One of the themes of state politics this year has been a relentless focus on jammed hospital emergency departments, with ambulances ramped outside. The new Labor Government promised to fix the ramping crisis. It hasn't done that – if anything, things are now worse. What this political imperative means is that hospitals remain under the political spotlight and the focus of government health spending. But what about the mental health crisis that has been building for years? This month is Mental Health Awareness Month and advocates are using the occasion to argue for a shift in investment beyond hospitals – a ‘traumatised system' that is struggling. The Mental Health Coalition, which represents non-government organisations in the field, says they want to see more investment in community-based mental health support. Geoff Harris, the executive director of the coalition, joins the podcast in this episode.

Where does the drive to help those less fortunate come from? What are the inbuilt qualities that makes someone so consistently good at positively impacting others? Co-founder of global business success story Flight Centre, Geoff Harris has lived a life of extraordinary success. Understand this incredible story with host Luke Darcy, unpack all of Geoff's incredible work, and hear what he's planning next. 20 Leadership Tips from Geoff Harris 1. Clearly communicate rights and responsibilities to your team Discipline, standards, performance, values, punctuality and teamwork. People crave this. 2. Total information sharing Communicate everything. Tell it how it is! Give them the brutal facts (even if they involve you). 3. Avoiding confronting people who need to be confronted You must coach, mentor, council and administer tough love when needed 4. Be totally accessible and available to all staff Keep your antennae constantly massaged by walking around and talking to your people. 5. Manage your time Spend equal time on strategy (the creative) and execution (the practical) and communicate endlessly to all staff. Keep messaging as simple as possible! 6. Don’t Be Complacent Constantly challenge your existing model and strategies, lead a culture of innovation and constant change to keep moving forward. Demand an innovation culture! Constantly swim against the stream and not simply replicate what others are doing. 7. Staff are your greatest asset – bullshit! Only the RIGHT staff, in the RIGHT roles are your greatest asset. Poor performing staff or staff in the WRONG roles are your biggest liabilities. Aces in places! Hire on positive attitude, cultural fit, teamwork, determination to succeed. 8. Mandela’s Leadership Legacy Take on your base when needed. Leaders Courage to change conventional wisdom 9. Leaders must radiate optimism, enthusiasm and can-do spirit It must be part of your DNA and part of organisations culture. Staff are watching when you don’t realise they are watching! 10. Leaders must raise the bar and lift expectations Challenge your people and expect them to achieve. 11. Set a clear and compelling vision sell it constantly, Hold people to account in achieving this vision. Give them the tools and recourses to achieve it and celebrate when attained! 12. Set 12 month and three-year goals And set them for your personal, family and professional life. Share your goals and create timelines. Have your people do the same. Review constantly with team. 13. Balance family, work and community responsibilities. We all have only 168 hours per week. Have your goals sorted and balance family, work and community responsibilities. 14. Project a resilient and persistent persona As well as a strong sense of self-worth! As a leader you MUST radiate these qualities. 15. Leave egos at the door Australian character is built on an egalitarian ethos. Earn respect because of actions not title, age or rank. And don’t blame others if outcomes go off track – ask yourself (and your team), what are you going to do about it? 16. Find ways to prevail Try unconventional strategies (within the rules) if conventional strategies are not working. If everyone is going left, how do we go right, and outflank opposition? 17. Focus equally on what not to do, as well as what to do Identify inefficiencies, excessive layers, outdated systems and roadblocks that overcome and prevent positive outcomes. 18. Leaders are readers Seek out new ideas by reading of other successful people and organisations. Find a mentor and have an enquiring mind. 19. Determine what you want your legacy to be What sort of organisation do you want to leave behind? What is your succession plan? 20. Have fun! Be proud of your organisation, your town, your country, and enjoy the journey and the things that success brings. Start your leadership journey today.

There are a number of people predicting ‘gloom and doom' in the real estate market. And yes, we are experiencing a major shift. But price corrections are part of the natural rhythm of things, and there are a number of things agents can do to forecast what is coming and stay in the game as the market normalizes. Today, I am joined by Rudy Hernandez, President of Nu World Title, Geoff Harris, State Agency Manager at North American Title Insurance, and Ana Bosovic, Real Estate Analytics Specialist, to talk about what's happening in the real estate market, here in South Florida and nationally. We explore the recent slowdown in files, discussing the impact of rising interest rates, overinflated prices, and declining pressure to buy. We also speak to positive trends in South Florida, from continued population growth to the rising average median salary. Finally, we address the market correction that is on the horizon, explaining why a normalized market is okay and how agents can stay in the game by adding value in a unique way. Listen in to understand the value of studying your local and national markets and learn how to educate consumers and boost your value proposition as a real estate professional! Topics Covered The recent slowdown in files and notable price reductions Why consumers don't feel the pressure to buy How many buyers are priced out by rising interest rates Our prediction that the number of agents will decrease The next wave of foreclosures in the commercial sector Why agents need to add value in a unique way The positive trends re: population growth and jobs The imminent price correction in real estate The disparity between rental and purchase prices The new programs to facilitate lending Why investors are likely to take the hit first How this downturn will differ from the crash How real estate agents can take advantage of disruptions The value in studying the local and national markets How agents can educate consumers around iBuyers Connect with David David on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kurzdavid/ David on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidakurz David on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DavidAdamKurz David on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCecJUBu316jIlXuTueXcd_w David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidadamkurz/?hl=en Books by David: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&text=David+Adam+Kurz&search-alias=books&field-author=David+Adam+Kurz&sort=relevancerank Resources Nu World Title: nuworldtitle.com North American Title Insurance: natic.com/Home.aspx Ana on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/anabozovic

It was Tim Rice, with the help of Elton John, who so eloquently nailed the theme of this week’s show with 1994 smash hit for the Disney Classic, The Lion King, The Circle Of Life. The circle moves us all through crappy times, good times, ‘til we find who we are, paraphrasing of course. For every beginning, there is someone taking a step back...it’s just how it is in this sport...you can’t be a world beater forever...unless, of course, you’re Ed Whitlock. Alas, on this week’s episode, we do not speak to Ed Whitlock, but Chris Dulhanty, a promising steepler with a full career ahead of him, and Geoff Harris, taking a step back after a storied career in the 800m. A view from different points on the circle, and another episode of Brant Statchel’s #TrackFactOrFiction all on this week’s episode of The Terminal Mile.
