"For everything that we do, if you cared this much - just a couple of centimetres of care - it would make all the difference in the world". Marc Haine   Marc Haine and I discuss how small, intentional acts of care can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. From building trust to creating a culture of excellence, this episode is packed with insights on why daring to care just a little bit more matters so much. From his journey in hospitality to leading teams in high-pressure environments, Marc illustrates how intentionality and connection can bridge the gap between mediocrity and excellence. He challenges us all to approach every experience — whether a banquet or a brief conversation — with the same care and dedication. Marc shares a story of Orlando Airport staff handing out free ice cream during a heatwave — an example of how thoughtful gestures, even as small as a scoop of ice cream, can leave a lasting impression. If you've ever wondered how small changes can lead to big impacts, this episode will inspire you to approach interactions with more intentionality and care, no matter the context.   Marc Haine is a customer experience expert, keynote speaker, consultant, and author of Lights! Camera! Action! With 35 years of experience in hospitality, retail, and other customer-facing industries, Marc has created unique frameworks to help organizations build lasting connections to become THE brand of choice.

In episode 16 of Season 2, Arthi has an inspiring conversation with guest Sara Gilbert about living life to your own rules. Sara shares her fascination about wanting to know what makes someone take action. From a young age she challenged everything that came her way, including her parents beliefs. As a result, she never did “fit into the box”. And even though she tried, she knew she was actually losing more of herself in the process. Eventually, everything exploded in her life at once because she knew there was more and she needed to thrive. In a span of two years she let go of her marriage and job. She realised her recipe to make good decisions needed to take effect at that particular point, it was an accumulation over time of course, but in the end, she was able to use that updated recipe to create a life she loves living and thriving in, by defining it, finding an anchor and being curious. Some wise words from Sara:- "There are 3 ways people go through life. They survive life, …there's people who live life….and there are people who thrive life”-"what I want to do, is actually what I am supposed to do”- “Focus not on the lack thereof…instead feed the dream”Listen to the full episode to hear more and be inspired by my guest.About Sara Gilbert:Sara is an Award-winning Business Strategist & Mindset Coach as well as a Keynote Speaker.

We Rise podcast features solutions-seekers, change-makers, and those creating a resilient future. We share stories and strategies to inspire action to build resilience and community transformation. To create change, people need to feel like they belong and that they are part of a growing movement. They need to know their voice matters and that they have the inspiration, agency and ability to transform their lives and their communities. They are the key to a resilient future.     From the Navajo Nation to the mountains of Appalachia, incredible work is being done by community members and leaders. Change is often sparked by inspiration: seeing what others have done, especially in similar situations and places. People see that when someone looks like them or lives in a place like theirs, and has created real, true and lasting change, change that will allow their granddaughters and grandsons to thrive — they begin to imagine what might be possible for them.  No longer waiting for someone else to come and save them, they realize they are the ones they have been waiting for.  But what creates that spark? What creates that inspiration?  Learning through stories and examples, feeling a sense of agency and belonging, and getting fired up to kick ass creates that spark.   We Rise helps community leaders and members learn to forge a new path toward creating resilience and true transformation. One person at a time, one community at a time, one region at a time, the quilt of transformation can grow piece by piece until resilience becomes the norm instead of the exception. Together, we rise.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl whose childhood was full of mud pies and leaf soup, snow castles, and swings. The little girl believed very much that anything was possible and spent much of her time imagining worlds filled with magic and mystery. As she grew up, people told her that "life was not a fairy tale" and "in the real world it was different," and she started to believe this was all true. Yet, no matter how she painted the picture, it was never complete. So the girl decided to change the script and became the Master of Play. The tools we need for navigating change and challenge have been in our back pocket our whole lives, but we left them on the playground long ago. We traded imagination and discovery for stability and steady. But we know that when creativity and innovation intersect people thrive, and profits dramatically increase. COVID has left little space for new, bold, ideas and actions. Now more than ever businesses face larger hurdles in complex problem solving, employee engagement, retention, communication, and ideation. PLAY is the new frontier of creativity and innovation. Play is the catalyst for, undefeatable resilience, increased employee engagement, and empowerment. It's not ping pong tables and pool tables, it's knowing and understanding whole people, what motivates and inspires them and drives them to share ALL of their strengths at work. Brandi Heather is a respected award-winning, passionate trailblazer powered by 25+ years of success developing, directing, and optimizing innovative strategies and programs for education and industry leaders. She is well known for spearheading, influencing critical organizational change initiatives. As the co-founder and co-owner of AMPED2PLAY INC., and best-selling author of Return to Play: Rebuilding Resilience, RIsk, and Reconnection she is helping organizations get back "in play". She is a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS) and frequently speaks about using the power of PLAY for navigating diversity, inclusion, change management, communication, self-care, mental and physical health.

On this episode I chat with Ross about data privacy and the storm in a teacup that is WhatsApp.  We also look at Telegram and Signal and discuss the implications of WhatsApp for business. Ross specialises in data protection and information security, raising awareness and educating staff on the human aspect to what can, and does, go wrong in data protection. As an international speaker, facilitator, and consultant, Ross demystifies technical, security, and legal topics to make them accessible at all levels of the organisation. He started as a paperboy in 1999, perhaps subconsciously influenced by the video game of the same title… His skill improved with practice (both at video games and real life), and his love for games saw him move into the field of IT. He then moved through a range of technical positions, with a brief dalliance in software development. Since then, Ross has spent numerous years in strategic management for a multitude of multinational software companies. Ross has a particular passion for data privacy, having been a victim of identity theft and seeing first hand the impact of data breaches on both individuals and organisations. He aims to help organisations manage their data effectively, avoiding the pitfalls they may not be aware of. His “happy place” is the intersection between business, technology, and people. He has a passion for helping companies get the best out of their business process and technology, all while improving the way that teams of people interact with these systems and each other. Ross loves simplifying the mysteries of technology and enabling people across the business spectrum, be it via speaking, training, or consulting. Ross holds a Masters Degree in the Management of Technology and Innovation, is a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/E) and is an EC Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). He is a past National President of the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa (PSASA), and is a Professional Member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS) and the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).

Today's podcast is a live webinar presented by Evelyn Ackah, Canada Immigration Lawyer to the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers: CAPS. What Is a Business Visitor? As a Canadian going to the United States, business visitor activity is not work from an immigration perspective. It's more about are you going there with a prearranged engagement? Have you been paid? Are you being paid in the U.S.? You don't want that if you don't have a work permit. So business visitor, we can get honorariums, you can get your expenses paid for, there's a lot more flexibility. U.S. Visa Options NAFTA B-1 and TN visas are probably the main U.S. visa options that will affect a speaker travelling to the United States. An O and P visa could also that'll probably affect you. You are not actually seen to be entering the U.S. labor market. Generally speaking as a NAFTA business visitor: you have to be a Canadian citizen you have to be going down for meetings you can do sales activity you can do trainings depending on the context of training

In this next of our series of themed episodes, we continue on the topic of speaking professionally. Marvin and Fred talk to four more contemporary champions of motivational speaking at the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS) convention. The common undercurrent is: “You need a little help from your friends in business.” Getting acquainted with the business side of show business is important. Things like bookkeeping, accounting and contracts. That can be a lot to learn, so it might make more sense to find people who not only are experts in those activities, but also enjoy doing them the same way you enjoy acting, music, dance, painting, etc. Those people exist. You simply need to expand your personal and professional network to a point where you have a group of experts in different arenas of show business to help you make decisions that are in your best interest. In this episode you’ll hear: Patricia Fripp on how to generate conversations at social events that could lead to professional engagements. Hint: Once again it involves friends promoting each other for mutual benefit. Peter Legge on the need for initiative and creative promotional strategies. Michelle Cederberg on the importance of drive coupled with fitness so that your creativity is stoked by your healthy balance of sleep, diet and exercise. Hugh Culver on the importance of creating a team of associates to assist in supporting your blog so that your audience is served without you having to be deeply involved on a daily basis. Once again we learn that no one of us is as smart as all of us!

How can you go viral without even trying? One way is to strike a strong emotional chord and have fun while doing it. Satire is a strong pull. Dave Carroll sang his way into YouTube history and about 400 textbooks on customer service and public relations with his viral video, United Breaks Guitars. He also made Time Magazine's list of top 10 viral videos in 2009. Impressive! Dave started as a musician with his brother in a group called the Sons of Maxwell and they made a good living touring the world for 20 years. Then an incident one fateful day in 2008 on the tarmac at O’Hare Airport in Chicago triggered a series of events that changed his life forever. It also … eventually … caused many changes in customer service at large corporations around the world. Dave tells the story behind his meteoric rise as a storyteller in this interview at the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS)2016 convention in Edmonton, Canada. This convention took place (ironically!) at a hotel attached to the Edmonton International Airport! CAPS is dedicated to the professional development of motivational speakers, keynote presenters, business coaches and meeting facilitators from all over Canada. Many of their busiest members also belong to the National Speakers Association (NSA), the American version of CAPS. Displaying an attitude associated with Canadians, one of Dave’s more essential messages in this interview is: “Saying ‘sorry’ is never a bad idea.” Hear Dave out and then … For a little YouTube flashback visit, the full story and a glimpse of all three versions of the United Breaks Guitars song visit www.unitedbreaksguitars.com For all other media insights, stick with Monetizing Your Creativity!
