Welcome to another captivating episode of The Coaching Podcast, where we delve into the world of transformative coaching, speaking, and self-discovery. In this episode, we unravel the art of coaching by exploring fundamental principles such as First Principles and understanding second-order consequences. Our guest, Jon Yeo, a speaking consultant, and licensee of TEDxMelbourne, shares his profound insights on coaching excellence, emphasizing the importance of deep connection, consistent methodology, and empathetic understanding. We journey through the intricacies of effective communication, guided by Jon's expertise in crafting TEDx talks that truly resonate. From exploring inner motivations to creating memorable speaking experiences, we explore the strategies that drive meaningful change. Join us as we navigate through the realms of coaching, speaking, and self-mastery, uncovering the secrets to influence, engagement, and the joy of transformative growth. Some of the highlights include; 1.29: Worst coaching moments: When a coach assumes they know more than they do. Assumptions are your biggest killer. 2.03: Best coaching moments: When the coach deeply understands the needs, values, and outcomes of that person. Are you even more committed than the coachee? How can a coach best prepare to be the moment? Do your homework! Meet them where they are at, based on their background and experience. Once you have arguably five times more information than you need, look for patterns. Look for 'First Principles' - what are the prime elements that if you removed them, actually stopped that thing from being? (Car analogy) This helps the coach and their client re-engineer their road map. 5.35: Do you have a practice of excellence that extends well before you even get there? It's more than just creating the time to prepare! 6.07: Sliding Doors: "I love what you do, and, do what I love." But that wasn't always the case for Jon. Moving to London transformed the way he thinks and the way he operates. 9.19: What Makes a Great Coach? Observant - how is your attention to detail around every micro-facet of their thinking, doing, action, practice, and being? Can you spot a pattern or schism (a split or division between strongly opposed sections or parties, caused by differences in opinion or belief)? Do you have a consistent methodology? Without a baseline, you can't measure improvement or direction. Open - Be honest that one day you might be wrong, or that you don't have all of the answers or you don't have the clarity that you really should have. If you are not open and vulnerable to this fact that you will never learn, grow, and evolve. How can you shift from a "know-it-all to a learn-it-all?" Empathetic - are you putting yourself in your coachee's shoes? 12.31: What drives someone to do something? (the human psyche) Inner exploration - How do you think, act, and operate? Who are you? Because everything you do is an expression of those elements. 14.12: What causes someone to pause, rewind, or abandon a TEDx talk? Pause and rewind: For reflection purposes Abandon: 1) The speaker is not interesting 2) The idea is too complicated 3) Or it wasn't the idea they expected Therefore, knowing why people engage and why people disengage will come down to your ability to say the right thing, at the right time, to the right person, and in the right way = the craft of speaking. 15.38: You need basic rules to follow for a successful talk (it's an art and science). TEDx talk TIPS and considerations: Most people take about 8 drafts before they are even more comfortable sharing their message with the world. Remember that before you get this draft it probably won't feel good, and/or sound great but that's okay and it is a part of the process. Most people 'stop here' but keep defining and refining because that's the fun and compulsory part. A typical draft will take half a day to a week (Chat GPT can speed up this process). Prioritizing the importance will help you determine the amount of time you need to prepare. Memorize the key bullet points (25 times to know the content) and note that it will take you 50 times of practice before you will be able to deliver a LIVED EXPERIENCE. Can you deliver your talk without thinking about it? Remember that "hope is not a strategy when you are trying to influence someone," 98% of the time, speakers have anywhere between 60 - 90% too much content. What do you want people to THINK, FEEL, and DO after listening to your talk? A TEDx talk is - Ideas worth spreading, they are not lectures worth learning. When we are speaking, it is actually an opportunity to engage, build rapport, and establish and build a relationship. Otherwise, you are just transferring information and you would be missing the point of the purpose of speaking. 20.46: What are second-order consequences? (The consequence of the consequence. 24.29: How can we make STEM more appealing to girls at a younger age? Follow: Sarah Moran is co-founder of Girl Geek Academy, a movement to bring one million women and girls into technology careers by 2030. Book: Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez (Data bias in a world designed for men). Men need to be honest that they are successful because the world is built for them. 28.58: TED talk recommendations: Mastery talks because of their simplicity and profoundness: 1) Weird or Just Different by Derek Sivers 2) How to Tie Your Shoes by Terry Moore Great speakers are able to create this two-way dynamic When we are more symbiotic the joy of life seems to show itself and the struggle disappears.

Today I am excited to chat with a friend, a colleague and one of the most highly regarded authorities in the world of business influence and communication. His name is Jon Yeo, and he is an Executive Communications Coach and Licensee of TEDxMelbourne. He is also someone I would consider to be a translator of the space between business influence and emerging technologies revolutionising thought leadership. In working with leaders of all kinds, Jon focuses on building trust, empathy and engagement using an analytics approach to speaking and mastering influence online, onstage, and in life. He describes himself as a Radical inclusionist, and I can attest that everything he does is 100% focused on igniting human progress. Before today's interview, I had the pleasure of working with Jon as a part of the Tedx community and our work together as facilitators for the Speakers Institute and every time I have met him…I have had a deep curiosity to want to learn more about his perspectives on business and, more broadly, about the world. As an optimized leader, he exudes a calm and quiet influence. With Jon, I always feel I am in the presence of a wise sage. He has done the work and mastered his art through deep research, observation and execution. Integrity is at the foundation of not only who he is but also how he shows up in the world. Jon has a rare ability as a leader to hold space not to speak - but to be in a deep conversation with an audience. A transfer of energy that transforms every person in a room. And today, he shares with us exactly how he does that….which is so essential….because when we understand this, we know the gravity we have to lead the very change we seek. The kind of change the world needs today more so than ever before. Welcome to the podcast Jon Yeo.

We are often too busy to consider the impact of our work with each other.   In a world of 24/7 connectivity, it is somehow hard to find the time to just get our immediate work done. But by altering our focus in our everyday communications, we can increase our productivity work towards intentional outcomes with clients and colleagues. In this episode I speak with Licensee and Head of Curation of Tedx Melbourne and Communication Coach, Jon Yeo about how we can help our audiences engage with intent. To find out more about Jon, visit www.brightstar.net.au  To find out more about TED and Tedx, visit www.ted.com https://youtu.be/XjeSHJqEsvI Transcription Donna Hanson: In this Expert Insights episode, I'm speaking with Jon Yeo, aside from working as a communication coach assisting business leaders to engage with content since like 2009 Jon has been a licensee and head of curation TEDx Melbourne. Hi. JON AND WELCOME. Jon Yeo: Hi, Donna. Good to see you. Donna Hanson: I'm looking forward to finding out more about engaging with intent and particularly about your involvement with TEDx in Melbourne. I've always been curious about TED and TEDx now for the uninitiated what's TED and what's the difference between TED and TEDx Jon Yeo: Yeah, it's a good question and relatively common one. Ted began as a conference in 1984 and so it started in California. And so, they ran that for many, many years, and then they decided to do a global event which moves around Rio, Scotland all sorts of Africa. And they became the two Ted events that will know love which were all recorded a little bit later they decided to do what's called a Ted X license, which is an independent license. It is run by a local organizer in their geography. So, because I'm in Melbourne. I have the Melbourne based TEDx license. And so, each geography has its own TEDx license as well. Donna Hanson: And I guess that makes it easier for them to a create a bigger brand, a more global truly global audience and a mechanism for them to develop more content and obviously get the message out. Jon Yeo: Yeah. Absolutely got it in one Donna Hanson: So, what was the journey to becoming licensee and head of curation pathetic. Now that I'm guessing probably somebody just didn't come and knock on your door and say, hey, we've got this awesome opportunity. Would you like you know bit like door to door selling Jon Yeo: Look what the, I mean, there's still is an application process but effectively back then, Ted. Well, the that type of community that feature focus optimistic, you know, productive type communities was a bit of a rarity back then in 2009 and so became my tribe. And so, while I wasn't the founding licensee I was part of the team that began the organization and she had to decide in 2009 whether she was going to run the next TEDx Donna Hanson: Melbourne. Jon Yeo: Or organize her wedding. So it kind of landed on my lap. I didn't want the community to die, and he's just sort of the rest, State's history Donna Hanson: Oh, awesome. Now, just an additional you know added the blue curiosity factor. Um, is there a licensee fee? To buy Let's, let's not talk about numbers better fame doesn't generate revenue. Jon Yeo: Yeah, there is no fee but the license expires. The moment you run your event and it's renewed based on whether you're within 10% of the global net promoter score so that's the hard part. Because that's hard to keep up with. Donna Hanson: Well, I guess that's a benchmark designed to keep you focused on the end goal, which is making sure that every event you create is engaging Jon Yeo: Exactly, exactly. And so, all it is focused on event and experiencing experience design. Donna Hanson: And what do you think is made both TED and TEDx so popular globally. Because, I mean, you mentioned Ted or TEDx and instantaneous recognition worldwide. Jon Yeo: I think It's largely because I mean,

Jon shares some insights regarding the vibes and the addictive quality of the support and the energy you get from exchanging ideas in a setting that’s proven to be highly stimulating.“There is a genuine interest in helping each other! And so this is really… a strong sense of community - how do we support each other through these grand visions that we all hold” - Jon YeoCreating a Ripple Effect by Doing Small ThingsJon is a huge believer in the fact that you can make a big difference in the world by doing accumulating small gestures you volunteer every day over an extended period of time. It is a belief that he acquired through his upbringing and there’s an entire TEDx talk that he made a while back centered around this idea.“Small things can make a big difference.” - Jon YeoBuilding Momentum Using First PrinciplesIn our introduction, we’ve mentioned that Jon is well-known for being able to articulate complex things simply. But he’s often encountered a mindset that people feel there needs to be something more to the story. Like we somehow expect that complexity itself adds value. He reflects on the universal and effective nature of first principles and how we can use them to build momentum.“If you think about first principles, none of those are complex. Yet they’re all universally and infinitely effective. I think people don’t want to think about first principles. Mostly because it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of effort and sometimes it’s confronting… And it’s that… resistance... that causes that momentum to be lost because we spend all our effort trying to break our inertia, rather than all our effort optimizing around that momentum.” - Jon YeoHow To Prepare a Good TEDx TalkThis was a unique experience for us to get valuable insight into what makes a strong TEDx Talk and Jon was very generous and honest in his response.“Is that talk, first of all, something that everyone’s talking about, no one’s talking about, or someone is talking about it but in a unique way… It’s that third one I’m looking for.” - Jon YeoCreating a Disproportionate Amount of AttentionIn order to get your story out there, you obviously need to have a strong position. But Jon also recognizes the necessity of creating attention and how you also need to invest your time and resources in an effort to develop a disproportionate amount of it.“If you have a great idea it’s not of any help to anyone if it doesn’t create attention. And a disproportionate amount of attention. If you think of great brands that always do that sort of thing, you’ve got… Elon Musk and his tweets, Richard Branson and his PR stunts… Once you know that you need to do that,... the other two factors are momentum and timing.” - Jon YeoThe Relationship Between Potential, Opportunities, and MomentumJon believes that each and every one of us needs to draw strength from and own a tendency to be the best person they can be. The consequences for not doing so can be dire for our growth and progress which he wonderfully explores in the relationship between three very important factors - Potential, Opportunities, and Momentum.“We’re undermining our potential. And if we’re undermining our potential, we’re undermining opportunities. And if we’re undermining our opportunities we’re undermining our momentum.” - Jon YeoStaying Invested In the Bigger PictureDuring the talk, Jon mentioned that we have a moral obligation to do our best, but he also recognizes that doing our best needs to encompass a notion of giving and sharing with others. We must not allow ourselves to be consumed by self-serving values.“I don’t think that our value to the community and the way that we will get rewarded is by self-serving attitudes and values. The only way humanity and community and culture and business and everything else we believe is important to us can really grow and amplify is if we’re constantly investing in that bigger picture.” - Jon YeoJon’s Message of Inspired EvolutionOh, how I loved talking to Jon and what a blessing this conversation has been! His analytical mind combined with a tendency to strive towards the simple provided me with a ton of inspiration and I hope they will inspire you as well. This has been a wonderful conversation about momentum and finding a unique voice that will help you tell your story in a way that affects the world for the better.“Stay the path. Believe that when you see something and that it lights you up - that is the right way. Be willing to that in order to have something new you have to give something up as well.” - Jon Yeo See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The speed at which your company grows often comes down to one thing - Communication! The more influential your communication skills the more people will buy into your ideas.  In this episode, curator of TEDx Melbourne, Jon Yeo shares his framework for improving the quality of your communication. If you're not familiar with TED it stands for Technology, Entertainment & Design. It's a not for profit organisation that coordinates events globally where people get to come and share an idea worth spreading.  These talks are limited to just 18mins so people have to know how to concisely communicate their point, a skill that is invaluable to everyone and we explore how to improve your communication skills in this episode. 

TED Talks deliver "ideas worth sharing" but what makes one presentation more captivating than others? When information is presented to us, it's difficult to remember a string of facts, instead, people connect and empathise through the use of story, to teach knowledge and impart wisdom. Jon Yeo, Curator and Licensee of TEDxMelbourne, is a communication expert, a facilitator of growth, and an entrepreneur. Jon has a rich history of helping leaders engage their followers, and for developing speakers to present both TED Talks and business presentations. In today's episode of Be The Drop, Jon explains why we need good communication skills and how to develop them. He shares real examples and relatable analogies to show how stories affect us, and how we can don't do our pitches justice without them. ---- James Cridland, Podnews.net Editor and international podcast speaker is coming to Adelaide on Wednesday 23rd October to present the latest data on podcasting trends from around the world.

Get your presentation skills right and you can totally transform your business, so listen up to our esteemed guest Jon Yeo. Jon is the licensing curator of TEDx Melbourne and has worked as a specialist consultant for numerous TEDx speakers, so he understands exactly what it takes for speakers to succeed at the highest level. There were so many pearls of wisdom from Jon, which were delivered clearly and succinctly as you can imagine! Here are some of the highlights:   **  Speaking is becoming more relevant. In an era where words have been reduced down for mediums like Twitter, TED-style talks (18 minutes or less) are more relevant than ever. **  On-demand education from talks is becoming more popular by the day, because of how fluid people’s careers are these days. People need to learn a lot of different things throughout their career but often can’t justify learning in the same academic depth as they used to. **  Good communication is a balance of relevance and engagement. Think ‘content’, ‘context’ and ‘intent’. **  When giving a talk, get over the fact you’re transferring knowledge. The emphasis should be on giving insight. Aspire to get your audience to say “tell me more about that”. **  It takes and average of 25 times to fully ‘embody’ your content. The amount of practice you need to put in when speaking is to get you to the point where you are so ‘embodied’ in your content, your delivery sounds natural. **  The greatest speakers have the ability to change the tone, pitch and positioning of information. **  Always remember your audience. This sounds obvious, but you must think long and hard about what they might want to hear, and give them a message that’s digestible. **  Be clear on your desired outcome at the end. That way you know what content to leave out.   In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn:   **  How long you should practice for a talk **  How to market yourself to TEDx **  How to cram your message in to 18 minutes **  The 9 dimensions of communication **  What is the right amount of content **  The benefits of speaking coaching **  The 5 levels of understanding **  Do we still need subject matter experts?   Resources mentioned in this episode:   **  Ben’s free business planning template: http://www.maxmyprofit.com.au **  To connect with Tim on Linkedin, send him a request beginning with the sentence “Jon, I heard your interview” **  All previous BBF episodes & show notes can be found at http://www.businessbrainfood.com.au **  Twitter: https://twitter.com/bfewtrell   As Jon said, think of the potential loss of opportunity if you stuff up your pitch/speech. This is a fundamental part of business that you need to master!
