The Expert Podcast takes a different tangent this week with Carmen and Nic doing a preview of the Professional Speakers Australia Convention 2023 in Melbourne. When they were talking Carms was about to head over to deliver her workshop there was a chance to preview the line-up, the expectations of the event but also a chance to explore the opportunity for experts and business owners to get more involved with speaking. The speaking industry took a massive hit with the pandemic taking its toll on people coming together and there was a shift from in-person events to putting everything online. Now we are back delivering to people and not screens Carmen is reminding speakers that there is a revenue stream still to be taken of advantage of with online. You need to be very good at it though because the expectations are high online and there is no room for mediocrity. One of the directions that a vast majority of media experts are looking to do is getting on the speaking circuit. On the other hand there is a lot of professional speakers that are looking to get in the media. Speakers and Experts are very much aligned with their goals in that they are required to be present and ready to take up an opportunity and the stage and media is highly valued. Being able to communicate in front of a camera is a talent that for many experts' kind of try and in most cases will run away from the opportunity because we don't feel we are good enough. We need to work on this skill because while Covid required us to do this we will need to be doing more of it in the future. Not just for the sake of working with media or delivering speaking opportunities but also for our own marketing and building of audience. It's an essential form of communication that we all need to master from the CEO down.

Our next guest is a Business Strategist, Designer, Podcast Host, Keynote Speaker, and Blacksmith. Whether stalking the big stage, going global from his private studio, or rocking a comedy club, he brings passion, humor, and insight to every discussion. For over 25 years, he has been working with passionate yet frustrated business people to transform the way they grow their organizations. An award-winning business owner, founder of the Forge Business Program, host of the Marketing Report Podcast, Past National President of Professional Speakers Australia, and father of 3 feisty children. Please join me in welcoming...Russell Pearson. Introducing Russell Pearson What problem do you solve? He helps close the gap between marketing and sales, and he also helps you decide what you want from life. What three problems do you solve? How do I actually make connections to my ideal clients? What sort of business can I have? At the end of the day, what do I need to do to get it? Show Notes: Referrals are someone else making a decision about who you work with. Understand who you want to work with. You don't have to pretend to be someone else, just be more you. There are two sides to the coin: Yes, you need to understand who you are to attract the right people. You also need to be disciplined enough to do things that need consistency. You need to be connecting with people on a weekly (if not daily) basis. You won't have opportunities if you're not connecting. What's the process for connection? You want your clients to know, like, and trust you. People do enjoy content creation, but they often do it to avoid connection. Branding is taking yourself and your business to make something completely unique and exciting. People will experience the way you solve things in a way they haven't before. Ask people if they want help. If you don't ask, you don't get it. Can you use a social media platform to reach more of your audience? Have communication with people who you will love to work with and people who will love to work with you. Russell says it was important when he learned to say yes to things, and by saying yes to things, he found himself in situations where he could step up and step in. To stay relevant, you should be in constant communication with your clients (both past, present, and future). Russell Pearson's Recharge Round What habit do you think has led to success in your life? Russell always says yes to opportunities, and when he has too many opportunities, he gets clear about what he wants. If you had one do-over, what would it be? He would realize sooner that he can actually have anything he wants and that he doesn't have to give something up to get it.

Janet M. Harvey, author of Invite Change: Lessons from 2020, The Year of No Return, is CEO of inviteCHANGE, a coaching organization that shapes a world where people love their life's work. An early adopter for creating a coach-centered workplace, Janet has trained and coached leaders at Fortune 500 companies, across 6 continents, for more than 25 years. TALKING POINTS The Gallup data released July 2021 of this year shows that only 36% or employees are actively engaged in organizations in the US and 20% globally. If 36% of employees are actively engaged, then it means 64% are not actively engaged. That's an underperforming organization, let alone what says about the poor employee experience that managers are allowing to happen. And there are 2 categories in the ‘not actively engaged' – those who are going through the motions, which means the organization is not getting their discretionary energy. They have it, but they're not using it at work. And the number of actively disengaged means they're toxic in the workforce. There they are in a bad mood. They are judgmental. They're disruptive and they're actively looking for another job! The blame game of the rear-view mirror. What parts of your life story contradict belief in your essence and blocks the vitality and actions that maximize potential.

TALKING POINTS [15:22 - 15:53] I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro for my 50th birthday, which was an incredible experience. When I got back I wrote the book because I was so impressed with the leadership skills of the Tanzanian guide who took us to the top of the mountain.

[21:45 - 22:29] There's a shift from command and control style of leadership to collaborative leadership and then transformative leadership. And now it's really the humanizing of leadership, the ability to really understand and care and acknowledge people and their efforts and input. There's a global desire for talent right now and if you don't genuinely care for the person already in your business, it's likely they're off somewhere else.

Michelle Bowden explains her ground-breaking persuasion model to understand persuasion and influence and identify what type of influencer you are. TALKING POINTS ✅ [2:32 - 2:55] I am fascinated by persuasive presenting in business, rather than just how to stand and gesture, how to breathe properly and how to use your voice. How do we go to a meeting and say whatever we've got to say and get people in the meeting to do something different, that we want them to do? ✅ [26:06 - 26:17] The law of requisite variety states that the person who can demonstrate the most flexibility in the communication moment is the person who holds the power. ✅ [28:18 - 28:30] There are three phases to a good presentation - analysis, design, then delivery. Analysis is where you work out, what do I want to achieve? ✅ [29:14 - 29:32] My model is called the Persuasion Blueprint. Linguistic patterns are the way you combine your words in your sentences. When you use these linguistic patterns cleverly, it makes you persuasive.

This week's conversation is with Irish author and podcaster, Aidan McCullen. His ground-breaking book, 'Undisruptable' features a chapter on the S-Curve model of innovation and change. TALKING POINTS [0:58 - 1:06] Aidan McCullen is host of The Innovation Show podcast and exemplifies the permanent reinvention mindset. [1:33 - 1:44] I discovered one of the root causes of employee demotivation in my business was not looking after the S-Curve, just assuming if I pay them to do a job, they should just do it. Mistake! [2:01 - 2:44] S-Curves were made popular in the 1960s by Everett Rogers in his book, 'The diffusion of innovations'. Picture in your mind the shape of an S. It's used to map any product lifecycle or learning curve or the arc of life itself. [3:17 - 3:31] Until I read your book, 'Undisruptable', I thought the S-Curve was just growth, scale, and maturity. But you make the distinction there's six phases. So tell us about the first phase please Aidan. ABOUT AIDAN MCCULLEN Aidan McCullen is a transformational consultant and Adjunct Professor at Trinity College Dublin where he runs a module called Emerging Trends and Technologies.

[6:43] What did you figure out was the reason they let you go? [7:41 - 7:47] I was not used to leading a team. I was not used to the politics of an organization. [8:16 - 8:24] There was definitely friction as I moved towards my mission, which was the opposite of what they wanted to do. [12:11 - 12:26] Leadership is the ability to build relationships to achieve our goals together with compassion, accountability. [12:56 - 13:01] Leadership is putting relationships first. Most people think it's intelligent to put results first. [13:56 - 13:58] How did your leadership evolve? [14:05 - 14:12] I was out of my depth for a time and had to adjust constantly. But then you adapt, that's the first part of it. And then the second part is intention to get better.

[2:03 - 2:08] What did you learn about the customer experience at Walt Disney world? [2:15 - 2:24] The Disney company can take any mundane, boring thing and turn it into an experience. [2:58] I call it Disneyfication - creating experiences out of the mundane e.g. answer the phone, send an email, send a package. Why don't you make an experience out of them? [4:15 - 4:31] We come up with a service map; every interaction with a client or patient. Whether it's marketing at the front desk, a telephone call, etc, every single point is mapped out. [16:56] Walt Disney himself called it 'Plus It', which is constant process improvement. [23:57] If a doctor's front desk person anticipates the doctor is running late, they can provide anticipatory service. When the patient checks in they just say, "Hey we're really sorry. The doctor's running about 10 minutes behind. Let us buy you a cup of coffee" and hand them a $5 gift card for a coffee.

[1:26 - 1:36] A small percentage of leaders and organizations see this time as a time to innovate and change. [1:40 - 1:50] An even smaller percentage recognize they will have to put in an effort to reconstruct the social and emotional health of the team after everything we've been through. [2:06 - 2:27] There's been an emphasis on business continuity and it's working. People put their head down and really worked hard and sustained stress for a long period of time. [3:34 - 3:46] People are quite heroic in crisis. It is after the crisis when things unravel, and that's what we're seeing now. [10:18 - 10:22] People want to be intentional about how they design their lives. [10:44 - 11:07] Some organizations will do well by this because they're dialed in. They connect on a personal level. [11:45 - 12:09] I had a conversation with a CEO who said as soon as COVID is over, they will mandate everybody come back. I said, 'Did you hear that? That's the sound of your competition doing a triple somersault off their desk because they're going to be interested in your best employees!' [14:46 - 14:52] Architecture firms are redesigning office space to foster innovation, creativity, connection. [18:04 - 18:30] We spend billions on training and it is largely ineffective. It does not stick. Ask people what they remember about a program they liked a week later. and they will not be able to tell you specific things about it. And yet we keep throwing money at that process. We could do better. [19:34 - 19:41] Coaching and spacing that experience over time and creating accountability where people are taking actions, you'd see real change.

[2:33] To ensure that the business benefits are achieved, the way they were intended, if you're not putting people as part of your risk matrix and your risk considerations, then you can be blindsided by the reaction people will have to whatever this great solution is, particularly if they have not been brought along on the journey. If people were the last to find out that the project was even supposed to do that. So then the buy-in's not congruent to the delivery of on time and on budget. [3:15] Risk matrix.

How can a company follow price optimization for competitive advantage and increased profitability? Mistake: Companies often incentivize their salespeople on revenue generated, rather than on profits. Mistake: Many companies fear the uproar of a price change and hold prices at the same level for too long, ignoring changes in costs, competitive environment and customer preferences.

Your goal is not to focus so much on the sale but to build up trust with people, so they tell you where they stand. How does that work? You say it's a myth that sales is a numbers game.

The old sales model is outdated and sales teams should move away from old language and methods into a modern approach. What is the new language salespeople should use? What are some mistakes sales managers make?. What are some outdated sales methods to avoid? You write that most businesses focus on how much they are selling and making, yet they don't focus on how much they're losing. How does that work? What practical changes can people managers make in their sales team's approach? === ABOUT ARI GALPER In a world where trust has become currency in the new economy, Ari Galper is the world's number 1 authority on trust-based selling. Endless chasing can be a dehumanising process. Ari is on a mission to re-invent sales by anchoring values of integrity and trust through Trust-Based Selling. In his book, "Unlock The Sales Game", Ari describes why having a mindset focusing on getting to the truth, instead of “getting the sale” is ironically 10 times more profitable. He's been featured in CEO Magazine and Forbes.

What's a mistake managers do, that if they didn't, would make a positive difference to team effectiveness? How can a people manager inspire a team to continuously improve their productivity? 'Win Fast' CHAPTER: Spend more time in Field Four, Field 1 - things you're terrible at Field 2 - reasonably good at Field 3 - excellent at Field 4 - stuff you are fabulous at and also enjoy. Always look for the limiting factor Eli Goldratt, and his book ‘The Goal' and his Theory of Constraints, to identify the key challenge or constraint which is the single limiter to your progress and focus on fixing constraints as a way to move forward. Live by the 64/4 rule Focus on the most important 20% of that 20%, that means 4% of what you do accounts for 64% of all your results, focus on the top 4% of your current activities. Do your most important tasks first Schwab technique – do a list of your top 6 items end of day, ready for the next day. My three success protection questions Every month ask yourself: Q1. What do I currently asssume is true that might not be? Q2: What could possibly go wrong? Q3. What could I do if things went wrong? Use ZBT - Zero Base Thinking - to quickly Transform your life Look at the major areas in your life and ask yourself, ‘Knowing what I know now, would I still have done this?' Got any examples of how using ZBT thinking has got people out feeling obliged or being stuck in a situation that isn't serving them? Apply the plus one method Ask yourself, ‘What's one thing I could do right now to move this project forward?' Something small, something quick, something easy to make happen. Put on someone else's head. What would Einstein, Donald Trump, the chess grandmaster, Kasparov, do?

#44 Selling using radical value, with Mark Boundy

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 14, 2021 45:07

Company leaders and managers need to radically rethink how they sell. They know they need to be customer focused but don't know what that means or how to measure it. What is value? Value is about customer outcomes. Customers buy outcomes; not the products or services we think we are selling them. Grow the desireability of an outcome. Yet one of the pitfalls of leading salespeople is that some have a tendency to skip steps to win. How do value-focused companies act, feel and perform radically differently? SILOS – how do customers' silos limit the value you bring? Silo-limited customers with narrow buying processes lock salespeople into poorly differentiated selling processes. What is DIFFERENTIATION? Something that only you can deliver. How do you differentiate? How do you uncover value for the customer? How can a salesperson guide a customer to a better decision? What is VALUE-BASED PROSPECTING – ‘I recently achieved this outcome' . . . PRICE is the mother's milk of profits. What can you tell us about pricing power? Cost-cutting; You can't shrink your way to growth. You urge companies to make everyone who comes in contact with a customer to act and think like a seller looking for value gaps. What can People Managers do to make it all work? ABOUT MARK BOUNDY Mark Boundy has worked in electronic components, telecom services, finance for commercial real estate, and banking. In all those industries, his was the highest priced option, which means Mark is an expert on value. He's author of Radical Value', which describes the importance of customer-centricity.

How does someone start to think about being a CEO or any C-suite position? 1. Break the task into component parts – leading self, leading others, leading the enterprise. 2. Be honest with yourself about what you're good at and not good. Ask youself, 'Can I make the leap from contributor to leader?' 3. For any CEO role, look at the Board and major shareholders and ask, 'Could I have a good partnership with these people? Am I the right fit?' To prepare to become CEO, take a structured approach with these 5 phases: 1. Creative Foundations – your values, purpose, what sort of organisation you want to lead, strengths, experience and skills and also how you are perceived. 2. Get context and role-specific - strengthen skills and demonstrate performance across the 9 areas of CEO competency; be crystal clear on your strengths and derailers. 3. Presentation and practice - about the narrative of where you would take the organisation; SCR model. 4. Interviews – why would we trust you with leading the organisation? Personal qualities, skills, experience and how you would plug your gaps. 99 questions list. 5. Transition – the plan for time management, communications, short and medium term hires and exits. Why do the work of preparation? Because you have so much coming at you, so fast, these days you need to have your stuff together! Be the best equipped you can.

Customers today care less about your marketing claims and more about your convenience, differentiation and speed of delivery. Despite the move to self-serve, and do-it-yourself, when you deny customer the option of talking to a real person, they will deny you their business. Social proof rules the day. People give far more weight to what others say about you than what you say about yourself. Great products, brilliant leaders and game-changing technology can all be negated by a few negative online comments and reviews. Few customers actually care about your passion, your "why" or your "story." They care about their "why" and how doing business with you benefits them. Customer service is always important, but less of a factor when so much of the buying process is automated or do-it-yourself. Loyalty has become less about the service and more about how your customers perceived the ease and speed of your buying experience. Here's the New Reality in Business: Competitive advantage today comes from eliminating friction in your buying process, and delivering an easy, intuitive and fast Customer Experience. In short, the winners in business today are companies that are extraordinarily easy to do business with!

Are little white lies the slippery slope to lack of integrity? Find out your IQ - Integrity Quotient – with this quiz at https://www.integrityintensive.com/ posing dilemmas from life and work e.g. telling white lies to get out of a lunch appointment or getting out of agreements you've made. In this podcast episode of ‘Manage Self, Lead Others' I interview renowned ethicist, Stuart H Brody, on how to cultivate the practice of integrity. His book, ‘The Law of Small Things: Creating a Habit of Integrity in a Culture of Mistrust' is available on Amazon amzn.to/3cD7yFn TALKING POINTS Stuart challenges the listener with some true-to-life ethical dilemmas and suggests even a ‘white lie' habituates us to lack of truthfulness, making it considerably harder to be truthful in bigger things. He exposes our illusions of moral competence and urges us to practice integrity and truthfulness in the little things, so we can act with integrity in situations where consequences are far-reaching. Here's the link to the video interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEZOySOo2U0 TALKING POINTS · If you start telling even white lies on small things, a process begins of avoiding truthfulness. And once that starts, it's a slippery slope leading to bigger things. · There's a duty of truthfulness. People know a white lie is not the right thing to do. They know they're being lazy or self-interested or sparing someone's feelings, when really, it's sparing their own embarrassment. It's avoiding the obligation to come up with a truthful explanation of why you're canceling. · In the Integrity Intensive quiz one question is about a manager who confides to you they plan to lay off one of your colleagues. But you know that colleague is about to buy a new house; you're concerned if they don't have a job it might create financial disaster. That's a dilemma. You have both a duty of loyalty to your boss, but there's an implied duty of truthfulness with your friend who is about to buy a house. Now you're on the horns of a dilemma. You've got a duty of loyalty, one of truthfulness. These come up at work and they're always clashing. · Integrity is really the skill of identifying promises you make, both explicitly as well as implied, in everyday life. Implied promises are harder to see, yet most of the promises we make are implied. ABOUT STUART H BRODY Renowned ethicist, Stu Brody has served prominently in law, politics and academia. He has appeared before the Supreme Court, written numerous articles on dispute settlement and employee relations, advised Presidential candidates, served as counsel to state government on ethics and lectures nationally on matters of ethics and integrity.

This episode we're turning the mic around for a reverse interview with Nina Sunday by Pip Savaris, one of Nina's inhouse assistants. TALKING POINTS The Google company's PeopleLab Project Aristotle investigated the attributes of a manager that contribute to engagement and effectiveness. Social sensitivity means picking up subtle, nonverbal cues that only teams or individuals with high emotional intelligence will pick up. Behavior in team meetings: Fast talkers express their opinions with confidence, while reflective, introvert members of the team might withhold saying what they think. Does profitability come from focusing on results? Or is focusing on culture the answer? And what is culture anyway? Is it socializing together, celebrating birthdays, seasonal holidays? Look after purpose and profitability follows. Look after culture, profitability and results follow. The second attribute of a high-performing team is conversational equality, as discovered by Google's research project, Project Aristotle. Tool to facilitate conversational equality is the Talking Stick. Anecdote about U.S. Senator Susan Collins using a talking stick to break a deadlock between Democrats and Republicans. What's now becoming best practice is to scrap performance reviews and instead have regular one-on-ones, because fast feedback is important. More than one expert in leadership talks about the importance of starting the day with a 10 minute huddle. What's important too is sense of belonging. Patrick Lencioni talks about fear of conflict as one of the dysfunctions of a team. There's a difference between trust and psychological safety. And trust can be superficial. You may not say what you really think for fear that you will be disliked. I just learned that it's more important to tell the truth than to be liked or to be approved. The eight good behaviors of a manager and the flip side is, what are the poor behaviors we need to avoid? The world is moving slowly towards a better, best practice. If you can be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, it creates a wonderful ripple effect.

If you figure out how to do inclusion properly, you will gain commitment instead of compliance, and achieve more loyalty and creativity. 3 immutable forces around inclusion that will never change; 1 dominance 2 unconscious bias – have to be vigilant 3 degrees of difference Permeable factors: 1 affinity bias – 'mini-me' syndrome 2 assimilation – if people withhold their best ideas, leaders are not getting their best selves, they're getting a simulator. 3 political correctness – walking on egg shells; afraid to speak to each other across differences. Can't give honest feedback because might be accused of being racist. A leader has to listen to creative people e.g. Google company allows people to work 10% of time on their own projects. Psychological safety – one thing leaders can do is to go round the meeting, even a Zoom room, and ask each person to speak without interruption. While it's time-consuming, it buys you loyalty and commitment, because everyone's voice matters.

< 34.16 > TALKING POINTS Gabrielle Dolan spent 17 years working for National Australia Bank in a senior leadership role in change management and project management. She experienced firsthand the challenges of communicating. 'As a leader, you think you've communicated, but then people aren't getting the message,' Gabrielle says. Gabrielle noticed that when she shared a story to communicate a message, people not only understood the message, but more importantly, they better remembered the message. And then she noticed good leaders were sharing stories. At 3-day conferences with speaker after speaker, the brilliant ones were brilliant because of stories. We need all the facts and figures and data, but it's stories that create emotional connection. People make decisions based on emotion, but they then search for evidence to support that emotional decision. Types of stories: Origin stories e.g. the origin of Mattel's Barbie doll, Creation stories, how the company started or how the product started. A company doesn't want to lose their corporate memory of stories. We can teach people the value of storytelling, educating so they share stories more effectively but also find stories from the past that we can use to inspire the future e.g. show the vision or the values and the behaviors of what we try to live by as a company. A manager can pose a question such as, tell me a time when one of you did something for a customer that made a difference to them, or tell me about a time when you felt really proud to work for this organization. I might bring 20 people together, some from the front line, senior people, junior people and ask them questions. Someone will tell a story and then someone goes, ‘Oh yeah, that reminds me of . . .' In 2 hours you could probably hear 50 stories; five or 10 are absolute gold. And at the end people go, ‘I just feel so proud to work here.' ABOUT GABRIELLE DOLAN Gabrielle Dolan holds a master's degree in management and leadership from Swinburne University, an associate diploma in education and training from the University of Melbourne, and is a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School of Executive Education. Gabrielle is the bestselling author of 'Real Communication: How to be you and lead true', a finalist in the Australian Business Leadership Book Awards for 2019.

< 26:06 > TALKING POINTS You've got to be constantly evolving or you have no right to lead others. Cultivate a fascination with expanding your epistemology i.e. the sum total of your knowledge, skills and experience, to date. My latest book, Shift Culture, refers to self-leadership principles. I introduce a praying mantis character called Sol, short for solitude. Show me someone who's effective as a self-leader and they most likely give themselves what I call solitude time. They use the Sol Principle and, like the praying mantis, sit quietly 3 to 4 times a week for around 20 minutes, reconnecting with their mission, their purpose, their goals, their aspirations; shutting down the noise; to hear quiet whisperings come through, nudging them in the direction their soul, their spirit, wants to go. The Sol Principle is about the discipline of creating time to re-energize through solitude. R.E.A.P.A. model - Relax - Envision - Assess - Patience - Act How can a leader encourage team members to demonstrate more self-leadership? Have solitude thinking sessions; 15 - 20 minutes, sit quietly, think about the issues and the problems; tap into your subconscious mind. Come back with a couple of ideas. Before we jump into acting, let's just apply the REAPA process. Give people a chance to change their physiology, do something different than just sitting around the meeting table.

< 26:15 > TALKING POINTS What is an intrapreneur? They are an entrepreneur who works inside an organization. They are an organization's lifeblood. Intrapreneurs often ask the difficult questions. They are likely to step up and challenge the status quo and ask, ‘Why are we doing it this way?' But they need to do a lot of groundwork so people can be ready to hear what they have to say. The intrapreneurialism movement is so important right now How can an organization foster an intrapreneurial culture? Firstly, identify the entrepreneurs. How? Profile your workforce. Secondly, give people permission to experiment, permission to think differently, permission to use their creativity, permission, to put their hand up and say, we could do this in a different or better way. ABOUT DR IRENA YASHIN-SHAW Dr Irena Yashin-Shaw is on a mission to liberate underutilised talent within workplaces. Spearheading the intrapreneurialism movement in Australia and globally, she founded the Global Intrapreneurs Institute and is founder and editor–in-chief of Intrapreneur Magazine.

< 30:09 > TALKING POINTS The most innovative companies look across three areas; process, product and service. Why is it important for a manager to lead innovation and how can that be done? Innovation can make a massive difference. It relieves job boredom and can bring a new lease of life; an energy that wasn't there before. An innovative company doesn't need a whiz-bang product. It could be what's happening internally. If you can innovate your process, then that's automatically going to increase the valuation or the multiple of your EBIT. Mistakes: 3 types: real mistake - wrong process executed blackout - part of the process forgotten slip-up - right process executed incorrectly How a manager can lead innovation: facilitate an innovation exercise generate insights and ideas validate and prototype effectively pitch to convey the value of the idea Insights: 3 criteria: how workable? how unmet? how winnable? Ideas criteria: how technical? how easy or difficult? financial return? Tactically, does this idea solve a problem the organisation wants or needs solved? Does it relate to the bigger picture? How many unknowns are there? Use a scoring process to evaluate. COVID created a paradigm shift and given people a new opportunity to lead an inspirational culture. ABOUT NILS VESK, CSP Nils' research identified the major cause of this problem is that our biases get in the way of innovating. Nils has reinvented the innovation process through the use of innovation archetypes. Nils' quest is how to deal with obstructions to innovation. Professionally trained as a designer, Nils Vesk uses ‘Design thinking' to become Australia's ‘Innovation Architect'. Nils is the author of: ‘Innovation Archetypes , democratising innovation' (2015), and coming up soon, his new book, 'Re-invention Sprint'.

< 23:26 > This episode we're turning the mic around for a reverse interview with Nina Sunday by a member of the podcast crew, Maeve Bailey. TALKING POINTS What are common business writing mistakes? If you use too many words when you write, the recipient takes longer to read it; can be harder to decipher. Seeing a sea of words without white space or layout or bullets might create a ripple effect of the recipient putting the email aside to read later, slowing down the chain of communication. What are top complaints about email communication? - old subject lines re-used for a new subject - not taking time to add a courtesy salutation - long sentences that are hard to follow; write one sentence, one idea - red flag words that turn off the reader e.g. ‘unfortunately', ‘you should' - unnecessary words making it too wordy The five sentences initiative - all email responses to be 5 sentences or less. Quick wins to eliminate needless words – avoid qualifiers. Pet peeve – unnecessary apostrophe in plurals e.g. video's, book's, etc. When to use apostrophe to show possession and in contractions. The contraction, ‘could've', pronounced as ‘could of'; subsequently leading to being spelled as ‘could of'. Eww! Add positive tone to emails to influence and build rapport, considering emails are words only with tone of voice, body language and facial expression absent. Redundancy is unnecessary repetition adding to wordiness e.g. ‘reason why', ‘close proximity'. How bullets or dot points aid comprehension and memory, and provide white space that is visually inviting to read. Techniques to avoid writer's block: - plan a document with pen and paper away from your desk; get your brain into big picture mode. - turn paper to landscape instead of portrait - ask who, what, where, when, why, how? - freewriting technique When to pick up the phone instead of emailing? - the power to influence a yes response comes from picking up the phone.- seek first to understand; don't start an email war - any time you find yourself writing and rewriting a particular paragraph because it's hard to explain, it's time to pick up the phone.

Today, we continue the conversation with one of Australia’s leading speaking professionals. Lisa Evans is a Business StoryTelling Consultant and CEO of Speaking Savvy and Soft Skills Academy.This wasn’t always her career however, as she was one of those women who found her dream-career very young as a nurse and midwife. From her home in London, she saw an ad in the paper for a quick 12-wk stint in Australia and somehow, someway, she is still here 20yrs later: married with children! But a devastating illness was not part of her dream path (or was it) which forced her to leave her life-long dream work. Lisa began to build herself into a whole new version of of who she’d once been – testament to that transformation: she is now a TedX speaker coach, author of 4 books, supremely trained in many genres of speaking and behavioural programming. These days, her focus is ultimately helping business leaders deliver captivating stories that are hard to forget.But in these latter years of her life, giving back is what pulls her forward: hosting a morning radio show in Perth and then there’s her sell-out storytelling charity event “Stories from the Heart” – featured as one of the top attractions at the Perth Fringe Festival Shall we step into this Lisa and start sharing??The Goods on Lisa:Lisa Evans is Perth’s leading Speaking and Business Storytelling Consultant and the CEO of Speaking Savvy and Soft Skills Academy. Lisa is the author of four books, a Certified Speaking and Storytelling Coach, a TEDx Speaker Coach, an accredited business coach - International Coaching Federation, Certified Genos Emotional Intelligence Practitioner, Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Sketchnote Artist and Graphic Facilitator. She is one of fewer than 150 people in Australia to hold the designation of Certified Speaking Professional, and a Certified Virtual Presenter by E-Speakers USA.In her spare time, Lisa volunteers as an improvisation actor for Perth Playback Theatre, is a Board Director for Professional Speakers Australia and hosts a weekly morning radio show In Good Company on 89.7 FM. Lisa helps leaders to mine, refine and deliver captivating ‘sticky’ stories for their business and brand. Whether it is the boardroom, ballroom, platform or podium, she helps them craft compelling stories that are hard to forget.As a way of giving back to the community, Lisa hosts a storytelling charity event Stories From The Heart. For over four years the show has consistently sold out including performances at Perth Fringe Festival with a five-star rating. Before her transformation, Lisa worked for 20 years as a midwife. A devastating illness meant leaving her career and finding a new calling; to bring stories into the world. She is known by many as The Story Midwife.
