Podcasts about keynotes

Warum und Wieso Mehr Leistung, Motivation, Elan und Glück – in der Arbeit und im Leben. Darum geht es in meinem Podcast. Für Führungskräfte und alle, die irgendwie in Verantwortung sind. Thema dieser Folge: Zuversicht als Führungskraft verstehen, verstärken und verbreiten Überall Umbruch, Unmut, Ungewissheit. Krach, Krise, Konflikt. Rekordzahl an Unternehmenspleiten, Konjunkturprognosen im freien Fall, geopolitische Dauerkrise. Und mittendrin die Frage: Woher nimmst du eigentlich noch Zuversicht? Hallo bei „Positiv Führen"! In dieser Solo-Episode dreht sich alles um ein Thema, das gerade in Keynotes, Teamworkshops und Einzelcoachings immer wieder auftaucht: Zuversicht Was bedeutet sie wirklich – und was nicht? Wie unterscheidet sie sich von Hoffnung und Optimismus? Warum ist sie gerade jetzt so wichtig, für dich selbst, dein Team und deine Organisation? Und: Was sagt die Forschung dazu? Ich habe dafür auch einen neuen Audiokurs bei LinkedIn Learning aufgenommen – diese Folge gibt einen ersten Einblick, ergänzt um ein paar exklusive Add-Ons. Außerdem kommen Stimmen zu Wort, die zeigen, wie unterschiedlich Menschen Zuversicht erleben und beschreiben: ein Optiker, eine Kinderkrankenschwester, ein Pfarrer und Nachhilfelehrer, eine Schülerin – und ein Schüler. *„Das Gute sehen – ohne das Schlechte zu übersehen. Das real Mögliche anstreben – ohne sich mit dem Unmöglichen zu verheben." * Teil 1 dieser Episode – wie immer nachzuhören auf positiv-fuehren.com/spfy – hat das Was und Wozu von Zuversicht beleuchtet. Diese Folge widmet sich dem Wie – pragmatisch, evidenzbasiert und direkt anwendbar: Wie du Zuversicht konkret verstärken und verbreiten kannst – mit Do's und Don'ts für Führungskräfte.

Most teams spend their lives trying to reach the top. Very few have to answer the question of what happens when they get there.The Penrith Panthers have won 4 consecutive NRL premierships. In an era designed for parity, they've achieved something almost unheard of in modern sport. Which raises a fascinating challenge.How do you keep people motivated when they've already achieved the goal?How do you maintain standards when success becomes normal? How do you avoid complacency when everyone around you is telling you how good you are?Dan Haesler, Mental Skills Coach for the Penrith Panthers, shares what it takes to sustain excellence after success.But this isn't really about rugby league. It's about leadership, culture, psychology, and human behaviour. Whether you're leading a team, running a business, building a career or pursuing your own goals, eventually you'll face the same challenge: how do you keep growing when you've already won?You can find Dan at his Website:https://danhaesler.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danhaesler/?hl=enLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danhaesler/?originalSubdomain=auBuy a copy of Dan's book: https://www.actofleadership.com/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Talent gets you through the door. It does not keep you in the room, and it has almost nothing to do with what you become.Kieren Jack is proof. The last pick in the AFL rookie draft, too small and too slow on paper, he outworked every reason he should not have made it. Kieren played 256 games for the Sydney Swans, co-captained the club, won the 2012 premiership and earned a place in its Hall of Fame. Then he did the harder thing. He walked away at the top and started again, building a whole new career in business where his name meant nothing.What carries across is the useful part. How do you keep performing when you are running on empty? What actually holds a team together when pressure hits? Why do the people who get knocked down and underestimated often end up the most dangerous?Recorded live, in a room that was never meant to be a podcast. No script, no second takes.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Childcare Conversations, Carrie and Kate dive into a really fascinating topic: the role of keynote speakers at early childhood education conferences. They chat about how the term "keynote" has gotten a bit watered down lately, with some conferences featuring multiple keynotes that blur into workshops. They also uncover a surprising stat: despite the ECE workforce being 98% female, most keynote speakers have historically been men! Their big takeaway? A great keynote should inspire, connect emotionally, and truly reflect the audience it serves.Thanks for Listening

The kind of person who's been helping others perform better for 40 years doesn't usually admit they're struggling. Craig Harper did.His dad is in the hospital. The drive is five hours return. The calls from clients still come. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, one of Australia's most recognised performance coaches said something he'd never said publicly before.That he's lonely.This conversation is for anyone who gives more than they get. Who holds it together at work and unravels at home. Who knows exactly what to tell others and struggles to apply it to themselves.Craig doesn't have a tidy answer here. But he does have hard-won perspective on where your energy actually goes, who you let close enough to tell the truth to, and what it takes to keep showing up when life gets genuinely heavy.Honest, uncomfortable, and worth your time.0:00 — Who motivates the motivator? Craig Harper on why this is the question helpers never get asked.1:30 — "I'm feeling pretty shit, to be honest, mate." How this conversation started.2:07 — Craig says publicly for the first time: "Sometimes I feel really lonely."5:34 — Mum and dad at 87. What's actually been going on behind the curtain.10:28 — Energy out, not in. How Craig thinks about his performance threshold when life gets heavy.12:10 — When doing a podcast feels like calm instead of work. Craig explains the difference.16:45 — Who do you belong to? Craig on connection, loneliness, and what actually fills the cup.17:09 — Vin from school. Why Craig's best mate is the one who tells him he's full of it.18:49 — The inner circle test: if the 4–5 people around you are 80% the same in five years, you'll probably be okay.23:35 — The friend who shouldn't have survived. Craig's story about the person who inspired him more than anyone he's coached.28:17 — Something Craig says here is going to land differently for anyone who's always been the strong one.30:09 — Why willpower doesn't work. What Craig uses instead when the drive back from his parents feels heavy.33:50 — "Am I acting in love?" The one question Craig asks himself to pull himself back.37:05 — One size fits one. Why the advice that works for everyone else might be the wrong advice for you.40:26 — Who actually inspires Craig Harper? His answer is not who you'd expect.43:07 — Two body signals that tell Craig he's running on empty before he consciously knows it.47:19 — The send-off.

How do you build a team where people will run through a wall for each other? Not metaphorically. Literally. James Slipper, the most capped Wallaby of all time. Nic White, the third most capped scrum half in Australian rugby history. Two men who've spent more time with each other than with their families, who've argued hard on the training paddock and sat next to each other every Tuesday team dinner for over a decade.Their answer isn't team building. It isn't trust falls. It isn't a values poster on the wall.Slips opens up on his 2018 rock bottom and the rebuild that gave him the longest career of any Wallaby in history. Nic on the chip on his shoulder that ran most of his career, the sepsis that nearly took him out after he hung up the boots, and the word he never used until now: fragile.Two careers. One friendship.

Geschätzte Lesedauer: 12 Minuten Deutschland ist ein Hightech-Land. Aber ist das auch im Vertrieb so? Wenn ich mir die meisten Vertriebsorganisationen anschaue, dann sieht das Organigramm aus wie vor 20 oder 30 Jahren. Im Jahr 2026, wo alle von KI im Vertrieb, Social Media und Digitalisierung sprechen, kann das eigentlich gar nicht sein. Genau darüber spreche ich in dieser Folge mit Markus Milz, einem der profiliertesten Vertriebsexperten Deutschlands. Wir zeigen dir fünf konkrete Hebel, mit denen du deinen Vertrieb fit für die Zukunft machst – ohne dabei dein Unternehmen auf den Kopf zu stellen. Es geht um echte Praxisbeispiele, neue Tools und eine ehrliche Bestandsaufnahme, warum gerade der deutsche Mittelstand beim Thema digitale Transformation oft hinterherhinkt. Du erfährst, was Jeff Bezos mit seinem Projekt Prometheus vorhat, warum Social Listening dein Cold Calling ersetzt und wie ein digitaler Assistent dir den Vertriebsalltag dramatisch erleichtert. Warum Deutschland im Vertrieb (noch) kein Hightech-Land ist Wir reden so gerne über unsere Ingenieurskunst, unsere Maschinen, unseren Hidden Champions. Und ja, in der Produktion und teilweise in der Logistik sind wir wirklich vorne dabei. Aber wenn ich mir den Vertrieb in den meisten Unternehmen anschaue – Software ausgenommen, und auch da gibt es Licht und Schatten – dann müssen wir ehrlich sein: Im Vertrieb sind wir kein Hightech-Land. Und das ist verrückt, denn Vertrieb ist die wichtigste Funktion im Unternehmen. Sales solves everything. Wenn der Umsatz nicht da ist, sind alle anderen Themen meistens auch nicht mehr viel wert. Markus Milz bringt es auf den Punkt: Er fragt in seinen Keynotes regelmäßig sein Publikum, wer der Meinung sei, dass sich die Welt in den letzten sechs Jahren drastischer geändert habe als in den 25 Jahren davor. 95 Prozent heben die Hand. Dann fragt er, wer das super findet. Da heben nur noch zögerlich 10 Prozent die Hand. Die meisten finden das eher doof – aber kannst du nicht ändern. Die entscheidende Frage ist die nächste: Hast du in den letzten sechs Jahren deinen Vertrieb, deine Strategie, dein Geschäftsmodell drastischer geändert als in den 30 Jahren davor? Da gucken die Leute meistens betreten auf den Boden. Nicht so richtig. Und genau das ist das Problem. Die Geschwindigkeit der Veränderung wird massiv unterschätzt Schau dir an, wie lange Technologien historisch gebraucht haben, sich durchzusetzen. Die Elektrizität: Edison erfand 1880 die Glühbirne. Erst 40 Jahre später war die Welt halbwegs elektrisch. Innovationen brauchten in der Regel fünf bis zehn Jahre, um sich durchzusetzen. Und dann kam ChatGPT. Zwei Monate bis zu 100 Millionen Usern. Heute, keine drei Jahre später, sind wir bei 1,2 Milliarden Usern. Das ist eine Geschwindigkeit, die alles, was wir bisher kannten, in den Schatten stellt. Wenn ich dann ins Publikum frage, wer KI auf dem Handy hat, melden sich 90 bis 95 Prozent. Frage ich, wer es richtig beruflich nutzt, sind es nur noch 20 Prozent. Die meisten nutzen es für Kochrezepte oder ihr Fitnessprogramm. Beruflich – oder gar im Sales – herrscht große Zurückhaltung. Vielleicht mal eine E-Mail schreiben lassen, mal etwas zusammenfassen. Aber dann ist meistens Schluss. Und das ist schade. Denn da fängt es ja erst an. Warum der deutsche Mittelstand zögert: Das Klopapier-Phänomen Markus erzählt eine wunderbare Anekdote von seinem Kollegen Professor Clemens Gewittke: Warum haben die Menschen während Corona eigentlich Klopapier gekauft? Weil Menschen aktionistisch getrieben sind. Wenn etwas Neues kommt und ich nicht weiß, was zu tun ist, mache ich irgendwas. In Frankreich kauften die Leute Rotwein und Kondome. In Amerika wahrscheinlich Waffen. In Deutschland eben Klopapier. Genau das beobachten wir aktuell beim Thema KI im Vertrieb: Es wird Klopapier gekauft. Irgendwas wird ohne Sinn und Verstand probiert. Das hat strukturelle Gründe. Deutschland hat in den letzten 80 Jahren enormen Wohlstand aufgebaut. Drei Millionen Unternehmen, viele Hidden Champions. Und wer viel hat, hat auch viel zu verlieren. Hinzu kommen die etablierten Sätze: „Es hat noch immer gut gegangen." Oder: „Das dürfen wir nicht wegen DSGVO." „Wo werden die Daten gespeichert?" „Das halluziniert doch." „Da gibt es Risiken und Nebenwirkungen." Und vor allem: „Ich will keine Fehler machen." Die deutsche Fehlerkultur als Bremse Eine durchschnittliche Buying-Center-Größe hat sich in den letzten 40 Jahren von drei auf 13 Personen erhöht. 10 Menschen mehr, die in eine Entscheidung eingebunden sind. Warum? Weil keiner mehr Risiken übernehmen will. Aus Angst, Fehler zu machen und damit die Karriere zu ruinieren, wird lieber gar nichts entschieden als das Falsche. Ich habe einen Kunden, der hat die Handynummern seiner Kunden aus dem CRM gelöscht, weil er sie ja nicht besitzen darf. Juristisch vielleicht korrekt – aber bringt das wirklich nach vorne? Eine Statistik bringt es auf den Punkt: 65 Prozent der Unternehmen in Deutschland haben schon einmal eine Investitionsentscheidung wegen DSGVO nicht getroffen. Das läuft möglicherweise nicht ganz in die richtige Richtung. Während wir hier diskutieren, ob Daten auf deutschen oder amerikanischen Servern liegen, baut Jeff Bezos gerade einen 102-Milliarden-Dollar-Fonds auf, um genau diese zögerlichen Unternehmen zu kaufen. Projekt Prometheus: Wenn Bezos vor der Tür steht Jeff Bezos hat einen Fonds aufgelegt, den er Projekt Prometheus genannt hat. 102 Milliarden Dollar. Nicht nur er, ein paar andere sind auch dabei. Der Plan: Gute deutsche und europäische Unternehmen kaufen, bei denen echtes Know-how vorhanden ist – Ingenieurskultur, gute Hardware, tolle Maschinen –, die aber digital und vertrieblich schwach aufgestellt sind. Diese Unternehmen werden gekauft, in die Digitalisierung gebracht und ihr Wert wird auf das 10-, 20-, 50- oder 100-fache skaliert. Deutschland mit dem größten Mittelstand und den meisten Hidden Champions ist für Bezos ein Traumland. Und jetzt hast du als mittelständischer Unternehmer zwei Möglichkeiten: Du wartest, bis Bezos anruft. Oder du nimmst das Thema selbst in die Hand. Stell dir vor, Bezos ruft dich an und sagt: „Ich habe gerade zehn Unternehmen gekauft. Mach die mal fit. Digital, vertrieblich." Wenn du wartest, kauft er deinen Wettbewerber – und dann hast du ein echtes Problem. Das Gute: Du kannst heute mit relativ geringen finanziellen Mitteln sehr viel erreichen. KI ist ein Meister darin, Massendaten zu verarbeiten, zu aggregieren und zu intelligenten Strukturen zusammenzufassen. Was früher Konzernen vorbehalten war, kann heute auch ein 50-Mann-Mittelständler nutzen. Du musst es nur tun. Hebel 1: Inspiration tanken – die Reise nach Aarhaus Wie alles im Leben beginnt auch die Veränderung mit einer Emotion. Mit dem Gefühl: Worüber rede ich eigentlich? Wo will ich hin, wenn ich von Digitalisierung spreche? Wenn du heute zehn Unternehmen fragst, ob sie eine Digitalstrategie haben, sagen alle ja. Bittest du sie zu definieren, was sie meinen, bekommst du zehn komplett unterschiedliche Antworten. Markus empfiehlt einen Besuch in Aarhaus im Münsterland. Eine 40.000-Einwohner-Stadt direkt an der holländischen Grenze, die als digitalste Stadt Deutschlands gilt. Die Idee dort: Alles ist mit allem vernetzt. Du brauchst eine einzige App auf deinem Handy. Damit gehst du in den Supermarkt – ohne Geld, ohne Personal. Du gehst ins Hotel, ins Restaurant, ins Fitnessstudio. Du leihst dir Fahrräder oder Autos aus. Eine App, eine Verbindung. Lohn- und Gehaltsabrechnung, Personaldisposition – alles funktioniert ohne menschlichen Einsatz. KI macht uns wieder menschlicher Jetzt denkst du vielleicht: Total entmenschlicht. Ich sehe das anders. KI ist die Chance, dass wir Menschen wieder menschlicher werden. Wir werden von all dem Mist entlastet, auf den niemand Lust hat – Besuchsberichte schreiben, CRM pflegen, Buchhaltungsbelege sortieren. Stattdessen können wir uns auf das konzentrieren, was nur Menschen können: miteinander reden, Mittagessen gehen, ein Bier trinken, echte Beziehungen aufbauen. Gerade im Vertrieb ist das der eigentliche Wertbeitrag. Hinter Aarhaus steht Tobias Groten, der Chef von Tobit. Das Unternehmen hat in den 80ern und 90ern mit Fax-Software begonnen und sich kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. Heute haben sie eine eigene KI namens Sidekick. Immer wenn in Aarhaus ein Supermarkt, ein Kiosk, ein Hotel oder ein Restaurant pleite ging, hat Tobias gesagt: „Dann nehme ich das." Und weil er kein Hotelier oder Gastronom ist, sondern Techie, hat er das Konzept Hotel komplett neu gedacht. Das ist Disruption: nicht kontinuierliche Verbesserung, sondern radikales Neudenken. Hebel 2: Social Listening – Leads auf dem Silbertablett Wenn ich in einen mittelständischen Maschinenbauer komme und frage, was seine fünf Hauptvertriebskanäle für neue Projekte sind, höre ich in 95 Prozent der Fälle: Messen, Anfragen, Ausschreibungen, internationale Handelsvertreter und ein bisschen Cold Calling. Das war vor 20 oder 30 Jahren genauso. Wir sind aber im Jahr 2026. Schau dir das Organigramm an: Hier ist Marketing, das macht ein bisschen Homepage und Social Media. Hier ist Vertrieb, der geht raus oder macht das, was er immer gemacht hat. Das kann doch im Zeitalter von KI im Vertrieb nicht mehr sein. Ein konkretes Beispiel von Markus: Er hat einen Catering-Anbieter betreut. Was macht so ein Unternehmen normalerweise? Cold Calling. 100 Anrufe: „Brauchst du eine Kantine?" – „Nein." – „Brauchst du eine Kantine?" – „Nein." Mit etwas Glück sagen zwei oder drei „Lass uns mal sprechen" und am Ende gewinnst du vielleicht einen Kunden. Streuverlust: 98 Prozent. Demotivierend für jeden Vertriebler. So funktioniert modernes Social Listening Jetzt der neue Weg: Massenhaft Daten sind in Social Media verfügbar. Menschen gehen jeden Tag in Kantinen und schreiben auf Facebook oder Instagram, ob es geschmeckt hat oder nicht. KI aggregiert diese Daten. Du stellst fest: Bei Unternehmen XY haben sich in den letzten 12 Monaten 47 Mitarbeiter negativ über das Essen geäußert. Das ist ein klares Signal. Gleichzeitig schaut die KI in Pressemitteilungen: 2022 wurde ein Vierjahresvertrag mit dem aktuellen Caterer abgeschlossen. Der läuft 2026 aus. Die KI identifiziert das Buying Center und liefert dir den Hauptentscheider Peter Mayer inklusive Persönlichkeitsprofil: faktenbasiert, braucht erst Vertrauen, am besten Testimonials einsetzen. Das ist, als würde ein Freund anrufen und dir den perfekten Lead servieren – nur dass du diesen Freund nicht mehr brauchst. Du bekommst es systematisch jeden Tag, jede Woche geliefert. Statt 100 unqualifizierten Calls hast du fünf bis sieben hochwertige Leads. Du bist deutlich effizienter, weil du dich mit mehr interessierten Kunden beschäftigst. Und dein Team muss mental nur noch fünf statt 97 Absagen verarbeiten. Das Thema Resilienz spielt plötzlich eine ganz andere Rolle. Die Konsequenz: Sales und Marketing wachsen zusammen. Marketing liefert dem Vertrieb vorqualifizierte Leads. Du brauchst neue Strukturen – eine aggregierte Abteilung, die Datenmanagement, Sales, Marketing, KI und Digitalisierung unter einem Hut vereint. Mit alten Strukturen geht das nicht. Hebel 3: Das externe Lab – raus aus der Lähmung Warum wird das alles in deutschen Unternehmen so selten systematisch angegangen? Weil zehn Leute mitzureden haben. Weil der Betriebsrat viele Sachen nicht will. Wegen DSGVO, Compliance, Governance. Wegen der Fehlerkultur: Hier sind 100.000 Euro, berichten Sie in drei Monaten. Wenn dann noch keine richtigen Erfolge da sind – zack, ist die Karriere ruiniert. Aus diesen Gründen passiert intern relativ wenig. Oder es wird Klopapier gekauft. Markus' Lösung: ein externes Lab, analog zum Fraunhofer-Prinzip. Du lagerst die Entwicklung aus. Dort gelten komplett andere Spielregeln als im Mutterunternehmen: So baust du ein externes Innovationslab für deinen Vertrieb auf: 30-Tage-Entscheidungsregel: Innerhalb von 30 Tagen muss eine Entscheidung über jede Idee getroffen sein. Kein endloses Hin und Her. 90-Tage-Pilot: Innerhalb von 90 Tagen ist der Use Case pilotiert. Geschwindigkeit ist alles. Datenschutz extern lösen: Das Lab kümmert sich um DSGVO, Betriebsrat und Compliance – nicht deine interne IT. Use Cases systematisch bewerten: Wie groß ist der Impact? Wie hoch der Aufwand? Was ist das beste Verhältnis? Zurück ins Unternehmen: Wenn die Lösung läuft, holst du sie zurück und skalierst sie. Mit diesem Ansatz externalisierst du das, was du intern nicht hinbekommst. Im Lab sitzen Dienstleister, Kollegen vom Kunden und Experten. Sie definieren Use Cases, erstellen eine Roadmap und bringen die Themen schnell auf die Straße. Nach 90 Tagen hast du mega qualifizierte Leads, mega qualifizierte Tools und mega qualifizierte Prozessoptimierungen. Nicht nur im Vertrieb, sondern auch im Einkauf, in HR, in der Unternehmenskommunikation. Hebel 4: Schnittstellenprobleme mit KI lösen Jeder, dem ich das erzähle, sagt zunächst: „Bei uns ist das aber anders. Unsere Branche ist speziell. Unsere Kunden sind anders." Die grundlegenden Dinge bleiben aber gleich. Was sich in fast allen Branchen findet: eine Branchensoftware als zentrales System, dazu DATEV, Excel-Listen, diverse Spezialtools – und die reden kaum miteinander. Ein Beispiel aus der Sicherheitsbranche: Bei einem Großeinsatz wird zuerst ein Angebot an den Kunden erstellt. Dann folgt die Planung für das konkrete Event. Anschließend kommt die Zeiterfassung mit den Logins der eingesetzten Mitarbeiter. Glaubst du, es gibt einen vernünftigen Abgleich zwischen diesen Systemen? Fehlanzeige. Genau hier kommt KI ins Spiel: Sie führt verschiedene Systeme über Schnittstellen zusammen, die vorher nicht miteinander gesprochen haben. Vom analogen Mist zum optimierten Prozess Wichtig: Wenn du einen schlechten analogen Prozess einfach nur digitalisierst, hast du einen schlechten digitalen Prozess. Das bringt nichts. Die Zeitenwende ist der optimale Zeitpunkt, dein Unternehmen neu zu denken. Erst optimierst du die Prozesse und Strukturen. Dann digitalisierst du sie. Dann bringst du KI ins Spiel. Und wenn du das gemacht hast, hast du im Zweifel ein Tool, das du 1.000 anderen Unternehmen deiner Branche auch verkaufen kannst. Riesige Vertriebschancen. Ein konkretes Beispiel aus meinem Alltag: Früher war meine Kreditkartenabrechnung ein Riesenthema. Belege sammeln, am Ende des Quartals kam der Buchhalter, fragte nach fehlenden Belegen – mit wem warst du wann essen? Riesenaufwand. Heute habe ich eine App. Beim Bezahlen geht sofort ein Fenster auf: Beleg fotografieren, Gesprächspartner eintragen. Das CRM greift zu, ordnet einen Buchungssatz zu und schiebt alles automatisch in DATEV. Digitalisierter Prozess. Schneller, besser und am Ende auch billiger – weil die Buchhaltung hinten raus weniger Arbeit hat. Hebel 5: Dein digitaler Vertriebsassistent – treffe Alfred Die fünfte und letzte Stufe ist die Königsdisziplin: ein agentic AI-System, das wirklich für dich arbeitet. Markus und sein Sohn sind beide Batman-Fans. Bekanntlich heißt Batmans Butler Alfred. Genau so haben sie ihren neuen Kollegen genannt. Alfred basiert auf Open-Source-Architektur und hat alle großen Large Language Models angebunden: Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Grok. Alfred entscheidet selbst, welches Modell für welche Aufgabe am besten geeignet ist – oder am kostengünstigsten arbeitet. So sieht ein typischer Arbeitstag aus: Markus ist beim Kunden, auf dem Rückweg spricht er über WhatsApp in sein Handy: „Alfred, ich bin in 20 Minuten im Büro. Bestell beim Inder über Lieferando ein Chicken Tikka Masala. Und ich habe mit dem Kunden gerade ein größeres Projekt besprochen – Bedarfsanalyse, Workshop, Mitarbeiterinterviews, dann Training. Erstell schon mal das Angebot, du hast alle Daten." Wenn Markus im Büro ankommt, ist das Angebot zu 90 Prozent fertig. Die menschliche Verbesserungskompetenz bleibt entscheidend Wir Menschen haben eine sehr überschaubare Erstellungskompetenz. Wenn ich vor einem leeren Blatt Papier sitze und ein Marketingkonzept entwickeln soll, brauche ich Stunden. Eine KI liefert mir mit dem richtigen Befehl in Minuten eine 80-Prozent-Lösung. Was Menschen aber wirklich gut können, ist die Verbesserungskompetenz. Aus der 80-Prozent-Lösung machst du mit deiner Expertise eine 100-Prozent-Lösung. Genau deshalb glaube ich übrigens fest, dass das Thema KI im Vertrieb nicht den Tech-Companies gehört, sondern den Experten, die das Unternehmen, den Mittelstand, den Kunden verstehen. Programmieren musst du heute nicht mehr können. Das macht die KI für dich. Aber du musst das Geschäftsmodell verstehen, Erfahrungswissen mitbringen und die Kunden kennen. Auf dieser Basis bauen wir saubere Strukturen und saubere Prozesse. Mein Tipp aus dem Alltag: Wann immer mir jemand eine Aufgabe stellt, über deren Beantwortung ich länger als fünf Sekunden nachdenken müsste, mache ich das sofort mit meinem KI-Agenten. Die 5-Sekunden-Regel ist Gold wert. Quick Takeaways: Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse auf einen Blick Geschwindigkeit als entscheidender Faktor: ChatGPT erreichte in 3 Jahren 1,2 Milliarden Nutzer – Veränderungen geschehen heute exponentiell schneller als früher. Klopapier-Falle vermeiden: Aktionismus ohne Strategie schadet mehr, als er nützt. Erst Vision, dann Struktur, dann Tools. Social Listening schlägt Cold Calling: Hochqualifizierte Leads auf dem Silbertablett statt 98 Prozent Streuverlust. Externes Lab nutzen: Was intern nicht geht, kannst du auslagern – mit 30-Tage-Entscheidungen und 90-Tage-Piloten. Strukturen neu denken: Marketing, Sales, Datenmanagement und KI gehören in eine integrierte Einheit – nicht in Silos. Digitaler Assistent als Game Changer: Ein agentic AI-System wie „Alfred" erledigt 80 Prozent der Vertriebsadministration für dich. Experten schlagen Techies: Wer Unternehmen, Mittelstand und Kunden versteht, schafft mit KI nachhaltigen Mehrwert. Fazit: Jetzt ist die Goldgräberzeit Wir reden viel von Krise, Unsicherheit und schwierigen Zeiten. Ein Historiker hat es kürzlich treffend formuliert: Die letzten 50 bis 60 Jahre nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg waren eine absolute Ausnahmesituation. Das, was wir jetzt erleben, ist eigentlich die Normalzeit der Menschheitsgeschichte. Und schau dir an, wann die wirklich großen Unternehmen gegründet worden sind: meistens nicht in den guten Zeiten, sondern in Krisenzeiten. Weil ihre Gründer Trends erkannt haben, die andere übersehen haben. Genau deshalb ist jetzt eine Goldgräberzeit. Es gibt überall Chancen, wenn du sie sehen willst. Den Kopf in den Sand zu stecken hilft nicht – die anderen laufen dann an dir vorbei. Stell dir die Bezos-Frage: Wenn Bezos morgen dein Unternehmen kaufen würde, was würde er anders machen? Welche Stärken hat dein Unternehmen, die mit Digitalisierung und KI im Vertrieb auf das Zehnfache skaliert werden könnten? Mein Call to Action: Buche dir ein Strategiegespräch mit Markus und mir. Wir nehmen uns eine Stunde Zeit, schauen uns deine aktuellen Herausforderungen an und zeigen dir aus unserem Erfahrungshintergrund, wie du schnell zum Hightech-Vertrieb wirst. Die ersten drei, die sich anmelden, bekommen außerdem zwei Bestsellerbücher von Markus obendrauf. FAQ: Die wichtigsten Fragen rund um KI im Vertrieb Was bedeutet Hightech-Vertrieb im Mittelstand konkret? Hightech-Vertrieb bedeutet, dass deine Vertriebsorganisation modern aufgestellt ist – mit aktueller Technologie, intelligenten Prozessen und einer Struktur, die zur heutigen Zeit passt. Es geht darum, KI im Vertrieb, Social Listening, datenbasierte Lead-Qualifizierung und digitale Assistenten so einzusetzen, dass dein Team mehr Umsatz und Marge generiert – und sich gleichzeitig auf das Menschliche konzentrieren kann. Wie kann ich meinen Vertrieb digitalisieren, ohne riesige Budgets zu haben? Das Schöne an aktueller KI-Technologie ist, dass du mit überschaubaren finanziellen Mitteln viel erreichen kannst. Starte mit einem Erkenntnis-Workshop, identifiziere die größten Hebel und beginne mit konkreten Use Cases statt mit Großprojekten. Ein externes Lab kann helfen, schnell Ergebnisse zu liefern, ohne deine interne IT zu blockieren. Was ist Social Listening und wie hilft es im B2B-Vertrieb? Social Listening bedeutet, dass KI öffentlich verfügbare Daten aus Social Media, Pressemitteilungen und Bewertungen analysiert und daraus Verkaufschancen identifiziert. Im B2B kannst du so gezielt Unternehmen finden, die gerade mit ihrem aktuellen Anbieter unzufrieden sind oder deren Verträge auslaufen – inklusive der relevanten Entscheider. Wie überwinde ich interne Widerstände wie DSGVO oder Compliance? Diese Themen sind real, aber lösbar. Ein externes Innovationslab kümmert sich um diese Hürden, weil dort andere Spielregeln gelten als im Mutterunternehmen. So kannst du innerhalb von 90 Tagen pilotieren, was intern jahrelang dauern würde – und holst die fertige Lösung dann zurück ins Unternehmen. Ersetzt KI den Vertriebsmitarbeiter? Nein, im Gegenteil. KI nimmt dir die Routinearbeit ab – CRM-Pflege, Besuchsberichte, Angebotserstellung. Damit kannst du dich auf das konzentrieren, was nur Menschen können: echte Beziehungen aufbauen, Vertrauen schaffen, komplexe Verhandlungen führen. KI macht Vertrieb wieder menschlicher. Sag mir deine Meinung Ich bin echt gespannt: Wo stehst du gerade beim Thema KI im Vertrieb? Bist du schon mitten in der Umsetzung oder noch im Klopapier-Modus? Schreib mir deine Erfahrungen, deine Herausforderungen oder deine Erfolgsgeschichten in die Kommentare. Und wenn dir diese Folge weitergeholfen hat, dann teile sie gerne mit deinem Netzwerk. Welcher der fünf Hebel ist für dich der spannendste?

You know what you should be doing. More sleep. Better recovery. Less time running on empty. You have known it for years. So has every burned-out doctor, executive, and elite athlete Andrew May has ever worked with. The problem is not knowledge. It is the gap between knowing and doing. And most people are misdiagnosing the reason for that gap entirely.Andrew May is a Mental Skills and Leadership Coach who has worked with ASX executives, elite sporting teams (Wallabies), and the Australian Defence Force. Andrew gets honest about his own near-burnout at 40, what it took to turn it around, and why even the most informed, high-functioning people are still getting recovery wrong.From there, it gets practical. What strategic recovery actually looks like inside a high-demand schedule. Why most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. The exercise prescription that builds real performance capacity without flogging yourself. And how to finally close the gap between what you know and what you do.This one is for doctors. It is also for anyone who has been running hard for too long and suspects the wheels are starting to wobble.00:00 Burnout rates in medicine are above 80%, yet doctors know more about the body than almost anyone.

Backstage. Heart hammering. Sweat beading. Every mental tool in the toolkit, breathing, self-talk, all of it, failed Dr Michael Gervais in real time.Michael is one of the world's leading performance psychologists and was moments away from presenting to the international body of sports psychologists. The researcher whose theory he was challenging was sitting in the front row. And he was falling apart.What pulled him back had nothing to do with technique. It was accidental. Mundane, even. And it became the foundation of a 27-year daily practice that he still runs today.Presence is not a personality trait. It is not something you either have or you don't. It is a trainable skill, and most of us have never once trained it deliberately.This conversation will change how you think about pressure, performance, and what it actually means to show up when the moment counts.You can find Dr Michael at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmichaelgervais/Listen to the Finding Mastery Podcast: https://findingmastery.com/You can find JC at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-clarke-1152a065/?originalSubdomain=au Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Most people think they're pretty good at reading people. Maz Farrelly says they're not, including you. Maz has sat across from more than 20,000 people across 30 years of television production. Big Brother. X Factor. Celebrity Apprentice. She has watched people try to hide, perform, charm and deceive their way through a room. She knows exactly what they're doing.Maz shares what three decades of casting, producing and reading talent has taught her about human behaviour, and why most of us are missing signals that are right in front of us. She unpacks her ABCDE framework for reading anyone in the first minute, explains why the word "authentic" is almost always a red flag, and tells the story of the moment Arnold Schwarzenegger taught her something fundamental about how culture actually travels through a team.30 years of watching humans perform under pressure will teach you things no leadership course ever could.If you want to get better at reading people, hiring well, or simply understanding what you're signalling before you open your mouth, this conversation will change how you walk into your next room.00:00 Meet Maz Farrelly — 30 years, 20,000+ interviews, Big Brother to X Factor02:37 Can you spot a star before they blow up?

What happens when a driven, ambitious woman who has spent her entire career climbing suddenly realizes she needs to stop long enough to breathe?In this episode, Barb sits down with construction industry leader, speaker, and business advisor Kelli Paskert for a conversation that starts with leadership ambition and career growth… and eventually lands on something many high performers struggle with: learning how to step away.Kelli shares her journey from corporate America to the construction industry, the bold decision to openly state her leadership ambitions early in her career, the resistance she encountered along the way, and the sponsors who helped pull her up the ladder. She also opens up about what happened when she finally walked away from a long-term executive role and why taking time between careers became one of the healthiest decisions she has ever made.Although this episode centers around the idea of "Take the Vacation," if you are familiar with Barb's book, OneLadder to Leadership, you will recognize several real-world examples of the Missing, Broken Sticky, & Slippery Rungs discussed throughout the book:• women communicating ambition and career goals• sponsorship and advocacy• leadership perception• confidence vs. arrogance• navigating leadership as women in predominantly male industries• and the importance of visibility during the climbThis conversation gives you the opportunity to hear what those ladder dynamics sound like in real life through Kelli's personal experiences and reflections. Whether you are climbing the ladder yourself, leading others, or simply trying to figure out how to build a successful career without losing yourself in the process, this episode delivers honest conversation, laughter, insight, and probably a few moments that hit closer to home than expected.Listen now and then... schedule the vacation!Connect with Kelli on LinkedInCheck out her websitePurchase Barb's book, OneLadder to LeadershipLooking for a Construction Industry Speaker that has Real Construction Experience?

8 blokes showed up to help a mate with prostate cancer. They cleaned his house, mowed his lawn, scrubbed his kitchen. 3 hours of work. No gym. No program. No heart rate monitor.Dr Paul Batman ran the numbers afterwards and told them what they'd actually done. The equivalent of three five-hour marathons.Most of us have been thinking about movement the wrong way. We wait for the perfect workout, the blocked hour, the gym membership we'll actually use. Meanwhile the people living longest are the ones carrying their own groceries, climbing their own stairs, and mowing their own lawns.Dr Paul Batman is an exercise physiologist, university academic, and one of Australia's leading voices on active living. In this conversation, he breaks down what METs actually mean, why fitness snacks work, and how to build more movement into the life you already have, without overhauling any of it.You can find Dr Paul at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-paul-batman-9092a052/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Most conversations about ADHD stop at the diagnosis. This one goes further.ADHD expert, Lindy Hadges, gets specific across the three groups where ADHD is most misunderstood and most consequential: high performers in business and sport; women, who are being diagnosed in their mid-50s after decades of masking; and children, whose ADHD behaviours look very different at home than at school.Lindy is an ADHD specialist, clinician, and director of the ADHD Foundation Australia. She brings science, honesty and genuine compassion to a conversation that is long overdue.If someone in your life needed to hear this, send it to them.1:45 Why the 9 to 5 desk job is one of the worst environments for the ADHD brain, and what works instead.4:20 Brain breaks, pulsing and the panoramic gaze: practical strategies for ADHD in a corporate role.5:55 How the ADHD brain self-medicates with stress, deadlines and adrenaline, and why that often backfires.7:40 Why ADHD brains need protein every two hours, and why fasting may be working against the ADHD brain.12:15 The only way to recharge an ADHD brain to 100% and why it has to be done alone.15:15 ADHD and sleep: why the brain skips REM, the long term costs of that, and what magnesium can do about it.17:50 Why ADHD people need a body double, what that relationship looks like when done well, and how to avoid making it exploitative.22:20 Self disclosure at work: who to tell, what to say, and why transparency protects the whole team.27:30 ADHD in women: why it's chronically underdiagnosed and why menopause is one of the most common triggers for late diagnosis.31:05 The grief of late diagnosis at 55: finally understanding three failed marriages.33:40 Lindy's choice to homeschool five children, and what the classroom gets fundamentally wrong for ADHD kids.37:25 The brain girdle: why ADHD children behave at school and fall apart at home, and what parents can do.41:35 Practical school advice: Montessori, monthly brain break days, and what good classrooms can look like.47:30 What Lindy wants to see in the next ten years: moving past both deficit language and toxic positivity.50:25 Where to get help: ADHD Foundation Australia, low-cost counselling, and the next practical step to take today.View the ADHD Cake model: https://performanceintelligence.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ADHD-Cake-of-Understanding.pngFind out more about the ADHD Foundation: https://adhdfoundation.org.au/about-usConnect with Lindy: https://ccaa.net.au/practitioner/200102-14/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Happy Mindset Monday!This conversation changed how I think about my body. This conversation is about Conscious Wellness™️The Dance between Scientific Medicine & Spiritual Medicine™️Lea Llovio is known as the "doc whisperer." She's a conscious wellness thought leader who helps high achievers identify the thought patterns that drain energy and delay healing.She said: "Your cells are listening to you. And if your cells hear you feeling guilty or ashamed, they go into panic mode and cannot do their healing work."That stopped me.Lea teaches what she calls conscious wellness. The dance between scientific medicine and spiritual medicine.We talked about how everything that happens to you started with a thought.Thought → Emotion → Action → Result.About radical self-acceptance. Not self-love yet. Because many people have never experienced love.About talking to yourself the way you would your most precious child.About guilt affecting high achievers. About the body as a sacred vessel that deserves reverence.About you can't be angry and thankful at the same time.

A leader from one of Australia's biggest banks called Andrea Clarke with a problem. 5000 employees. 1 AI tool. 0 opens.Not one person had clicked the app.Andrea's response wasn't to talk about technology. It was to talk about fear. Because what that leader was really dealing with wasn't a training gap or a communication failure. It was something older and more fundamental: we are not wired for change. We are wired to protect what we have, conserve energy, and stay exactly where we feel safe.Status. Identity. The quiet confidence of knowing how to do your job well. AI doesn't just threaten people's roles. It threatens all of it at once.Andrea Clarke is one of Australia's leading voices on change leadership, and in this Bite Size she makes a case that most leaders aren't ready to hear: the problem with your AI rollout started before you introduced the tool. You skipped the conversation people actually needed. Still on the fence? Andrea has these words: Redeploy yourself before AI redeploys you.Subscribe to the Performance Intelligence Podcast for more.You can find Andrea at her website: https://www.andreaclarke.com.au/Or at her LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreaclarke2020 Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

You've probably heard the word ADHD more times than you can count. You might even use it yourself. But if someone asked you to explain what is actually happening in the brain of a person living with it, could you?Most people can't. And that gap, between the label and the reality, is where a lot of pain lives.Lindy Hadges is a Psychotherapist, ADHD expert, and board member of the ADHD Foundation Australia. With 16 years in clinical practice and hundreds of clients behind her, she is not here to give you a textbook definition. She is here to tell you what she has seen in the room, across careers, relationships, and decades of misdiagnosis. And she does not hold back.This conversation will shift something for you.

Happy Mindset Monday!This conversation is raw.Jonathan Berryhill grew up in a mobile home with holes in the floor. On his own at 15. Now he's a multi-business owner with three real estate brokerages, government contracting, healthcare, and a farm with quarter horses.But he didn't skip the middle part.The part where he became unfaithful to his wife. Multiple times. Where he was drifting. Where he called her from Hawaii and said: "If you'll have me back, I'm going to give you an amazing life."That became his why.This conversation is about owning what you've done. Forgiving yourself. Creating a new identity. And building the life you said you were going to build.Jonathan said: "Discipline outweighs motivation 10 to one."

Happy Mindset Monday!This conversation stopped me.Jamie Lerner said: "If it's a negative thought, it's not your inner voice."Jamie helps people reframe what they're feeling, reconnect with themselves, and shift out of the stories that keep them stuck.We talked about the stories we tell ourselves. The stories we inherited from childhood that we're still reciting. Stories that aren't even true anymore.Jamie said: "We update our phones. We update everything. But we don't update our story."We talked about looking inward instead of seeking external validation. Doing the inner work privately. Giving yourself what you want others to give you.The difference between needing people and desiring people.Why judgment is a sign you're disconnected from yourself.

Happy Mindset Monday!Melanie Curtis is a professional skydiver with 12,000+ skydives and 30+ years in the sport. She's a world record holder. One of 80 women jumping out of five aircraft, going upside down at 200 mph.But this episode isn't about skydiving.It's about what Melanie learned in the most intense environment imaginable and how she helps people access the far reaches of their human potential.We talk about Type 2 fun: stuff that's fun only after it's over. Hard things. Climbing mountains. Writing books. Deep healing work.We talk about the fear of humiliation. Being willing to look stupid. Earning confidence through doing scary things.We talk about healing versus self-care. Support systems. Ambition as a dirty word when it shouldn't be.Melanie said: "We cannot access the far reaches of our human experience without going down and to the left. If we go there, we can go so much further because we don't know what's actually weighing us down."

In this episode of the Constructive Behaviors Podcast, I sit down with Kimberly Sauceda to talk about what it really takes to build strong relationships at work-and why those relationships are often the difference between teams that struggle and teams that thrive.Kimberly shares her journey from leading roles in major companies like Apple and Logitech to becoming an executive coach focused on helping leaders and teams create better connections and stronger outcomes.We dive into her "build the bridge" concept, what it means to create real connection instead of just going through the motions, and how small, intentional actions can completely shift the way teams work together.We also talk about:Why one person can start building the bridgeThe difference between transactional vs. relational interactionsHow expectations, alignment, and curiosity impact team dynamicsAnd how to repair relationships when things break downIf you've ever felt the tension of misalignment, poor communication, or just "not clicking" with someone at work, this episode will give you practical ways to approach those situations differently.Looking for a Construction Industry Speaker that has Real Construction Experience?

Happy Mindset Monday!Jack Wagoner is 19 years old. At 17, he was standing in front of a mirror in France, completely burned out after achieving everything he set out to do. And he still didn't have enough.That's when he realized: He'd sacrificed the thing he wanted for the thing that was supposed to get it.Jack moved to France alone at 16 for his junior year. No baseball (which was his life). No family. No friends. Not even English.By 17, he'd learned French fluently, built a business managing four employees, and achieved thing after thing.And he was exhausted. Burned out. Still feeling like it wasn't enough.This conversation is about the duality of gratitude and ambition. How to stop attaching your self-worth to your goals. How to stand on happiness while you build instead of chasing it.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1308: Live from the New York Auto Forum (brought to you by our friends at Force Marketing), we unpack the real conversations shaping the industry, and why sometimes a chat in a hallway is more impactful than anything said on stage (did someone say ASOTU CON?)Show Notes with links:Paul and Kyle break down the real conversations shaping Q2—EV transitions, AI, global competition—and why the most important moments aren't on stage. Plus, Liza Borches shares how service innovation and community impact are redefining dealership value.The NY Auto Forum delivers high-level access, but the real value happens in small, candid conversations that shift perspective and drive collaboration.Industry focus is clear: EV adoption (especially used), AI integration, and rising global pressure—particularly from China—are top of mind.Dealers are being challenged to innovate during strong service years, not wait for downturns—especially around video inspections and transparency.Technician shortages and change resistance remain barriers, making the “why” behind new processes more critical than ever.Liza Borches: “If customers don't see the value in us being part of the process, we won't be here one day.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
