The Business of Meetings – Episode - 156: How Luxury Brands Talk To Their Clients with Neen James   We are delighted to be speaking with Neen James today! Neen has been working in various industries across the world. She is the author of Attention Pays and the President and CEO of Neen James, Incorporated. She is with us today to share her journey and discuss the fascinating survey she did recently on luxury brands, how people look at luxury, and the best way to speak with clients dealing with luxury brands.  We hope you enjoy listening to today's inspiring and informative conversation with Neen James! Bio: Neen James is the author of nine books including Folding Time™ and her most recent, Attention PaysTM. She was named one of the top 30 Leadership Speakers by Global Guru several years in a row because of her work with companies like Viacom, Comcast, Cisco, Virgin, Johnson & Johnson, and the FBI, among others. Neen is a leadership expert who delivers high-energy keynotes that challenge audiences to prioritize focus in their work and lives. Understanding that attention and productivity can only come after clarifying what matters most, audiences leave Neen's keynotes with practical strategies they can then apply personally and professionally to get them where they want to be. Compelling in delivering presentations, Neen is adaptive and responsive to the unique needs of live, virtual, and hybrid experiences. Meeting planners love working with her – they often describe Neen as the energizer bunny for their events. With a strong background in learning and development and managing large teams at various corporations, Neen is the perfect fit for organizations that want systems thinking-based, implementable strategies. After working with Neen, their employees are able to create space and allow the freedom to avoid distractions, stop interruptions, prioritize daily objectives, and say ‘no' to requests that steal time and focus from real goals and priorities. Neen earned her MBA from Southern Cross University and the Certified Speaking Professional designation from National Speakers Association. She has received numerous awards as a professional speaker and is a partner in the international education company Thought Leaders Global. Oh, did we mention that Neen is Australian? Why does that matter? Well, it means that she's a bit mischievous, pretty witty, and a little cheeky. She also considers herself an unofficial champagne taste tester ... and is obsessed with her Peloton bike... a bike that goes nowhere! Neen's journey Neen grew up in corporate business, in Australia. She worked in retail banking, telecommunications, and the oil industry. As an executive strategist, she became obsessed with finding out how to get people to pay attention to what really matters. Someone once nudged her to become a speaker. She set up a company and found her first retainer client immediately. Her company has grown since then, she relocated to the United States, wrote some books, and did some research studies. Leaving corporate Australia There were various things that prompted Neen to leave corporate Australia. She was working in the prepaid cellphone industry and did some fun projects there, including launching Virgin® in Australia. She became known as someone who got things done and people kept on asking her to speak at conferences. So, she decided to do something for herself. She managed to convince the board that the best strategy was to re-engineer the business, centralize the roles, and let many people go, herself included. Corporate life Neen loved corporate life, and she still loves corporate clients! Being a corporate girl was a great gift for her because she now does a lot of corporate work, particularly with CEOs and their teams. Referrals An entrepreneur was born…Neen built her company from scratch! All of her business opportunities have come from referrals from people in her audience or her network.  Changing According to Neen, anyone thinking of making a change needs to be courageous, believe in yourself, know what you're good at, and look for what will truly light you up! The difference between Aussies and Americans Because Neen enjoyed living in the US so much, she became a citizen. She believes one difference between Australians and Americans is that Australians work hard and play hard. Americans work hard. Using your out-of-office and voicemail Use your out-of-office and voicemail as ways for people to experience you. It can be a fun way to extend your personal brand, provide information for people sending you notes, and manage people's expectations.  What Need discovered through her survey on luxury brands Thoughts create feelings. Neen wanted to find out what people think about luxury rather than how they feel about it. The research firm that did her survey interviewed hundreds of leaders and found that there are four different luxury mindsets (or archetypes). Through the survey, they were able to discover how each of those mindsets makes decisions, how they define luxury, what's important to them, and who influences their decisions. Knowing that can help brands assess the mindsets with which they want to work with, and then align their messages to attract those mindsets. The four luxury mindsets/archetypes: Reluctant and removed – Luxury is hard  Pro-prioritizer – Luxury is power Confident and content – They've got this The luxury-lover – They think they are worth it Helping companies speak luxury language Companies should speak the luxury language of the luxury mindset they want to attract. Neen helps them do that. Various implications There are many different implications for luxury brands in research, and Neen loves sharing them with the audiences she works with! Time Neen believes time can only be managed if things will happen whether we like it or not. (She talks about that in her book, Folding Time.) However, you can manage your attention. (Neen talks about how to be more intentional with your attention in her book, Attention Pays.) Is luxury recession-proof? Whether or not a recession occurs, some people will continue having the luxury lifestyle they have always enjoyed. So she does not foresee a crisis for luxury brands. However, she does see luxury brands having to market differently and align their messages to appeal to luxury mindsets. Inter-generational travel Neen has noticed a trend of inter-generational travel, where one family member pays for the whole family to take a luxury cruise together. How Neen helps her clients When Neen consults with her clients, she looks at how they assess the mindset of the person they want to attract and how they align their messages to ensure everything is consistent with that mindest. She also helps her clients build advocates for their brands. Neen's advice Whether you are in the luxury space or not, think about the kind of people you want to work with, the companies and brands with which you would like to be aligned, and the actions you intend to take to support those companies or brands. Tiny changes By implementing some tiny changes, it's easy for anyone to transform an ordinary, everyday experience into a luxury one!

Neen James is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots podcast. She first joined us back on episode 258 of the show, and talked openly about her journey from corporate Australia to the United States and then entrepreneurial success. With a strong background in learning and development and managing large teams at various corporations, she was and is the perfect fit for organizations wanting to learn implementable strategies to save time, increase focus and help their people get more done. Not the kind of stuff that you might have seen time and time again, when the work management takes as long as doing the job in the first place. But practical stuff that can make a huge difference. How The Dots Joined Up For Neen Neen James is the author of eight business books including “Folding Time, Secrets of Super-Productivity, Strategic Networking and Network or Perish” to name just a few. And now it seems that she is bringing everything together and really tackling the crux of productivity issues - lack of focus. She challenge audiences and clients to prioritize focusing on what matters most in their work and lives. Which is the perfect place to start today's show….. So with more and more interruptions, beeps, notifications and other distractions entering our lives everyday is there a way to break the circle and focus on what matters most? And of course when she is talking to someone and sneaks a quick glance at her phone, does she “aahh you are as bad as the rest of us!!” Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Neen James.

In today's episode, we're talking about the power of attention and focus. And the best person for that? Attention expert, Neen James! We talk about what true focus and attention is and how to use systems to elevate yourself out of the minutia. Let's face it - building a business is hard. Especially when we don't have giant teams to do all the work for us. If you're not careful, attention will slip and so will your profits. So let's not have that happen, huh? Listen to the episode to learn how to build a distraction-free business.

Attention is one of the fundamental goals of digital marketing. Having a clear strategy for capturing and holding attention in order that you can communicate your value and build relationships with the people who need what you provide is so important, but also surprisingly hard. Many people resort to silly tactics to get attention, but when someone naturally captures your attention online and rapidly connects with you, it's very impressive. This week my guest is Neen James, author of Attention Pays, How to Drive Profitability, Productivity, and Accountability, and she's going to walk me through the Attention Matrix, and so much more.

Thanks for joining us for today’s panel on Obstacle Opportunities. I have been fortunate to chat with over 150 remarkable people on my Intentional Performers Podcast. These people have overcome adversity, thought deeply about leadership, and have setup intentional lives for themselves to perform at their best. The coronavirus has created challenges for so many throughout the world and it is my hope that these panel discussions will help those in need. While everyone on the panel has tremendous expertise, I also want to note that what we are going through is truly unprecedented and there may be questions that the panelists don’t have the answer to. That’s ok. This isn’t designed to give you the answer to every question you have, instead it’s designed to have you think deeply about how you can handle this challenging time. Thanks to my wonderful panelists! Bios below. Josh Basile, a C4-5 quadriplegic, lives in Maryland and is a trial attorney working in Washington, DC.

PMI Talent Triangle: Leadership Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! Today, I am just incredibly honored and grateful to be able to share this episode with you. I have Neen James, one of my personal heroes, I met Neen through my graduate program in public speaking called Heroic Public Speaking. It is just a game-changer and a life-changer for me, and I was privileged to be able to learn a lot about Neen and read her books, Folding Time and Attention Pays. I knew immediately that there was a lot that we as PMO leaders could really learn from how we make sure that we're paying attention and are getting attention for our PMO. In addition to being just a fabulous rockstar in my life, and just a game changer for me, she's been changing the lives of people for a very long time, has a really long background in project management specifically, which I think is super cool. But she's also been named one of the top 30 leadership speakers by Global Guru several years in a row because of her work with companies like Viacom, Comcast, and Abbott Pharmaceuticals, among so many others. You will definitely hear Neen's boundless energy and quick-witted personality as she offers powerful strategies for paying attention to what matters so you can get more done and create more significant moments at work and at home, which is so incredibly important. Laura Barnard: I asked if Neen would be willing to share with us some secrets, some best practices, to help us as PMO leaders really get the attention that we need in our PMOs and for our PMOs and for the work we're doing. And as you all know, I am a huge believer that we should not be selling the PMO. The goal is not to sell the PMO, because if you're doing it right, they are coming to you and begging for your help in achieving their goals. So, we really need to figure out, how do we do that? How do we get the attention we need for our PMO, from our sponsors, from our stakeholders, and instead of having people run the other direction when they see the PMO coming, they're chasing us down, begging for our support. Neen, as we dive in today, is there anything else you'd like to share with the audience about you and your background and experience? Learn the best-kept secrets to creating a PMO that drives IMPACT.  Join us for the PMO IMPACT Summit..fusion-button.button-263 {border-radius:2px;}Register for FreeNeen James: I grew up in corporate business in Australia. I worked in retail, banking, telecommunications, and the oil industry. And let me tell you, there's not a lot of chicks in oil. And when I was really doing the most project management was when I was in oil and I had an all-male team. I love working with men, and when I was in banking, I had an all-male branch.  I think attention, these days, Laura, gets a bad rap. We go, "Oh, she just wants attention." Social media has changed that. But the truth remains that attention, is about connection.  As PMOs, we need to be able to connect with the people we serve in order for us to advance the projects that we are leading, the team that we're developing, the stakeholders that we're serving. I want people to look at attention differently. You see, I believe it is the intention that makes attention valuable. And what I learned especially early in my career is that I had to have the right intention behind my desire for attention. One particular strategy that I developed early in my career that I encourage every PMO to consider is you need to be your own publicist. Here's what I mean by that. Now, we know what a publicist does. Often we hear about them in the press, when someone does something wrong. A celebrity does something really bad and then in steps their publicist. But you can use publicity in a really powerful way.  I believed early in my career that I had to be my own publicist. The way that that turned up was every Friday I would send my boss five bullet points.

On this episode of the CEOnly Podcast, Michelle Mason, FASAE, CAE, interviews Neen James, a renowned speaker and the author of the top selling leadership books Folding Time and Attention Pays.

How intriguing would it be to find out that the 'tallest voice' in the room is coming from the lady who's 4ft10inches or as she likes to put it: 4ft 10.5inches?  Meet Neen James.  She is a U.S acclaimed speaker and writer of Australian decent. Her books; ‘Folding Time™' and ‘Attention Pays™' are among the best sellers available at bookstores around the world.  Over the past two decades, Neen has been advising different companies in the world including Viacom, Comcast, Paramount Pictures, and even the FBI, on how to improve their strategic planning, communication, and leadership development.  When she is not speaking on stage, you might find her on the back of a Harley Davidson (yeah, the back is just for her!).  What to do to become a great speaker like Neen Neen says it all starts by having a single image on and off the stage because your audience isn’t only those in the room when you speak. It is about coming across as the same fantastic person on the street or at other informal engagements.  For Neen, being a great speaker is not so much about what you say on stage but who you are on and off the stage.  “It’s not just about putting your most fabulous suit on and going on stage; it’s about all the interactions you have with your clients and your audience,” Neen says. And oh, she says it doesn’t matter whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, you can do what she does.  “My belief is that introverts and extroverts can do what I do.”  She says while extroverts recover with people, introverts recover alone and regardless can become great speakers. Indeed Neen should know. She’s been researching communication strategies. Neen says “What I’ve learned in my attention research is that there are so many different ways to pay attention and we have to be able to appeal to multiple ways.” Early Career Lessons When Neen started speaking, she had a mentor in Matt Church. He later became her business partner and friend. Watching him as an aspiring speaker helped immensely in her development. “The things we talk about need to be memorable, repeatable and retweetable,” she says. Neen recalls trying to get Matt Church to mentor her for about six months, during which time he regularly told her that she wasn’t ready. “He helped me think differently, and also helped me understand the good, the bad and sometimes ugly days of the profession that I was choosing,” Neen says. Thoughts on Leadership You could be quite surprised that Neen doesn’t think there’s so much to being a leader. In fact she believes that leadership is rather intuitive.  “Leadership is sometimes whatever drives you crazy in the world, it is also a good indicator of what you call leadership,” Neen reflects. “When you reflect on the things that make you crazy in the world or you reflect on the lessons you’ve been learning over and over again, it may point you to your view of leadership.” Idea Shaping Neen has a habit of pulling out members of the audience and instantly helping them arrive at quick realizations about themselves. She calls this Idea shaping. “Idea shaping is the ability to articulate your ideas, your intellectual property in a visual model” Neen says. More information on this concept is detailed on her website www.neenjames.com.  Neen is so brilliant that while you speak to her about what you plan to do, she just naturally acts out a bit of idea shaping on those plans. Time and again she has amazed her audiences using this concept.   Resources Neen James can be found on all social media pretty easy, by her names only. Her website is www.neenjames.com 

Don’t miss this leadership interview with Neen James, @neenjames. Neen is the author of Folding Time™ and her latest book Attention Pays™ is available at bookstores around the world. Over the past two decades Neen has been advising some of the coolest companies in the world, including Viacom, Comcast, Paramount Pictures, and even the FBI, on how to improve their strategic planning, communication, and leadership development. When she is not speaking on stage, you might find her on the back of a Harley Davidson. Originally from Sydney Australia, now a proud new US citizen, Neen is a speaker, an author, and an insanely slow runner (she told us to reveal that for folks), we were incredibly grateful for the time we were able to spend with Neen to produce this interview. Her leadership podcast interview with TheSchoolHouse302 was fun, energetic, and practical. Check it out. You have to hear her incredible insight on how we can prioritize our priorities and how 15 minutes a day can truly make all the difference in the world. She talks about the common mistakes that we tend to make regarding time management, and she reminds us that it’s our attention that we manage, not our time. The one person she mentions that we could all benefit from following is her dear friend and mentor, Matt Church. He is the founder of Thought Leader Global with a true desire to add value for leaders around the world. He offers amazing free resources to those interested in leading more effectively. She tells us that the one thing that adds perspective, something we should all do regularly, is quite surprisingly very simple--put others first. If you want to be more effective as a leader, truly pay attention to someone you care about. Neen indicated the one thing she would love to be is funnier. She mentions good friends who “think funny” and how that adds a unique dynamic to their skill set and ability to lead effectively. Without mincing any words, she lets us know that energy is everything and that we can literally grow our energy when we decide to do so. Don’t miss what she says about it. Lastly, Neen opens up about her early beliefs and ideas regarding herself. She discusses a time when she first started speaking professionally to groups of leaders and how her mindset limited her. She believed, then, that she had to be “super polished” and perfect. She’s come to realize that what she actually needed was to be her own version of perfect, which she calls, “fun and fabulous.” We couldn’t agree more. Neen’s interview is filled with practical advice for leaders, and really connects with our purpose of controlling our attention to focus on what matters most. She definitely provides great advice for how to get to simple to lead better and grow faster. Be sure to get your copy of Attention Pays: How to Drive Profitability, Productivity, and Accountability, and let us know what you think. Please follow, like, and comment. Use #onethingseries and #SH302 so that we can find you. Joe & T.J.

I'm your host, Mike Domitrz from MikeSpeaks.com, where we help organizations of all sizes, educational institutions, and the US military create a culture of respect. And respect is exactly what we discussed on this show, so let's get started. Mike:                       In this episode we have the amazing, incredible Neen James who's also a friend of mine. I'm going to give you a little background on Neen, so that you know as you're listening to her or if you're watching this on YouTube, you're watching the actual video. She's the author of Folding Time and her latest book, Attention Pays, which we're going to be talking about today. They're both available in bookstores around the world. Mike:                       And for over two decades, Neen has been advising some of the coolest companies in the world, including Viacom, Comcast, Paramount pictures, and even the FBI on how to improve their strategic planning, communication and leadership development. When she's not speaking, you might find on the back of a Harley, you may also find her running. She's originally from Sydney, Australia. Now a proud US citizen. We're going to welcome speaker, and she says, insanely slow runner, but I think she's a tough critic on herself. Neen James, thank you, Neen for joining us. Neen:                      G'day, Mike. What a treat to get to serve your listeners. When you say things like two decades of working with clients makes me feel ancient, but if people are listening to this, they probably think I sound like I'm five. I promise I'm significantly older than that. Mike:                       Well, you're still young, that's for sure. Well, I'm thrilled to have you on. You talk all about paying attention. So, let's start there, Neen. What does that mean? Your book is Attention Pays. So if you could provide a little background on what attention means. Neen:                      To me, attention is really three things. Let's look at it in three ways, maybe. There's three ways we pay attention in the world personally, which is really about who deserves our attention. So that's about being thoughtful and respect is such a big part of that. The second way is professionally, which is about what really deserves your attention and that's being productive. And the third way is how are we paying attention in the world, which is really about being responsible. So it's personally, professionally and globally. Neen:                      That's the three ways I believe we pay attention in the world, and the ones that I think would probably be most interesting to your listeners today is personally and professionally. Who deserves your attention and what deserves your attention, because that way you show up in the world has a ripple effect across the planet. Mike:                       Alright, so let's dive in there. And I think a lot of our listeners are activists also, so even globally could be an interesting conversation to go there. So let's talk about personally, how does, how does it show up personally and how does respect play a role in that journey? Neen:                      Well, think about how disrespected we feel when someone's on their cell phone and they're not paying attention to us. Imagine how disrespected people feel when they're in a conversation with someone and you're looking beyond their shoulder for someone more interesting to speak to. Neen:                      So I think respect is vital. I learned this lesson from my five year old friend. Donovan. He and I were in this very heated debate about like who is cooler was it Superman or Batman? Which is obviously very important when you're five. And at one point he got so frustrated with me, because he didn't think I was listening to him and he jumped into my lap. He grabbed my face with these tiny little hands and he said, "Neen, listen with your eyes." Neen:                      And I think the greatest way to show respect to someone is to look them in the eye. The gift of our attention is such a beautiful sign of respect. And so I think when it comes to personally paying attention, the first and easiest thing that all of us can do that costs absolutely no money is to look up, is to look people in the eye, look up from our devices to look someone in the eye in a conversation. That's a beautiful sign of respect. And so what I want to encourage our listeners to do is can they listen with their eyes more? Mike:                       I love it. We used to teach that when I was coaching, especially young basketball players, you'd say, "Hey, if I can see your eyes, then I know you're listening. If I can't see your eyes, I might assume you're not and that can feel disrespected." Mike:                       And it just helps them know, oh, look at coach or at whoever it is. Here's the challenge a lot of adults have, particularly people like myself who can have that crazy energy in their brain. How do you help them stay focused on the eyes without going into creepy zone? Right? Neen:                      I love that. Mike:                       So, because, because there's this balance, especially when you're like at a conference and there's people going by and you feel like, well there's somebody going by. I don't want to be rude. So how do you balance that out? Neen:                      You know, this is a skill I had to teach myself, Mike, because I love people. Like if I walk into a room, I assume everyone wants to play with me. And so there's already so many people that I want to see. But what I've had to be able to do is to block out my field of vision, meaning if you and I are in a conversation, I have to stay really focused on you, so I'm not looking at all those other people who you and I know ... We go to this industry conference, you and I and you know that it is like the attention span of like a squirrel because everybody's interrupting and wants to see you. It's like once a year, it's a big love fest, so that's actually one of the hardest places to do this. But there's little things that I've learned, for example, being able to listen in and to actually not try and work out what my question is and here's what I mean by that. Neen:                      So often in a conversation, we're listening to respond instead of listening to listen. And so what I'm trying to teach myself more and more to do is to listen to your question, allow the pause, and then be thoughtful in my response. So instead of thinking, "Oh, I know what to say," or finishing your sentence or interrupting you, I've had to learn very much about to listen to listen, not listen to respond. Neen:                      And I was a constant interrupter and it's still something that I work on because it's something I know about myself. I get so excited I want to contribute to the conversation or I want to give you a solution or I want to answer your question and I really have to shut up. So the best thing to do if you want to be showing respect to shut up, be quiet. Just listen. Neen:                      Now without that being creepy, the other thing that I've had to realize is by being able to be attentive then after the pause is I think, well, what's a really cool way to show them that I am respecting their time? Is it a question? Is it a comment? Is it a nod? Is it a followup? Is it an action I need to take? Neen:                      Sometimes it might even be as simple as saying, "Did I hear you say, is this what you mean?" Or I might say, "Can you tell me more about that?" And so what I'm trying to do is engage in that point in the conversation. What I've also realized, especially at conferences is I need to write things down. I am a person who seems to remember better when I write things down, so just like before our call today, I said to you, "Hey, if you see me look down, I'm writing things down," I'll do the same thing with someone and what I've also learned over the years, especially working with so many mentors that I have, is taking notes is also a sign of respect. Neen:                      And I had a mentor early in my career and he said to me, "One of the things I like about you is you always write things down," and what it was telling him is what he was saying was important for me to want to record. So an easy sign of respect, when you're paying attention, is to write things down. Neen:                      Now when I have worked with large companies on their customer experience and how do they accelerate attention, I will often tell team members, "Tell the client you're writing it down because it's that important," so that way the client feels safe, the client feels respected, the client feels heard. Here's the thing, Mike. Attention? It's all about being seen and it's all about being heard and if we can achieve those things, everyone feels so much more deeply respected. Mike:                       Absolutely, and I think you see this relationship struggle in a lot of spousal relationships that when they're having a disagreement or a conversation that could become a disagreement, they're already counter-arguing before the person's completed the thought, which leads to a horrific argument because then they say, "You didn't hear the end of what I said because you were already not listening." Mike:                       So it's very common that we see that and I always think to myself, when you exercise this attention skill, if I'm really listening, I'm going to think of what's a question which is, I love that you gave some examples of that ... What's a question I can ask based on everything they're sharing with me? So I can't ask that until the end because they could throw a twist at the end and thinking Neen:                      That's right. And think about, you Karen have been married, like forever. Andy and I have been married like, my entire life, pretty much. And so, you know, this year we will celebrate 29 years at the time of recording that we've been married. Now when we were first married, we were married very, very young obviously. And one of the things that we did was we also did this marriage counseling course, not because we were going to become marriage counselors, but what we realized is we were the first to get married amongst all of our young friends, and so we had this responsibility in our church community where people coming to us because they will like starting to get married. And we were kind of first. Neen:                      And so we became marriage counselors. And what was really good about that was this valuable skill of listening, being able to paraphrase and understand if you're really getting to the heart of everything. Neen:                      And I think in relationships, you know, we have some guidelines in our house. They're very simple, but they show respect. For example, my husband and I do a lot of teleconferences. Our clients are often virtual and you know, he travels significantly and so do I. And so we have this guideline that all conversations finish in the garage, meaning if I'm in a teleconference, I will sit in the car and finish the call so that when I walk into the house, if he's home, I can look him in the eye and say hi, right? Neen:                      We also have another guideline that says we don't talk between walls, which means if he's in the kitchen and I'm in the lounge room, we don't shout out requests to each other because that's not very respectful. There's no eye contact involved and you never hear what people are saying. I don't try and talk to him while there's a show on. I wait for a commercial or I asked him to pause or can I have his attention because what I've learned is it's so much more easier if we say to someone, "Hey, I need your attention for a couple moments." Or, "When you have time, can we talk about this?" And so I think in our relationships, whether it's with our little people, with teenagers- PART 1 OF 3 ENDS [00:10:04] Neen:                      And so I think in our relationships, whether it's with our little people, with teenagers, with our parents, or with our partners, being able to ask for their attention and tell them it's important, instead of assuming it's a good time, assuming they're ready to hear your question, and then assuming they have time to answer you. I think we have to ask for permission more, and you're a huge advocate for this with all the work you do with The Date Safe project. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Mike:                       Yes, well, and I've always loved, because you and I have discussed this before, the no between the walls discussion, because I think that's something that so easy to fall into, and we have fallen into it, Karen and I have fallen into it. I remember you the first time you said that, I said, "That's brilliant." Because I'll often be feeling like that, like I don't want to talk across the room, or I don't even want to text while you're driving home. I want you to talk to me when you drive home. I'm on the road enough. I have enough text conversations. Neen:                      Right. Mike:                       I want to have person to person conversation. It means a lot more to me. So I love that. I think that's a great example. And I love that you talk about the fact that being seen and being heard are so important to paying attention. We always talk about, in the respect world, same with when we talk with corporations and organizations about respect, is this idea of also feeling that they care, right. Because I can listen to you, give you full attention, but that doesn't mean I'm actually caring about what you say. Neen:                      That's true. Mike:                       I can play the role of paying attention- Neen:                      That's true. Mike:                       ... without caring. Caring forces me to think about your feelings, what you're going through, and to engage with that. Would you agree with that, or ... ? Neen:                      I would. Last night, I was watching the movie Ladybird, and it's a movie that's popular at the time of this recording, and there was a conversation between a mother and daughter. They were talking and the conversation was along the lines of paying attention, and she said, "Isn't love and attention the same thing?" Neen:                      I think that when you show someone attention, you are caring, because in our crazy, busy, distracted, insane world that we all choose to live in, and in the crazy town that is my head traffic, and everyone else's, when you add that on top, the very fact that you stop, pause, and pay attention to someone, I think shows a level of care, and I think we can do this more and more every day. Neen:                      For example, I want to challenge listeners, when they order their coffee, can they look their barista in the eye, use the barista's name, and thank them for their coffee instead of just constantly ... people are just living life like this on their devices, right. When you're going to pay for your groceries, or you're paying the toll as you go through, can you look someone in the eye and thank them for the job that they do? When you're in a restaurant or a café, can you thank your server, look them in the eye, find out their name, use their name in the transaction? Neen:                      These are all very simple ways to show that you care. I want it to be intentional attention, not transactional attention, and I think what you're talking about, and playing the role, to use those brilliant words, it's transactional, right. It's just you and I, not even really engaging. You sort of feel obliged to do something, whereas I'd rather people move from transactional to intentional attention. That's what we talk about in Attention Pays. Mike:                       Well, and that's why I wanted to bring it up, because there are people who are tactical and they fail to understand the connection. They think, "Oh, I just need to take those steps and then they'll feel like they're being paid attention to," not understanding, no, you have to actually pay attention. You can't have one without the other. Neen:                      I also think, Mike, that attention as word gets a bad rap. I think social media and some of the celebrities and personalities who are craving and desperate for attention, I think social media has amplified our attention platform. And so attention as a word really gets a bad rap, and yet, attention as a word means to care for or to notice someone. So when you think about it, I want to make attention a really positive word. I want to start this attention revolution where we start to really pay attention, and it's okay to want attention. Neen:                      When you think about this, we crave attention. We learn this skill as a baby, right. We cry, our parents us pick, and then we learn attention. It's that simple. But I think, over the years, attention gets a bad rap, and I want to really change that for people. It's okay to want attention. You don't have to want attention from everyone, just the people who matter to you. Neen:                      I think that's a really important thing, too, is if someone you really care about is not giving you the attention that you need, you have to have the courage to say, "This is really important to me." I think that's also respecting yourself. It's respecting what your needs are and having the courage to articulate those to someone else. That takes all kinds of vulnerability, it takes all kinds of bravery, and I know you talk about that in the work that you do. Mike:                       So if someone's listening right now, thinking, "Well, this sounds great. My partner needs to be better at this. My co-worker needs to be better at this," right. Neen:                      Yeah, it's always my boss or my partner or my kid, never me. Right, right, right. Mike:                       Right, it's like when you read a book, "Oh, I know someone who could use this book." Well, yes, you probably, right. We've all done it- Neen:                      Sure. Mike:                       ... but if somebody is thinking, "Okay, I'm aware that I need to be better at this and I would like my partner to be better at this," or, "I'd like my co-worker or my boss to be better at this," how do you help them ignite the conversation on the importance of attention without talking down, therefore losing attention, or lecturing, therefore losing attention? How do you best case scenario for starting that conversation with someone important to you? Neen:                      What I found with working with so many of my clients, whether they're big executives who run billion dollar companies, or entrepreneurs who are a company of one, what we've realized in the work that I do with them is very much getting super clear on what it is that they might be missing and what it is they need, and having language that's not accusing the other person of not doing what they need, but it's coming from a place of saying, "I really need this." Neen:                      If, for example, it was your partner, maybe one of the things to talk about would be say, "Hey, when you have some time, I'd love to talk to you about something that's been on my mind." Just seed the conversation. Don't say, "We need to talk," because no one wants to hear that, okay. That's a dangerous phrase. The other thing that is also important in a relationship is know when a good time is to talk. So my honey and I have certain things that we do which are really conducive to talking as opposed to other things, right. It could be that you're going on a long drive or a walk, so seed it first. Neen:                      And then say, "Hey, one of the things that I'd really like to talk to you about is how I've been feeling about this. I feel this. It's my feeling, I own it," right. So, "I feel like there's times where I want to have a conversation with you but you're on your cell phone. It would really be important to me if we could stop and have a device free meal." Or, "It would be really important to me if you could look up because there's certain things I need from you." Or, "It would be really helpful to me if ... " And it's all about me, right. This is what I need. It's not about you doing something wrong, it's about me owning why I feel this way. And then coming to some kind of resolution. Neen:                      I think what sometimes happens is things ... let's take technology for example. Technology is not the enemy of our attention, we are, but we make technology to be the bad guy. Not really, it's just we, as adults, are the users. I remember once, my husband and I were on this fabulous date and he was on his cell phone. I was like, "Um, I'm much more interesting than your cell phone." I was joking but I wasn't and he started to laugh. It was just the default position, I think sometimes we go to, is if we are not active in the conversation, or we think we're in a meeting and it doesn't really involve us, we default to our cell phone. We check our email. We check our Facebook status. We go and have a look at what's happening on Instagram, not because the person's not interesting, just because they're not engaging us. We don't feel a responsibility to be part of that. We have to change this behavior. Neen:                      So there's little things. I brought a cell phone with an actual cover, like you've got to actually open it up, so I can't see anything that goes on on my cell phone. I put it in my bag when I drive, so I'm not tempted to have a look at it. In meetings, one of my clients, what they do, Mark, is they have this basket out the front of the conference room. Everyone drops their cell phone in the basket on their way into the conference room so that they can truly engage and brainstorm for whatever meeting that's about. Neen:                      I think if you want to have these conversations with your significant other, with your boss, with your teenager, you've got to work out what's important to you and have the courage to articulate why you need that person to see your point of view, and then come to some sort of mutual understanding of what that might look like. And by the way, I'm a work in progress, just like every one of your listeners. I have not mastered this. I feel like it's a daily thing to choose to pay attention. Mike:                       What brought you to this path? Neen:                      I've always been obsessed with productivity. I was always the girl in corporate who could get things done, and I always the person who was known to be able to look for very creative solutions to everything. My idea of productivity is off the roof, it's crazy town, right. Now, I have fabulous ideas. I don't implement them all, just for the record. So I was always known for someone who could get things done, I was always obsessed with productivity, but what I realized was, you can't manage time, but you can manage your attention. Neen:                      So my body of work is very much all around, how do you truly get more done but in a way that makes more sense? I realized the minutes are going to happen, whether you and I like it or not. We both get 1,440 minutes in a day, but your attention, your attention is something you can control. When I realized it wasn't time I could manage, it was attention, that became the evolution of my work, where I was like, "Huh, as an adult, I can choose who I spend my time with, what I spend my time on, how I spend my time, and then who deserves the attention I have, what deserves the attention that I have, and how am I going to show the world that that's important?" That was the evolution for me, and so it just made sense that attention was the evolution of productivity. Mike:                       I have friends who say, "Well, my priority is working out, but I can only get a workout in a week." That would be an example of not really being honest to what you pay attention to, or what you're giving your attention to- Neen:                      Right. Mike:                       ... because you're saying one ... PART 2 OF 3 ENDS [00:20:04] Mike:                       Pay attention to or what you're giving your attention to because you're saying one thing, but your time does not reflect that. I remember, we have a mutual friend, Sean Stevenson that said, I can tell what your priority is, bar, where you spend your time and your money. Right? The combination of those things. Mike:                       So a lot of times, we're lying to ourselves about what we want to pay attention to, not what we want to, but what we are paying attention to. So the real statement should be I don't give enough attention to working out if I'm only working out once a week. That's an honest statement. I don't give the attention to working out that I wish I was giving or that I need to choose to give. And so that's an important distinction for people. Do you think it's a common one people struggle with? Well, I care deeply about, that's where all my attention is, but it's not, it's over on these other distractions they have. Neen:                      Yeah. And I think to what you're talking about is very much about respecting yourself. Right? So I think one of the things that happens is we articulate what we think people need or want to hear. So if you're with a friend who's like insanely healthy and you're like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to work out like every day but oh, I only have time once a week," because your friend is super healthy and that you're inspired by them. Well that's not really respecting yourself. What I've also learned, especially as I've got significantly older, is that your body has to move. Like you have to put the right things in it. It has to have some sleep. Oh, by the way, you should exercise, right? Whether do you like it or not is kind of irrelevant to respect the body that you've been given for this one planet. God gave you one body, like that's it. Right? Neen:                      No amount of pills or anything is going to fix that. And so I think what we have to do is show respect to ourself, which also means being truthful with ourself. It is about here is how many minutes I'm going to be awake today. A small portion of those can be allocated to working out. I would rather someone work out for 15 minutes, Mike, than zero minutes, and so I don't think it has to be like an hour work and I think that's also the trap that people fall into. They say, "Oh, well if I'm going to go for a run, I need to go run for five miles." Well, that's not necessarily the case. One mile is going to be better than no miles. Right? And so one of the things to think about is instead of looking at what everyone else is doing and comparing yourself and looking at what they're doing, look at what you can manage. Neen:                      And so you and I both spend a significant amount of time in airports, hotels and convention centers, and you and I have both worked out how to stay healthy on the road, whether it's hotel room workouts, gyms, running stairs, whatever it is that's going to help our body move. Neen:                      So I think what happens is people are often lying to themselves and they have to really take pause and say, "You know what? I have this one body on this one planet. It will only take me a few minutes just to pay attention to it," whether it's meditating, yoga, walking. You don't even need a lot of equipment. You can use your own body weight to do things, and so I would encourage listeners to find something that they actually like. I think that's the trick too, Mike. You're doing the workout you don't like, you're not going to give it any attention because it's gonna feel like bleh, but if you find an exercise that actually you look forward to, I think that makes a huge amount of difference because then you will invest your attention. Neen:                      I think attention is ... Like Sean, I can look at someone's calendar and instantly know what's important to them because your time and the way you're investing it tells me a lot about who is important and what is important to you. If you or I have a sick loved one or one of your boys is not well, you'll drop everything in order to make them a priority because that's where your attention goes and so the unfortunate thing is often people wait until they get sick or they lose someone they love before they pay attention to what really matters. I don't want that for your listeners, I want them to start paying attention now to who's important, what's important and how are they going to show their attention in the world? Mike:                       Well, I love that and so going with that, when we talk about where we're going to show our attention in the world, how respect plays into that becomes important. What we respect, you brought up just now, what we're choosing to respect, or am I my respecting my body? Am I respecting what my values are? How has respect played a role in your life? Neen:                      I think for me, respect is multilevel. Having been a corporate girl, I crave respect of my peers. I wanted to be seen as smarty pants. Like I wanted to be known as not just this little, you know, four foot nothing blonde. I wanted to be known for my brain, and so I realized respect was really important to me from my peers, which was through my work product. Neen:                      I also realized respect from my husband is incredibly important. I want him to respect the work I do and the career that I've chosen and who I am in the world. I also realized that respect for me shows up in the way that we take care of the planet. So I'm an Australian as you know, even though I am also an American citizen and growing up in Oz, you just go up recycling like it's just such a small country. We take care of everything. We eat organic, we take care of the things. Neen:                      And you know, where I lived was in this tiny, tiny town. I was born in this beautiful tiny little town and my aunt and uncle had a beautiful farm. And so I think because I'd been exposed to that so young, I feel like we also need to respect the environment that we are blessed to live in as well. And that means taking care of those resources and recycling in its simplest way or whatever it is for people. So respect for me shows up in multiple ways. It shows up in my personal life that I want to be able to show respect to others and be thoughtful. I want their respect for the kind of work that I do and who I am on the planet. But I also think it shows up in the way we take care of the planet. Neen:                      And you know, you don't have to, you know, be a Greenpeace card [inaudible 00:25:24], Tesla-driving person. I mean, I think they're a sexy car, but we can all do something really little. You know, we can recycle our paper. We can not use throwaway water bottles.. There's so many little things we can do to show respect. And I think it just starts with those little ideas everyday of paying attention and being thoughtful as much as you can on a daily basis. To me, respect shows up, I think in lots of different ways. Mike:                       I love it. And you have a book that in addition to yours that you really enjoy, you really love called Thought Leaders Practice by Matt Church, Peter Cook. Neen:                      Yes. It's one of my favorites. Mike:                       Yeah, it's a great book. I've been fortunate to be able to read it. Great book. What do you love about that book? Neen:                      You know, I think it's the Bible for running a practice where you want to run a profitable practice. And so to me, I run a practice, not a business and my distinction is very much that I'm never going to sell Neen James Inc., right? It's me. I'm it. Right? Neen:                      And so for me, what it taught me was how to systemize profitability across multiple revenue streams. And so the predominant work that I do is keynote speaking like you, but I also run an executive mentoring practice as well. So those two profit centers, it gave me a really great insight in how I could ensure that I had more manageable cashflow. Neen:                      The challenge with the lifestyle I've chosen and the industry that I've chosen is it's kind of what we call lumpy billing, right? So some months are great, some months are not. And so being able to learn how to have consistency across the different months about putting systems in place to ensure that I'm really doing my best work and that I'm then outsourcing others. There's so many things. Matt Church also just ... I just read his latest book called Next and he's truly one of the world's greatest thought leaders, I think. And he's always looking for the next thing and the future of things. And that book when I read it, was really helping me map the future that I wanted to create. That's why I love it so much. Mike:                       Very cool. And everything you're describing about the practice, being able to set yourself up so there's an evenness requires a lot of attention to detail. Neen:                      It does. And it's exhausting. Let me just be super clear with people. If you choose an entrepreneurial career and this, I feel like our chosen career and this one particularly in the world of speaking, so I choose to stand on a stage for a living. It gets no more vulnerable than that, but it also ... There is no greater sense of attention than standing on a stage. It's not actually about me, though. It's about how I stand in service of that audience, but my career is attention. My profession is attention. It's all about attention, but I think attention is about connection, right? And so I think running a business, it's not my favorite thing to do. Let me be super clear about that. But it allows me to have the lifestyle that I love and so what I've also been very good at doing is putting people in around me who are brilliant at attention to detail, right? Neen:                      I told you earlier, my idea of productivity is great. My execution is not as strong and so I have people in my life who help me get things done and so I built my practice in a way that I can focus on the things I'm really, really good at: speaking, writing and delivering the product that I do. Neen:                      And everything else, we have people around us who can help us do that. Now, when I first started Mike, I couldn't afford to do that. It was just me. Right? So if you're listening to this and you're just starting on an entrepreneurial journey, believe me, it took a long time before I could pay other people to do things. Neen:                      So initially I would barter. I would barter their brilliance for my time, so I'd say, "Hey, can you help me set up my QuickBooks? I'll come train your team on how to be more productive in your practice." And so I was constantly trading my time until I could afford to write checks for people to pay them for what it is that they do for me. And so I think you just need to get super creative on what you're going to invest your attention in, in order to get the return that you want. Mike:                       I love it. Thank you so much, Neen, for joining us. Neen:                      What a treat. Thanks for having me on your show. I love what you're doing in the world.

Do you ever feel ignored if you are out to eat with someone and they keep checking their phone? Does it make you feel insecure? Well, you're not alone. We all feel that way. Today it seems like everyone pays attention to their device and not the world around them. It's an addiction not many people are addressing, but lucky for you this can easily play in your favor as an entrepreneur. To build stronger relationship (whether personal or business) all you have to do is put your phone away. Wear a watch so you're not tempted to pull it out. When you do this, you're instantly going to show the person you are with that you care more than the majority of our modern world. When you do that, you'll build loyalty. They will appreciate the fact that you are appreciating them and their time. It honestly goes a long way, and will pay you back in many ways. It's such a simple thing to do, yet we've lost that genuine connection to our phones. To go more into this, I have a special guest today: Neen James.

WARRIOR OF LIGHT     “Choose consciously, act deliberately, and invest transformationally.” - Neen James Highlights - We are constantly distracted and have made technology more important than people. Because of devices, 9-5 became 24/7. Listen with your eyes. Attention is about connecting at a deeper level. Focus is an activity that needs to be completed. Retaining customers and talented employees requires you to pay attention. Instead of being busy, be productive. Always consider who you are with and what you are trying to achieve. Try to keep your devices out of sight. Move from unconscious attention to conscious attention. Work/life integration is different for everyone. Educate the people around you about your work/life integration. Make sure your actions are aligned with the choices you want to make. It's just as important to know what to say no to as it is what to say yes to. Think about the impact you make as an individual contributor.

In a noisy world where small businesses are forced to compete against more recognized brands for consumers attention, it can be tough to keep your business above water. Let’s face it…if we don’t have the attention of our prospects, customers, fans, followers, subscribers and so on, we’re done. On this podcast episode, I talk with Neen James about why attention is vital for businesses and how to get more of it. Neen is a good friend of mine and honestly, one of my most favorite people on the planet. She is a member of the League of Heroic Public Speakers and offers practical strategies to her audiences. Neen is also an accomplished author of “Folding Time” and her latest book, “Attention Pays.” Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Attention is the evolution of productivity, and when we learn how to grab and keep people’s attention, we make more money, and we get more done Attention drives productivity, profitability, and accountability We pay attention in three ways: personal, professional and global Personal attention is about being thoughtful and thinking about who deserves our attention Professional attention is about what deserves our attention and being productive Global attention is about being responsible with focus on how we pay attention in the world Don’t underestimate the power of a handwritten note to add a personal touch and show your appreciation Try to invest 15-minutes a day and identify your top 3 non-negotiable activities that will move you closer to achieving your goals Multi-tasking isn’t always the answer – each time you change tasks, your brain takes 23 minutes to regain focus Public accountability drives private accountability, and when we tell someone else what we intend to do, we’re more likely to follow through with it You should outsource things that are not your strengths, so you can focus on what’s most important to you and your business If we pay attention to our clients and listen to what they don’t tell us, we’ll be able to accommodate them better Ask more targeted questions to your clients to get to the heart of what’s really going on and find out what they need from you and your business Much, much more!

Jeannie and Adam interview Neen James, global speaker and bestselling author, to expose the difference between intentional and transactional attentions, and how that difference is vital to your success. Are you paying attention where it really counts? Tracking attention is big business these days. In fact, companies are investing a lot into learning how customers scan web pages, walk through stores, and more.  But what is your attention worth? Moreover, what is your attention worth to customers? We like to think we give our customers the attention they need and deserve, but are we really giving them the attention that makes them want to come back and bring friends? “Many businesses are getting left behind because they're not realizing the value of attention.” -Neen James It’s not quite as simple as making sure the customer journey is smooth and enjoyable, so Author and Speaker Neen James is here to help us understand the difference between transactional attention and intentional attention. And more importantly, she shares the many ways it pays to give meaningful human attention to those you interact with. “..the customer feels like THE most important person we’ve talked to all day.” - Neen James But we also need to consider how much we’re asking people to pay attention to. Sadly, we have websites chock-full of calls to action, stores loaded with deals and “outgoing” sales people, and when we connect one-to-one, we want to tell them everything. And in this digital age, it’s getting harder to see and hear meaningful messages above the din. Are we creating environments where customers CAN pay attention?” - Neen James And this isn’t just about business! In fact, Neen goes on to explain that we’re at a time when paying intentional attention is critical to our social well-being, our goals in the community, and the state of our global environment. “This conversation is vital right now.” - Neen James Using great examples and the best highlights from her book, Neen shared invaluable insights into how to use our energy more wisely when engaging on all fronts – for a better business, a better staff, a better life, and a better world. So we really hope you’ll listen in (and pay attention!) Interview Highlights What is the commercialization of attention, and more importantly, what does it mean when Neen says “Attention Pays?” [3:27] How can we design employees’ attention and focus into the customer journey? [8:47] Being attentive is very nice, but what does it mean for business results? [11:00] We ask people to do things for us, but how can we make sure they’re still in the moment with us, so attention continues to pay? [16:58] About our guest Neen James is the author of Folding Time™ and Attention Pays™. In 2017, she was named one of the Top 30 Leadership Speakers by Global Guru because of her work with companies like Viacom, Comcast, and Abbot Pharmaceuticals among others.

“If you are really serious about performance, you have to get counsel and direction from people who are qualified to give it you.” - Neen James (click to tweet) We all have production companies in our pockets. Today, the smartphone has empowered people to instantly publish content to an audience with a few taps. For public speakers, this creates a unique challenge where they must always be on. The speech no longer ends after the applause; rather, speakers must be open to connection in the lobby, at the airport, or in their hometown because any moment could turn into a tweet or Instagram post. On today’s episode of Steal the Show, we are joined by Neen James. Neen is the author of 9 books, including Folding Time and her most recent book, Attention Pays. In 2017, she was named one of the Top 30 Leadership Speakers by Global Guru because of her work with companies like Viacom, Comcast, Cisco, and many more. She has received numerous awards as a professional speaker, is a partner in Thought Leaders Global, and is a member of the prestigious league of Heroic Public Speakers. In this conversation, Neen details many topics: what it means to be a public speaker in 2018, how we can use technology to our advantage, why we should look for unique places to project our personal brand, and much more. Tune in to apply Neen’s insights to your life, career, or passion project! You can order Neen James’ Attention Pays here. “Think about how much we can use social media to engage an audience before we even step on stage.” - Neen James (click to tweet) Steal the Points Ask whether a social media post is for value or vanity. Public speakers are always being photographed and videotaped. Personal brands must be cohesive experiences for the audience. Stepping outside normal roles forces the student to see what he/she is capable of. Those who are only coached by the so-called gurus start to resemble those gurus. Approach public speaking as an artistic expression. When speakers embrace their uniqueness, they gain a competitive advantage. Seek specific coaching over generalized help. Opportunities for personal branding exist in unique places (email auto-responses, voicemails, etc.). Systemize thoughtfulness by creating calendar events to stay in contact with valuable people.   Previous Steal The Show Episodes with Neen James: 100 Neen James on Creating Contextual Models for Speakers, Authors and Content Creators 070 The Business of Speaking for Women, Business Models for Speakers, and much more with Neen James

This conversation was with one of the spunkiest, most giving speakers I know, Neen James. 5 years ago Neen was my "speaker buddy" when I first joined the National Speakers Association. Her book Folding Time was a fantastic book, and when I learned she was writing a new book, I excitedly asked her if I could interview her. She said yes, and this chat is all about that new book Attention Pays. Show Notes - Attention Pays How can we remember names better? Neen's advice: Ask them to remind you of their name. Write their name down IMMEDIATELY! Dr. Nido Qubein is the ROLE MODEL for remembering names - the president of High Point University.  Attention Pays Then we moved on to talk about the topic of her book - attention. Who deserves my attention right here, right now? How do we give our full attention? What is distracting us from paying quality attention? Attention is transactional - but you can make it intentional - and it isn't hard. It's thoughtful! Sometimes its about eliminating bad attention. Managing attention is about simplicity - use people's names more. Simplicity is about looking up and looking in people's eyes - listen with your eyes!   People say we have the attention span of a goldfish - this is a marketing myth! Who really counted how long the attention span is?  "We get a choice to pay attention - every single day. Attention creates a moment of significance."

Folding Time by SoundMonk

Todays guest is a lady who can get more done in a day than most people get done in a week. Actually she can get more done in a hour than others do in a week. She is a master at productivity and blitzing though piles of work at a rate of knots, and ensuring she gains maximum results from her work too. But don't think that this a lady who burns the candle at both ends, and just works harder than most. She looks amazing, seems to have more energy than most, and can often be seen whizzing around on her Harley Davison, or searching for another pair of shoes for her expanding collection. She loves her life, she loves her job, and she loves getting out in front of people and presenting her time saving strategies to the world With a strong background in learning and development and managing large teams at various corporations, she is the perfect fit for organizations wanting a presenter to provide implementable strategies to save time, increase focus and help their people get more done. Not the kind of stuff that you might have seen time and time again, when the work management takes as long as doing the job in the first place. But practical stuff that can make a huge difference. She is the author of eight business books including "Folding Time, Secrets of Super-Productivity, Strategic Networking and Network or Perish" to name just a few. So what is about this Australian lady, that has made her see that there is so much wasted time in life, and for the most we are simply doing the wrong things at the wrong time.? And why has she left her home in Australia, which is one these places that so many would die to live in, and now has two homes, the other being in America. Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Neen James.

Neen is a high energy, Aussie leadership expert focused on productivity who delivers engaging programs that have educated and entertained audiences with real-world strategies that apply in all roles at work and home.
