Building and managing a remote team is very different than doing it in the office. How can you successfully lead your people virtually? How do you create trust and allow for a proper and ongoing communication stream? Richard Phu, the Head of Operations at Outsourcing Angel, is going to walk us through that and much more today. Richard is an expert on successfully creating and leading remote teams, and he's got a lot to divulge about this topic. He'll share with us exactly how much and how often you should be communicating if you have a remote team, and how to best establish rapport with each and every member while supporting them along their individual career journey. Most of all, we'll be discussing the importance of having moments of reflection. Richard makes sure his team sets time and space to keep looking for new things instead of falling into the ‘busyness' trap of running from fire to fire. There's definitely no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to leading your folks virtually, but the strategies Richard will share today are tried and tested, and can definitely be applied to better the performance of any virtual team. As Richard says so himself, it is harder to manage remote teams, but harder means different.

His role is Chief Operating Manager at Outsourcing Angel. He is great at building systems and processes, to allow both business owners and virtual assistants to co-exist in virtual freedom. Richard has a strong foundation in critical thinking, analytical thinking, and varied experience which enables him to operate in dynamic environments across different industries. He's also a mindset coach, dating expert, and podcast host and he helps men who are trapped, confused, or who are over-thinking in their lives to transform into focused, confident, and respected men.

This week's guest is Lucy McCarraher, co-founder of the Hybrid publishing house Rethink Press & author of 12 books including A Book of One's Own – a manifesto for women to share their expertise and make a difference. She helps you write & publish a book that will transform your business whilst creating a realisable work/life integration. Book publishing has done well during the pandemic; perhaps because people were more focused, or had more time on their hands, or at least time to reflect on what they have become experts in and now wanted to share. Lucy was always passionate about books and after a winding career in performance, TV and magazines in Australia, having two sons, going through a divorce, she returned to the UK.Writing several books herself, she eventually teamed up with Joe Gregory to create Rethink Press, a hybrid publisher that positions people as experts and their books as their calling cards. As well as setting up a coaching and mentoring side to the business Lucy also established the Business Book Awards, which, over time she and her team have ensured have become fully representative across all categories.Thank you so much Lucy for championing women and helping them bring their expertise, experience, positive impact and influence to the world so that we start to read more nuanced and diverse books that reflect the lives we live and the businesses we run.Thanks also for showing us that even in our busy lives we can carve out space to write and share our books for the benefit of others. You can find out more about Lucy's work at www.lucymccarraher.com and follow her on Linkedin @lucymccarraher Join Lou on Linkedin, or sign up to her mailing list for her newsletter and a free podcast guesting mini-guide.

Every business has a story to tell. Don't be afraid to tell it. This week, I'm delighted to be interviewing Lucy McCarraher, who is the founder of Rethink Press and the Business Book Awards, and also the author of 13 books -– three novels, four self-help books and six books on writing, including A Book of One's Own – a manifesto for women to share their experience and make a difference, and Bookbuilder (with Joe Gregory). Episode Highlights: {0:52} Lucy explains how she came to write 13 books. {1:43} Lucy talks about founding Rethink Press. {2:40} On the benefits of publishing a book: You get clarity when you plan and write a book in detail.

It's not an overt sales tool, but when you send out your book to your prospects and clients, it tells them what you do. {4:07} There's a thing what I call ‘book magic', for every author something really amazing and unexpected will happen because their book has got into the hands of somebody. {5:20} On how you can repurpose your book manuscript. {10:05} Lucy explains what her Book Builder program is.

Putting yourself out there is one of the scariest parts about becoming an entrepreneur. Especially when your business is built around you. This fear is no stranger to me...or to Nkiru. In this episode we sift through the head trash that kept us in the shadows and we're throwing it all in the dumpster so you don't have to. Note: in this episode we talk about things from the perspective of being women in business. Regardless of how you feel about the societal buzzword/shitstorm surrounding the concept of “feminism”, I think these topics impact us all. So I challenge you to listen with an open mind - do that and you're going to get some gold nuggets. Can't-Miss Moments From This Episode:One entrepreneurial myth I'd like to see busted, smashed, and set on fire: if your work is good, if you're talented, eventually you'll get noticed (BZZT! Wrong! Here's why...) What's really going on with all those successful people you admire who “have it all together” (hint: are you really comparing apples to oranges?) There's one thing business coaches do that drives me NUTS. If you get one who promises this, run screaming into the night as fast as you can Two tricks Nkiru and I regularly use to get shit done in our businesses, even when the fear is so intense it threatens to derail everything When you're the brand for your business, are you also the “thing for sale”? We dig into the idea of persona as a product, and how it impacts your successThis one is jam-packed full of advice. Don't miss out - listen now!Nkiru's Bio:Nkiru Asika is a marketing strategist, speaker and coach with a background as an award-winning journalist, social enterprise founder and TV producer.

  ‘A book helps you to have a voice and for that voice to be heard. It’s a business tool like no other, nothing impresses people like a book’  Lucy McCarraher is the Co-founder and Managing Editor of Re-Think Press, a hybrid press publishing the books of entrepreneurs. She is also the publish mentor of the ‘key person of influence program’ an accelerator program for entrepreneurs and founded the Business Book Awards which is now in its third successful year.  Traci and Lucy discuss why writing a book is so important and how it is a powerful business tool for anyone wanting to move forward in their business. If you have ever wondered about the process then this is the episode for you providing great detail about how and why you should be writing and publishing the book you have inside you.     KEY TAKEAWAYS  I grew up wanting to be a writer. My first book was a non-fiction book about work-life balance.  As a business person, an entrepreneur your book is there as a business tool. It’s there to position you as an expert, be a lead generator for your business, to position you as an authority.  Getting a book out there is a way of saying here I am and is a way of selling yourself which is something women can find difficult to do.  I have developed a mentoring program exclusively for women who are writing their own book.  A book can seem like a huge undertaking but with a business book, most of it is already in your head.  Your experience, perspective and journey are unique you need to show people where you’ve done your learning, it’s about being honest and authentic.  Your book is valuable and if only one person benefits it is worth doing. It is also beneficial to you bringing clarity to your work and is there as a resource that can be revisited and reused.  If you have put together 30,000 plus words on your area then you are an influential person and have credibility.  You have to breakdown the process and dismantle the fear.  Position and plan your book creating a detailed blueprint before you begin writing.  A book is a gender-neutral way to show your authority. It can seem like a daunting task but it’s a process and can be broken down.     BEST MOMENTS  ‘Your book when positioned right has a kind of magic to it’  ‘In the first year of the business book awards, we had 11 lovely white male winners’  ‘If you have a reasonably successful business you have a book to write and it will help to grow your business, visibility and credibility’    VALUABLE RESOURCES  Women Rockin Business Podcast  Next Step Aim High Community Facebook  A Book of One’s Own website  Lucy McCarraher LinkedIn  A Book of One's Own book by Lucy McCarraher  Lucy McCarraher ABOO Facebook  How to Write Your Book Without The Fuss book by Lucy McCarraher Joe Gregory & Daniel Priestley     ABOUT THE GUEST  Lucy McCarraher started her first publishing business while she was a student.
