On July 5th, 2018 Jennifer and Jack Edwards were murdered in their home on Hull Street in the Sydney suburb of West Pennant Hills.  Their mother Olga Edwards returned from work that day to a wall of lights and sirens in front of her home. Police wouldn't let her inside, but she knew almost instantly who was responsible for whatever evil had happened inside her house. She knew there was only one reason police would be at her doorstep.  “It's my husband,” she told police. “It's my husband. We have the final court hearing in two weeks.” THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Find out more about Mamamia's charity partner RizeUp Australia here.

If you struggle with finding clients, getting referrals, and communicating the value of your services, you most likely need help with your positioning.  That's what $ix Figures Lab member Jennifer Edwards needed help with, too.  I first connected with Jennifer on LinkedIn, when she reached out to let me know she was considering joining $ix Figures Lab. And I gave her coaching right there in the DMs that she now says changed the trajectory of her business.   Jennifer is now positioned as a Fractional Chief Financial Officer, who guides service-based business owners through the maze of their finances, so they can make sound decisions based on facts and figures. And we are meeting 1:1 soon to discuss the next step to niching further by industry. I think you will enjoy hearing how changing her title completely transformed Jennifer's business, how she niched down to become instantly referable, and the power of leveraging strategic referral partners.     

In the last episode, I told you the first part of the story of 15-year-old Jack Edwards and his 13-year-old sister, Jennifer. I told you about the multiple romantic partners and children their father, John Edwards, abused and manipulated over the years, the various complaints against John of domestic violence and stalking, and how, despite all that, he was able to obtain permits and licenses to both shoot and own multiple firearms in New South Wales, Australia.In this episode, I'll tell you about how John Edwards' diabolical preparations led up to his most horrific act; how he carried out the brutal murder of Jack and Jenny on July 5, 2018; the devastation John left in his wake; and how the incredibly thorough coroner's inquest into this terrible crime exposed the failures of the systems and individuals who could have prevented it.This is part two of the infuriating story of Jack and Jennifer Edwards.

On July 5, 2018, 13-year-old Jennifer Edwards got off the bus and walked eight minutes to get to her home in West Pennant Hills, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. Jenny had no idea that her father, 67-year-old John Edwards, was following her in a car he rented so she wouldn't recognize him. When Jenny arrived at home, John pulled into the driveway and chased her inside the house with a handgun. Jenny fled to her brother's bedroom, where she and 15-year-old Jack huddled under his computer desk, terrified, as their own father stormed in and fired multiple shots directly into his helpless children's bodies.This is the story of two kids whose mother did everything she could to protect them from the man she left after years of psychological and physical abuse. It's also the story of a family who was catastrophically failed by multiple systems that were in place to prevent horrific events like Jack and Jenny's murders from occurring, and of a man who, despite leaving decades of red flags in his wake, still managed to secure the permits and licenses he needed to buy multiple guns.This is part one of the infuriating story of Jack and Jennifer Edwards.

Communication. So important in our lives, both professionally and personally. So complex, not only with all the platforms on which communication is possible but even more so as we are doing more “remote” communication. Katie McCleary shares with Kevin that we need to show up with the intent to listen. We need to move past asking “why are you doing this” to “tell me about how you are doing this”. We can't force collaboration, so to keep moving forward we need to get curious. Key Points In this episode, Katie discusses clean and curious listening.  She shares what it means to empty the human cup.  She talks about listening for energy words.
