Podcasts about quick wins

Worrying can take up so much of our time, especially when most of what we worry about never actually happens. This worrying uses up time that could be better spent on the things that truly count, but how can we reduce this and actually free up that time? Oliver Burkeman is a New York Times bestselling author of books such as ‘Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals’ and ‘Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts’. Oliver is also a regular columnist for The Guardian. Oliver shares:

Recognition isn't optional — it's essential.The most powerful leadership tool you have costs nothing, but most leaders were never taught how to use it.Organizations that prioritize recognition save millions in turnover. And it starts with one sentence.Tell someone what they did that made a difference — and why it mattered.⚡️FREE RESOURCE:

Do you find yourself set up for a productive day, only to be derailed by your emails? Checking and replying to emails can eat up so much time - and what’s worse is that the false sense of productivity checking email provides can be very addictive. The problem of spending way too much time in my inbox has been bugging me for some time, so I was very excited to find out that Michael Bungay Stanier has had similar problems and has been working on solutions. Michael is a renowned speaker, teacher and author whose books have sold over 1.5 million copies. In fact, his best known book, The Coaching Habit, topped the Wall Street Journal bestseller list with Brenè Brown calling it “a classic”. He was named #1 Thought Leader in Coaching by Thinkers50, and has been featured in top publications like Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Fast Company. Michael is clearly very busy and can’t afford to waste time on emails, yet he still finds himself procrastinating with them. But he has a lot of strategies and tricks that we might be able to use. Michael shares: Why we get stuck in the cycle of emails even when we know we shouldn’t The techniques and programs we can use to reduce email use Why you might need to use incentives and consequences to enforce your email reduction strategies.

  Podcast Episode Overview: Building Momentum with Quick Wins in CRE In this episode of the commercial real estate agent podcast, we're diving into a powerful topic that can transform your commercial real estate results—creating momentum through quick wins. John Highman shares proven strategies and systems that can help you get more penetration and progress in finding listings and clients in your property market today. Have things changed in the property market this year? Yes, certainly. In today's market, it's more important than ever for agents to get closer to the local area, understand what's happening on the ground, and position themselves as the go-to expert for property solutions. Momentum doesn't happen by chance—it's built through daily, deliberate action. Check out our website here with plenty of other articles on this topic.     People First One of the most effective ways to generate that forward motion is by getting closer to the people in your territory. That means more face-to-face conversations, more local business outreach, and more research into who owns what, what's for lease, and what's for sale. You become more relevant, helpful, and trusted when you know the stories behind the properties and the plans behind the businesses. Think about your property market now and compare it to the last couple of years. Have things changed for you with enquiry and listings? The answer is 'probably'. For that very reason, this podcast today will help you get some momentum back into your focus and activity. Look around your market and check out the property precincts and situations. That is the important research to do. We also cover how to research property types and locations and how that focus helps you uncover untapped opportunities. Don't forget to specialise in property types and precincts. When you know your niche and the key buildings in it, you're more efficient in your prospecting, more strategic in your presentations, and more likely to uncover quick wins that others miss. Agent Consistency Finally, we talk about consistency—the foundation of momentum. Success in real estate doesn't come from a burst of energy once in a while. It comes from turning good actions into great habits. Always keep things simple in your real estate business and activities every day. In this episode, I'll give you simple, practical ideas to bring more structure into your day so you can find listings faster, connect with the right people, and grow your pipeline.

Dom Price was given some pretty bad advice right before he became a father. A well-intentioned friend told him never to share pictures of his overseas work trips with his partner, because it might make her jealous… On his first few long-distance work trips after becoming a dad, Dom didn't want to tell his partner that he was having a good time in case it made her time home alone with their twins feel even more challenging by comparison. But Dom quickly discovered the opposite was true.  Of course, his partner wanted him to have a good time, and she reminded him that if he had to leave them for a week anyway, it would only be truly worthwhile if he got everything possible out of his trip. She also reminded him that leaving the family intermittently for work was actually part of his role as a father, especially as the only breadwinner at the time.  Since then, Dom and his partner have been hyper-conscious of their communication, and pay particular attention to when and why they're feeling guilty as parents and partners.   Connect Dom via X, Linkedin, or on his website.Listen to the full interview here.

In this episode, we tackle the delicate art of managing team conflict effectively. We explore how leaders often get conflict wrong—either by avoiding it completely or jumping in too aggressively—and share practical strategies for navigating disagreements in a way that builds trust rather than erodes it. Join us as we discuss when to step in, when to step back, and how to create an environment where constructive conflict can actually strengthen your team.Key points from this episodeWhy conflict avoidance is often more damaging than the conflict itselfHow to recognise different types of conflict and respond appropriatelyThe importance of listening as your first response to emerging team tensionsWhen to intervene versus when to let team members work through issues themselvesCreating team agreements about handling conflict before problems arise00:00 Introduction and Topic Overview01:00 How Leaders Get Conflict Wrong: Avoidance and Aggression03:00 The Value of Positive Conflict in Teams06:00 Recognising the Different Types of Conflict08:00 The Power of Listening Before Acting12:00 When to Step In vs When to Step Back15:00 Having the Right Conversations at the Right Time19:00 Handling the Team Member Who Consistently Creates Issues22:00 Quick Wins for Better Conflict ManagementUseful LinksFour Types of Conflict EpisodeJoin The Catalyst Career Club for 50k+ LeadersConnect with Pam on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pamelalangan/ Connect with Jacqui on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacqui-jagger/ Interested in working with us?

The need for greater ‘localisation' of humanitarian and social assistance is clear in conflict and protracted crisis settings. The increasing difficulty for international organisations to operate is a key driver of localisation, as is the recognition of the essential role local actors (including government and civil society) play in improving the relevance, legitimacy, sustainability and effectiveness of aid. For social protection programs, the role of government as a local actor may be particularly complex or contested in these settings. This episode will explore the progress and challenges of this shift towards localisation, and how local organisations in Yemen and Southeast Asia have stepped up where international or government systems are weak. Meet our guests: Abeer Al-Absi, Independent Consultant, STAAR Facility and BASIC Research Aung Naing, Research Consultant   For our Quick Wins segment, we welcome Courtenay Cabot Venton, where she talks about the study ‘Passing the Buck: The Economics of Localizing International Assistance' with the Share Trust and the Warande Advisory Centre.   Resources: Humanitarian Activism, Social Protection, and Emergent Citizenship in Myanmar Sustaining Yemeni Capacities for Social Assistance
