Pirates' broadcaster Neil Walker comes on The Fan Hotline to talk about the latest struggles of the team.

Your team is full of individuals with different values (preferences and styles). The question I am posing today is: do you see merit in, or do you judge, values that are different from your own?I am looking at two different values-preferences today:1. Rational vs Emotional2. Impulsive vs ThoughtfulHow do you identify with each of these paired groups? Are there people in your team with the same preference/ style as you?Are there people in your team with the opposite approach to you?Do you see merit in all approaches or do you judge those that aren't like your own?Are you benefitting from the collective intelligence your team has because of these differences, or not?Something I said today:"As a leader it's important to look at the team as a whole and ask if you're fully utilising your collective intelligence - which means valuing different approaches to solving problems as being equally worthy."

I use the DISC assessment with every client and team I work with and have found it to be a real game-changer for the entire team.

Inherent to being a leader is leading others.  You are not doing the work or creating the results alone. But it's more than handing out assignments and holding others to it...it's about inspiring, engaging and getting the best out of others.   It's about genuine, authentic connection.  It's about helping others own where they thrive, work on what needs working on, honoring their experiences and knowing the value of their contribution. It's what humans crave and what your team deserves.   When you, as the leader, master the art of having this awareness about those you lead...it's magic. In this episode - I tell you why this matters. Enjoy!

Knowing your team as a manager gives you huge advantages to improve team performance. Get the most out of your team by getting to know your team on more than a superficial level.I share 12 actions to step change team performance through knowing your team a lot better.When you know your team's strengths and weaknesses, you can play to strengths and avoid weaknesses. Do this consistently and you will increase team performance. Great managers know their team on a more detailed level that average managers. Everyone on any team is different. Part of good team management is understanding those differences and combining them to create a team that works well together, relies on each other, and utilises all the strengths and talents in the team to produce great team performance.   When you know your teams strengths and weaknesses, and each individual in the team, you can adapt your approach, your management style and how you communicate so that you improve how you work with the team.By making the time and effort to get to know your team, you demonstrate you care, your interest and both massively help increase trust and appreciation. This in turn helps you build stronger relationships with the team members. All essential ingredients to step change team performance. I share 7 specific areas that I look to get to know about each team member such as their energy levels and ambitions as well as the more obvious skills and experiences they have. Good team performance management is knowing how to utilise the strengths of the team and cover any weaknesses. I share 5 actions that focus on achieving both of these day in day out. I personally think it is next to impossible to improve team performance in a meaningful way without getting to know your team in depth. Not taking the step of getting to know your team would be like a carpenter having little clue about the tools they are working with. The outcome is unlikely to be good. Make the time to get to each of your team members and flex how you approach and work with each person to get the best from them. This creates a great foundation to significantly increase team performance.If you have any questions on “12 Actions to Step-Change Team Performance Through Knowing Your Team”, please email me at support@enhance.training and I will get back to you. Jess ColesEnhance.training,

We catch up on Clark's satan membership with Lu. The guys don't all share a favorite team when it comes to the NFL. So they've decided to see how much they know about their “favorite” football team. Basically NFL trivia. Find out who the real fan is of their favorite team.

If you've ever asked yourself, "How do I fix my team?" then keep listening. The answer is simple, but it's not always easy. I had to deal with this in my career, too. Early on, I'm almost embarrassed to tell you how horrible I was. The better I got as a leader, the better my team got. So today, I want to look at some pointers and things that you can do as a leader that can help you end up with a better team.

In this episode, we introduce a practice we do at Wildsparq called Dream Sessions. These are conversations we have with everyone to better understand their career and life aspirations and ensure we are aligned on the journey.

Action-centred leadership asks managers to juggle three priorities: the team, the task and the individual. and in this conversation Pilar and Tim discuss one-on-one meetings, one of the best tools that managers have to work on their relationship with an individual employee. Over coffee we talk about the nuances of this style of meeting and the myriad ways managers can benefit from them. Spoiler alert: Tim is a huge fan of one-on-one meetings. Today's shows are full of links, and one or two analogies! 00:00 mins We open with Tim sharing that he's only ever had one-on-ones as the manager, never the employee. 2:30 According to the Fellow.app guide to one-on-ones you should factor in the frequency of your current work communication when setting the pattern of your one-on-ones. 3:45 Employees benefit from getting their manager's undivided attention. It feels good! 5:30 One-on-ones are particularly important for relationship building in a remote work environment, where a manager and their direct report are unlikely to "bump into" each other. 9:00 Managers can get lots of benefits from one-on-ones. It's a great place for coaching. And also for managers to dust off their technical knowledge and share it. 11:00 Tim enjoyed using one-on-ones to practice things he found challenging. Which leads to Tim sharing his "work is like a video game" analogy. 14:10 Pilar quotes from Redesigning Work by Linda Gratton where Tata Consulting found managers who initiated frequent one-to-one meetings with their team members had the highest performing teams. 14:50 Manuela Bárcenas wrote an amazingly comprehensive guide to one-on-ones for Fellow. Artemis Connection made a nice short video for how employees can get the most from them. 15:30 Even if managers don't love one-on-ones they are valuable and we need to find ways to be effective at them. Tim took a long time to feel comfortable and relied on the Know Your Team application to provide him with structure. And excellent question cards from the 1:1 starter pack and manager pack produced by Jen Dary at Be Plucky. 18:30 Having a regular one-on-one schedule is helpful to make sure that issues will be discussed. 19:40 The one-on-one is the direct report's meeting. They should get priority in setting the agenda and items for discussion. But the manager still needs to be prepared just in case the employee doesn't bring an agenda. 20:50 Tim found that when he was managing managers the one-on-ones were an important place to build alignment on big picture topics like strategy, culture and values. 22:45 It's easy to slip into operational mode. But much of the value in one-on-ones comes from it being a discussion space that is free from operational issues. 25:50 Just because it's not operational it doesn't have to be personal. There is still a lot that you can discuss. Which leads Tim to a new analogy: work is like a soap opera. What about you, dear listener? Do you do one-on-ones? Are they valuable?

In this episode of The Property Hustlers Show, we are joined by Ibrahim Hussein of Affinity Real Estate who shares with us his ideas and philosophies on Life, Business & Real Estate. Ibrahim is a Founder of Affinity Real Estate which is a leading team of eXp Realty. We discuss the reasons behind the success of his real estate team and why they are the best real estate brokerage. The Ontario real estate market is going through changes and many people are looking into how to become a real estate in Ontario. But if you want to become the BEST real estate agent, you must make sure to choose the best real estate brokerage for new agents in order to grow and scale.Being a realtor is really understanding how to start a real estate business because that is what you would be doing. Although, running your own business and being self employed can be taxing and difficult needing to work with a team fostering a culture that understands work life balance. Ibrahims team fosters exactly that by making sure they provide their realtor partners with all the tools they need to grow and scale their real estate business and their goals.

So today, I want to look at some pointers and things that you can do as a leader that can help you end up with a better team.

Do you know how your team likes to learn? This is not Personality Style, but specifically how they prefer to take in and process information? This is such an important element to learn, especially as Sales Leaders where we will be coaching, mentoring and sometimes teaching & training. Being able to identify your people's learning style and then adapt your delivery to match that learning style, will lead to highly successful outcomes.

These podcast episodes may have been released much earlier, but this was the fortnight when I started sharing links to them to my social network followers. DIMITAR KARAIVANOV ON AGILE ATELIER The Agile Atelier podcast featured Dimitar Karaivanov with host Rahul Bhattacharya. Dimitar is an expert on scaling Kanban. Dimitar thinks of Agile as a company sport rather than a team sport. At the team level, scaling is horizontal. The more interesting kind of scaling to Dimitar is vertical scaling. If you have a hundred or a thousand teams, the real challenge is the coordination piece on top of those teams and the strategic piece on top of that. If you don’t have an optimized coordination layer that reduces the number of things the organization is working on, your organization is spread too thin. He explained the importance of teamwork and coordination using the metaphor of a band of musicians. Scaling Kanban starts with a single team. What Dimitar likes about Kanban is that if you follow the basic rules, it always results in some kind of improvement. Next, we want to connect the teams to a management layer that performs the coordination activities. People often perceive Kanban as a visual board with some sticky notes on it. Actually, if you go horizontally, then vertically, it is more of an instrumentation facility for your organization. Like a performance profiling tool, you connect Kanban to your organization and it provides entry points with time stamps and starts collecting data. With this profiler, you can dig in and find out what the slowest part of your organization is. Rahul asked about roles in scaled Kanban. Dimitar says there are only two specialized roles called out in Kanban: the service delivery manager and the service request manager. Because one of the principles of Kanban is to start where you are, you do not have to change a lot about roles when you start using Kanban. The service request manager role just means having someone who is responsible for requesting work, such as product manager. The service delivery manager just needs to be someone who is responsible for ensuring the work gets done. This could be a Scrum Master or maybe just a team lead. If the organization is adopting Kanban as a whole, you will need someone on the strategic level that is connected to the Kanban system and has a say in what gets done and when. Rahul asked about failures Dimitar has seen. Dimitar has seen problems in which training just the teams and expecting this to lead to business agility failed. Another route to failure was relying on tools to do all of the work of creating agility. He says you need people with personal agility. You need to find these people or stimulate your existing people to grow themselves so that they become agile in their mindset.

Randy started by asking Claire if she’s ever accidentally been anybody’s worst boss. This was the question that Claire herself had asked at the Business of Software conference in her talk, “The Accidental Bad Manager.” She says that, based on her data, the answer is “probably.” She says that 85% of the time companies are choosing the wrong manager or promoting the wrong people into the role. They’re choosing for a manager those individuals who were showing excellent skills and outcomes as an individual contributor, but those skills don’t transfer over when they become a manager. Claire cited a Gallup study that found that there are five to seven traits that characterize the best managers and, yet, only one in ten managers possesses these traits inherently. Claire created Know Your Team because she herself had a really bad boss and he had no idea. The first thing that made this boss so bad was that he didn’t follow through on his commitments. Looking back, she sees this as a classic case of failing to build trust because he made promises and didn’t deliver. When leaders think about trust, oftentimes their minds go to likability, team-building, and images of trust falls and happy hours. None of those things have to do with real trust, which is the ability to show people that you will do what you say. A second thing that made this boss so bad was that he lacked an ability to communicate and share vision. This is a common problem because most of us get the definition of vision wrong. Claire says that vision is not what you do and it’s not how you do it; it is where you’re going. Vision is the strongest motivating force in a team and the most clarifying force for decision-making. Neither motivation nor decision-making were tenable under her bad boss because the vision wasn’t clear. Lily asked how Claire designed Know Your Team. Claire says that the number of conceptions of leadership is as large as the number of people who have attempted to define the term. She believes the reason there are so many definitions of leadership and the reason that there is no agreed upon best approach to leadership is because, most of the time, the right thing to do is highly dependent on many factors: your own disposition, the team’s disposition, team dynamics, the market, the task at hand, etc. So the best thing to do is to compile as much data as possible and determine the two or three best things to focus on. The best managers, she says, tend to focus on three things. First is trust. Second is honesty. Third is being able to create context in a team, that is, being able to understand and share where you are trying to go and what progress is being made along the way. Lily asked how these areas of focus compare with the traits in the Gallup study Claire mentioned earlier. Claire says that the Gallup study identified temperamental characteristics like positive thinking, good judgment, and empathy, and Claire’s areas of focus represent the skills you can build and the things that you can do to make your team run better. But there are connections between the Gallup characteristics and Claire’s areas of focus: you need empathy to build trust, and you need good judgement to create context. Randy asks why managers are the last to know that they are bad at this. Claire says the psychological reason is that we create a narrative for ourselves that fits with a coherent positive self-image. More practically, we are complicit in being the last to know for several reasons, including the fact that we don’t create an environment for people to tell us. As a result, people don’t speak up in the workplace and this is because of fear and a sense of futility; they believe that nothing would change. To resolve this, we need to be able to ask for feedback in the right way and we have to act on that feedback. To ask for feedback in the right way, we need to be vulnerable. Tell people you are struggling. When you go first and you come from a place of vulnerability, you give the other person permission to be vulnerable themselves and you defuse the element of fear. You also need to be specific. You can’t ask, “How’s it going?” Instead, ask something like, “What is one thing that we could have done better in the past quarter?” or “When is the last time you felt frustrated with your work?” or “Have you observed any micro-managing tendencies from me in the past few months?” or “Have we been all talk and no action on anything lately?” Next, you need to act on the feedback. If asking questions is all about defusing fear, acting on the feedback is all about defusing futility. When you show people that their feedback is not in vain, that helps people to speak up. Some people think this means having to implement every single piece of feedback. Not at all. Acting on feedback can be as simple as thanking someone for their feedback or explaining why you are not doing something. As leaders, we often explain why we are doing something but we forget to share why we are not doing something. The best way to modulate and calibrate the other person’s expectations so that they don’t think speaking up is futile is to say, “You’re not likely to see a ton of progress on this in the beginning but I will give you regular updates on the progress.” And then make sure you give those updates. Another best practice for creating an environment where you are not the last to know is to ask people what their preferences are around feedback. They may want an email, a slack message, or a phone call. Another preference we often forget to ask about is how quickly to give feedback. They may want it right away, or scheduled for the next day or the next week. A third preference is their orientation toward conflict. Do they believe that conflict is healthy and necessary to be productive in a team or do they much prefer a low-conflict environment? A manager should not just be looking to be a great manager or leader but to be the best manager or leader for each particular person and to know that this is going to require customizing your approach to every individual. Randy asked what lessons people can learn about leadership if they don’t have direct reports but need to be able to influence without power. Claire says leadership is not about your title or the number of direct reports you have. At its most core form, leadership is about modeling the behavior that you want to be true of your team. Say you are so annoyed that your entire team is always late for meetings and late on deadlines. Instead of thinking you need to speak to someone or to manage up, one effective way of exhibiting leadership is to turn to yourself and ask, “To what degree can I model the behavior I would like to be true of the team?” A second way to exhibit leadership is to consider how you, as a teammate, can create an environment for those around you to do their best work. Apple Podcasts link:  Website link:  ERIC WILLEKE ON AGILE AMPED The Agile Amped podcast featured Eric Willeke with host Leslie Morse. The first and most critical thing Eric learned about WIP, or work in process, is to pay attention to how WIP cascades and multiplies in an organization. A single piece of strategic WIP equals hundreds to thousands of pieces of individual WIP. A lot of good work comes from corporate strategies, but there is too much of it. Eric gave an example of a VP of product management whose work he helped visualize. They discovered that he had 38 initiatives that he had to report on for his eight teams. When you look at that kind of flood, there is little wonder that we are creating an inability to focus and limit work in process. Eric no longer looks at the executive ranks and says they are to blame. He owns up to it and says that we are all to blame. He now feels empathy for the powerlessness that senior leaders feel in spite of their titles and maybe even because of their titles since those titles carry with them a kind of trap. Eric has three strategies that he uses at organizations to reduce their WIP problems: 1) Start with alignment. Make sure people understand intent and purpose. Eliminate the excess WIP that comes from the “Am I in the right direction?” question. 2) Practice reduction in depth. According to Michael Porter, the essence of a good strategy is what you’re not doing. Help people learn what is not part of the strategy and generate focus. You may have to repeat yourself because, as Patrick Lencioni says, “You only get one message per quarter and you need to say that message hundreds of times.” 3) Create permission and safety as part of how you decentralize. When you decentralize, people need to have all the permission to take responsibility and the safety to try things, learn, and experience the associated failures that come with learning. The conversation with leaders to get them to limit WIP is difficult. The leader starts with the best of intentions. If you come in too strongly with a message that they are doing it wrong, you are saying, “You were trying really hard in the best way you know how and you failed.” They didn’t. They were not responsible, necessarily, for all of the different pieces of WIP or how it cascaded, yet they have to take responsibility for helping people set things down. One leader Eric is working with understands this and uses a quarterly message that says, “You may put things down, but you need to put them down gently.” A lot of people look at WIP and say, “We just need to throw away half the items in process.” But that hurts people, hurts initiatives, and hurts business leaders. So we need to know how to carefully set down the things we’re not going to do yet and bring everybody else along.

Mike is the former Chief Analytics Officer for justgiving.com, which uses machine learning to try to increase generosity in the UK. When Mike joined, the company had in excess of ten years of data on people raising and giving money for causes they cared about. They used their technology to get a signal about what people were passionate about and used this to match people to causes. They started by using a collaborative filter approach like Amazon’s “people who purchased your item also tend to purchase these items”, but charitable giving is so personal that collaborative filtering doesn’t work. Instead, using Nicholas Christakis’ research, they could see that connections between individuals could help them understand the flow of generosity and the flow of the things that are important to people. Mike says that a lot of large companies talk about the fancy things they do with machine learning and data science like Facebook’s EdgeRank or Amazon’s and Netflix’s recommendation engines, but sometimes there are use cases that are unsexy but deliver a huge amount of value. For example, when people put a fundraising page on JustGiving, they have the option to specify a target. Only 30% of fundraisers were specifying such a target, but Mike found that this behavior led to much more money raised. So Mike created a machine learning system that predicted how much a fundraiser was likely to raise and pre-populated the target field. This was a lot of work to deliver one number on a screen, but this feature delivered an additional 7% on a 400 million pound business.  His approach to understanding where AI can deliver business value is to look at every business as a system of people making decisions, whether it’s marketers, product teams, or users. When you look at a product this way, the machine learning use cases float to the surface. You see where machine learning can make a decision more efficient, more automated, or more predictable. You then add a metric to each decision and see how decisions relate to each other or how they relate to key metrics you are trying to move. Your data is quite unique to your business and your product. It acts like a fingerprint. One of the risks of data science is that it is an experiment every time you do it. Even if somebody else has done it before, you have no guarantee that when you do it you will get a successful result. Product management teams that work with data science teams need to be aware that data science is not the same as delivering a feature with a software development team. It is an experiment. You have a question in mind and you have no idea whether or not the research will produce the result you’re expecting. Lily asked Mike how he recommends people hire a data scientist. Mike says he is very much against the idea of hiring a data scientist just because they have a PhD. That’s a massive risk. You could get a PhD-holding job candidate who only understands regression and is not numerate enough to try a lot of the different algorithms that data scientists use. Mike himself looks for data scientists who have real life experience. This doesn’t mean they’ve worked in a lot of companies before. It means they’ve got things that they’ve produced. You can read and study, he says, but if you’ve never done it, you won’t know the gotchas and foibles that come with working with data. Randy asked if there any guidelines or cheat sheets for people to educate themselves about bias in data collection, in algorithms, in assumptions, and in interpretation. Mike created a non-technical course for executives, product managers, and founders because they know their business better than the data scientists, in most cases. They add a layer of domain knowledge that helps reduce risk due to bias.

She also loves helping the managers, directors, and VPs to interact better with the teams so that the teams become empowered. Colleen is a fan of invitation-based coaching and making sure the people understand the whys behind the change, what it looks like in the anticipated end state, and what steps the team may take to move towards that vision they’ve identified. Colleen says that the first thing she does when she comes into a brand new organization is she tries to understand the whys behind their decisions. “Why did you choose to use Agile?” If what she hears is, “Twice the work in half the time,” then she knows that she might have to reset expectations. Before starting an Agile adoption, Colleen gets everyone to think about the answers to some common questions like, “Why are we doing this? What’s in our way? What’s in our favor?” She says that if the leadership makes changes without involvement of the people, they are going to miss out on a valuable perspective. Colleen says that the people who hire her often think that she is going to come into their organization and make huge, sweeping changes. Instead, in the very beginning, it is often small changes like connecting what a development team is doing with what an operations team is doing.

We find that conviction often leads to great product stories, and today’s is no different. Christian came across our guest on Twitter, and the more digging he did, the more interested in her story he became. Claire Lew is the CEO of Know Your Team, a software that helps you become a better manager. Claire is passionately focused on helping leaders become better at leading, and her story to success is driven by a philosophical approach. In fact, that approach led to some unexpected turns that have transformed the possibilities for what Know Your Team could actually become. As the company changed - and as you’ll hear, quite literally everything changed - the pricing model transitioned right along with the philosophy of the company. But How? Why?

There's a point in life, somewhere around the halfway mark, where the reality check hits -- you're going to die. There's a future without you in it. There's a new generation of children growing up, learning their way through the world, and humanity will keep moving forward without you. On one hand, this is depressing. Everyday, we go through the motions. Everyday, we play the game. And suddenly, it all seems so meaningless. The characteristic period of "mid-life crisis" starts with falling into a pit of nihilistic despair, and a quest to answer the most basic existential questions. Does anything really matter? Who am I? What do I live for? On the other side of these questions, something magical happens. The finiteness of Life is also what gives it meaning. Every breath is something to cherish. Every joyful memory is a gift. And right now, in this moment, we have the opportunity to live and be, whoever it is we want to be. Who are your heroes? Who do you admire? What character do you want to play? How can you use your special gifts to lift the people around you? Like a cacoon-shattering phase change, a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, we become an Elder, a steward, and a leader that works on behalf of the children of our future. This audio clip is a conversation between Claire Lew (https://twitter.com/clairejlew), CEO of Know Your Team (https://knowyourteam.com/) & Arty Starr (https://twitter.com/janellekz) about the journey of becoming an Elder, and why Arty decided to change her name.

El trabajo de manager en programación no es una promoción sino un cambio total de profesión. Hoy le dedicamos un episodio a la transición que vive un desarrollador de software cuando pasa de un rol de contribuidor individual a uno del lado de management. Explicamos las diferencias entre trabajar para uno mismo y trabajar dirigiendo a otros, por qué es erróneo pensar que es una consecución lógica del programador experimentado y cuáles son los mayores retos cuando asumes este nuevo rol.

Hi this The Leadership Boost with your host Shaun Smit Title: Leaders Engage Your Team: Know Your Team I am Shaun Smit Leadership Mentor Boosting your leadership into high performance. This is Episode 29 The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team. Phil Jackson To do their jobs effectively, leaders must prioritize the people on their team. Your staff is your greatest asset, and as a manager you should know as much as possible about each person and how they contribute to the overall success of the business. Many executives and managers say: “I know their names, and their job titles. What more do I need to know?” But a team or a staff is not made up of a random "them", your team are individuals each with an individual journey, individual hopes dreams and aspirations, stresses and mechanisms for coping. Each is engaged at a different level with varying levels of potential. As a leader, you need to know what it is to engage them effectively. Get to know your team members as people. When you take the time and effort to reveal your humanity and get to know others as more than a worker, you build trust. When you do that it also has a wonderful leveling effect. Simon Coleman The bottom line you have to your people as more then a tool or a mechanism in your system. They are your greatest asset, and to build trust with them makes you a leader. When you have built that relationship of trust, that what makes you a good leader. It means that you will have to reveal some of your humanity. That's what will engage them effectively. I sat with a CEO one and he said to me after I asked him “What do you see in your team?”: “You know”, he said, “I see the capacity for greater performance. I see at least 30% more performance in my team!” I asked: “What will it take?” He answered: “They need to …” and he began to rattle off several things they need to do. But immediately I said: “Let's begin with you.” As the CEO he needed to engage his team and bring them to that level of performance that he wanted. You need to sit down, list your staff or employees or team members, and begin to know them. At what level are they functioning? How committed are they? How engaged are they? What is their potential? You need to begin there, and understand each individual where they are, so that you can begin to engage them effectively.

Most entrepreneurs avoid trying to understand what is going on in their team’s lives. It seems easier if we just don't get involved and the less we know the better. After all if we find out something is going on, won't they want us to help? Expect special treatment? If we don't know what is going on in our teams lives, we are constantly exposed. I have always understood every executive I have had on a personal basis. And someone has understood where everyone in my organization is on a personal basis. This way when someone had something going on, we were aware of it. We could plan around it. Sit down with them them and help them with perspectives. And make sure that they didn't miss in a way that effected our clients.

Let’s dive into the role of Builder on your project. Duayne Pearce is a Brisbane-based licensed Builder, with over 20 years experience.   Now Duayne is someone, like me, who is passionate about helping educate homeowners about how to get the best outcomes from their building or renovation project. So, Duayne and I first connected on social media and I’ve followed Duayne for a while now. He creates these great short videos that he shares on his facebook page to show things to be aware of and mistakes to avoid in your project – usually shot on site as he uncovers previous work that’s not been done well. This is the first time Duayne and I have met in person, so it’s great to have him joining me on this episode.  So Duayne is half the force behind D Pearce Constructions, which is award-winning construction company based in Scarborough, Queensland. That’s on the outskirts of Brisbane for those who don’t know where Scarborough is.   He and his wife Camille, run the business. They specialise in quality high-end residential renovations and new builds, and have worked with many of Queensland's best architects and trades.   Their mission is to be acknowledged as an industry leader by building well-designed, functional homes. And this is where I really connect with Duayne, because he gets the power of design in creating a great lifestyle for a homeowner in their finished home.  Duayne has completed over 70 residential projects, varying from small renovations to large architectural homes. The company has also received many awards, and Duayne himself was recognized with the Queensland Master Builders Rising Star Award in 2010.  Duayne believes that building should be an enjoyable process. He’s passionate about creating positive experiences for builders and clients. In addition to building quality homes, Duayne also facilitates free consumer seminars called “Build Your Knowledge”. So these seminars help homeowners understand the building process, and ask questions from someone who does it everyday.  He also runs networking and information events for builders called Builders Unite. These events are focused on helping builders connect with each other, and improve their processes via networking and exchanging feedback.  So, perhaps you can see now why I thought he was the perfect builder to get on this last episode of Season 4, Know Your Team.   It’s great to sit down with Duayne and talk about the role of the Builder. I hear so often from homeowners their nerves around choosing the right builder for them. And so it’s super critical to know what to look for, how to choose, and how to be sure you’re finding the best fit for you and your project. Duayne helps us, from his perspective, understand how to do this well.  This is about the WHO, the WHAT, the WHEN and the WHY of using a Builder for your renovation or building project.   Our “Get it Right” podcast partner for Season 4 is COLORBOND® steel and their Matt range.  COLORBOND® steel Matt is a great choice for creating a stunning, sophisticated and subtle look for your home. With a beautiful and neutral look, it has an elegance I know you’ll love, and diffuses light for a soft, natural, textured finish.   And not only does COLORBOND® steel Matt look gorgeous … It’s also durable, strong, 100% recyclable, high tech, tested and designed for the Australian climate, a choice for bushfire zones, able to give your home a contemporary and sophisticated feel, AND has 50 years of history behind it as a brand.  Head to www.colorbond.com/undercoverarchitect for more info  FOR RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST CLICK HERE

Season 4 is called “Know Your Team”, and in this season, we’ll be exploring the roles of the various professionals that can help you when you’re designing, building or renovating your home.  Often homeowners tell me that they’re confused about who they need to get on their team and which person or role they hire first. And this is the thing about the construction industry … there are loads of different specialisations and professional roles. To be honest, it can be confusing to know:  who does what  who is necessary and compulsory, vs who you might feel you need help from  who is really going to help you achieve what you want to do  what these different professionals will all cost  where to find them  how to make sure they’re a good fit for you and your needs  when you need to get them on board  and why you need to get them involved in your project  So that’s what Season 4 is all about.   Regardless of where in Australia – or in fact the world – you might be listening to this podcast, there are going to be some amazing tips and information for you in this season. My guests are all incredibly experienced, and have been amazingly generous in providing their expertise and knowledge as we talk about their role in renovations and new builds.  I can’t wait to get this season kicked off. So, join me next time for an overview of the many and varied roles you can have on your project – whether you’re building or renovating your home.  And then from the following episode, we start the interviews. There are 10 episodes where I speak to the 10 key professionals you are most likely to come into contact with, need the help of, or want to consider for your new home or renovation project.  I worked out that, between all my guests, there’s over 160 years of experience in the residential industry of design, building and renovating … so this an extraordinary brains trust I’m tapping into!   I’m really hoping this Season 4 helps you understand more about the various professions that can assist you with bringing your home dreams to life. And their key tips on getting it right in your project.  Listen to the podcast now.  Our “Get it Right” podcast partner for Season 4 is COLORBOND® steel and their Matt range.  COLORBOND® steel Matt is a great choice for creating a stunning, sophisticated and subtle look for your home.

Great Britain are about to play Australia in the host nation’s first Davis Cup by BNP Paribas semifinal for 34 years, and as well as previewing the tie in Glasgow, The Tennis Podcast has spoken exclusively to both teams to find out more about them.    For instance, which of them would get on best at Strictly Come Dancing? Who knows their capital cities? And who spends the most time in front of the mirror? As you will hear, the team members on the respective teams do not always agree…   Fun and games aside, the talk of the town, and the podcast, was that of Captain Leon Smith’s decision to choose Dan Evans as the No.2 singles player in place of James Ward and Kyle Edmund, who are both higher ranked.   How big of a risk is it? Will it be a mistake or a masterstroke? The Telegraph’s Tennis Correspondent Simon Briggs talks it through with presenters David Law and Catherine Whitaker, and we hear the reasons given by Leon Smith, and the verdict of Andy Murray.    Predictions for the tie as a whole are...
