On Boxing Day 20 years ago, disaster struck Thailand when the 2004 tsunami struck. A series of powerful waves caused unimaginable damage in 14 countries and 225,000 people sadly lost their lives, in the largest natural disaster recorded in history. Peter Baines, a former forensic investigator who was there to help with victim identification joined Mick & Mark on 6PR Breakfast to recount what it was like in Thailand during the aftermath.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boxing Day this year will mark 20 years since the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 which to this day is one of the worst natural disaster event to ever occur with over 227,000 people killed. Australian forensic specialist Peter Baines was one of the people tasked with identifying the bodies of thousands of victims. This experience inspired Peter to launch his own charity called Hands Across the Water which provides long-term support to children who were orphaned or displaced by the disaster. This year Peter will be running 33 marathons in 26 days to hopefully raise $1 million for his charity. Peter Baines told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, 'it's an important journey, we want to raise a million dollars.' We want to raise awareness, we've raised $35 million,' he said. 'We have been and are the largest contributing Australian charity to Thailand. We've put 40 kids through university. We're building an agricultural learning centre, a hospitality learning centre,' Baines said. 'But, we're basically unknown in Thailand, all of that $35 million has basically come from Australia and hopefully the run will change that.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can you believe we're already at the 201st episode of Leading You? It feels like just yesterday that I hit the record button for the very first time, and I'm so grateful for the support I get from each of you. This milestone has made me reflect on just how much we've uncovered about leadership—what it truly means to lead oneself and others effectively. Today I want to share the seven truths that have stuck with me the most from these past 200 episodes. Whether you're new to leadership or a seasoned pro, these insights will help elevate your leadership to new heights. The Power of the PauseYou've heard me talk about this endlessly, and for good reason. Pausing before reacting is a leadership superpower. It allows us to assess situations, make informed decisions, and communicate more clearly. This space for reflection helps avoid emotional responses, fostering a more thoughtful leadership style. One of our guests, Shivani Gupta, shared an excellent example when she stepped away from her business for six months to figure out her next move. This intentional pause allowed her to think about what truly fuels her purpose. Self-Care Fuels SuccessEffective leadership starts with looking after yourself. Prioritising your physical, mental, and emotional well-being is crucial for preventing burnout and sustaining long-term success. Leaders who model self-care not only maintain their health but also encourage a healthier work culture within their teams. It's easy to put self-care on a backburner while we focus on busyness, but it's important to remember that self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity for effective leadership. Vulnerability Strengthens Resilience and TrustVulnerability is no longer seen as a weakness but as a powerful leadership tool. Leaders who openly admit their mistakes and share personal challenges build deep trust with their teams. Through my own experiences and those shared by my guests, I've seen how being authentic and vulnerable fosters stronger connections and more collaborative environments. Empowered Choices Drive GrowthLeadership is about making conscious, empowered decisions. Whether it's navigating tough conversations or setting boundaries, intentional choices significantly shape how effectively a leader can grow and inspire their teams. It's about being proactive rather than reactionary. Making empowered choices sets the tone for growth and purpose, not only for you but for your team as well. Emotional Intelligence Builds Strong LeadersWhile high IQ can make you the smartest person in the room, it's emotional intelligence (EQ) that makes you an effective and influential leader. High EQ involves self-regulation, recognising how your emotions impact others, and understanding what motivates you. Leaders with high emotional intelligence inspire loyalty and cohesion within their teams, resolving conflicts more effectively. I've seen this in guests like Catherine Duncan and Adam Rouse, who demonstrate strong EQ in their leadership practices. Resilience Comes from Self-MasteryResilience is a great tool for any leader, because it helps you to stay composed under pressure, adapt to challenges, and maintain focus on long-term goals. Unfortunately, as Peter Baines shared when I spoke to him, you can't build resilience in your comfort zone. You need to face challenges head-on, learn from setbacks, and stay grounded in your purpose. It's about leading yourself through difficulties with the tools to overcome and grow from those experiences. Adaptability is EssentialAdaptability is one of the most important traits a leader can possess. Flexibility and openness to change allow leaders to respond proactively to new challenges. Carlo Pagano's episode on relevance underscores this perfectly. Leaders who embrace change and guide their teams through uncertainty thrive in dynamic environments, ensuring that they remain relevant and effective in leading both others and themselves.   These seven truths, gathered from hundreds of conversations and personal experiences, have been instrumental in shaping my leadership style and I hope they can do the same for you. Thank you for being an essential part of this incredible journey. Your support has been invaluable, and I look forward to continuing this adventure with you. Remember, leadership starts with you and the choices you make today will define the leader you become tomorrow. So, lead with intention, lead with heart, and keep growing.

Following the 2020 devastating explosion in Beirut, project manager Kevin Gemayel's journey is nothing short of inspiring as he tackled challenges head-on. Hear firsthand accounts of his experiences during the blast, his strategies for managing tasks, stakeholders, budgets, and time, and the invaluable lessons learned.

WENDY GROUNDS:  You're listening to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  My name is Wendy Grounds, and with me in the studio is Bill Yates.  We want to feature some younger talent in the project management community.  We're calling it our Rising Talent series.  So for the next two episodes we're going to be sharing the stories of two young project managers who are not only inspirational, but they're also making waves with their incredible contributions to the field.  Now, we have spoken to some young project managers in the past. BILL YATES:  Yeah, Episode 165 we had a great conversation with Kat Shane.  You may recall she had a startup company that she began at the University of Georgia, and it was working on a solution to help people, governments, and businesses figure out what products or packaging are locally recyclable.  So, can I recycle this?  And how to get them where they needed to go. WENDY GROUNDS:  We also spoke to Christelle Kwizera.  That was Episode 146.  At the age of 20, Christelle founded Water Access Rwanda, which was in response to the dangerous conditions Rwandans would face when collecting water from rivers and dams.  She was quite an incredible young lady. BILL YATES:  What a story.  So inspirational and so young. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yes, yes.  She was also a PMI Future 50 2021 honoree.  And the folk that we're talking to in these two episodes are also Future 50 2023 honorees from PMI.  We are really enjoying featuring younger talent in the project management community.  The first one is our guest, Kevin. BILL YATES:  Yeah, this is a heavy story, this conversation we'll have with Kevin.  It's heavy.  It's about the blast in Beirut.  And many people lost their lives, and many people who survived it will be dealing with it for a lifetime.  So, we wanted to recognize that.  But there are so many powerful lessons for us to learn from that, and to hear from Kevin. And we've tackled these kinds of topics before.  We spoke with Matthew Harper about the attack on the USS Cole and the lessons learned from that.  Peter Baines joined us from Australia.  He led international identification teams after tsunamis or terrorist attacks.  So, he's talked with us about that.  And of course, Chuck Casto, that story was so engaging, looking at the Fukushima disaster and the 11 months that he spent onsite after the accident,

In this episode, we dive into the inspiring story of Peter Baines, the founder of Hands Across the Water, a prominent charity in Thailand. Peter takes us on his powerful journey, starting from his time in the police force to his life-changing humanitarian work and creating a life of choice, not chance. He also shares [...]

Generosity is good business! How is that?  Because giving is a prophet center - or at least it should be according to Peter Baines. This is a strong take that could rub some people the wrong way.  We've spent the better part of the last three years talking about selflessness and servant leadership.  So, how does giving to receive fit in? It's not that you are giving just to get something back.  It's knowing that helping others is going to be good for the world and for you.  Peter started his career working in forensic evidence and he certainly has evidence that we can give with the expectation of getting in return.  He puts his money where his mouth is with some incredible charity work and alongside that work is his speaking and consulting that show organizations how to grow with giving.  Get ready to experience your own growth.

I am absolutely convinced that taking kids travelling is one of the best things you can do for them, and in this episode I've gathered together the thoughts of four fathers who agree with me! First up, I chat with Rupert Grey, who took his daughters across the world at a young age - in particular, he tells me about their experience visiting Bangladesh in the 1990s, and the impact that their travels has had on them now that they are adults. Cristian Martinus tells me about the reactions from kids on his tours in Morocco, then has a great example to share about a time when things went wrong while travelling with his young daughter - but it all turned out brilliantly. Peter Baines then tells me about the experience of cycling with his own children in Thailand, as well as an example of a father and son pair who were recent tour participants. Finally, Rick Antonson takes it one generation further with his tales about travelling as a grandfather, and in particular his trip with a ten-year-old grandson in western Canada.  Links: Rupert Grey - https://rupertgrey.co.uk/ Rupert's movie Romantic Road - https://www.romanticroadmov.com/  Cristian Martinus - Sun Trails  - https://www.sun-trails.com/  Peter Baines - Hands Across the Water - https://www.handsacrossthewater.org.au/  Rick Antonson - https://www.rickantonson.com Rick's new book, Train Beyond the Mountains - https://amzn.to/3Zq1C8T Join our Facebook group for Thoughtful Travellers - https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers Join our LinkedIn group for Thoughtful Travellers - https://notaballerina.com/linkedin Show notes: https://notaballerina.com/316 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The statistics tell us so: more and more of us want to give back and do good when we travel. This is heartening, right? Now we just have to start figuring out the best ways to contribute to the places we visit, in genuinely useful ways - and some of these are described in this episode. First up, I chat with Roger Smith of Echidna Walkabout who gives a good overview of giving back, and shares his wisdom from a tour operator perspective. I wish every tour operator thought like Roger! Next, I speak to Meg Jerrard and Mar Pages, two hardworking women I've known for many years, who now run small group tours under their Solo Female Travelers Club brand. Through this work, they've been giving back in Tanzania, and explain the story of Glory Thobias, who runs the Tanzanian Women Guides Foundation and trains female porters and guides to work in the lucrative tourism industry at Mount Kilimanjaro. Finally, I talk to Peter Baines, founder of Hands Across the Water, a company offering cycling tours of Thailand with a very important giving back purpose, aided by compulsory fundraising for the tour participants. It's a great model that's proven vital for helping some at-risk groups of children in Thailand.

We also dive deeper into how we could cope from the mental effects of difficult and traumatic situations, leadership in the current world and why decision making skills are important during these times. 

Peter Baines shares his leadership experience deployed to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and starting Australian charity Hands Across the Water.

Peter Baines has followed an unconventional path from being a forensic police investigator solving homicides and leading international teams in scenes of crisis and disaster, to being a global keynote speaker, business consultant and philanthropist. In what reads like a spy-thriller, he has held roles with Interpol and the United Nations unravelling criminal mysteries and advising on counter-terrorism in Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia.Peter was part of the leadership team responding to the Bali bombings and in 2004 was called to lead the international response to the Boxing Day tsunami. Deeply touched by the number of children left without parents after the tsunami, he was inspired to establish the charity Hands Across the Water, which has raised over $30M. Peter has been recognised with the Order of Australia Medal and the Most Admirable Order of Direkgunabhorn from the King of Thailand. He has written three books including his latest, “Leadership Matters – stories and insights for leaders, achievers and visionaries.”When not working, you'll find Peter tending to his farm, raising Hereford cattle and driving his tractor. He's an enthusiastic helicopter pilot and enjoys participating in ultra-marathons alongside his loyal companion, Burton.In this episode Andrew and Peter discuss:5:15 Peter's latest book, his story of hitting rock bottom and how he got out of a rut14:45 Starting in the Merrylands Police Station at 18 years old , and moving to Cabramatta and 'leaving work at the door'19:15 Moving into forensics, the evolution of science in forensic investigations and mentally dealing with/disconnecting from violent crimes27:30 PTSD and whether or not training mental skills could help avoid it32:30Being part of the Bali bombing investigation, identifying 3,500 bodies in Thailand and working in Japan after the 2011 Tsunami 42:00 The hardest and easiest part of the job, and Peter's moving story about the beautiful Thai mother woman who came to collect the bodies of her children on 3 separate occasions 47:30 Ego and self-esteem, being an introvert in a public speaking role, and down regulating being on the farm52:30 Hands Across the Water and the inspiring story of Tracy and Clare59:45 Never feeling like the job is done, how he wrote his latest book in record time and raising $250k at a number of conferences/events "despite being shit at selling"1:16:15 Performance Uncovered1:32:05 Andrew and the Wizard's reflections You can find Peter at his LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/peterbainesconsulting/                                        Website: peterbaines.com.auOr the Hands Across The Water Website: https://www.handsacrossthewater.org.au/ Find out more about Andrew's Keynotes : https://www.andrewmay.com/keynotes/Follow Andrew May: https://www.instagram.com/andrewmay/Follow StriveStronger: https://www.instagram.com/strive.stronger/If you enjoy the podcast, we would really appreciate you leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Google Play.

I'm honoured to introduce Peter Baines (OAM), global speaker, author, board director, business consultant and founder of an incredible charity, Hands Across the Water. With an extraordinary background in both elite forensic services and international disaster relief efforts, Peter's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. In this episode, we explore his recently released book, "Leadership Matters," which encapsulates the essence of authentic leadership gleaned from the heart of crisis and resilience.    As we explore resilience, Peter's insights provide a profound understanding of how leaders can cultivate it in the face of unthinkable challenges. He stresses the power of swift decision-making and the courage to seize opportunities, even in uncertain times. The impact of a leader's presence cannot be underestimated and Peter expresses how honesty, integrity and the courage to make decisions are attributes that leaders require now and moving into the future. He underscores that leadership's core lies in forging genuine connections, fostering open communication, and wholeheartedly committing to making a positive impact.   Leadership Matters beautifully exemplifies the core principles of resilience. He emphasises the significance of embracing risk rather than avoiding it, as challenges are often gateways to growth. He laments the modern tendency to shield individuals from risk, which ultimately hinders their ability to tackle challenges when they arise. Peter also shares an inspiring story about a woman he works with in Thailand who demonstrated extraordinary resilience working with HIV children for 24 years. Peter reflects that her tenacity to keep going under incredibly challenging circumstances was because she didn't let today be defined by yesterday.    Through Peter's insights, we discover that leadership isn't confined to theories—it's a living, breathing force born from the crucible of real-life challenges. His journey paints a vivid picture of leadership's evolution, from confronting the unimaginable to nurturing resilience and embracing risks. Peter's stories of courage, hope, and unwavering dedication remind us that leadership truly does matter—it shapes not only our lives but also the lives of those we touch.

Investigating homicides, working a forensic expert and leading international teams into scenes of crisis and disaster is not your normal path to global keynote speaker, charity founder, business consultant and humanitarian but nonetheless, it is the path of Peter Baines. I've probably never spoken less in a podcast (and I'm chatty AF) but I didn't want to get in the way of this amazing human who's done (and continues to do) amazing things, helping people in the middle of the worst (life and death) situations, all around the world. Enjoy.

Welcome to the Financial Secrets Revealed podcast episode where Amanda Cassar introduces Peter Baines, a global speaker, charity founder, consultant and author.Amanda first heard Peter speak at a conference many years ago, introducing how we went from forensic cop working the aftermath of the Boxing Day Tsunami to starting the charity Hands Across the Water, supporting orphans in Thailand.Over the years, their paths crossed distantly as friends became more involved and participated in the 800km bike treks through Thailand raising money for the children; until Amanda won a trip to the Thailand with Hands, assisting with demolishing a home in the Khlong Toey slums, ready for rebuilding by locals and helping out in the homes for the children with pet projects required. Peter has experienced firsthand some of the world's largest disasters and crisis scenarios; shares how he navigated his own personal dramas and what his view of money enables him to accomplish today, not just for his immediate family; but for those in need as well.“Work hard, invest, take advice but, above all of that, make the time and space to enjoy what you're creating around your wealth.” – Peter Baines.LinksHands Across the Water : Home  (Company Website)  DONATIONS WELCOME!PETER BAINES (Speaking Website)Peter Baines OAM | LinkedIn (LinkedIn profile)(20+) Hands Across The Water | Facebook (The Hands Group Facebook page)Offer Purchase your copy of Financial Secrets Revealed on Amazon: Financial Secrets Revealed: Cassar, Amanda: Amazon.com.au: BooksPurchase your copy of the book on Booktopia:Financial Secrets Revealed, Collective Wisdom from Business Gurus, Financial Geniuses and Everyday Heroes by Amanda Cassar | 9781925648546 | BooktopiaPurchase your copy of the book on Barnes & Noble:Financial Secrets Revealed by Amanda Cassar, Paperback | Barnes & Noble® (barnesandnoble.com)Follow Catch up with Amanda Cassar, host of Financial Secrets Revealed on Twitter and Instagram @financechicks or on LinkedIn at Amanda Cassar | LinkedInWebsites: https://amandacassar.com.au/ https://www.wealthplanningpartners.com.au/ (company website)https://trustedagedcare.com.au/ (company website) Or you can find Peter Baines and the Hands Group on Twitter at @peter_baines and @HATWAustraliaSupport the show

Peter Baines spent the best portion of 25 years as a forensic investigator.  They're the guys who get called in to respond to major crime scenes and incidents. He shares some of these harrowing experiences with me in this conversation and I'm truly inspired that there are people who rise up to such tasks, all in a days work. From the forensic investigation of brutal murder scenes in Australia to international events such as the Bali Bombings and the Thailand Tsumani where Peter was called to recover and identify thousands of bodies. From this experience he foundered the organisation Hands Across The Water, a not for profit assisting children in Thailand with housing, education and an all round better chance at the life every human deserves.

Becoming a specialist in forensic crime scene investigations, he was called upon to bring his skills to the Bali bombings in 2002. But it was the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that forever changed the direction of his life.In response to the needs of children were left without a home from the Tsunami in Thailand, Peter left his job as a forensic Police officer and founded the charity Hands Across The Water. Now 15 years on, Peter has raised over $20 million dollars to help disadvantaged children in Thailand.Peter is now known as a global speaker, charity founder and business consultant. He imparts many lessons and his wisdom, kindness and charitable efforts are something everyone should take the time to listen to.

WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast for project managers by project managers.  I am Wendy Grounds, and this is the part where I usually say, “In the studio with me is Bill Yates.”  However, Bill is not with us in the studio today.  But he is joining us from home.  Welcome, Bill. BILL YATES:  Thank you, Wendy.  Appreciate it. WENDY GROUNDS:  Today we're talking to Peter Baines.  We came across Peter and discovered some of the work that he is doing, an incredible story.  He was a forensic investigator, and he worked in Bali in 2002 after the terrorist bombings, as well as in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.  He went to Thailand and worked there as a forensic investigator after those disasters.  And he's going to talk more about that on the podcast. BILL YATES:  Yeah, Wendy, this is going to be an interesting conversation with Peter.  He has had unique experiences that kind of hit a theme that we've had some prior episodes on.  We had conversation with Dr. Chuck Casto about the Fukushima nuclear disaster.  We talked with Dave Gibson about the development of the MRAP team.  More recently we spoke with Matt Harper about the USS Cole bombing.  And we had a conversation with a fire chief, Mark Von Tillow, who's been chasing wildfires. So there's a common thread there of times of incredible crisis that Peter can speak to, and through that he's got a lot of wisdom to share with us.  He can help give us perspective on our projects of what actions to take when things look overwhelming, how to stay grounded during crisis, and just how to lead through it.  WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah, just a little more about Peter which we don't cover in the podcast is he worked for Interpol in France, leading counterterrorism projects.  He also spent time advising the United Nations Office in Drug and Crime in Southeast Asia on leadership and counterterrorism.  And he will go on to tell us about a charity that he started called Hands Across the Water.  And we're very excited to hear about the work that he's been doing there.  Also he was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for his international humanitarian work in 2014, and in 2016 he received the Most Admirable Order of Direkgunabhorn awarded by the king of Thailand for his services to the kingdom of Thailand.  We really are so honored to have Peter with us today. Welcome, Peter.  Thank you so much for joining us on Manage This. PETER BAINES:  It's so nice to join you.  Thank you for the invitation. Peter's Early Career WENDY GROUNDS:  I want to go back and find out about your career, how you became a forensic investigator.  What led you into that field? PETER BAINES:  So I joined the New South Wales Police, and I was a serving police officer here for several years.

Peter Baines joined the NSW Police Force at 19 and worked first as a uniformed officer before he transferred across to join the Forensic Services Group and become a real-life crime scene investigator (long before it was cool). Little did he know that decision would change the trajectory of his life. He is now an author, speaker, consultant and the co-founder of an amazing charity called ‘Hands Across The Water’. Peter’s work as a forensic investigator took him first to Bali to identify victims following the 2002 Bali bombing that killed 202 people, including 88 Australia. Then 2 years in 2004 he made his first trip to Thailand to assist with the identification of victims following the Boxing Day tsunami that killed between 250,000 and 300,000 people. In a strange yet beautiful twist of fate, during his third rotation in Thailand, he agreed to raise money to fund a home for a group of children he had met who had been orphaned by the tsunami. And so ‘Hands Across The Water’ was born; a charity that now owns and operates 7 homes across Thailand and cares for hundreds of at-risk children. In his conversation, we discuss: - why action leads to clarity and that if you wait long enough you’ll find reasons not to do the thing, - the ‘postevent’ blues and the struggle with adjusting to ‘normal’ life after an experience that shifts your view of yourself and/or the world, - the importance of understanding your measures of ‘success’ and making sure they align with your ‘why’, - where the idea for the charity rides originated from, and - the impact that bushfires and COVID-19 have had on their fundraising efforts in 2020.

This week there is no new episode however we have sliced together 2 really interesting chats that we think are extremely relevant to the current environment we find ourselves in. These were recorded live from Xerocon last year and include one with Peter Baines discussing crisis management and using social responsibility as a profit center in your business and Ros Harvey about how we can use big data to solve big problems we are facing. 

When the Boxing Day Tsunami happened in Thailand and the Bali Bombings occurred, Peter Baines was the man they called to forensically investigate and identify thousands of bodies. From tragedy he created hope and opportunity for many children orphaned or abandoned by disaster in Thailand by creating Hands Across the Water. Hands Across the Water started in 2005 and now cares for over 350 children across 7 projects in Thailand.

The 80/20 Rule Of Renovating Profit In this episode I will share with you "The Pareto Principle" and basically it means that for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. And that principle applies to all aspects of our life. How does it apply to a renovator? When you are doing a renovation for profit, the small amount of work like putting together the deal on your projects can make the biggest impact,  to create that 80% of your result.

From doing forensic services to working in the Interpol in Lyon France to building his own international aid agency, Hands Across the Water, Peter Baines has had a remarkable journey doing humanitarian work and organising not for profit programs to support the needy, especially children. In this session, Peter shares his life experiences and the lessons he’s learned, how SMEs can start supporting a charity to enable business growth, and how a ‘Crisis Clock’ approach can help business leaders get through tough times.

Investigating homicides, leading international teams into scenes of crisis and disaster is not your normal path to global keynote speaker and business consultant. It was this unique path that provided insights into leadership which are so different yet offer relevant reflections and learnings to businesses facing change, growth or challenges of their own. Peter Baines worked in countries following major crisis including Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. His grounding came from two decades as a forensic investigator that saw him unravel the mysteries and discover the secrets of criminals thought rested solely with them. Prior to finishing his career as a forensic investigator he would spend time working with both Interpol in Lyon, France and the United Nations Office of Drug and Crime advising on Counter Terrorism and capacity building. But it was the work in Thailand that brought the biggest change. In response to the needs of the children left without a home or parents he would form Hands Across the Water and commence fundraising in Australia to build them a home. Ten years after starting the charity he now spends much of his time helping other charity leaders through The Growth Project and advises business on how they can and indeed should benefit from their engagement with their community partners through corporate social responsibility programs. If you'd like to speak with Peter to enquire on his services or support his charity, you can do at his website.

Welcome to Episode Two, Season Two of The Decoding Purpose Podcast.I'm going to kick off today's podcast with a quote by Steve Jobs that I love.You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.The reason I bring up this quote is that when I interviewed today's guest, I suddenly felt conscious of the fact that I was in one of those ‘looking backwards’ moments. That the person sitting there across from me in the studio was not only an influential person but a person who influenced my career in ways I could have never anticipated upon meeting them.Why is that you may ask? I have spent most of my career working alongside some of the world's best thought leaders. They all had influence, but there were a few that also created epic social impact. Today's guest is one of those people. I first met Peter Baines in my early twenties and his presence in the formative years of my career in the speaking industry, was in looking back one of the main influences in my life leading me to my passion for understanding purpose driven influence. The kind that changes the world.Pete's story also happens to be jaw dropping! Why? Because investigating homicides, leading international teams into scenes of crisis and disaster is not your typical path to becoming a speaker or business consultant. Then again, Pete learnt about leadership on the front line. Where it matters most. He worked on the ground after the 2002 Bali Bombing and the 2004 Boxing Day Thailand Tsunami where his life changed forever. This was the turning point that ignited Pete's purpose - The creation of Hands Across The Water, a charity on a mission to provide children in Thailand with a life of choice.Fifteen years after starting the charity he now spends much of his time helping other charity leaders through The Growth Project and advises business on how they can and indeed should benefit from their engagement with their community partners through corporate social responsibility programs.Welcome to the podcast, Peter Baines.

Peter unpacks the stages of crisis through the 'Crisis Clock' - frantic, control, project management in crisis, completion This interview is filled with great lessons on crisis management, leadership, resilience as well as making a conscious difference where everyone wins. I even ask Peter, if he was PM how would he have handled the Aussie fires and the leadership of our nation. His answer is simple and straightforward with great comparisons of what to do and what not to do as a leader. Leaders, pls share this with your teams and those who are dealing with the fires ablaze across Australia right now.

In this episode we talk with Peter Baines about the importance of shared experiences and how playing the long game can be the best thing a business owner can do in the short term. Show notes - http://twodogsagency.com/how-a-shared-experience-can-turn-20k-into-180k-in-new-business/

Today's episode features a chat with Peter Baines who is a global speaker, charity founder, ex police investigator and business consultant who helps businesses turn their corporate social responsibility into profit centers within their business. 

While you might not be familiar with the work of Peter Bains OAM many of you will clearly remember where you were when you heard about the Bali Bombings in 2002 or the Boxing Day Tsunami in Thailand in 2004. The identification of victims of both of those disasters fell to those who were first on the ground, in many cases Australians including Peter who was one of the team leaders. In this podcast, Peter speaks with Samantha McLean about motivating teams and leading with innovation especially through times of uncertainty and even crisis, including the role that culture and shared experiences play in both situations.

Joining me on the podcast this month is Peter Baines. Pete developed his unique leadership style by leading international identification teams into Indonesia and Thailand following acts of terrorism and the 2004 South East Asian Tsunami. He would go on to work in the counter terrorism area of Interpol, spent time with the United Nations Office of Drug and Crime and also worked in Saudi Arabia and Japan after natural disasters hit those countries. But it was his work in Thailand that brought the biggest change. After meeting the children left orphaned by the Tsunami, Peter felt compelled to act and founded an Australian charity called Hands Across the Water which has gone on to create opportunities for hundreds of children across Thailand. In January 2014, Peter Baines was recognised in the Australia Day honours with the awarding of the Order of Australia Medal for his International Humanitarian work. To say I was inspired, moved to do more and humbled by our conversation is not enough. There were moments during this chat that I had to hold back to the tears and there were moments of deep connection and the consequent need for silence that effected me for days later. Peter Baines embodies the concept of this podcast – that we can all unleash the brilliance within. Grab a cuppa, download and listen in.

"It’s what people do not the position they hold that really makes a difference..." When I started this podcast series I always knew I would have the conversation with Peter Baines. Peter has held many positions and seen sides of humanity many of us are not exposed to. As a forensic copper Peter Baines worked at the cold-face of communities. Throughout his career his work landed him in places like Bali after the Bali Bombings and Thailand after the tsunami. In this conversation Peter provides a personal insight into the drivers behind our decisions and why when you are rock bottom sometimes the only thing you have left is to help others. For last 10 years that's what he has dedicated his life to. Over 10 years ago he launched Hands Across the Water, charity supporting children at risk in Thailand. The charity now has seven homes across Thailand. The success lies in creating shared experiences through bike rides, treks and social venture programs. Peter asks us to look at and redefine our measures of success. This is a conversation that will stay with you long after listening.

Imagine finding a product you absolutely love and turning it into your own successful eCommerce business. Photographer (and part-time Gardener) Brian Chapman bought 20,000 seedlings for his rural property. He then realised the idea of digging 20,000 holes wasn't that appealing. A quick Google search uncovered the Power Planter - a product only available out of America. Not for long … Brian's now the local distributor, and has sold $1.8 million worth of this genius little invention in his first 10-months. Oh, and Brian's no longer a Photographer! Brian Chapman, is the Australian distributor for the Power Planter, a simple tool that attaches to your drill and makes it ridiculously easy to dig holes in the ground. Up until 12-months ago, Brian was making a nice living as a professional photographer, but felt a little unsatisfied. Also a keen gardener living on a beautiful property just outside of Sydney, he'd created a rather large problem (which you'll hear about shortly) for which Power Planter (only available out of North America at the time) turned out to be the ideal solution. The rest is history as Brian secured the licence to it, and has sold a whopping $1.8 million worth in his first 10-months of business! We cover so much marketing and business ground including: How to start an eCommerce business How Brian attained the local distribution rights The importance of listening to your instinct The key to starting a successful online business How Brian's created a brand personality for Power Planter's marketing And that's just in the first 5-minutes!   But the marketing gold doesn't stop there, in this episode you'll also discover: Resident techspert Dale Beaumont from 52 Ways shows us how to collaborate with our teams via video I'll show you a blog post strategy that will make you look good … real good! I respond to some great follow-up questions from a listener who loved the recent episode I did on podcasting And we go back into The Small Business Big Marketing Show's vault, revisiting a chat I had with a fellow who has proven we can all do good by doing good   Here's what caught my attention from chatting with Brian Chapman of Power Planter: I loved how he talked about the creative spirit … and that not always having the solution upfront, is not a reason to not move forward with an idea. Brian (along with many of the successful people I chat with on this show) was all about progress not perfection. “Make a mistake, then adjust and learn” seemed to be his mantra. Adapt your personality to who you're selling to. I might have challenged Brian on this one, but it does make sense. Whilst I try to be me no matter what the situation, I certainly amp things up when I'm doing this show or presenting at a conference. I've included a link in the shownotes to a post detailing the 12 brand personalities Brian mentioned. Create a video that tackles the primary problem your business solves, then post it to your Home page, YouTube channel, maybe even include it in your email signature.

Clive knows a thing or two about how to use promotional products to market your business. The idea for this interview came about a few months ago when I was handed a calico bag full of promotional items at a Meet Up for what I consider to be quite a cool brand. I share what those items were in the interview, suffice to say that I was underwhelmed. A few weeks later I was the opening keynote speaker at the Australian Promotional Products Association's annual conference, at which point I connected with Clive who agreed to come on the show. Promotional products is a marketing topic I'm yet to cover, but have plenty of questions, like  how can businesses best use them, and what's the future hold for them. Clives also been running a successful business for 3-decades (no mean feet) so I interrogated him about that as well!   But the marketing gold doesn't stop there, in this episode you'll also discover: Resident techspert Dale Beaumont from 52 Ways shares a great way to make videos on your iPhone and upload directly to YouTube I share another low cost marketing idea that'll get your business some celebrity lovin' And we go back into The Small Business Big Marketing Show's vault, revisiting a past interview with a guest who beleives all businesses can do good by doing good   Here's what caught my attention from chatting with Clive McCorkell from Arid Zone: I love Arid Zone's 5 touch point concept which starts out at the Quoting process and ends after the sale. Arid Zone speak. What a great idea. You may not even realise that your business has it's own language - if it does, it might be time to formalise it so that all staff start integrating it into emails, sales letters, website pages and so on. “Brand in the hand” - I like that as a way to sum up the power of promotional products … because there's nothing quite as powerful as having a prospect or customer interacting with your precious brand, right?   Links & Resources mentioned: Arid Zone's website How and why to get celebrity testimonials YouTube Director provides shot-by-shot guidance – so that you can create a high quality video ad and upload it directly to YouTube from the app. No video editing experience required.

Peter Baines is an international speaker on leadership, change management and corporate social responsibility. In a past life, Peter was a police officer, a forensic investigator heading up clean-up teams in the Bali Bombings and Thailand Tsunami. He's also worked in Interpol's counter-terrorism unit. He's seen it all. But you might be wondering, what value does he have to bring to your small business? Well, Peter's now the founder of the Thailand-based charity Hands Across The Water, and a massive advocate for helping businesses of all sizes do good by doing good. In fact, he's written a book on the topic. During this chat, Peter shares some really solid strategies around how creating shared value is the key to powering business growth and innovation - and he backs them up with real life, small business case studies.   Plus in episode 372 of Australia's best marketing podcast: Resident techspert Dale Beaumont from 52 Ways shares a great way to never make a grammar or spelling mistake again I share another low cost marketing idea that'll show you how to use industry events to your advantage And we go back into The Small Business Big Marketing Show's vault, revisiting a past interview that lifted the lid on how to master the art of selling   Here's what caught my attention from chatting with Peter Baines of Hands Across The Water: Businesses of all sizes can do good by doing good. What many (including me) may have once considered a soft strategy for growth, is clearly not. I love the idea of creating shared experiences. There's no doubt that once two people are emotionally connected, the business relationship takes on a whole new dynamic. If you want to see that in action, go back and take a listen to an episode I did on racing car sponsorship. There's nothing wrong with wanting a return on investment from having a strong social conscience.   Links & Resources mentioned: Peter Baines' personal website Hands Across The Water Interview with sales guru Nicholas Lynch How to use industry events to get more business How to ensure everything you type is clear, effective & mistake-free   Please support these businesses who make this show possible: Dale Beaumont's 52 Ways – An amazing free 1-day live event for business owners where you'll discover 52 ways to boost your business profits.

Peter Baines is an Australian leadership expert having road tested it the hard way -spending 22 years with the NSW Police leading teams in response to acts of terrorism and natural disasters on a scale not previously seen. Peter led teams into the Bali Bombings and the Boxing Day Tsunami. During these times his leadership theories were tested in trying environments. Deeply touched by the number of children left orphaned by the disaster he was inspired to set up an organisation that could make a significant difference to the lives of these children.  Hands Across the Water is an amazing charity, raising millions without spending one cent of donors' money on admin since its inception.   LINKS   Peter Baines http://peterbaines.com.au   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson    Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Peter Baines has seen some pretty tragic stuff in his time, and has learned a thing or two about leadership in challenging and disruptive environments. Listen in as Peter, from charity Hands Across the Water, shares with us what he has learned.  The biggest surprise for me was that these leadership lessons will apply to almost everyone, as work and life get more and more disrupted.  No tsunami required.   In this chat, we cover: – Where Peter cut his teeth as a forensic police officer, identifying victims of mass disasters all over the world – Peter's key factors for great leadership, a sneak peek from the presentation he will be delivering at the National Safety Convention in September 2016 – A very person-centred approach to leadership - no fancy programs, visions or rhetoric - straightforward concepts that anyone can focus on - The similarities between the Corporate Social Responsibility context and the health and safety context, including alternative ways to measure value   Peter is our there making a difference in the world - which I suppose should also be the aim of anyone caring for the health and safety of people?

Peter Baines is an extraordinary individual. A former forensic investigator, he led international identification teams into Indonesia and Thailand following acts of terrorism and the South East Asian Tsunami. It was his experience of meeting youth left orphaned by that horrific natural disaster in Thailand that compelled Peter to create an Australian charity called Hands Across the Water which has gone on to dramatically improve the lives of both those children and their communities. Against the backdrop of the current acts of terrorism in Europe and the Middle East, Peter and I spoke about the challenges of leadership in times of crisis, the power of community engagement, and why corporate social responsibility should be a profit centre in the 21st century enterprise.
