga teacher, and later on as a health coach. Anne and Nadine discuss the link between yoga and mental wellness, and how Nadine's calling to teach seniors who she warmly refers to as her ‘wise women'. They talk about their learnings from coaching, particularly around limiting beliefs, and the value in Nadine's motto: no strain, no gain. The two of them found tremendous value in Seth Godin's Akimbo workshops, which Nadine calls ‘the classroom she always wished she'd had' and touch on the importance of good teachers. Especially good music teachers: Nadine is a keen drummer, while Anne is a pianist and vocalist.Nadine's love of podcasting contagious, she is dedicated to her audience and to the intimacy of the medium: 'When I record my podcast episodes, when I sit with my guests, the feeling I want to have is we're nerding out in my living room'. Nerding out on yoga, fitness, health and wellness, like the six dimensions of well-being. A bright conversation!

Welcome to the final episode of this first series of The Collective Wisdom Podcast. So, I'll be ending where I began this series with Bernadette Jiwa. She is an amazing friend and mentor, and she was the person whose lovely soft Irish accent you heard interviewing me right there in episode one. We talked about her music choice of U2 and her stories of kindness and wisdom she has learnt around not limiting yourself to other people's expectations and beliefs around what you can achieve. She now has at least 10 best sellers on the Amazon list. So, it just goes to show that if you've got that conviction and motivation, if you can find it in yourself to just take that first step it's amazing where it will lead.

The One-Page Method for Reimaging Your Business and Reinventing Your Market. Think about the products you buy. Do you have a connection with them? Likely not. In fact, we often buy products simply because of price or convenience. There are some products and services, however, that people feel a deep loyalty to. Think about brands like Apple, Facebook, and Airbnb who have a loyal following and devoted fan base. What is it about these companies that make people fall in love with them? Throughout Difference, author Bernadette Jiwa lays out how brands like these use the traditional “Ps” of marketing and add one additional, key ingredient: people. That’s right, they place the consumer first and center their needs around everything they do. The result? Love and loyalty. So how can you do the same for your business? Find out now. As you read, you’ll learn why you need to start with the truth instead of a product, why empathy is important, and how companies like Airbnb and Uber have set a new standard in their industries. *** Do you want more free audiobook summaries like this?

My last recording was mentally and emotionally draining and after I said my peace, I decided to get lost in the world of Storytelling and further immersing myself in an online workshop that ended up being my saving grace.

About the guest: Rick Saucier has been teaching in higher education for 28 years, including the last eight at Thomas College in Waterville. He was a first-generation college student, earning his bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Maine at Presque Isle in 1982. He went into the retail management business with KMart Fashion, starting in Waterville, then to New York, and then back to Maine. Five years after graduation he decided to pursue his M.B.A. at UMaine. He was recognized by the program, In 1991, he pursued a career ambition of teaching business in higher ed - first with Eastern Maine Technical College (EMTC). While at EMTC, he pursued his D.B.A from California Pacific University. In 2001 he moved to central Minnesota to teach at St. John's University. In 2012, hearing the call of family, he moved back to Maine to teach at Thomas College. He currently teaches a variety of marketing courses, the business capstone class, and for the Harold Alfond Institute for Business Innovation. Along the way, Rick has published three books covering a variety of marketing topics on retail store design, marketing ethics, and the experience of teaching in higher education. He has also written on a number of topics ranging from the ethics of stealth marketing to the responsibility that marketers have for consumer happiness to curricular issues facing colleges. Rick is a member of the Marketing Management Association, and the Society for the Advancement of Management (S.A.M.) He has presented at several conferences. Rick believes Maine's students can compete with anyone in the country which came to fruition in March 2019, when a team of Thomas College students he coached won 2 first-place honors at S.A.M.'s international conference in Orlando, Florida. He resides In Etna, Maine with his wife of 35 years. In the episode: 3:30 – After graduating from college, Rick describes how he worked in retail management before pursuing his life interest of teaching higher education. 7:53 – Rick tells about the success Thomas College students have had competing nationally at the annual Society for the Advancement of Management (S.A.M.) competition. 10:20 – Rick shares three pieces of advice that he likes to tell his students. 17:25 – Rick suggests viewing marketing as an investment and stresses the importance of measuring success because of how expensive marketing is. 21:27 – Rather than always focusing on sales, Rick recommends focusing on other customer behaviors in addition to sales as they are vitally important as well. 23:12 – Rick returns to his point about focusing on the fundamentals because of how fast the marketing landscape is changing. 26:50 – As a life-long learner, Rick shares some of the resources and thought leaders he learns from. 34:54 – While students today look to get a better job with their business degree, Rick describes how he tries to teach them how to communicate effectively, which is one of the top qualities employers look for. 39:14 – Nancy and Rick talk about building brands through storytelling. 42:09 – Rick describes how his childhood and being a first-generation college student is reflected in his work. 44:23 – Rick tells how his network grows, whether it is the students he teaches or the organizations he is a part of. 50:43 – Rick talks about the books that he has written about marketing and teaching higher education. 55:04 – To keep college education more affordable, Rick explains how he is creating course curriculums that do not require a textbook. Quote: “I try to tell my students that why I focus on fundamentals and basics in their class is that there's a good chance, whatever job that they're going to engage in after they graduate, that the same job may not even exist today. If you understand the basics, you can take those basics with you and apply them in whatever position that you'll be engaged in, going forward.” – Rick Saucier, professor of marketing at Thomas College Links: Thomas College: https://www.thomas.edu/rick-saucier/ PR Works! by Nancy Marshall: https://www.amazon.com/PR-Works-implement-leverage-relations/dp/1511641614 Grow Your Audience, Grow Your Brand by Nancy Marshall: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088JS6YL4/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1 Influencing Sales Through Store Design by Rick Saucier: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0773475982/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1 Marketing Ethics by Rick Saucier https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0773451161/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 Reflections on Life in Higher Education: https://www.amazon.com/Reflections-Life-Higher-Education-Saucier-ebook/dp/B0189BC1QC/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=rick+saucier&qid=1589574233&s=books&sr=1-2 Bernadette Jiwa: https://thestoryoftelling.com/ Seth Godin: https://www.sethgodin.com/ Jonah Berger: https://jonahberger.com/books/contagious/ Marketing Management Association: http://www.mmaglobal.org/ Saint John's University: https://www.csbsju.edu/ Listen to Laurie Lachance's PR Maven® Podcast episode Listen to Emma Dimock's PR Maven® Podcast episode Listen to Chip Carey's PR Maven® Podcast episode Listen to Whitney Raymond's PR Maven® Podcast episode Activate the PR Maven® Flash Briefing on your Alexa Device.

"I probably didn't rely on that in my twenties, early thirties... When you embark on the journey of becoming a parent and you are looking to other people, but you haven't really questioned what your own values and beliefs are before you ask advice from other people. So, I think to sort of trust your own wisdom from an earlier age is probably something that I would say to my younger self."Episode #42 of The Hope Initiative with Cat Preston.I had the pleasure of meeting and learning from Cat in the Story Skills Workshop. A lady from the south of England originally, she has truly called a lot of the world her home for years, berthing her 3 children on different continents, supporting her husband through different opportunities which has seen them live in France and across South East Asia including Malaysia and Hong Kong to name but a few.In this conversation we talk about how Cat's life didn't turn out how she'd expected it to be, but how she is truly taking everything in her stride to now be living an eclectic life. Asking important questions such as, "Who's it not for?" and being in a place where she now trusts is her own instincts and wisdom as she approaches half a century in this lifetime; I am proud to share this conversation and learnings from the wonderful, Cat Preston.Please enjoy.SHOW NOTEScatpreston.comCat on Instagram & FacebookThe Story Skills Workshop via AkimboBernadette Jiwa - Bernadette is the co founder and brains behind the workshop.

The poet Muriel Rukeyser wrote, “The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.” I think, actually, it’s likely made of both … and while I can’t really claim any deep expertise in physics, I do know a little bit about the power of story-telling. A little bit. But not as much as Bernadette Jiwa who amongst other things has teamed up with Seth Godin to create a fantastic workshop on storytelling as part of his Akimbo series. Storytelling is the fabric that creates relationship and community and history. In creating history, it allows you to navigate where you are in the present, and also lay a path out to where you might be going in the future. But it’s plenty easy to tell a story poorly. A boring start, a soggy middle, an end that trails off … we’ve all been on the receiving end of that non-epic. To get beyond that, to save your story, you need a Story Scaffold, which is just what Bernadette shares in this episode. Bernadette helps people, organizations, and communities practice everyday storytelling to build resilience, trust, and connection … all critical skills to help us get through this.

Who is on the show: In this episode, we host Bernadette Jiwa. She is a best selling author of multiple books and writes one of the most popular marketing and branding blogs - The Story of Telling. Smart Company named as the top business blog in Australia of 2016. Seth Godin listed it as one of the marketing blogs he reads. Why is she on the show: She just released her most recent book - Hunch. The book talks about how we can turn our everyday insights into the next big thing. What do we talk about: In this episode, we talk about how this particular book came about. She shares her insight about how entrepreneurs - small and large are getting deluded in the barrage of data and using it as a crutch to not decide and work on their hunches. She shares some very interesting stories about how Richard Turere (all of 12 years old) helped save his cows from Lions and in the process invented the "Lion Lights". She also shares the story of how one doctor (Dr. Ravenell) leveraged the popularity and the sense of community in a barber shop - Denny Moe's to change the lives of thousands of black men by converging healthcare and haircare. She defines Hunch as below: Hunch = Insights + Foresights Simple yet elegant way to define something extremely complicated, I must say. She also talks about the fact that in order to get these hunches, we need to look at the intersection of three things. Hunches are formed at the intersection of Curiosity, Imagination and Empathy. There are opportunities all around us if only we stop and notice them. She shares her way of getting these inspiring stories from the everyday walk of life. She says that these stories are all around us, if only we can stop and look for them, if we find them, slow down and think about them. We also discuss how important boredom is and how crucial having distraction free time for us to think about stuff that we have learnt and allow it to sink in and come up with our own perspective and a lot more. She shares how Sara Blakely founded Spanx with 5000 USD and she takes the long route to work, so that she can get some quite reflection time for herself almost everyday. This is a short episode but one filled with a lot of insights and learnings. How can you connect with her: I strongly recommend that you buy her book - Hunch. The book is packed with a lot of such stories and also has a lot of prompts that can nudge us to practice all the three things that she talks about (curiosity, imagination and empathy) that are important for coming up with our own hunches. Also, subscribe to her blog. She blogs every single day. Her blogs are an oasis in the middle of a barrage of blogs that dont speak to you. They are short but insightful. They speak to us in a way not many blogs do. You can also follow her on twitter @bernadetteJiwa. PS: You can watch the TED Talks by Richard & Dr. Rayenell.
Welcome to episode #574 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #574 - Host: Mitch Joel. When Seth Godin recommends a guest for your show, one should listen. In the decade-plus that Six Pixels of Separation has been running, Seth has never recommended a guest until now (and I am so grateful and thankful that he did!). I've been a fan and follower of Bernadette Jiwa for some time now. Most recently, Bernadette published her newest book, Hunch - Turn Your Everyday Insights Into The Next Big Thing. She is also the author of five other bestselling books (Meaningful, Marketing - A Love Story, Fortune Cookie Principle, Difference, and Make Your Idea Matter). Mostly, she helps companies design, build and grow a brand through the development of a true, powerful and meaningful story. She believes that the smallest insights (not always the data) is where the brand breakthrough resides. With that, intuition is more valuable than ever, but how do you nurture and cultivate that?
