For this episode, we have a return guest! Neen James, an Aussie who loves luxury, including Tiffany mugs and especially champagne, is back on the podcast! And this time, she's going to talk about luxury. What do you think when you hear the word luxury? Does it feel unnecessary? Does it feel indulgent? How about amazing? Or even necessary? As you will hear in my conversation with Neen, she set out to learn how having one can benefit us personally and professionally and what's behind a luxury mindset. Neen has used her research to work with large, well-known companies all over the world. During our conversation, Neen and I discussed: 1. What a luxury mindset is, and why was Neen interested in studying it? 2. What the results were from the study that she completed on luxury mindset with a research firm. 3. What the luxury mindsets are and how they impact us at work and personally. 4. If we need to be “rich” monetarily to possess a luxury mindset? 5. Various examples of living with a luxury mindset. 6. How we as working women can adopt a luxury mindset if we don't have one. 7. The benefits of a luxury mindset, and more!

The Business of Meetings – Episode - 156: How Luxury Brands Talk To Their Clients with Neen James   We are delighted to be speaking with Neen James today! Neen has been working in various industries across the world. She is the author of Attention Pays and the President and CEO of Neen James, Incorporated. She is with us today to share her journey and discuss the fascinating survey she did recently on luxury brands, how people look at luxury, and the best way to speak with clients dealing with luxury brands.  We hope you enjoy listening to today's inspiring and informative conversation with Neen James! Bio: Neen James is the author of nine books including Folding Time™ and her most recent, Attention PaysTM. She was named one of the top 30 Leadership Speakers by Global Guru several years in a row because of her work with companies like Viacom, Comcast, Cisco, Virgin, Johnson & Johnson, and the FBI, among others. Neen is a leadership expert who delivers high-energy keynotes that challenge audiences to prioritize focus in their work and lives. Understanding that attention and productivity can only come after clarifying what matters most, audiences leave Neen's keynotes with practical strategies they can then apply personally and professionally to get them where they want to be. Compelling in delivering presentations, Neen is adaptive and responsive to the unique needs of live, virtual, and hybrid experiences. Meeting planners love working with her – they often describe Neen as the energizer bunny for their events. With a strong background in learning and development and managing large teams at various corporations, Neen is the perfect fit for organizations that want systems thinking-based, implementable strategies. After working with Neen, their employees are able to create space and allow the freedom to avoid distractions, stop interruptions, prioritize daily objectives, and say ‘no' to requests that steal time and focus from real goals and priorities. Neen earned her MBA from Southern Cross University and the Certified Speaking Professional designation from National Speakers Association. She has received numerous awards as a professional speaker and is a partner in the international education company Thought Leaders Global. Oh, did we mention that Neen is Australian? Why does that matter? Well, it means that she's a bit mischievous, pretty witty, and a little cheeky. She also considers herself an unofficial champagne taste tester ... and is obsessed with her Peloton bike... a bike that goes nowhere! Neen's journey Neen grew up in corporate business, in Australia. She worked in retail banking, telecommunications, and the oil industry. As an executive strategist, she became obsessed with finding out how to get people to pay attention to what really matters. Someone once nudged her to become a speaker. She set up a company and found her first retainer client immediately. Her company has grown since then, she relocated to the United States, wrote some books, and did some research studies. Leaving corporate Australia There were various things that prompted Neen to leave corporate Australia. She was working in the prepaid cellphone industry and did some fun projects there, including launching Virgin® in Australia. She became known as someone who got things done and people kept on asking her to speak at conferences. So, she decided to do something for herself. She managed to convince the board that the best strategy was to re-engineer the business, centralize the roles, and let many people go, herself included. Corporate life Neen loved corporate life, and she still loves corporate clients! Being a corporate girl was a great gift for her because she now does a lot of corporate work, particularly with CEOs and their teams. Referrals An entrepreneur was born…Neen built her company from scratch! All of her business opportunities have come from referrals from people in her audience or her network.  Changing According to Neen, anyone thinking of making a change needs to be courageous, believe in yourself, know what you're good at, and look for what will truly light you up! The difference between Aussies and Americans Because Neen enjoyed living in the US so much, she became a citizen. She believes one difference between Australians and Americans is that Australians work hard and play hard. Americans work hard. Using your out-of-office and voicemail Use your out-of-office and voicemail as ways for people to experience you. It can be a fun way to extend your personal brand, provide information for people sending you notes, and manage people's expectations.  What Need discovered through her survey on luxury brands Thoughts create feelings. Neen wanted to find out what people think about luxury rather than how they feel about it. The research firm that did her survey interviewed hundreds of leaders and found that there are four different luxury mindsets (or archetypes). Through the survey, they were able to discover how each of those mindsets makes decisions, how they define luxury, what's important to them, and who influences their decisions. Knowing that can help brands assess the mindsets with which they want to work with, and then align their messages to attract those mindsets. The four luxury mindsets/archetypes: Reluctant and removed – Luxury is hard  Pro-prioritizer – Luxury is power Confident and content – They've got this The luxury-lover – They think they are worth it Helping companies speak luxury language Companies should speak the luxury language of the luxury mindset they want to attract. Neen helps them do that. Various implications There are many different implications for luxury brands in research, and Neen loves sharing them with the audiences she works with! Time Neen believes time can only be managed if things will happen whether we like it or not. (She talks about that in her book, Folding Time.) However, you can manage your attention. (Neen talks about how to be more intentional with your attention in her book, Attention Pays.) Is luxury recession-proof? Whether or not a recession occurs, some people will continue having the luxury lifestyle they have always enjoyed. So she does not foresee a crisis for luxury brands. However, she does see luxury brands having to market differently and align their messages to appeal to luxury mindsets. Inter-generational travel Neen has noticed a trend of inter-generational travel, where one family member pays for the whole family to take a luxury cruise together. How Neen helps her clients When Neen consults with her clients, she looks at how they assess the mindset of the person they want to attract and how they align their messages to ensure everything is consistent with that mindest. She also helps her clients build advocates for their brands. Neen's advice Whether you are in the luxury space or not, think about the kind of people you want to work with, the companies and brands with which you would like to be aligned, and the actions you intend to take to support those companies or brands. Tiny changes By implementing some tiny changes, it's easy for anyone to transform an ordinary, everyday experience into a luxury one!

Luxury is about experiences, not expenses, says Neen James. She was born and raised in the tiniest town in Australia, by her single mother in a caravan park. Though they didn't have much, her mom was great at creating beauty and luxury in their home, decorating and picking flowers.  Today, she talks with Erin about her new body of research looking at the concept of luxury. She discusses ways to bring luxury into all your life experiences, at home and work. These can be simple things like granting yourself the gift of time, meditating a little longer, or upgrading the beauty products in your shower. Neen explains the four luxury archetypes and emphasizes that luxury should also be shared with others, creating memories through experiences.    Neen James is a motivational speaker, sales and leadership coach, and author of nine books.

Neen James helps people think about how they focus their time, and how they maximize the impact, for not only themselves but also their organization. And she does a lot of very interesting coaching around systems thinking and communication techniques to improve executive effectiveness. Neen shares insights about paying attention, and how to focus your attention on the things that are your strengths and allow your team to focus on the rest. Neen discusses the importance of remembering that No is a complete sentence. As CEOs, we must have shortcuts. We must have language that is understood by our team. So, an elegant way to say no is that sounds like a great project to be involved in. I'm at capacity right now, I'm going to direct you to this person. So you are acknowledging the request or the person or whatever the ask is. Because that's how we make them feel important. That's how we make them feel like we're giving them attention. But we also must be, have the courage to say, that's not a use of our time right Now, what I never want any CEO to say is, I don't have time. And here's why. When you say to someone, I don't have time, what you're actually saying is, I don't have time for you. And that's how we make them feel less valuable. And that's not our job because we're creating a culture where we want to develop the talent. Neen leaves us with this challenge - have a 15-minute strategic appointment with yourself every day and identify your top three priorities that'll help move the business forward today. For more advice and insight, I hope you will enjoy this Episode of The Lazy CEO Podcast.

In today's episode, we are joined by Neen James, a speaker, author, and Executive Strategist for luxury and legacy brands worldwide. Neen's joyous and effervescent character will bring a smile to your face as she dives into the best ways to streamline your routine so you can pay attention to what matters most. She and Mike discuss why our attention spans truly aren't dwindling, how luxury is a mindset and the best way to tap into it, as well as impactful ways to quiet the noise of life to allow for valuable recovery.

Neen James is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots podcast. She first joined us back on episode 258 of the show, and talked openly about her journey from corporate Australia to the United States and then entrepreneurial success. With a strong background in learning and development and managing large teams at various corporations, she was and is the perfect fit for organizations wanting to learn implementable strategies to save time, increase focus and help their people get more done. Not the kind of stuff that you might have seen time and time again, when the work management takes as long as doing the job in the first place. But practical stuff that can make a huge difference. How The Dots Joined Up For Neen Neen James is the author of eight business books including “Folding Time, Secrets of Super-Productivity, Strategic Networking and Network or Perish” to name just a few. And now it seems that she is bringing everything together and really tackling the crux of productivity issues - lack of focus. She challenge audiences and clients to prioritize focusing on what matters most in their work and lives. Which is the perfect place to start today's show….. So with more and more interruptions, beeps, notifications and other distractions entering our lives everyday is there a way to break the circle and focus on what matters most? And of course when she is talking to someone and sneaks a quick glance at her phone, does she “aahh you are as bad as the rest of us!!” Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Neen James.

In today's episode, we're talking about the power of attention and focus. And the best person for that? Attention expert, Neen James! We talk about what true focus and attention is and how to use systems to elevate yourself out of the minutia. Let's face it - building a business is hard. Especially when we don't have giant teams to do all the work for us. If you're not careful, attention will slip and so will your profits. So let's not have that happen, huh?

Neen James believes that when we pay attention to what matters most, we make more money, get more done, and develop stronger relationships. I agree. It's a busy world out there and focused attention with your priorities in mind will help you be more efficient and more productive. We all know this, but it is easy to get distracted, become overwhelmed, and try to "multitask" to get more done. Our unrealistic expectations often lead to frustration. After seeing Neen speak, I knew I had to bring her onto the show! She's a real "Energizer Bunny" and her techniques and strategies for maintaining priorities can be life changing. And there's a reason she's been named one of the top speakers on leadership by Global Guru multiple times. It's not about doing everything, it's about doing the things that matter most. This episode is chock-full of goodies, get ready to take some notes!

Neen James, author of Attention Pays, is aiming to make ‘attention' a positive word, as she feels it gets a bad rap all around. James says that “attention is like currency. The more you invest, the more you get in return.” She argues that in order to attract and retain top talent, businesses need to pay attention to their employees or teams. But, with people being distracted by their devices and trying to be everything to everyone, attention takes a back seat. James adds that “attention is the evolution of productivity” because “when you gift someone with your undivided attention, your relationship increases.” Watch the Episode: https://c-suitenetwork.com/tv/video/neen-james-attention-pays/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Thanks for joining us for today’s panel on Obstacle Opportunities. I have been fortunate to chat with over 150 remarkable people on my Intentional Performers Podcast. These people have overcome adversity, thought deeply about leadership, and have setup intentional lives for themselves to perform at their best. The coronavirus has created challenges for so many throughout the world and it is my hope that these panel discussions will help those in need. While everyone on the panel has tremendous expertise, I also want to note that what we are going through is truly unprecedented and there may be questions that the panelists don’t have the answer to. That’s ok. This isn’t designed to give you the answer to every question you have, instead it’s designed to have you think deeply about how you can handle this challenging time.

Today's guest has been called an ‘energizer powerhouse' by event planners and meeting organizers worldwide. Her high-energy keynote speeches are filled with rich content that empowers her audience to take action. It's safe to say that she is not a run of the mill speaker. She has leveraged her sassy style and Aussie accent to become a ray of sunshine in an otherwise grey corporate world. Doing so, she has earned the respect of a wide range of clients, including Comcast, Johnson & Johnson, the FBI, and Virgin. She brings to them her vast experience in retail, banking, telecommunications and the oil industry. As a thought leader in the area of productivity, she is obsessed with helping clever people get more done so they can create more significant moments in their lives. “You don't have time to do everything, only time to do what matters.” She often appears in the media sharing her expertise and is a published author and contributor to eight books. In 2017, she will publish “Attention Pays!” which shares one of her core messages, that the art and practice of paying attention holds the key to greater success, higher sales, phenomenal customer service and unlimited referrals. Please join me in welcoming Neen James. In this episode we explore: her thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is paying attention to what matters. It's really easy to get distracted by everything and everyone around you. But true leaders know how to distinguish between what is happening and what really matters. Busy is not productive.” the benefits of being a host and making everyone around her feel comfortable at events time management was a hot topic, then productivity because of the influx of devices and inboxes, and now Neen says attention is where we need to focus our efforts. powerful lesson learned from a 5 year old to “Listen with your eyes.” Neen's amazing tips for how to make great connections at conferences – some of which are in my newly released book “Croissants vs. Bagels: Strategic, Effective, and Inclusive Networking at Conferences.” Stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear what I thought were the key takeaways you could put into practice this week and benefit from for years to come.
