The Voiceover Actor Road Map About Emma: Emma O'Neill is a multi-award-winning voice actor specializing in radio and TV commercials, TV narration, TV promo, and corporate training videos. Outside the booth, she's a fitness and wellness enthusiast, and has been a certified yoga instructor for more than 25 years. About Mike: Mike Tobin is an accomplished, Montreal-born, award-nominated voice actor, MC, and event announcer who has made his ultra-fluent bilingualism the cornerstone of his brand for more than 20 years. He also loves technology and is an avid Mac enthusiast. What it's like to be a voiceover actor in Canada. And it can be very isolating and very lonely. So when you have people that understand the business, they understand the hustle. They understand the self-doubt that can come with things during slow times, or, you know, I was talking to somebody yesterday, and it was, you know, why them and not me that you can get into these spins in your head. And when you have someone who understands all of the levels of that, it's just; it makes you feel less crazy, it makes you feel less alone, it makes you feel like, you know what, I can reach out to Mike today, I have a little bit, and with Mike and I, it's great because we work so closely together, we've kind of gotten to this place where if I'm losing my mind, he's calm, and if he's losing his mind, I'm calm, so it's like, oh, this works, this is great, thank you. The universe's wind blows at different times. Part of this comes from our leaning on using accountability groups, which is a big part of our experience. So we do have our accountability groups that we lean on, but sometimes you just need one person. Weekly accountability group: At the beginning of every session, I say, okay, what did you do from this last week to this week? And in the end, what are you going to do? And we get into that and how important that is. So, I love that you guys are talking about weekly accountability. There are the things that are there regularly. There are, of course, auditions. Audition has to play a big part in every voice actor's life. There's only a few things you're going to get. Unless you're getting direct clients, which is another part of it, which is marketing and following up and keeping on top of all the business aspects of it, it's so huge. Many people who are creative, artistic, and talented get into this industry and this business—all the things that put a voice to a microphone, but then everything else. It can be very scary and intimidating for them because, after all, it's the voiceover business. You can have clients around the world. It doesn't matter, especially now with the connectivity that we have with Source Connect and other technologies. So it comes from all over the place. I love that you said that voiceover is a global industry. I love that. It's just because there's so much possibility. What do you think is the most important thing starting in Voiceover? Coaching. I always say coaching is the most important thing. There's voiceover, and there's voice acting. And there are people who don't do commercials. They don't do video games. They don't do audiobooks. They don't do character-based work. They do e-learning and corporate and stuff like that, which is still character-based, but it's much more accessible to the average person. You're not necessarily fully fleshing out a character. There's a commercial promo TV narration, things like that; you are fully fleshing out a character, but you still need to understand the nuance. Acting is acting. Period. End of sentence. It's got nothing to do with the sound of your voice but everything to do with the connection to the story. So, you need to understand the story you are telling. Once you understand the story you're telling and who you are in that story, whether you're just the storyteller or actually participating in the story, you can do whatever aspect of voice. So I think that with that, with getting it telling the story, this is the difference between voice acting and voiceover, is that I think that with AI coming in, and it's not going to go away. We need to work with it and understand it that as a voice actor, to be able to connect with the story, that part of voice isn't going to be taken over by AI. Because a computer can't yet do that. Acting is key. Learning the craft is key. I will say that people need to have some foundations in business in general. So they need to educate themselves and train themselves on basic things. I was listening to a show on the radio recently. They were talking about how many people now entering the workforce force don't have what we call many of the soft skills that are just expected of people in business, how to write a good email, how to handle yourself on a telephone call, how to, handle yourself in a meeting, either face to face with a real person or over video conferencing. So, many of the soft skills required to have a successful business need to be there to support your craft. The craft is great. You need it. You need to train to differentiate yourself, but if you can't deal with people, sell yourself, and market yourself, you'll be a great actor but won't make any money. Talk to me about AI. What are your thoughts about AI? AI, synthetic voice, generative voice, anything that is learning. It's not going to go away. And it's something that we need to be on top of, and I watch other actors who are much more advanced in their career than I am. When this became a thing, they jumped on it immediately, created their own avatar voice, and are using it for all sorts of things. I think with any new technology; there's always the fear, right? And because, yes, anything new, especially in technology, can be used for not the greater good as we're seeing already, there are also fantastic things that can come from this. It's just like a voice actor putting, creating your own synthetic voice. You can use that for pickups and long-form narration. You can use that; you're getting on a plane on vacation, and your agent's I need this audition now. And you're like, I am sitting on the plane. You've already got your different voices put into whatever version you're using, whatever platform you're using. So, the 11 labs. For example, you can put feed corporate, your corporate voice in your radio voice in all of your different voices and create like voice one through 10. And so this particular copy, you just feed the text into the AI and it spits it back out in your voice. And you just like. Let them know this is my AI voice. It's not actually me, but at least they get their copy in my voice. They can hear the basics of how this would sound and I can do and there's been so many stories of people doing that and getting off the plane, they've booked the job. Let me ask you, because devil's advocate here, my question is aren't you afraid that they will then take your voice and then just use it and not pay you? I am a cautious skeptic when it comes to the state of AI in voiceover right now. And part of that I think stems from looking at past disruptions of industry. If we take, for example the music industry. The music industry was disrupted in a big way when file sharing started. And to, to what Emma was saying nefarious characters, even though people didn't think they were doing any harm by, sending 500 files over the internet, over Napster in the middle of the night that led to some big changes in the music industry. I would say, you don't need to look very far and headlines and things like that is that the artists still haven't really recovered. I would think I think that there's ripple effects that even go beyond You know the fact that a stream only pays zero point zero zero, whatever how many cents? And I could you know one could argue this is what possibly led to the craze of crazy concert ticket prices and things like that because artists want to make their money and that's where they can do it. To bring it back to voiceover. I think what Emma said that it's not going away, it's there. We need to make ourselves aware. We need to find a way that we can. Leverage this into our own business model. I really praise people like Nava who are doing great things for the industry and who really have our backs and are trying. But like any technological thing the industry, and the technology itself moves forward very quickly, and the legislation and all the protections and the ethics of the whole thing tends to have to catch up. And that's the concern. I agree with what you say that's the concern is there. Is someone going to take our voice and use it without our consent? That is a big worry. But What I'm hearing is that there are technologies that are coming into play that will hopefully protect us. Are we there yet? Doesn't sound like it, but it's coming. So things are moving at light speed. So definitely a finger on the pulse. Let's keep our head up and eyes open and we'll see what happens. It's the importance of having a contract going back. This is a business. You have to have a contract with all of your clients and a contract can be as simple as an email exchange. Once it's writing, it's a contract, but AI specifically working with companies to create synthetic voice to create your own synthetic voice and allowing them to then use said voice to create content. The contract has to be rock solid and there are loads of people in this industry who are really well versed in contract that are willing to review contracts for you. So it's talking about contracts, understanding contracts, what needs to be in the contract, so that it's, this is for this job or for this series of jobs. It's not for anything else. If it changes, you must come back to me with the change. And like I was saying, there's a lot of different technologies that are coming in that it's like, you can water stamp your audio that is not audible to the human ear, no one would ever hear it, but it's, you can track it. I really hope that those technologies that are going to help protect our voice prints and things like that really come to fruition in a very robust way. You go on YouTube, for example, and you search I was watching a video on how to use this AI technology that's built into some of the photo and video editing software. And the person, the content creator says, I'm going to show you how to do this. And this is the tool that you use. And then he says look, when you do this, you'll see that it. It puts a stamp, like a watermark down at the bottom that it says it was created with this technology. Now, let me show you how to remove that watermark. Hopefully we don't experience that kind of thing. What's one business skill that you think is super, super important? I think one of the skills that needs to be honed for many people is the ability to search for information and to vet that information on your own to decide is this good, valid information or is it not. Because we live in an age you can learn to do anything. YouTube University, let me tell you, if your washing machine is stuck and won't turn on, there's a YouTube video that's going to tell you how to fix it. I'm saying the skill to be able to find information that you need. And decide, is this from a source that I trust, is vetted, and then to take that information and take action upon it. I think that's a really critical skill, not just in voiceover but in anything. Networking. Learning how to network and understanding that networking is about relationships. It's not about shoving your business card down someone's throat. It's not about dumping your demos into someone's inbox. It's about getting to know who you're speaking to as a person. Because people are people, at the end of the day, yeah, as a casting director, as a coach, it's a producer, it's a roster, whatever. It's an agent. It's a person. It's a person who has interests outside of the acting world, outside of voiceover. Yeah. Get to know people as people. Build your network and make it into your community. Connect with people as humans, become friends with them. And that's how you're going to build your business is by having people as friends.

This week the podcast welcomes “Mr Carp Angle” Joe Morgan.Joe is a truly unique, charismatic man who has a host of incredible carp captures under his belt. He prefers to keep relatively low key with his captures and we think you'll be surprised by some of the fish that have ended up (or almost ended up) in his landing net over the years. Joe has spent a considerable amount of time working within the industry. He began at the early age of just seventeen working as a bailiff on the famous French holiday complex “Dream Lakes”, he then when onto work for Korda before being the face of Carp Tv. He sets the record sraight around the end of Carp Tv and his involvement as well as talking about his (and camera man Mike Tobin) motivations to start his recent epic carping YouTube channel Carp Angle.Joe recalls his carp fishing campaign in pursuit of “Dippy” from the infamous Snake Pit. He recalls the struggles, successes and how he ultimately managed to bank this most sought after of carp.He has historically had a scary affinity for big commons and talks through his capture of The Wood Common from Spitfire pool, one of the widely regarded hardest to catch of carp from a tricky intimate venue. Couple this with an epic tale about the Burghfield common and you will see for yourselves that Joe certainly has friends in pretty high places.Joe goes onto talk about his more recent campaign on Northwyke where with a few elements that “stretched” the rules he managed to cradle the incredible freak of carping nature that is “James' Fish”.Throughout the podcast Joe referances his mindset, spirituality and life experiances he's had during his travels across the globe. He's an enlightened man with a positive and infectious outlook on life that has undoubltely crossed over to his angling. He talks about his other passions outside of carp fishing namely his love for music and music events.The later part of the podcast Joe discusses the keys to his recent success on Longreach and the Meadows where the fishing is anything but for the feint hearted and where Joe still pursues his target of the Friendly Common.Joe certainly is unique and his passion, hard work and love for carp fishing is truly inspirational as you will find over the next two hours.

On the latest Hemmer Time podcast, Bill sits down with FOX News Senior Correspondent, Mike Tobin, to discuss the latest on the Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis.  Mike explains that with all the video evidence in the trial it’s hard to imagine the jury finding Derek Chauvin not guilty, but it will ultimately come down to the severity of his charges. Mike also explains why the jury can, in fact, come to an objective decision, however, they’re also aware of the impact this decision will have, not only on the city of Minneapolis, but the entire country.   Follow Bill on Twitter: @BillHemmer

On this episode of Music: Cover to Covered, my guests are Cult Stars From Mars – a band formerly known as Fuzzbubble. There was so much to cover that we needed TWO episodes to fit it all, so they are showcased in Episodes 5 AND 6! Originating from Long Island, NY in the late ‘90's, Fuzzbubble was a ‘power pop' band in the vein of The Beatles, Cheap Trick and Jellyfish…but with their own unique signature. 20 years later, they have come back together as Cult Stars From Mars and have picked up right where they left off. In Episode 5, we discuss their origins and introduction to music growing up in Long Island as well as how the music scene changed over the years through the ‘80's and ‘90's as they gigged in different bands. Then, we fast forward to today and discuss how they came back together, WHY they came back together, and we showcase their first new single – “Dragonfly Pt. II” featuring Mike Portnoy (Metal Allegiance, Winery Dogs, ex-Dream Theater) on drums. You can see the video for this song on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/86xpCck2lnU (https://youtu.be/86xpCck2lnU) Since this became a double episode, I again enlisted Mike Tobin to join me for a special edition of: ‘This Song Sucks' – where we go toe-to-toe in DISAGREEMENT over Cheap Trick's huge selling ballad, “The Flame” from their 1988 hit album, Lap of Luxury. You can check out Cult Stars From Mars and Fuzzbubble on Apple Music and Spotify as well as on Band Camp: https://cultstarsfrommars.bandcamp.com/ (https://cultstarsfrommars.bandcamp.com/) AND, check out their podcast, Podcast from Mars, available on Apple Podcasts, etc… I've made a playlist on Spotify showcasing some Fuzzbubble and CSFM songs – just search 'Music: Cover to Covered episode 5' and it should pop up.  There is also a running 'This Song Sucks' playlist on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6EgrgvHN8eBceobBrr2Kmk?si=eyvetT54RFGXqMTN6Cptqw (Click Here ) for the playlist and make your own mind up if these songs suck…but they DO Suck!

This is a 'solo' episode of M:C2C - meaning, I have no guest this episode. Why? Because there is an election coming up and I wanted to discuss voting - why you should do it and why you shouldn't tell anyone who YOU are voting for! DISCLAIMER - I am speaking for no one but myself and not on behalf of anyone else. These opinions are mine and mine alone. If you agree, fine. If you don't, fine. This is not a political discussion - it is, if anything, a discussion on how to keep your friends DURING an election cycle!!! Next, I give my first listen review of Mr. Bungle's latest release "Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo" released on Ipecac Records - spoiler: IT'S AWESOME!!! And since there is no special guest this week, I present a DOUBLE SHOT of our recurring segment "This Song Sucks", which DOES feature my guest from our first episode - Mike Tobin of Arista Recording artist, Stick. When Mike was in, we put a few sessions in the can as I knew I would have to use them at some point - so here is one of them! This time around we focus on the mighty Led Zeppelin and their not-so-mighty songs "Hot Dog" from the album 'In Through The Out Door' and "Candy Store Rock" from the album 'Presence'. Both are Atlantic Records releases, in case you wanna judge for yourself if these songs suck...but they really, really do...trust us.

President Trump will be going to Kenosha, Wisconsin today, where he claims his insistence to have the National Guard sent in saved the city from more deaths and injuries. Jacob Blake was shot seven times by police and left paralyzed, sparking this violence. Mike Tobin, Fox News Senior Correspondent was there for several days witnessing it all unfold. Tobin discusses what it was like on the ground during the civil unrest where he saw two protesters get shot. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told lawmakers that his office will be scaling back in-person briefings on election security to Congress. Instead they are providing written reports, in hopes to cut back on leaking. Democrats, who have blamed the Trump administration in the past for downplaying election threats, especially from Russia, are slamming the decision. Fox News Contributor and former CIA Station Chief, Daniel Hoffman weighs in on the decision and tells the "Rundown" why both parties need to put the politics aside. Plus, commentary by Robert Jeffress, Fox News contributor and pastor of the Dallas First Baptist Church. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I am Steve Rush and I am your host today. I am the author of Leadership Cake. I am a transformation consultant and leadership coach. I cannot wait to start sharing all things leadership with you.   Steve Rush: Delighted to introduce our first duo on The Leadership Hacker Podcast.

It is The Leadership Hacker News.   The Leadership Hacker News   Steve Rush: One-mans dream to spend three years sailing solo round a Pacific nearly turned to disaster after borders started closing around the region; leaving him stranded alone at sea for several months. While people around the globe were, panic buying, stocking up, he was running low on food and fuel as he sailed between islands trying to find somewhere to dock. The sailor who only shared his surname, named himself as Mr. Wong set off from his home country of Singapore on the 2nd of February.   It was an adventure that the 59 year old experienced sailor had been meticulously planning for years. Everything from the exact amount of fuel he would need, weather conditions, food and places that he intended to visit. The one thing he had not planned on, of course, was a global pandemic. The plan was to set sail from Singapore to Polynesia, a journey that would take roughly four months in his yacht. Once there, he would spend, time exploring the region by land and by sea but he would soon learn that even his best-laid plans could go awry, especially in the face of a global pandemic. In late February, he left Indonesia on route for his next destination of Papua New Guinea; where he planned to stock up on fuel and food but a few days in Indonesia. While in Indonesia water, his autopilot broke and when he tried to anchor, he was told that the lockdown had already begun, the Pandemic had arrived and he was chased away. He eventually stopped at a remote Island. Where about 20 or 30 families lived there. They had no TV, no telephone and no communication with the outside world and they had not heard of a lockdown or a pandemic. As soon as he shared the news, however, they chased him off the Island and almost every stop off he could find also chased him away.   He kept on sailing by the 21st of April, he reached waters just outside Tuvalu, a tiny Island in the Pacific ocean. He was still about two hours from land when maritime officials who again told him he needed to leave and despite his plea, it fell on deaf ears, but they said no. Thankfully, he soon received word that the Fiji government had agreed to take him in and despite an horrendous experience, Mr. Wong was now safe. If we can consider the leadership and self-leadership parallels here, what might seem really counterintuitive for us all is to plan for what is completely unexpected, the crazy wildcard outcomes, so strategically, if we could be prepared when things go wrong, so as leaders just keep asking. What if? And we can unlock some great strategic thinking. That's been a The Leadership Hacker News. If you have any news, insights or interesting stories that you would like listeners to hear, please get in touch.   Start of Interview   Steve Rush: Excited to be joined today by Ian Mills and Mark Ridley. They are the co-founders of Transform Performance International and they have co-authored a number of books, the latest being The Leaders Secret Code. Ian, Mark welcome to The Leadership Hacker Podcast.   Both Speakers: Thank you Steve.   Steve Rush: You are our first duo on the show, so I am really excited that we've got two leaders to hack into and two great brains to hack into some ideas and some thoughts today. But you guys have been a duo for a while, so I know that certainly from business perspective you work together, but how did you both meet and how have you arrived here?   Ian Mills: Mark and I met some 25 years or so ago when Mark was running a team of financial advisors for a retail bank in Exeter, Devon and I was the regional manager for that bank. And I remember very well my first meeting with Mark, I plan to meet this new leader and our organization. I had heard a lot of great things about him. I planned to take him out for lunch and I now know that in hindsight, Mark was imagining now that I was going to take him out for a very nice steak and a glass of red wine. In fact, I took him to McDonald's and I think that tells you a lot about our different perspective on motivation, leadership and the way in which you engage them, build a successful teams.   Mark Ridley: I would say just add to that, I pull Ian's leg remorselessly over the fact that he took me to McDonald's for my lunch. To our conversation today, Steve, because at the end of the day, at the time, what I witnessed, I did not know it at the time, but what I was witnessing was a belief system from Ian in a style of leadership around focus and a practicality and you know, just getting things done. Whereas I wanted to spend more, time and be more affiliative and get to know this person. So the image of two guys sitting in pinstripe suits somewhere in deepest dark as Devon. Surrounded by kids on half term holiday trying to eat a burger on our first meeting in polite company. You can imagine that for me that was anathema and for Ian it was just business as usual. It is a real interesting way in which we often think about our behaviours and our beliefs. We think they are okay, but others perceive them very differently.   Steve Rush: It just goes to show, doesn't it Mark that people have a different lens from which they look through and as leaders we need to be really aware of that. Now, Transform Performance International. Just give us a little bit of a summary as to what you currently do and how you can really help your clients.   Ian Mills: Transform Performance International is a performance enhancement consultancy; we work with famous name organizations all over the world. In fact, we have worked in some 50 or so countries for organizations like HP, Cisco, Deloitte, American Express and many more to help them. Predominantly through people changing the way they perform. That might mean changing behaviours. It might be changing a culture. It might mean changing the way the organization engages with their customers and it might mean change the way they lead in a VUCA world. A volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.   Steve Rush: Having learned from many, many of your clients and indeed working with each other, you have penned a number of books together, the most recent being The Leader's Secret Code. What was the inspiration for the book?   Ian Mills: The inspiration for the book was…The catalyst for the book was the fact that I am a member of a group in London called the entrepreneurs exchange. I meet with small intimate groups of entrepreneurs over dinner and typically, you hear one of them sharing their story. One of the things that I found over a number of years is that whilst this group is not in my target market for my business, I found their stories inspirational, intriguing, and beautifully articulated. On reflection one evening, I thought if only I could bought the magic of the way in which they share their success story that would be worth a lot of money. And I remember phoning Mark and say, Mark, I have the title of the book and the title of the book is The Entrepreneur's Secret Code and we just need to get on and write it. Well that started a, a dialogue around, well should we really write about entrepreneurs? And in fact, we actually started research into selling and the reason we did that is we believe that everybody sells. Whether you are a leader trying to influence your organization or whether you are a parent trying to influence your children to get a bed on time or frankly. Whether you are a sales person or indeed an entrepreneur seeking to grow a business, so that was our first book. It is almost, I guess an obvious move to then consider how do we then do research into leadership and share the findings in a similar book and that book became The Leaders Secret Code that we're here to share with you.   Steve Rush: And I am guessing that having that foundation in research and academia removed some ambiguity away from where people might apply their own thinking in their own lenses. Is that right?   Mark Ridley: What we have learned about research is really quite fantastic Steve. If anybody out there is thinking about doing this for themselves, I'd really urge them to give it a go but do absolutely take your idea and then work with somebody who's got that experience of doing the research because the whole thing will be enriched. It is really has been excellent.   Steve Rush: And Mark, your book has been described when you read it is a bit like dipping into a box of your favourite chocolates, which sounds absolutely delicious. How does it make it so tactile for readers to dip into understanding how they go about The Secret Code?   Mark Ridley: Well that was a massive compliment. I was really gratified to read it. It is a great question because I think it goes to the heart of the philosophy that whenever we interact with people in business no matter what, project we are on, the metaphor of the chocolates I think is all around the different flavours. Everyone will have their favourite chocolate. You know, I know in the old quality street, I like the heart caramel and they took it out. So all of those kinds of things will resonate the people when they look into a book. We deliberately did not write a book that you could literally open up the first page and feel that you have to work your way through it. I am sort of going to sound like I am a poacher turn gamekeeper but, I have never been a particular fan of business books. I have always used them as a reference point. I have rarely read a book cover to cover and I was acutely aware even when we wrote the Salesperson's Secret Code that what we wanted was, these different flavours and different chapters, different ideas, you know, to mix our metaphors. Sort of a smorgasbord of different things to tempt you rather than to have to Wade your way through something that was turgid from page one right through to page 155 or whatever.   Steve Rush: And that is the appeal I guess for those people who love to read from cover to cover; They can do that, my learning style is fairly similar Mark and having read your book, what I found myself being able to do is just to dip in and you know, and also re-reference some of those things when I was particularly looking at some of the things I was working on too. So I can, I can resonate with that for sure.   Mark Ridley: Every chapter is written in a particular way that even when you read the body of the chapter, there is hints and tips on the psychology that we have applied. There is little reference points, there is little stories that people can dip into, so we have attempted to address every learning style even in every chapter. You could read each chapter once a month and still get something from it.   Steve Rush: And those iconic leader stories I thought were great by the way and maybe we could just kick around a couple of those, so I read something that you captured from Michael Tobin who was an OBE. Who ended up taking his team Bobsleigh to help them understand their approach tell us a little bit about that?   Ian Mills: Yes, Michael Tobin or Mike Tobin is one of the iconic leaders that we profiled in the book. Anyone who reads the book will find that yes, we have data based on a thousand leaders, but we decided to profile a number of what we call iconic leaders who display many of the attributes that the research suggests sets top performing leaders apart. Mike Tobin is one of them. One of the things that he does that is, particularly impressive is he uses metaphor as a mechanism to convey a message to dealership teams around the change that he desires. So a good example of that is that one of his frustrations when he was running a public company was that his sales organization seemed to have a frenzy around the quarter end and hitting the sales targets, and he wanted to change their mind-set.   So one of the things that he did is he took them to an Olympic bobsled run. This is the sales leadership team and the reason of that is if you push harder at the beginning, you go faster at the end. And what he wanted the leaders to do is to recalibrate the way they lead their teams when he got back to the operations headquartered in the UK and in fact, one of the things that sets him apart, I think is his, creativity, his innovation, his different way of looking at things. I have already shared the bobsled story.   Another example is that he had a, an executive leadership team that in his opinion lacked the bravery to take the business to the, next stage and what he chose to do is to take that executive team swimming with sharks. And the reason he did that is that he believed that they would learn what it is like to face fear and they would be able to translate those behaviours back into the workplace. And of course, as you can probably imagine, there is nothing quite as scary as facing off to real sharks under the water, so it should be relatively easy to face the challenges and the struggles that they may be facing in the business environment.   Steve Rush: And for those leaders have got that cyclical business. For me, when I read that, it was just a great metaphor, but not only is it a metaphor, you can visualize how wonderful would it be to create an experiential metaphor so people can really make that connection. And I think that's the difference between what Mike Tobin did and what others may have said and done. You have a number of iconic leader stories in the Secret Code of your number of stories you have. Do you have a favourite?   Ian Mills: One of the leaders that we profiled that I particularly enjoyed the conversation With was James Knight. James at the time was a major in the Royal Marines. He has a military cross, which I think says something about his, achievements and James is unlike what many of us might imagine a military leader to be like, which before I met James, you know, I imagined it to be quite a command and control. Quite a structured, dictatorial type approach. Whereas what I find with James is a very sophisticated, very curious, very empathetic, very engaging leader. One of the things that he said to me or one of the quotes that he gave me that I feel says an awful lot about James. Is he said to me Ian be interested, not interesting, and that is a good example of a belief that he holds that causes him to behave in a way that is congruent with that belief.   Steve Rush: And the belief of course that we might have is that people from an autocratic military background come with that set of rules and disciplines. And in my experience of having worked with some military leaders is quite often they're contrarian to what we might perceive. They have got that ability to be different and to be curious and be very entrepreneurial even though they have to follow strict guidelines and rules and routines. Mark, you've managed to pull together your beliefs into what you refer to now as destination beliefs and that helps people kind of focus on the key characteristics and behaviours required in order to tap into The leader's Secret Code. Can you just maybe for the listeners to share a seven destination beliefs are?   Mark Ridley: Sure, okay. Let me just briefly explain what I mean by a destination belief. You will imagine that when we asked, well over a thousand leaders for the research and a lot more since. When we asked leaders about their views of leadership, you will get repeat patterns and they will use maybe different language structure to describe those beliefs. But nevertheless, they will coalesce into, groupings of beliefs. And we bring those together almost into a set, of values if you like but, those are what the seven destination beliefs are. And the reason we gave them the destination epithet Steve, was very simply because what we realized very early on when we were writing the first book. Is that even if they don't realize it though, those core beliefs are guiding them or helping them navigate the way through what is often known as…going back to the military expression as a very VUCA world as we call it.   You know, disruptive, volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous and so on and so forth and that, is why we decided that we'd use this expression, destination beliefs. Seven core beliefs that we observed and practically every leader that we spoke to, and they are in no particular order. The first one is around control, and the destination belief that we got so often when we spoke to leaders was that, well, control matters as you might expect in a leader, but someone has to be accountable for success. Someone has to be accountable for that success, so that was control.   The next destination belief was resilience and that was really around this idea that I can withstand pressure, but the point that Ian was making a moment ago, I can withstand pressure and I can spring back into, the shape that I want. It may not be the same shape as I was before the pressure, but nevertheless I can do that and that was the sort of overarching resilience view. The next one was about influence. Practically every leader we spoke to talked about the need to be able to influence the right way. Again, you would be surprised if it was not that way, but the way we defined it was how I make things happen through other people and that was important. It is not how I make things happen. It was how I make things happen through others. Then the next belief was around communication. I mean influence in communications almost go hand in hand but, the belief there was quite simple. That every leader we spoke to understood the importance of the way, the manner and style of communication up and down the organization.   Not only with their immediate teams, however, but with wider stakeholders and audiences perhaps that are external to the business. In other words, they were always aware of the way in which they came across to other people, so that was around communication. Then we came on to strategy. Every leader we spoke to talked about the importance of having a big picture view, and we were very interested into how they came about getting that, view and so the belief is very simply. That everybody in an organization has to understand what the organizations goals are, how the organization is positioning itself and how it will best utilize its resources in order to achieve its goals, so that was the fundamental destination belief around strategy.   The next belief was around empowerment and this is often an overused expression. I can hear people sort of hearing the word empowerment and sort of metaphorically rolling of the eyes takes place. But what was really interesting was that of the successful leaders we spoke to and especially the iconic. The concept of empowerment was never far from the conversation and the destination belief there was that my role is to enable my people to feel empowered, to take the right actions and to be the best that they can be.   Fulfilment was the final destination belief, so many of the leaders talked about desire to reflect that. We might come onto that later on, reflect on success or not as the case may be, and we chose a simple mantra that when we are successful, we will probably feel fulfilment may not be everything, but when we are successful, we will probably feel fulfilment. Again, we will probably explore how people get to that feeling of success, but the overarching desire, destination belief was, look, I am here to lead, but I am here to be fulfilled for myself and probably to help others feel fulfilled too. That is a Cook's tour, Steve.   Steve Rush: It is brilliant. Yeah, it is a great lens to look through. I really like that whole kind of principle of those destination beliefs but of course, for the folks listening to this, they will all be at different stages of each of those destinations. And to help kind of with that thinking, you created what you refer to as journey motivators. Just tell us a little bit about how that works alongside the destination beliefs.   Mark Ridley: Well, basically when we were interviewing everybody we've ever spoken to in the project, and indeed, again, going back to the first book we did, we improve this methodology. We adopt and approach of interviewing people, which is a very loose conversation. I often describe it as a fireside chat, but as you will probably be aware, Steve. In our business, we do a lot of coaching and a lot of the techniques we use around coaching is to create an environment where the interviewee or the coachee creates what we call the metaphors for their own experience. When you ask direct questions, which can be very presumptive, have your own bias within them and so on and so forth, you don't always get as much out of it. So by following this semi-structured approach, sometimes it is known as clean questioning. What we discovered was that let's take control for an example.   You know I said a moment ago that the destination belief was all about someone or something being accountable for success.  What we learned is that there is a spectrum of views and as you rightly say, people will be at different points. At some point in your leadership journey, you may be in a situation where that control comes from a place of being quite directive. At other times, you might come at it from a place where you believe that perhaps it is more important to be a little more participative and then allow others to shape that direction of travel. So the idea or the concept of controlling or being participative, directive or participative, it gradually forms into these two, what we call journey motivators. The Secret Code, Steve, is the way in which the top quartile performers appear to balance those often almost opposing views, the sort of the yin and yang, the sort of opposites attract kind of thing.   So you've got in the centre there you've got almost what I'll call this constructive contention between two belief systems, so the leader who is all directive is likely to fail. The leader who is over participative is likely to lose respect. The leader who is participative but also knows how to and when to put their foot on the gas and be a bit more directive is probably the leader who is going to be the most successful and that is the process we went through with all of the seven destination beliefs to arrive at the 14 journey motivators.   Steve Rush: Super helpful to get people into that mind-set to understand you know, what their strengths and development areas are at the same time I guess.   Mark Ridley: Yes, it is and at the end of the day is a very, very brief Cook's tour of that because I know we don't have time to go through every, one of them. With resilience to the idea is that Ian already alluded to the journey motivators were about working hard and working smart. With influence, there is a manner and style, which we came to call transactional style of influence versus transformation. I won't bore you with the detail at the moment, but with communication it was around unemotional and emotional communication. Strategy was very interesting, that was around going with the gut and going, with facts and data. Empowerment was around delegating with the right degree of authority, which we called quite unambiguous empowerment versus a very ambiguous, laissez Faire kind of approach and fulfilment was around achievement for oneself versus achievement with others in an affiliative way.   Steve Rush: So really clear and easy to follow. And Ian, I understand that as a result of the large amount of research you created and your experiences, you've now taken this to another level now by kind of applying some science behind this and you're helping your clients now consider how they're approaching their leadership style using data science, AI using some psychometric testing. How did that come about?   Ian Mills: When we wrote the book. One of the key things that we decided to do from my business point of view is to enhance our value offering for our clients by building a set of tools and instruments that will help leaders become more like the top performing leader. So one of those tools is a psychometric instrument that is an online self-assessment instrument where an individual will go online, they will answer approximately a hundred questions, and as a consequence we will share with them a 20 page report that will map them against the findings of the top performing leaders. It will provide them with suggestions on what they might consider doing that will help them become a higher performing leader. Essentially, it is about self-reflection, and provocation and insight to help any leader that is curious around what they might do in order to improve the way by which they perform.   Steve Rush: Having completed it myself, I found it really helpful. It also comes with suggested development ideas across each of those belief systems as well. Some of the things to help people move beyond having an opportunity to dip into the chocolate box of The Secret Code is that whole principle of reflective learning and then what happens next. In your reports, you have a section that says, I am at score of 80, and it tells me that I am more prepared to do things. How would that be helpful for me?   Mark Ridley: Well, reflective learning and change readiness. I think are really important aspect of this you know, somebody could, you know, read a book, they could read their leader secret code report. They could, could have an experience with, a family member, with a team member. It really does not matter, but that only has meaning. If you actually then go away and reflect and think about. What did I take from that? And even if you decide that you take in a sense nothing from it and don't need to change a mind-set or a behaviour from it. The fact of the matter is you have gone through a process of reflection. I have to say I'm continually surprised by the number of people we work with who will say to us, I am so pleased that the way in which you've engaged with us has given that space to breathe and to think and to reflect.   And I've got to say, I think at the moment, given everything that's going on in everybody's world, I think that's possibly never even been more true. But most people in my experience don't go through this process of reflective learning and it's certainly in our experience, a Mark of a reasonably high level of emotional intelligence. When we do give ourselves that space and have that awareness to go away and reflect. But having reflected, of course then you have to decide if you want to do something different and if you do want to do something different, are you ready for that change? And again, in the work that we've done, Steve in organizations around the world over the last 20 years. I was particularly passionate about getting this concept across because there is no point in throwing stuff at people. Throwing new concepts, throwing ideas or whatever. If the people in the organization are not in that state of readiness to actually make that change happen, and that might be quite a long process, but I think it is important that the climate of any organization include this ability to say, well, we know what we want to do different. Come on, let's have this honest conversation. Are we truly ready to do it?   And what I like about this idea of change readiness is this idea that when you might read your secret code report, for example, you might get a surprise and you might think, you know what? That is a shock to me. I had not even thought about that but that might push you into the reflective mode, but you might not yet be ready to do anything about it. On the other hand, you might read another area of the report and you might say, yeah, you know what, that resonates with what I have already been thinking about my career or my life or my behaviours or whatever it might, be.   And that contemplate of readiness is important too. We are at different points of the cycle and what we try to do with the report is Ian his already said. Is to simply to provide some nudges or some provocations so that if people read that report and it's talking about where they are relative to other leaders, there's just some ideas there for actually taking action, which of course is the next stage of change readiness. You know, am I currently prepared to try on a new behaviour or a mind-set as a consequence of what I'm learning around me. There is a lot to change readiness and reflective learning and I think very often as leaders and organizations themselves. We overlook that we are very good at delivering stuff to people, but the way in which we implement that is very often left behind and I think a lot of programs of change could be a lot more successful if more thought was given to that.   Steve Rush: Awesome. Thank you Mark. Really, appreciate that. Now this is the part of the show where I get to hack into your minds, so I am going to ask you for your top leadership hack that you could share with our listeners. Ian I am going to start with you first. Ian what would be your top leadership hack that you could share?   Ian Mills: Well, my top leadership hack. It is the first time I have been asked a question in quite that way, but I guess if it is my message for leaders, I believe that probably the thing that would be most transformational is to model people or model leaders who do something that you would like to be able to do. So don't do that in the broadest, most general way, but find leaders who are exceptional at something. That might be the way they engage people, it might be the way they present on stage. It might be the way that they empathize, whatever that particular behaviour is that you have observed, go meet them. Go buy them a cup of coffee, go have a conversation with them and find out how they go about doing that. Why they do that? What goes on in their head? Deeply immerse yourself in what it is that they do in order you too can copy and paste that behaviour into your leadership role and I think that's the one thing that I've seen others do that can be truly transformational in that performance.   Steve Rush: Love it. Thank you very much Ian. Mark your top leadership hack, what would that be?   Mark Ridley: Well, it actually builds on what Ian just said. Taking what Ian said. The next thing for me is about being aware of the beliefs that lie behind the outcomes that you are already achieving as a leader. Because you know, we hold a belief that behind the belief will drive a behaviour and out of that behaviour you will become whatever that belief is driving you towards. So you know that mantra of believe, behave, become is very crucial. So that my, my advice would be have the courage to investigate where, your beliefs are coming from and have the courage to try on different beliefs. I often say when I am working with leaders and they say, well we can't do that, and I will turn around and say, well, okay, but what might it be like if you try? Because inviting people to try on different beliefs is so important.   A close friend of mine who has taught me a lot over my career once said to me, Mark changing beliefs is very simple. What happened the day that you first discovered that father Christmas wasn't real? I hope there is no kids listening to this, but I, you know, the world did not fall in. I adapted and I moved on and my behaviours as a consequence became different up to that point. Of course, Father Christmas was it around that Christmas time, so it demonstrates to me that very often beliefs that we hold can be faintly ridiculous and the willingness to take a long, hard look at ourselves and almost laugh at our beliefs and as he Ian said, model the beliefs that others hold, I think is liberating. It is about creating flexibility and leadership style.   Steve Rush: I love the principle of trying on a belief. I can, again, metaphorically, you can almost feel and belief like a jumper or a hat or a label that you might wear.   Mark Ridley: You got it.   Steve Rush: And of course, by doing so you might bump into revelation, which is another form of how we create our belief system in the first place in this. I now know something today that I did not know yesterday and as a result of me trying on my belief, I might find out something new.   Mark Ridley: Like, exactly, yeah. I mean one of the questions I often say to leaders is. What have you learned in the last 24 hours? And that's exactly the point you've just made, Steve and then the next question of course as well. Okay, but what could you have learned if you have chosen to learn it?   Steve Rush: Love it.   Mark Ridley: And that's often a bringing people up short moment because you realized then that, you know, very often, again, we're too busy or we haven't really got that flexibility of belief to actually notice what we could have learned had we been bothered to try on that different belief.   Steve Rush: Sure, I would like to now get into what we call Hack to Attack. So this is where with our guests, we explore something that has gone wrong in your past. Collectively in your case, maybe as a business partners or as friends and colleagues, but now as a result of that going wrong in the past, you know, use that as part of your foundations to help you in what you do for your life and your work. What would be your Hack to Attack?   Ian Mills: You ask me what has gone wrong. Well I can't think of anything of significance, but you know, a bit of course, like any business person, there are many minor things that go wrong. You lose a bid, you lose a client, somebody leaves your organization and my opinion businesses a never-ending learning journey. That does not mean that you can become perfect overnight, but what it does mean is that you can begin to adjust your behaviour as a consequence of your own personal experience of what has worked, what hasn't worked, what have you observed elsewhere and what might you do differently in order to get to your desired destination.   Steve Rush: Sure. Mark, anything else for you?   Mark Ridley: The one that is coming to my mind and as you asked the question Steve, I suppose it has been triggered by the fact that we started this conversation in an area of where Ian and I first met. I am going to spring this one on Ian. We made it a little bit of an error in our career many years ago with rabbits. And the reason we made the error with rabbits was because we use them as a rather clever marketing campaign for financial services products and genuinely we wanted to attract interest in this financial services product. Because there had been a lot of issues around the regulation of this product and it was important that customers came and talked to us about what their options were. The only problem was Steve, but we did not really do enough research into the situation and we ended up being inundated with customers who thought that we were selling fluffy toys. We launched it around March time and it coincided with Easter and people thought we were having egg race in our retail outlets and it was a, shall we say, it did not go quite according to plan, so Ian, I to this day, blame you for signing that one off actually,   Steve Rush: Then it goes back to not working with pets and animals and all the rest of it, I guess.   Mark Ridley: Well, yeah, well it does see the real takeaway was we did that in an atmosphere of speed, haste and we probably did not take enough advice and counsel from wiser Sage heads. I have always carried that lesson with me. Always ask opinions, socialize ideas, Marion Hayes, repentant leisure kind of approach.   Steve Rush: Brilliant story. Thanks for sharing it Mark. Our listeners have got some real value out of listening to our guests on the show. Explore a little bit of time travel and that is exactly what I am going to do with you now, so I am going to ask you to imagine if you would. That you are going to do a bit of time travel and pump into your 21-year-old self and you have a chance to give them that one bit of Sage advice. Ian what would your advice be to your 21 year old self?   Ian Mills: Yeah, maybe the advice as I look back at my 21-year-old self would be to make sure that you get a job with an organization called Google at the earliest possible moment. Open and broaden your lens towards the art of the possible. Be curious, try and learn about the unknown or the unknown unknowns. And that will mean that you are opening yourself up to greater choice,   Steve Rush: Early adoption to new innovation. New companies that are entering the market, Right? Awesome. How about you Mark?   Mark Mills: Yeah, I like that. Mine is a little different if I look back at my 21-year-old self, oh but of a young gun going to set the world on fire, et cetera, et cetera. Hey, we all have those dreams and aspirations and it has been a pretty fantastic life, but looking back, I think I would say to myself four words, be prepared to pause, be prepared to reflect, get better at being open, especially to ideas and thoughts that might come from sources that you would ordinarily dismiss and then be receptive. Yeah, pause, reflect, open, receive.   Steve Rush: Super advice. Thank you so much, so what is next for Transform Performance International?   Ian Mills: What is next? First, Transform Performance International. Well in my opinion, and Mark may differ is I think it is keep doing the same. What do I mean by that? What I mean by that is organizations are continuously trying to perform better. The world, as I mentioned earlier, is a VUCA world. It is becoming increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. What that means is that leaders need to think differently about how they act and how they behave and their mind-set and the whole kind of perspective on what a great job looks like. So probably, more than ever, organizations will need support from organizations like ours that can provide research that can provide insight. That can provide coaching. The main thing that I see that will change is that we need to become more digital in the way in which we deliver content. So think about this fashion right now. This is a, a podcast. When I started my career, there was no such thing as a podcast given right now, the COVID-19 situation where we might have been running a conference, a face-to-face event that is now being delivered virtually, so change is a constant a need for behaviour. Change is a constant; the way by which you deliver the change will evolve further as we go forward.   Steve Rush: So exciting times ahead. Well done. Now we are incredibly excited to be able to share The Leader's Secret Code with our listeners and in a very different way. Super grateful for you gentlemen being able to provide this service today.

On this week's Smart Sports Podcast, we are talking junior hockey. And since the Provincial Junior Hockey League kicked off over the weekend, we thought it would be great to have one of the local teams on the podcast. This week, Port Dover Sailors head coach Mike Tobin joins us. He talks about his Sailors 2019-2020 season, PJHL, the Bloomfield Division, and junior hockey in general. SHOUT OUTS • The Port Dover Steelheads bantam team continued its dominant ways this weekend in Ontario Football League action. The Steelheads crushed the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 54-0. This victory improves the Steelheads record to a perfect 3-0 so far, where they have been incredible on both sides of the ball. What's even more impressive, is the fact they haven't allowed a point against so far in the 9-vs-9 division. They began the season with a 56-0 win over Tottenham, and then beat Halton 34-0. • Hurricane Hannah Ferrell raced her way to the Strickland's Brantford Chevrolet Crate Sprint Cars checkered flag Friday night at Ohsweken Speedway.

This is my third interview with maverick tech entrepreneur Michael Tobin OBE. "Success is a journey not a destination" Michael Tobin We discuss how to get the most out of your work life balance or as he calls it work life integration. If you like the episode don't forget to share and review us! If you want to buy one of his books :- Forget Strategy Get Results Live, Love, Work, Prosper And you can visit Mike Tobin's Website Here  Nathaniel Schooler 0:23 Today, I'm interviewing MIchael Tobin OBE, and he's actually the founder of the CEO sleep out, which is a really great charitable event that happens once a year in London. He's an English technology entrepreneur, businessman and philanthropist. He was the CEO of FTSE 250 data centre operator called Telecity group. In 2014, he was awarded an OBE for his services to the digital economy in the Queen's Birthday list, and I've always really enjoyed talking with him. He's always been very generous with his time and I've learned a lot from listening to him and we're going to delve into some really, interesting topics and I think you will love this episode. It is lovely to speak to you again Mike. Michael Tobin OBE 1:08 Thank you very much it's lovely to speak with you too! Nathaniel Schooler 1:11 So today we're going to firstly talk about work life balance. I know that's a really big topic for you and you've got your kind of attitude towards it. It's more of an integration isn't it as far as far as you're concerned? Michael Tobin OBE 1:29 I think you know when you look at people that have tried to balance you know let's call it work and life and I think about the great leaders of recent times and people like Nelson Mandela who was a great inspiration to me and he was such a great leader in his time. But at home he was a disaster and you know he was divorced twice his kids were either going over his legacy before he had even passed away. And I think, you know, that's a typical example about when people are so focused on success in a certain element of their life, they feel that you know, they just cannot, they don't even have time for the other part. And you kind of wonder whether that's real success or not, you know, and once that appears to be from the outside, because you know, he changed the world to an extent, and, you know, people like Clinton, they're, you know, they're also great leaders. But again, home life, you know, let's, let's talk about it, it's a mess, right? So, you know, I think when you try to balance it, if you are truly sort of driven and truly sort of a successful or aspiring, successful person; you tend then to allow one of those two things to suffer. And I think there's a, there's a different way, a way to get out of that, I think, it is wrong, trying to balance it rather than sort of, say:- "Well, I'm going to give 100% of this, and then I'm going to stop, and then I'm going to give 100% of that." You know, if you think about it as an integration, then then you shouldn't see a difference between work and life, right? You should, it should all be the same thing. And then you can actually put 100% into it. Because it is the same thing, you're actually putting 100% into a combined environment, there's a couple of examples. I mean, that I can I can give you, but then I talked about this a lot in my second book, actually called Live, Love, Work, Prosper. Which is all about how exactly how this work life integration is the way forward. But imagine I'll just put it one specific way round in terms of male and female here, but it works either way. But let's imagine that a woman's young, young couple, young family, baby, the woman's got a sort of mid management role. She's looking for the next step on the ladder and desperate for that one promotion place that's coming up soon, so that the, you know, the family can can prosper, and they can get the next house and so on and so forth. That evening is it's coming home bit later,

Sales and success secrets to scale up your start-up. In this live interview at "The Arts Club" Dover Street Mike shares many sales and success secrets to get you rolling! Mike received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) with recognition from Her Majesty The Queen for his contribution to the UK digital economy. Personal branding was synonymous with success! In his business life Mike was CEO of Telecity, a company he helped successfully from a market cap of 6 Million to well over 3 Billion. Q: How do people stay focused on that one idea that is going to get their business rolling? Appreciating that failure is one step closer to success and working on learning about your sales metrics is key to avoid disappointment! Mike went through sales training with Brian Adam’s cousin Ian, he explained to him:- “Imagine you are a broom salesman and you go to 100 houses, 99 houses don’t want one. Statistically one in a hundred wants to buy from you so you should rejoice it when people turn you down.” I will Succeed or I am going to learn! Seeing the direct path to success. In life, there are not that many lessons to learn, selling yourself and building trust is what it is all about. When thinking about your career, focusing on a specific skill-set is key as opposed to a specific role. Mike mentioned his daughter wants to be an artist, and how he explained this to her: focus on your skill-set and not the career, being an artist is very narrow, but focusing on being artistic will help you to use your skill-set and open your opportunity portfolio. “Communicate well, you must engage with people, sell confidence, people will trust you and will buy whatever you are telling them to buy. But it does break quicker than it is made, if you sell someone something they don’t need! People have confidence in you and will buy from you.” Q: How do people stay focused on that one task that is going to get them to the next level? Rate of change is getting faster; having the single objective isn’t the most important thing. Every day we should wake up with the question, what can I do today to move me forwards towards my goal? Perhaps having the single task isn’t the way forward but an objective that you are aiming towards every day. Focus on: Tenacity, resilience, stamina, take the knocks and engage with people. People always say getting funding for small business is tough but Mike doesn’t agree. Mike mentions how he walks past a key cutter who sell umbrellas become £10, in the sun they are £1.50 and banks are just the same. It is a good idea to go to the bank before you need money, if you go to the bank and tell them what you do instead of going to ask them, you should engage with them when you don’t need to, this will knock of some of your interest charges and help you to grow. It is a bit like girls and waiting for them to come to you. He mentions about where technology is going and how you will be able to use Blippar for dating with their facial recognition software and how they are planning on putting Augmented reality on contact lenses and AI and how this could be used for dating with facial recognition software. You will also be able to change the colour of your eyes, but you will have self defence mechanisms. Once tech is invented you can’t turn back the clock and uninvent it. People Google you before they meet you, people Google you and we discussed people search for you. We also discussed some tips for Tinder and the other amazing technology that is coming along for dating apps and the antidote. I mentioned how much time it took to look for a date on Tinder and how I heard of a new strategy of creating catch of the day on your Tinder picture. Q: I know you are big believer in taking action before strategy? From his book “Forget Strategy Get Results” the title is slightly tongue in cheek, strategy is less important than taking action. No one writes 5/10-year business plans anymore and how writing strategy is not important but taking ...

Today I'm interviewing Mike Tobin, former CEO of Telecity. Mike has over 30 years of experience as a tech entrepreneur and he's now working with a number of businesses across multiple continents. He's also got significant charitable interests. In 2016 Mike raised over £100k running 40 marathons in 40 consecutive days. He's now preparing for an unaided trek across Antarctica planned for next year. On top of that, he's started a podcast with his son and written two books. On today's podcast: Why it's important to have realistic performance expectations Keeping up with the times is not optional, it's essential Mike's involvement in charity projects Why fear is an irrational emotion Having a vision is more important than planning on a strategy Work-life balance just doesn't exist Links: Live, Love, Work, Prosper: A fresh approach to integrating life and work Forget Strategy. Get Results.: Radical Management Attitudes That Will Deliver Outstanding Success The Tobin Podcast

Personal branding Mike received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) with recognition from Her Majesty The Queen for his contribution to the UK digital economy. Personal branding was synonymous with success! In his business life Mike was CEO of Telecity, a company he helped successfully from a market cap of 6 Million to well over 3 Billion. Growing the company was quite a journey, with several acquisitions along the way. Mike tells me about his personal brand and how it helped him along the way and how it is more longer lived than a business brand. He now spreads his time between 14 different non executive roles in South Africa, USA, Moscow, Hong Kong, Spain,Belgium, Amsterdam and his homeland the United Kingdom. Mike also enjoys charity work and is passionate about the education and empowerment of children in particular. He ran 40 Marathons in 40 days for the Prince’s trust 4oth anniversary. He also sleeps in the street once a year to support action for children, an initiative to get children off the streets. When he was a CEO he wrote a book called “Forget Strategy Get Results” as a public company CEO the shareholders loved the book of course! He has his second book coming along in the next few months. Mike Shares His Personal Branding Strategies In terms of personal branding helping him in his career, it was incredible for him personally and synonymous with the businesses success. He had a caricature of himself on a business card and through an app called Blippar his character would pop up and start talking to you through your phone. It had an image of him with his shirt open three buttons down, he still wears the same necklace today. Another one of his business cards had Mike on it and if you needed any more information he probably didn’t want to speak to you anyway! When presenting the results for the company people would ask if his shirt buttons were done up or open and not even attend the briefing. He would leave the three buttons undone if the results were good and only one was open if they were not as good. Personal Branding is All About Personality We agreed personal branding is about personality and how that plays into the businesses he is involved with is crucial. You are always selling yourself first, personal branding is so important because you can be selling anything or doing anything at work and you are still always selling yourself; it is about building confidence and trust and creating the sense of trust between you and someone else. When Mike learnt how to sell the gentleman that taught him explained that every unsuccessful attempt only gets you one step closer to success. When you are a vacuum cleaner salesperson statistically you know that not all the houses in the street will buy, and the likelihood of success is low. When you knock on that door you should be happy as you are one step closer to selling the vacuum cleaner. If you get on a bicycle you will fall off, if you gave up the first time you tried you would never manage it and if you bought all the books in the world to help you to ride a bicycle you would still fall off when you first got on! Failure is almost part of success and you should embrace it as it is part of the journey. Finding Work/Life Balance Mike’s new book is called “Live, Love, Work,Prosper” we agreed the work life balance doesn’t exist, it is difficult to achieve harmony. Nelson Mandella is a great inspiration to Mike but his home life was a disaster and trying to be focused on your career and having a home life and a business life you need to integrate them somehow otherwise one element suffers. Mike puts his mobile on the table every time he goes to dinner and some people think this is rude, but he has businesses in every timezone in the world and if his phone is on the table at least he can see it when it rings. He thinks this is better than putting the phone in the briefcase as it wastes brain cycles th...
