In this episode, Christina engages in a thought-provoking conversation with behaviour specialist Andy Baker. They explore the complexities of behaviour management, particularly in the context of neurodiversity, and how understanding behaviour as a form of communication can transform interactions in both personal and professional settings. Andy shares his extensive experience in the health and social care sector, emphasizing the importance of empathy and the need to approach behaviour with curiosity rather than judgment.   KEY TAKEAWAYS All Behavior is Communication: It is crucial to understand that behaviour, whether it's a child acting out or an adult struggling, is a form of communication. Be a Detective, Not a Judge: Instead of jumping to conclusions about someone's behaviour, it's important to investigate the reasons behind it. The Importance of Self-Esteem: Many individuals, especially those who are neurodivergent, may struggle with self-esteem due to repeated negative feedback about their behaviour. Understanding Neurodiversity: Neurodivergent individuals, such as those with ADHD, may process information and respond to situations differently. Flexibility in Expectations: It's vital to adjust expectations based on an individual's developmental level rather than their chronological age.   BEST MOMENTS "The general premise is that all behavior is communication. I'm telling you something; I may not like the language you're using, but I'm communicating that at least I'm not happy." "Your response is your responsibility, right? Because we're the adults in that situation." "If I look at something like ADHD, one of the analogies I love for understanding attentiveness is like the bingo machine analogy. Some individuals with ADHD, their brain is like a bingo machine." "It's almost like I hate it when people say everyone's on the spectrum. I hate when people use the spectrum as an excuse." "If a kid doesn't know how to behave, then we should teach them. But there's still a philosophy there of sometimes punish them."   VALUABLE RESOURCES Christina Talks Podcast https://www.green-umbrella.biz/how-to-launch-anything-using-social-media/ ABOUT THE HOST Christina has been working with SME's since 2013 to launch, develop and perfect their online presence.

Multi-hire team-build projects can be profitable if strategized clearly and executed effectively. Where do you find opportunities to engage in multi-hire team-build projects? What should be your main areas of focus for successfully implementing? Our guest, Paul Press, is here to give insights!    Paul is the Managing Partner and Founder of Press & Associates, a leading executive search firm specializing in recruiting top technology talent for private equity firms and their portfolio companies. Before founding Press & Associates, Paul Press built a well-rounded career with experience in an executive search firm and an in-house talent acquisition position.   In this episode, you will hear valuable insights into leveraging experience as an in-house recruiter, applying MPC marketing strategies, and successfully navigating the complexities of multi-hire team-build projects.   Episode Outline and Highlights   03:25 Paul's recruiting backstory and how he launched his own firm. 06:37 Learnings from working in-house translating to running his own agency. 12:30 When to consider hiring a third-party recruiter from an in-house recruitment perspective. 18:35 Transitioning to Private Equity expertise. 23:11 Two main areas on winning multi-hire team build projects. 35:59 The risks of handling large-sized projects and how to mitigate them. 40:15 Paul shares the story of his $450k fee and MPC strategy discussion. 51:47 What Paul's MPC marketing strategy looks like. 58:04 Upcoming exciting times for Paul and Press Associates acquisition.   Leveraging Experience as an In-House Recruiter   Before founding Press & Associates, Paul built a well-rounded career in an executive search firm and an in-house talent acquisition position. He has always aspired to set up his own agency, and this experience was a stepping stone that gave him a complete perspective on what a successful search firm should look like.   Paul gave his insights and compared the approach from an in-house to an agency perspective. He emphasized the value of building and nurturing relationships on the in-house side while investing heavily in business development on the other. From an in-house perspective, I also wanted to know the primary considerations when hiring a third-party recruiter. Who are the most successful ones? What companies really did poorly? Paul gave his answer:    “I would say the biggest thing is the ones who took the time to be personalized, to make a very human approach and connection, and who were very empathetic; those were the ones that really stood out. It's amazing how transparent people's approaches are and how easy it is to tell when there's an email sequencing campaign going on, with an email coming out to you every kind of two or three … So it is very easy to tell kind of what's being automated, what's actual human touch and who are people that want to be in it for the long run versus, hey, I've got my monthly targets to hear.”   Two Areas of Focus to Win Multi-Hire Team Build Projects    A key topic Paul and I discussed is his success in doing multi-hire team-build projects. The main takeaway is this: multi-hire team build results from placing a key executive. By ensuring that great relationships are built and the best experience for the executive is provided, a potential opportunity to then build out the team underneath them will likely happen.   This idea came about based on Paul's previous in-house experience. “I'd say it kind of goes back to lessons learned when I went in-house and was building those relationships and understanding the big picture behind those hires and what those companies were trying to achieve. And that, combined with the private equity space, really kind of mesh well together.”   Paul shared two main areas of focus to be successful in this approach:   Communication - “It's certainly a communication game. In multi-hire campaigns, there are usually multiple hiring managers. So you got to figure out each individual style of communication, building relationships with those people.” Project Management - making sure you're implementing your standard procedures in terms of market mapping, talent pipelining, and going through your own internal processes.   Paul also shared the most common challenges you will experience in multi-hire team-build projects and the steps they took to mitigate them.   MPC Strategy Resulting to a $450k Fee   An achievement Paul shared with me is how he was able to make a placement with a $450k fee. He made a placement using the MPC (Most Placeable Candidate) marketing approach. Many recruiters will find this part of our conversation relatable because although this may be familiar to many recruiters, some will tell you that you can't apply MPC marketing to executive recruitment.    We discussed Paul's mindset on this strategy, and he shared how he executes it. We discussed proactive candidate representation and effective KPIs, such as making 5 introductions daily.  We also agreed on this critical point: the goal is not to place the candidate. The goal is primarily to get your foot in the door to start a conversation, demonstrate the caliber of your network and the people you represent, and come to them with interesting ideas that could bring value to their business.   Our Sponsor   This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro    i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

In this episode, Donald speaks with Kevin, the Chief Technology Officer of the Americas at Ciena. They discuss the complexities and challenges of B2B enterprise selling.  Kevin shares insights into the evolving landscape of enterprise deals, emphasizing the importance of understanding the "why" behind a product or service offering. The conversation highlights the need for effective communication and providing memorable examples to decision-making committees, ultimately leading to successful outcomes. The Increasing Complexity of B2B Enterprise Selling As technology advances, B2B enterprise selling has become more complex and confusing.  The integration of tools like AI adds layers of complexity to the selling process.  It is crucial to adhere to the basics and understand the fundamentals of enterprise selling. The Role of Kevin as the Chief Technology Officer of the Americas Kevin leads a technical team of sales engineers and sales specialists at Sienna. The team's primary objective is to assist business customers in making the right purchasing decisions. Challenges in Enterprise-level and Complex Deals  In the past, individual decision-makers played a key role in the purchasing process. However, in today's enterprise deals, decision-making power rests with a complex council of decision-makers. Sales professionals must equip their customers with the necessary skills and tools to present the value proposition to the entire decision-making council effectively. Shifting Focus from the "What" to the "Why" -Previously, the sales pitch predominantly focused on describing the technical aspects of the product (the "what"). With the involvement of decision-making committees, it has become crucial to emphasize the "why" behind the product/service offering. Sales teams need to explain the importance of the proposed solution, its impact on the customer's business, and provide real-life examples to support their claims. This shift towards the "why" ensures a comprehensive understanding of the value proposition and makes it more memorable. Enhancing Memorability and Communication It is insufficient to rely solely on PowerPoint presentations or technical demonstrations to convey the value proposition. The sales team should strive to provide the customer with simple, memorable, and repeatable examples. These examples enable the customer to share their enthusiasm and effectively communicate the value proposition to their peers within the decision-making committee. B2B enterprise selling has become increasingly complex, necessitating a shift in sales strategies. Understanding the "why" behind a product or service offering and effectively communicating this value proposition to decision-making committees is crucial for success.  Kevin emphasizes the importance of providing memorable examples and enabling customers to become effective ambassadors for the proposed solution. By focusing on the "why," sales teams can establish a deeper connection with customers and increase the chances of winning complex enterprise deals. "When you go to these decision-making committees, there's always others on the committee, but not necessarily in the room with you that are very interested in the why." - Kevin Sheehan Resources Ciena Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.

This week, I will be discussing the skill sets that I believe are necessary to become a next-generation emergency manager. These skills range from being thrifty with money to learning how to map using drones, to effectively communicating with strangers and building lasting relationships. These are the skills that have not only helped me throughout my career but have also proven to be valuable during unexpected situations.Top 10 Emergency Management Skills10: Networking: If you can't make friends, or at least sustain relationships, you're probably not going to succeed in this field.9: Be an entrepreneur - You'll never have enough money to do what you need to do. Be passionate about the work and find ways to make it happen. Adapt, overcome, excel on the cheap.8: Expertise - You can't be bad at this job. There is no "good enough" when it comes to education, training, and experience. Have a broad range of expertise.7: Wellness Minded - Taking care of yourself is the only way you can take care of others. Advocate for time off, 8-hour shifts, stress management, mental health support, exercise, healthy eating, and sleep. Just say no to EOC drugs, caffeine, and nicotine.6: Critical Thinking - Shed your ego and bias. Don't commit to bad strategies and tactics because your ego is too invested. Pause, breathe, and assess the data. Avoid the sunk cost fallacy.5: Data visualization - Communicating complex data simply is an art and a necessarily skill. How you communicate data can make the difference in getting grants, managing incidents, and keeping everyone informed. 4: Get good at Tech - This is a technical job. Don't be a Luddite. Radios are more complicated. Software has more capabilities. Alert and warning systems are complex. GIS, drones, mapping, and cybersecurity are all important.3: Planning - Plan to plan. Plans can help you set goals, navigate the unknown, build foundations, and measure success.2: Be innovative and creative - On and off the job, you'll need to innovate. Disasters don't follow formulas. Taking time to do something creative on your own can help fire up the synapses you'll need in an emergency. Draw, paint, build, read, write, think. If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. 1: Communication - It's 90% of the job. You need to be able to talk to a lot of people in different settings and through different mediums.Bonus: Be good at a lot of things. Mission creep is part of the job. Until enough help arrives, you may be doing everything.

If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.2)COMMUNICATION- It is SO important to talk with your kids. They don't need to know everything BUT talk with them about all the things they want to talk about.

Emily Smith owns three sports podiatry businesses in Sydney, Australia. In this episode, she explains her passion for sports podiatry, why she bought into these businesses and how hard work grew them over three years.  Emily played hockey at quite a high level. While playing, she suffered from ongoing shin splints, which were alleviated with prescription orthotics, which sparked her interest in podiatry.   Topics we discussed: TEAM CULTURE: Never employ out of desperation; it's a sure-fire way to failure. Your team must fit your culture. When Emily interviews a potential new team member, only one out of ten questions is clinical; the rest are used to determine if they will be a good fit.  You can always get them back to assess their clinical skills. What it is like to be part of a larger sports team. Building your reputation takes time.  Intrinsic Fulfilment The benefits of simplifying the examination process.  COMMUNICATION: It is essential to be able to communicate your findings with your patients.  The more they understand, the better they will follow your instructions.  Fancy gadgets and diagrams can often confuse your patients. Keep your explanations simple.  The importance of experimentation and unravelling what you find.  NICHING: Niche down on what you are good at and interested in, and then refer the rest to others.  Focus on your core skills, improve upon them and maintain your message.  You will lose your message if you dilute your skillset.   Final Tip: Be willing to experiment. What we got taught doesn't apply clinically 100% of the time, and trying to put someone in a box is never a good plan; you need to be more flexible.  You can connect with Emily at emily@emilybraidwood.com, and you can find her business locations at sportspodiatrists.com.au.  Business Coaching & Mentoring Have you decided to grow your podiatry business in 2022? If you have, let's talk.

Text LEARNERS to 44222 for more... Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12  https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Ryan Petersen is the CEO and Founder of Flexport. Prior to starting Flexport to fix the user experience in global trade, Ryan was co-founder and CEO of ImportGenius.com, a data-as-a-service business for global shipping. Flexport hit a $3.2 Billion valuation after $1 billion investment led by SoftBank. Notes: Excellence = Curiosity - "It's a more fun way to live." Learners Appreciative Have fun "It doesn't have to be boring." The importance of writing as a leader: "I write a lot of essays. Some are published. Some aren't." Communication: "It's a huge part of the job of a leader." For investor updates... "It's good practice." Try to use humor, learn something new, don't be boring, get people "pumped up" Raising money from investors: "It's like your love life. You have to earn it. There are no shortcuts. You need to have a business that doesn't need them." "We built a track record over the 15 years prior to raising money." Masayoshi Son is the CEO of Softbank. He is a Japanese billionaire technology entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist. Ryan met with him and earned a $1 Billion investment... Making Flexport worth $3.2 Billion. Flexport became the fastest growing company in Silicon Valley. Ryan wrote an essay about raising a lot of money so that they could ride out a "100 year storm." How was he able to raise so much? "Don't do an auction. I said, 'I'm only talking to you.' Create a win-win. See the world through their eyes." Masa had written a 300 year vision. Ryan said, "The audacity to have a 300 year vision, it just resonated with me." "One of our core values is to play the long game." Flexport enables all parties to move large product around the world. It was born out of Ryan discovering the pain of shipping. There is a lack of technology with freight forwarders. There was no culture of customer satisfaction. There was high friction - "We counted 984 steps to get a product shipped." Paul Graham, one of the greatest investors of all time and founder of Y-Combinator said this about Ryan Petersen: Ryan is what I call an armor-piercing shell: a founder who keeps going through obstacles that would make other people give up. But he's not just determined. He sees things other people don't see. The freight business is both huge and very backward, and yet who of all the thousands of people starting startups noticed? Ryan Petersen." By 2016, Flexport was serving 700 clients across 64 countries. Tech Crunch described it as the unsexiest trillion-dollar startup. Flexport has grown to 1,800 employees across 14 offices and 6 warehouses, and 10,000 clients. His goal: "Drive velocity: You need speed in the right direction. Velocity is the key to success.

Dr Don Pelto is a podiatrist in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, and he has developed a unique way of educating his patients with well thought out treatment presentations.  He loves practice management, marketing and being a podiatrist. He has a video interview series called Podiatry Practice Mastery, where he interviews other professionals about their insights and experience in practice and business.  On this episode we discuss: The importance of finding what you like doing in podiatry and doing more of it. Taking responsibility for our actions and learning from it.  Patient presentations and how they evolved and expanded by simply using Google Slides.  Using checklists and frameworks.  Patient education follow-up using videos, books and other tools.  Tool - Patient Education Genius Creating different pathways of communication.  What is Mastery? It's a constant and never-ending improvement. It’s not getting to a singular place; it’s a process that you’re always on. Refining Your Expertise There are many experts in podiatry, but what if you are also an expert at Youtube, and then in podcasting as well. You are then a special expert within a particular niche.  "Patient presentations take away prejudgment and everyone, therefore, gets the same information".  Communication It's important to explain to every patient: What they have Why they have it What it will cost in both time and money And then explain what treatments you would suggest for their specific case.  Question Yourself At the end of each day, look at your patient list and ask yourself these questions: What worked well What didn’t work so well What would I do differently, and what’s the plan.  When you say I, it means your taking responsibility for the outcome and not blaming others.  Increased Frequency The more frequently you see a patient, the more chance you have of them following your instructions.  Patients take more action when they are being tracked more closely, so you need to track your patients' progress.  To get patients to take action, you may need to offer them some form of incentives. What the motivation may be is yet to be determined.  Final Tip Always be learning.  If you're interested in watching the video of this particular episode, you can visit my YOUTUBE Channel, Tyson Franklin.   If you have any questions about this episode, please send me an email at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can contact Don Pelto at Podiatry Practice Mastery.   My Next Event - Podiatry Marketing Workshop 2021  Over the past thirty-plus years, I have opened, sold, relocate and taken over more than 20 podiatry businesses, so when it comes to marketing a podiatry business successfully, I know what works, and what's a waste of time and money.

She is a strategic marketing leader with a focus on increasing revenue generation, creating customer journey, building brand, and great go-to-market strategies. Here she sheds light on one of the most discussed topics of the late and one of the teething issues businesses are facing. That is having a sales-focused marketing team that can increase the bottom-line of the company. She explains how an organization can develop a robust revenue-focused marketing engine. She also speaks about what COVID19 changed for the marketing and sales department. The organizations have to understand the value and the experience they are willing to deliver at the various stages of the customer lifecycle. Now due to the pandemic, most of the interactions have turned towards virtual systems. Marketing and sales teams dependent on the legacy systems will need to upskill themselves and move towards technologies like VR and video streaming. What affects a revenue Engine? Before jumping into the models, tips and others understand that 10 factors affect any organization in their revenue generation engine. They are: Strategic Orientation: It is the firm's focus in the strategic direction. It focuses on how they are going to implement the strategy and maintain the balance between long and short-term business strategies. Customer: How focused is your organization on customer-centricity? Keep your eye on your ICP. People and skills: Your employee and their craft aligned to the task. Job Design: Align the right people to the right job, so whatever you plan to execute gets executed timely and correctly. Budgeting: It contributes to overall revenue goals more focused on ROI. Culture: It's about how your customers and employee feel about your organization and how they feel about the organization. Process: It focuses on how easy was it to follow the methods implemented, does it align with company goals, and does it improve efficiency. Technology: It shows the tech stack implemented by the company and how it aids in achieving the goals. Communication: It refers to the messages both direct and subliminal going across the organization to all the stakeholders. Analytics and reporting; It is the different tracking systems implemented to fine-tune the process and perform better.

Communication: It's an art form. We are all learning about how to communicate. What works... What doesn't... When our sharing is most effective... How the simplest change - even 1 word - can shift the meaning of a conversation or reaction. As coaches, the emphasis we put on how we communicate is key.

Romance, Relationships, and Communication - It’s More than words…. We often hear that communication is important in order to have a good healthy relationship. We hear it, but it’s also the reason many relationships end or never get started. We are expected to know exactly what our partner wants and meet their heart's desire.  We’re often giving our partners what we want, not what they want. We hold back from saying the things we want to say, asking questions we want to ask, or experiencing things in life we dream of.  We can easily become bored and start looking in other directions for what we think we need.   If we learned the language of romance and relationships, we can change the game and have a fun, strong, healthy and lasting relationship.  Part of this involves being comfortable with your own mind, body, and soul. Joining us this week to discuss how is a Let’s Coach favorite, Sexual Health Educator and Pure Romance Consultant, Mrs. Sheila Tempchin. Also joining us to offer the male perspective is the prior co-host of Let’s Coach, Mark Thorn. Tune in and learn how communication is key to creating a romantic, long-lasting relationship.

What happens to a marriage when a newborn enters the picture?  While there is nothing better than welcoming a new baby into the world, for many couples, it is a major life transition. Unfortunately, a new baby can also mean the end of a marriage for some.  In this episode of Divorce Exposed, I’m talking with Liz Kaufmann who works with couples when they bring home the new born, addressing issues that can ultimately save a marriage.  I met Liz through a speaking program that I am a part of and knew right away that I wanted her to be part of the Divorce Exposed podcast and share her wisdom.  I truly believe what she is doing adds so much value to a couple and we talk about some of the issues that people don’t even think about when they have children.  If you are aware of these issues and you can work through them, you can survive the infant stage in your marriage with a lot less tension and create the life you want with your family rather than hitting your head against the wall not understanding what is happening. Unfortunately there is a lot of background noise in this episode because we recorded in a busy Starbucks on a Saturday morning in SOHO.  While the noise might be distracting, the content and the conversation are definitely worth listening to. Especially for those that have a new baby in the house or someone expecting.  In this episode we talk about Allowing yourself time to adjust to parenting Asking questions Leaning on your support system Getting sleep Communication It’s important thing for you to remember is that I am not an attorney, a therapist of a financial advisor. If you are going through difficult times and feel you need help, please reach out to someone, either a friend, family member or a professional and get support. I’ve listed some resources on the resources page of the website and encourage you to check there or reach out to your friends and family for referrals. Your life matters and getting help is the best thing you can do for yourself. My guest today is a social worker and brings with her the credentials to be considered a professional.  While her focus is working with new parents, if you have an issue and you can’t find help, I’m sure she would be glad to provide you with the necessary resources to point you in the right direction. Remember, my goal is to provide you with insights for staying married and inspiration to survive divorce. The topic in this episode is important for someone who is expecting or has a new baby at home and doesn’t feel parenting is going as expected.
