"Make the audience do something first [...], it establishes the immediate control of 'I say, you react' now they are the ones that have to speak publicly and you're just reacting to them."When you're flop sweating, so is the audience... and no one's having fun. Luckily, Vince Carone joins the UFMB crew to break down over 20 years of stand-up comedy and presentation experience into an hour of public speaking gold. Not only is Vince hilarious, but he's insightful and shares some super actionable advice. From falling on your face (literally) to having your best joke land like a lead balloon, this episode delivers the tips that will unfuck your public speaking. In this episode: Robyn Sayles, Chris 'Jinx' Jenkins, Vince Carone More about Vince: Vince is fast-talking, frenetic, and frustrated. He has a quick-witted, fast-paced style that envelops you with an avalanche of punchlines that never stop. He is chaotic, cathartic, and a complainer. But the deeper he delves into his show the more you relate to him, root for him, and feel his pain just as he relives it, night after night. That's Vince's greatest gift, his ability to instantly connect with the everyman (and every woman). He sees the absurdities of the world and he rallies against them. Vince says the things on stage you would only dare to speak in a mumbling, hushed tone when no one else was within earshot.

Are there qualities you bring to the table that are unique? Does this uniqueness feel more like a burden than a gift? Guess what? These differences and unique qualities you bring to your leadership, clients, and company is what you need to bring most. In my book Sell From Love – I talk a lot about how we need to love ourselves in order to sell, work and lead better.   If you don't love who you are how can you expect others to? If you're not being valued or appreciated or if you're not being recognized for your true worth – could you be the one who is dismissing, denying or devaluing yourself most? My guest today, Robyn Sayles is the CEO and Founder of Launching Your Success. Robyn started Launching Your Success because she believes that when people know their value, they perform better and when people have fun, they learn better. In this episode we have a frank discussion on authenticity and being yourself in business and in the workplace We talk about the challenges with bringing your whole self to the work and how ‘fitting in' tends to take over many of us at one point in our careers. Eventually this only leads to you bringing a watered-down version of yourself to your work and leadership. And that is something I don't want for you, your clients or your business. Being yourself is fundamental to your success and leadership.  It will help you get clients, climb that corporate ladder, and build your business. Robyn shares her perspective on how you can be more of you, teach others how to treat you, how creating an emotional connection with your clients is key to your success and how to prepare for those moments when you've got to venture outside your comfort zone. I can't wait for you to listen to this episode and get inspired to be who you are meant to be to succeed as Robyn Sayles shows us her way. This post EP 9: Episode 9: Be Who You Are Meant to Be to Succeed with Robyn Sayles appeared first on Sell From Love.

"What I feel like people do is they say, 'I really need to go digital,' but they fight against the habits and skills that are so embedded in them naturally that it's pretty much designed to fail.

You're much more likely to adopt and fully implement those tools."Let's talk about how technology tools can help you unfuck your biz. Don't panic, you are already tech-savvy (you just don't know it).

As a serial entrepreneur and high level business strategist, Chris works with growing startups and established small businesses who are willing to step beyond the bullshit and crush their goals, deliver record profits, and have a ton of fucking fun in the process. With a growing portfolio of companies, Chris is also the Founder and CEO of UFMB. Chris has a unique perspective on business after spending 12 years working for several Fortune 500 companies in various leadership roles. He was the guy who was given minimal resources but delivered massive results. And nothing has changed. Those who know Chris, know that he has an obsession with intentionality and an unrelenting desire to connect. So if you get the chance to talk to him, be prepared to go deep.

Google "boy mentors" and you'll get more than 20,000,000 results. Search for "mentors for boy moms" and you'll get just over 900,000 results -- and most are resources to help single moms find male mentors for their sons.You'll find next-to-nothing about how to find a mentor for yourself. But moms need mentors too. When Jen & Janet met recently (for the first time! at a podcast conference), they heard a talk about the importance of female mentors. The presenter, Robyn Sayles, pointed out the dearth of female mentors in movies, books and real life. Luke Skywalker had Obi Wan Kenobi & Yoda to guide him and encourage him; they shared with him crucial information and skills that helped him complete his mission. Without their help, would Luke have managed to inspire and lead the Rebels? Here at ON BOYS, we talk a lot about boys. But we know that many (if not most) of our listeners are women. We know that many of you are facing challenges in your parenting and that you'd love an Obi Wan to help you through this parenting journey. We realized that boy moms, in particular, need mentors. According to the dictionary, a mentor is an experienced and trusted advisor. We hope we've earned your trust and we want to continue serving you as experienced advisors. But we also encourage you to reach out to other "boy moms," both locally and globally. Connect with a mom whose boys are just a bit older than yours; she can help you put your current challenges in perspective and share tips and tricks that have (and have not!) worked for her. Reach out to a mom with younger boys too; no matter how young your boys are, there's another mom out there with younger boys who feels even more inexperienced and lost than you do. When we parent alone & in isolation, we all hurt. When we share our knowledge & strength, we all win. In this episode, Jen & Janet discuss: How a lack of mentorship harms moms & families The benefits of mentoring -- to both the mentee & mentor How to find an effective mentor Why it's hard for moms to accept (and ask for) help Links we mentioned (or should have) in this episode: Mommy Mentor: Why Every Mom Needs One -- 2013 article from Today's Parent LIKE THIS EPISODE?

Asking your connections for help can make some of us hesitate or worse not act on our instincts at all out of fear they might say no to our request.  It comes down to being prepared so that we feel confident when we engage both our network as well as new connections we are at ease and comfortable in what we want to say.  Senior leaders on this show have shared how their network served them well when faced with a difficult choice or job transition.  And let’s face it.  Your circle of influence is there for you when you need them and ready for when you aren’t expecting it. If you want tips on how to be prepared for what to say-check out episode 08 with Robyn Sayles and episode 13 with Tara Lynn Foster.  This episode is going to go beyond the obvious statement that you need a personal network.  And it even past building your personal advisory board as described in episode 41 building your circle of influence.  This is what to do once you have people in your corner-one of the things people forget doing is asking their circle of influence to help them in powerful ways. Now I have a question for you-what would you do if…you will fill in the blank: You are standing in line at Starbucks and strike up a friendly conversation with someone-but it’s like the experience on a plane when you meet someone and then never see them again and walk away without sharing information, or you take the conversation further and offer to potentially help that person, become LinkedIn and start a new connection with that person. Maybe you are thinking-I don’t see anyone at Starbucks I would want to know-hey I get it.  Sometimes you want your quiet time without interruptions.  But, chance doesn’t happen.  Opportunities present themselves to you and when you see them-you need to seize that moment. This experience happened to me just this week.  I was in Florida and all week, I noticed this Empowering women conference around the hotel.  I saw women who looked like business owners, entrepreneurs and one thing they all shared was a confidence about them when they walked by or like this situation-standing at Starbucks. Standing next to a woman in line, we struck up a conversation and I asked: “Are you here for the women’s conference?”.  It turned out she was and after a few short moments, we realized that we shared a common passion for empowering women and I offered to make an introduction to one of my guests from this podcast whom I thought shared a common interest and would be helpful to her. Now-you may be thinking- “that never happens to me.”  But, I want to challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone and try to meet one person you didn’t know and offer to be of service to them. If you are feeling stuck-don’t work here are five tips to empower you to take action. 5 Ways Tips to Engage Your Connections Decide where you need help. Look at the details of your career and program-there areas of your job that you feel confident and know how to execute.  Then there are situations you aren’t sure how to handle-for example how to get executives to be more involved at your biggest show.  It may be in your organization that there are several layers between you and the President/CEO.  Navigating to that person can be a challenge.  Having a senior advocate in your arsenal will not only help give you access, but they can also help you create a plan and deliver a compelling story as to why the President’s participation will help close business.  Know what you need before you ask. Request introductions. If you need to engage a leader within your organization but don’t know them-ask someone you know to help-preferably a sponsor or senior advisor. Be of Service to Others. If you are looking to ask a leader for their help-know what is important to them before you ask.  For example, if increasing revenues at your face-to-face marketing is important-show how it will be mutually beneficial to collaborate together to have the President attend your next conference and interact with VIP attendees. Follow up on your ask. If you received help, and introduction or other advice, thank the person who provided the assistance.  Share the steps you took following your conversation. Share your success. Everyone feels good knowing they helped achieve results.  Be sure to not be shy, share how the steps you followed at their recommendation led to exceeding goals and objectives for your program.  The most important thing you can do right now is decide where you need help and who can provide you with the assistance you need.  Take action today and you will make steps to being noticed and promoted.  Please reach out to me with any questions at Rock Your Trade Show I love hearing from you!   Credits: Thank you to Christy Haussler at Team Podcast for editing this episode!

A great evening with St. Pete Podcasters!

Are you planning out your 2019 year?  If you are in the throes of planning goals and the path to achieve those goals think about this…You can 10x your success if you do this one thing.  Make a personal intention of creating your personal brand.  Don’t worry-if you are thinking “I have no idea how to do that-you are not alone!”  Today we are going on a personal journey together, using Roz Usheroff book “The Future of You: Creating Your Enduring Brand” as the blueprint. Before we embark on this project-remember we are striving for progress-so that when we look back we can think-yes!  I did that!  Don’t worry you got this. Conduct Your Own Personal Market Research. For marketers familiar with focus groups-understanding habits, experiences and perceptions directly impacts the way brands plan strategies.  It is no different for our personal branding-we need to first know where we are to go forward.  This is the hardest part of the process-don’t let it stop you.  Survey what you think is your perceived personal brand and then compare it against what the truth is.  Roz says something so true “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it!”  Remember – knowledge is power.  Harness what others think and if you don’t feel the feedback is aligned with your own perception the good news is that we all have the chance to course correct any time we choose to do so.  Create Your Personal Mission Statement Just like a company who has a mission statement-yours will help remind yourself and express to colleagues, leaders, and your boss-this is what I aspire to be.  Roz identifies that “The mission statement helps you identify and articulate your beliefs and core values”.  Here are her tips to develop your mission statement: “Who? Describe yourself…talents, gifts, and attributes” “What? Outline your goals for the use of those talents” “How?  Describe the outcome, including the impact that you want to make and the impression you want to leave behind”. Find Ways to be Memorable For introverts-and I feel you-as an extroverted introvert-the thought of putting yourself “out there” can feel overwhelming.  But remember whether you intentionally or unintentionally want to express your personal brand-you are and will be expressing it…so why not create your personal brand the way You Want to Be Remembered?  Roz shares a quote from Seth Godin “Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable”.  If you don’t know that book, I will have a link in the show notes-everyone needs to stand out like a purple cow!   Roz reminds us that “your personal brand is ‘the sum of every experience others have of you’”.  Think about how others experience you-if you are a marketer-do you pitch your idea for product promotion?  How was that experience for you-and more importantly how was it for your team, the target audience, your boss?  Did you make an impression and rock the meeting?  If people came up to you afterwards asking you for advice-you know that you made an impact. Ready to take your memorability to the next level?  It is so important to be visible.  Recently, I had someone suggest it is important to network across divisions.  If you work in a large corporation and the headquarters are not in your location or if the company you work in is very large-what steps do you do daily weekly to gain visibility. Roz shares many examples of people getting passed over for promotions even though they surpassed financial goals and expectations.  This is at the core of why having a strong personal brand is so important.  Don’t shy away from raising your hand to be seen-volunteer for opportunities that stretch your comfort zone and may not directly relate to your job. Ask yourself throughout the process-do people seek out my advice?  If yes then your visibility is memorable-double bonus points! One of my favorite questions Roz suggests you ask others to help establish your personal brand is “If you were going to open up your own company, what position would you offer me and why?” and then follow up with “What qualities do I possess that make you see me in that position?” You may be wondering, even after you receive their feedback-whether it is the right stuff to make you stand out, be both visible and memorable.  Here Roz offers an important lesson about finding your unique ability.  Often, we overlook our unique ability because it comes “easy to us”.  Do you think if something is too easy-it cannot be enough to make you stand out and be memorable?  Quite the opposite is true.  Consider finding what makes you unique by examining talents you have right now that which people ask you about the most.  Think about colleagues and co-workers who seek you out for help on projects.  Do you have a pattern of something that comes up over and over again?  Create that as your enduring differentiator and expand on it.  For example-personally I am passionate about helping empower women.  When I attend a conference or an event and see familiar faces, I am often approached and asked to grab coffee and help provide career insights.  In fact, this is the reason I started Rock Your Trade show and yet—I often overlook this unique ability because it is something in my DNA-I enjoy serving others and helping comes naturally.  I could overlook this or leverage it to create something that stands out.  Now think about a similar scenario for yourself…anything come to mind?  Use the first thing that pops up as the starting point to truly create something that will help you stand out. And if you really want to take being memorable-and increase your visibility even more-try adding in servant leadership. Why?  Because when we offer others our help with no expectation in return it will draw people unexpectedly towards your unique ability.  Roz highlights the key qualities of a servant leader “listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, growth, and building community”.  We don’t have to use every single one of these to be a servant leader, but you should try to use at least 3 of these qualities on a regular basis and discover the rewards of helping others. We have up to now focused on learning about ourselves, what makes us unique and how we can be memorable and visible.  Now what?  It is time to become our own PR agency.  This doesn’t mean to brag about our accomplishments-which is often why many of us do the opposite and hide behind them.  In fact-many of us grew up with the notion that it is somehow “bad" to talk about a goal we achieved and so we should not acknowledge it.  How many of us have said when asked about reaching a milestone as “it was nothing”?  This doesn’t serve you in your career.  So how do we achieve recognition without seeming to brag about it?  Roz points to changing our definition of PR to be “the means by which you can share how your unique ability can assist those you seek to serve in terms of getting them to where they want to go.” This is where servant leadership can really help you to highlight your success.  How have you helped a colleague, leader, volunteer, client, mentor or even sponsor shine?  When you take an interest in helping someone else, there is gratitude expressed by the recipient and they are happy to share appreciate for your help.  Several years ago, I took a course called Courageous Confidence by Chalene Johnson.  One of the key things I learned was to keep a confidence file-whereby others who had shared their positive thoughts about something I did could be used to help me whenever I had doubts about an ability.  Your unique ability is something others really value-and sharing how it has helped others will help you to have the courage to keep using it. Still unsure where to go for inspiration-think about LinkedIn.  It is the perfect platform to recommend a colleague-not just click on the recommend a skill but really write a recommendation.  In turn, by helping others you will find that there is a reciprocal effect whereby colleagues and professional acquaintances are happy to take the light you shined on them and shine it back.  As Roz calls this “…true PR and personal branding is one of drawing attention to what others can achieve with your help and expertise.”  By helping others achieve success you will “become indispensable” and your personal brand will reflect who you truly are. Now that we have taken these 4 keys steps-it is time to take action.  After all, a plan without execution remains only a dream.  The last step-for you to truly make your brand known is to network.  For some of us, networking comes easier than to others.  Remember-it wasn’t always easy, like any skill it takes practice! You have your mission statement, and all the tools in your personal branding kit, it is time to create your elevator pitch.  I highly encourage you to listen to two episodes focused on elevator pitches-Episode 08 with Robyn Sayles-how to share your personal brand in 9 seconds and Episode 13 with Tara Lynn Foster-How Marketers Can Discover What Makes You Great.  Both will help you create your elevator pitch. Identify where you can share your story-at networking events, industry events, as a speaker and even guest commentator on a blog or industry publication. Visibility to who you are will help perpetuate your brand. As a final note about this book and Roz Usheroff, she is truly someone who exemplifies her personal brand.  I have had the honor of knowing her, speaking with her on a panel and she was a guest on this show.  One of the things she says in the closing of her emails is “Always Be Amazing”.  Her uplifting spirit and incredible dedication to serving others is an inspiration for all of us! At the beginning of this episode I said there would be a challenge at the end.  So here it is-create your personal brand-your mission statement and elevator pitch and share it with me.  I will be honored to feature them here and in the Rock Your Trade Show LinkedIn group.  And for your courage- you will be entered to win in our Exhibitus drawing for a full registration pass to ExhibitorLive 2019.  So don’t delay, include your personal brand as part of your goals for 2019.  As always, if I can help you in anyway as you start this journey, reach out to me at rockyourtradeshow.com/let’stalk I love hearing from you!

One of the most common questions I hear from listeners is how do you express your personal brand. In this interview, Robyn Sayles  shares incredible insights that you can implement right away.  If you get stuck knowing what to say when people ask-“so tell me what you do” or how  to attract attendees to come into your exhibit or are unsure what you need to do at a networking event, then this episode is  for you! Robyn is a personal branding expert and Fascinate certified trainer.  She shares key strategies we can all use to attract, connect and engage with people and why it is important to be authentically you at all the time.    5 Key Insights You Will Learn: Why it is important to know how you communicate-hint you should take the free fascination assessment test How to differentiate from your colleagues with these 3 tips to be more effective on the trade show floor. 3 Ways to engage with attendees to have better conversations. How to express your personal brand in 9 seconds or less. 4 Result driven strategies to help you make the best connections. Robyn was inspired by Sally Hogshead who developed a scientific method called the Fascination Advantage to communicate personal branding in her book How the world sees you.   Robyn shares how Hogshead discovered why we become irrationally obsessed with certain brands and an algorithm was developed to accurately determine how each person communicates. Robyn shares a personal story about how a friend took the fascination test and thought it was incorrect.  She describes how we have preconceived notions of what words represent like Power-and why it might be a barrier if we don’t understand the true meaning.    Once you understand your communication style, you can translate it to be more effective on the trade show floor.  Here are some ways you can draw people to want to talk with you. How to Engage Attendees on the Trade Show Floor: Differentiate your approach: Don’t try to communicate the same way a colleague is doing it. Everyone needs to be distinctive and unique.  For example if you are the creative one-you should take a creative approach when people come to your booth. We all sell-people are coming to the show to learn about new products at the show. Replace the word sell with the world help-communicate how you are helpful. People walking the show floor want to learn something-don’t be afraid to ask an engaging question In a world where communication is lightning fast you really only have less than 9 seconds to tell someone what you do and so once you have someone to talk with you, your message has to be concise. Your Personal Brand: Answer These 3 Things to Tell People What You Do Who are you? Describe what it is you do-for example Robyn says “I help people be fascinating”. Describe how you add value: What makes the way you approach a situation, challenge and solution unique. Demonstrate how you are different: Stay true to your personality if you are not wild and wacky, don’t try to portray yourself as that personality. Being authentic is one way you can really stand out. Power Tip: Practice your personal brand statement in your car or in front of a mirror.  The words need to flow effortlessly. Remember that in order to be short and concise you need to keep it simple, focused and explain your advantage.  Look at examples of people who tell a story in a really short amount of time.  Movie trailers    and Twitter are good places to get inspired to know what you want to say. Now that you know what to say, you need to know how to use it effectively.  Sometimes it isn’t always easy to know where to where to start.  Here are 4 tactics you can implement at your next event. 4 Result Driven Networking Strategies to Use at Your Next Event: Set a goal:  For example “I need to meet these type of people.”  Make the goal quantifiable: “I need to meet 5 people in this field today.” Determine your Ideal Customer Avatar: Who do you want to engage with at the event? Ask for help: There are people at networking events who like to make connections.  This is what I do and I would love to talk with other people in the field. Power Tip: Look for registration desk-ask them for help introducing you to people you want to meet. Remember, that regardless of where you are-your personal brand should be consistent in all areas of your life.  The more your personal brand is the same everywhere you are-the more successful you will be.  If you are authentic, it will translate into making people want to hear what you have to say. Feeling like you need some help?  Robyn shares her favorite book: What to do when it’s your turn-it’s always your turn by Seth Godin.  This book helps you get in touch with your why and take action.
