Do you feel resistance when you hear the word marketing? So many people do. They have hang ups and beliefs about marketing and it can get in the way of them being able to achieve success in their business and as a speaker.  I get it though, marketing can feel complicated, overwhelming and confusing. But it doesn't have to feel that way. What if it could feel clear, and light and simple? Because marketing is about showing your audience the problem you can solve for them, and  making sure you stay front of mind, for when they decide to get that problem solved. That's what I'm hoping you get a sense of today, from my straight talking guest Chantal Cornelius.  Chantal has been helping service businesses attract new clients since 2000. She also speaks to audiences around the world, showing them how to understand the emotional buying decisions made by their clients and how that translates into a stand out strategy for them. Chantal also happens to be National President of the Professional Speaking Association, (at the time of this episode), so not only does she have golden nuggets to share about how to market yourself, but she has some speaking tips too!   What you'll discover: How 7 year old Chantal started her on her quest to stand out. Why Chantal believes that USPs don't work. How Chantal discovered the marketing strategy that works for her audience. What changes she has made to her marketing as a result. The test results for my marketing strategy revealed Iive.  Ideas for effectively measuring your marketing.  The three most important things that speakers need to get right with their marketing. How Chantal started speaking and ended up becoming the National President of the Professional Speaking Association.  The three things that make a speaker memorable in Chantal's experience.   All things Chantal: https://appletreeuk.com/take-the-test/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/chantalcornelius/ https://appletreeuk.com/products/stand-out-strategies/   Resources: Grab Your From Blank Page to Stage Guide and Nail the Topic for a Client Winning Talk Straight To The Top by Sarah Archer   Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:                                                   Share this show on X, Facebook or LinkedIn.

Author, Poet, Screenwriter, and speaker Sarah Archer is joining Fika with Vicky this week for one of our Classic Conversations. This week we're focussing on the classic Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus which was written by Mary Shelley in 1818. There will be scandal, heart wrenching realities, lost love, and unwise loves. (Yes, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, I'm pointing at you.) And all that's before we even get to the novel. Please join us as we look into this work, by a 19 year old, that still has us enthralled over 200 years later. About Sarah Archer - Sarah Archer's debut novel, The Plus One, was published by Putnam in the US and received a starred review from Booklist. It has also been published in the UK, Germany, and Japan, and is currently in development for the screen. As a screenwriter, she has developed material for MTV Entertainment, Snapchat, and Comedy Central. She is a Black List Screenwriting Lab fellow who has placed in competitions including the Motion Picture Academy's Nicholl Fellowship, the Tracking Board's Launch Pad, and the Austin Film Festival. Her short stories and poetry have been published in numerous literary magazines, nominated for the Pushcart Prize, and reached the finals of the Doris Betts Fiction Prize. She has spoken and taught on writing to groups in several states and countries, and interviewed authors around the world as a co-host of the award-winning Charlotte Readers Podcast. You can find her online at saraharcherwrites.com. About Fika with Vicky - Eternally curious about life, Vicky learned early that answers could be found in stories. Whether those stories were tales of ghosts told by her grandmother or read on Romper Room with milk and cookies, she found herself transported to other worlds. Reading to her own children, she developed an appreciation for picture books, and the illustrations that accompanied them. It was then that she realized great truths could be found with the simplest of words, and that children's books are not only for children. Through their reading she saw how vast the Juvenile and Young Adult genres had become, and the way in which they brought understanding to difficult topics. Having written her own stories, in Stick to the Story the Book, Vicky began to be interviewed. And that's when everything clicked. The idea that she could speak to the people behind the stories she loved, and learn more about them, was too tempting to ignore. Fika with Vicky was born in 2019, and with it a desire to share her passion for used book stores on rainy afternoons, folklore and fairytales, and those moments when an author solidifies all you've been thinking in one sentence. https://www.facebook.com/FikawithVicky

Catherine Weetman shares a bit of her backstory, including why she ditched her corporate career to help businesses get clear on how going circular is better for people, planet AND profit. Today's episode is a bit different – Peter Desmond, who has been a great mentor and supporter over the last five years, was encouraging me to tell people a bit more about me and how I came to do this – my ‘why', if you like.

Your voice is one of the most neglected, yet most important tools you have as a public speaker.  Your ability to be heard clearly, to last out the talk energetically, and to connect powerfully with the emotions of your audience are all reliant on your voice. That's why for the first of the insights episodes, I have pulled together highlights from some of the best voice artists and teachers to help you ensure that you are looking after and fully utilising this incredible instrument.  First up, joining me on the show is Jay Miller. Jay has spent the last 20 years training speakers, actors and business people how to develop a great voice, as well as overcome anxiety around public speaking. He is now one of Canada's finest voice and speech coaches, appearing across the Canadian media, and his work has had a profound effect, not only on building compelling and engaging voices, but also on the lives of those people that work with him.  Helen Langford is a voice actor, who absolutely loves the sound of her own voice … and so do lots of others. She works for many corporate clients, including household names, and every day she tells stories, explains tricky concepts, promotes brilliant ideas and gets to be somebody new! Kristin Linklater has sadly passed away since recording the original interview, which makes what she shares even more precious. She had a long and distinguished career as a teacher and actor in Europe and America, working with some of the most prestigious theatre companies and dramatic institutions in the world. She also wrote one of the seminal books on voice technique based on hearing ‘the person, not the voice Enjoy! What you'll discover:  Jay: The distinction between projection and speaking louder.  Why you should treat your voice like a plant you love.  A tip you can use to sound better tomorrow and develop vocal stamina.   Sarah: How you can influence the emotional state of your audience  Things that can affect the pitch of your voice as a public speaker  Tips for getting more pitch variation   Helen: How to avoid the droning voice. Why your voice is never fully dressed without a smile  The difference between pitch and tone Simple vocal warm up exercises you can do at the side of the stage.    Kristin: The connection between mind, body and voice.   Examples of bad voice habits and how they impact the quality of our performance?  How trying to control our voice reduces our vocal stamina.

This week, the tables have turned and I'm the one answering questions on Graham Allcott's Beyond Busy podcast.  I was chuffed to be a guest on this great show and to share a bit more about my life and experiences relating to speaking, performance, storytelling and my time in the corporate world.  I talk about the time I was failing in my corporate job and the valuable life lesson I learned. How I manage my expectations around success for my comedy shows and plays.

Enjoy!   What you'll learn: What it's like taking shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival What happened when I only had one person in the audience.

A process for looking and managing the thoughts that come up for us when we put ourselves and our ideas out there. Where the fear of public speaking comes from. What the ‘anxiety gap' is and how we can manage it. Things you can do to increase your confidence around public speaking. What makes a good elevator pitch. The four questions people want answered before they will say ‘yes'. How to make mundane things exciting for people. The big mistake people make with their message. Why stories are so powerful.

My guest today is Sarah Archer. Sarah is a speaking and marketing coach, as well as a playwright and comedy performer. Her podcast ‘The Speaking Club' helps people to increase their confidence around public speaking and she has written a couple of books on the subject too! In this episode, we talk about authenticity, overcoming fear, how to measure your success and much more.Sarah spoke about how she learnt to deal with putting yourself out there:Detachment is something that I'm still learning about. I think the issue is around expectations. If you've got to manage your expectations and do it for the love of it, which is what I, you know, truly do it for the love of it. But you know, there's these sort of rags to riches stories about Edinburgh and it's trying so hard not to take it personally when someone says something about your work, it's what we always do as human beings. We ignore all the positives and we just focus on those negatives. We need to sort of balance that out or just detach from it and it's not making it mean anything about us. It's still hard to detach you from the work you do and that's why people, certainly I've seen in the corporate world before, getting your identity mixed up with what you do. It is dangerous because we need to keep those two things separate as much as possible.✔ Links: Sarah Archer:https://www.sarah-archer.co.uk/home28404204Sarah Archer on Twitter:https://twitter.com/SarahArcher15Sarah Archer on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/SarahArcherSpeak/The Speaking Club Podcast:https://thespeakingclub.com/Subscribe to Graham's Newsletter: https://www.grahamallcott.com/sign-upOur Show Sponsors: Think Productive - Time Management Training:http://www.thinkproductive.com​​Useful links:https://www.grahamallcott.com/links See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode is sponsored in part by Doobert.com. Writer, curator, and design and material culture historian Sarah Archer speaks with Stacy about how her love of her rescue cats led her to her newest project. Sarah is a senior curator at Philadelphia Art Alliance, a contributor to Hyperallergic and many other publications, and has worked with organizations such as Project Meow and Morris Animal Refuge in Philadelphia, PA. After a cameo by Sarah’s kitten Toast, Stacy and Sarah discuss Sarah’s most recent project, a book called Catland: the Soft Power of Cat Culture in Japan which explores the unique relationship between humans and cats in Japan. Japan has a rich history of cats in arts and crafts, and today images of cats proliferate all parts of Japanese culture. Because of small apartments in big cities, it’s less common for Japanese people to adopt cats, which leads to a more collective style of caring for community cats. Their discussion also touches on overpopulation of cats in Japan, TNR efforts, and the phenomenon of cat islands. To find out more about Sarah and to learn where you can buy the book, visit Sarah’s website. She can also be found on Twitter and Instagram. Kawaii!

Welcome back to the Instant Impact Podcast with your host, Elyse Archer. Today’s episode is a pretty special one. Elyse is chatting with her sister, Sarah. She’s done what a lot of us aspire to do--write a book. Not only that, but Sarah was picked up by a major publisher and landed a six-figure advance.    Elyse and Sarah discuss how to get started writing a book, how to find a publisher and agent, what the entire process looks like, how to make money with a book, as well as how to navigate the ups and downs that come with writing a book. From the outside, it can look like a cinderella story, but there was a lot of hardship and rejection.    Sarah lets us know the importance of starting slow when approaching a book.

The Midcentury KitchenBy Sarah Archer Intro: Welcome to the Cookery by the Book podcast, with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authors.Sarah Archer: I'm Sarah Archer, and my latest book is The Midcentury Kitchen.Suzy Chase: Remarkably, kitchens changed very little from the ancient world through the Middle Ages. First off, what did the medieval kitchen look like?Sarah Archer: Really, until industrialization, the kitchen was kind of all about the hearth and it was all about the sort of heat source for, to some extent, the house, or the castle. The estate. And kitchens were workspaces. They were, even in the most luxurious houses you can imagine, they were kind of like the stables, like the domain of the household staff. So they may have been extremely well equipped, and that would have meant having lots of tools and having a very large hearth, and a spit to make delicious roasts. All that sort of thing. But they would not have been ever considered kind of comfortable places to be or pleasant places to be. They were extraordinarily hot, they were smoky, and this condition is really one of the things that led inventors to try to develop stoves, because that kind of billowing smoke, you know, is sort of not pleasant for anybody. And it actually sort of inspired the design of houses, with sort of a separate chimney that would sort of whisk the smoke away from the living space.Suzy Chase: And then, in the mid 18th century, Benjamin Franklin invented the Franklin Stove, which was the beginning of enclosed fire.Sarah Archer: That's right. And there were a few iterations of enclosed stoves. Basically it was sort of the cast iron revolution that led to this, and there was the Oberlin Stove, there were all sorts of variations of this that kind of, there were increasing refinements in efficiency and even decoration. They were in some cases very beautiful, and kind of a lovely thing to have in the kitchen, which was sort of a new idea. You know, we think of appliances looking cool or looking nice as just part and parcel of kitchen design, but this was kind of a new lovely thing, that you would sort of have this decorative cast iron object in your kitchen and be freed to some extent from all that smoke. And making that room a more pleasant place to be.Suzy Chase: And then we go to the first refrigerator for the home in 1913. And now that was the real game changer.Sarah Archer: It was a total game changer because it really revolutionized the way people could shop, and the idea that you could stash leftovers, you could sort of plan ahead a little bit. It was normal to sort of have to go shopping for produce or meat or dairy products every day, and the idea that you could kind of, you know, sort of plan your week a little bit with the advent of a refrigerator was revolutionary. Not everybody had them, it was pretty rare to have one when they first came out, just like television or anything else. But yeah, that completely revolutionized shopping and cooking.Suzy Chase: I remember my grandma used to call it the ice box.Sarah Archer: Yes. My mother grew up with an ice box, and it was literally like, the ice man would come to the door.Suzy Chase: Yes.Sarah Archer: With a gigantic block of ice. And that was, you know, I mean, it was probably not as efficient as today's Frigidaire, but it was, yeah. I mean that completely was just a fixture of a lot of peoples homes. And not having a freezer, also, which was rare in the '40s and '50s.Suzy Chase: I love the idea of home economics. Describe domestic science.Sarah Archer: Domestic science is this wonderful, I think of it as being kind of, it's sort of the ancestor of Martha Stewart. Kind of a whole field of study that was very serious, that was taken very seriously, and we tend to kind of giggle at it nowadays, the idea of, we remember our moms or grandmas in home economics class and you think of people with beehive hairdos, making cookies, and it's kind of the idea that you would do that in school seems odd to us nowadays. But domestic science was an outgrowth of a couple of fields of chemistry and food science and hygiene, and there was a lot of concern in the second half of the 19th century. There were people like Catharine Beecher who was the sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe, with her sister designed kind of the ideal rational kitchen with the idea that increasing industrialization and more people living in cities, it would be, women would really need optimal work spaces. And the idea of kind of separating things, just at the moment when germ theory was coming into play, that kind of, "Oh, maybe it's not a good idea to have raw meat kind of sitting around, where you're also, you know, making bread, and you want to separate these things." And it entered into the school system.Sarah Archer: It also borrowed some logic from the factory. So there's this funny thing where on the one hand, the Victorian home is the sanctuary and it's the place where you come home, you know, your wife and, if you're a man, your wife and children are there and it's cozy and it's sort of away from the dirty outside world of politics and business and all that stuff, and the home is your, you know, kind of peaceful sanctuary from all of that. But a woman named Christine Frederick, around World War I, studied the work of an industrial scientist named Frederick Taylor, I always trip on that a little bit because their names are-Suzy Chase: Frederick Frederick.Sarah Archer: Frederick, there's a lot of Fredericks. Who did motion studies and would kind of work with companies like Bethlehem Steel and kind of say, "Okay, you have workers doing this and that, and you need to kind of, reduce this space by two feet, it'll make it more efficient," and kind of almost look at the choreography of work and say, you know, how can we set up this factory so that it's fewer steps or it's, you know, easier for the workers to do this or that. She applied that to the kitchen, and designed an ideal modern, you know, circa 1916, kitchen that would make it easier for women to get everything done that they needed to do. And this was kind of considered feminism. I mean, we would think of that as being kind of like, you know, regressive, like, why is it making life better for women, because really everybody should pitch in in the kitchen, regardless of gender. But this was really a revolutionary idea at the time. And it paves the way for kind of the work triangle, if you have ever heard of that term for the optimal position of the stove, the sink, and the work top.Suzy Chase: I have to wonder about the fact that she said housework was a profession back in 1912. And how was it received by everyone?Sarah Archer: I think-Suzy Chase: Seems radical.Sarah Archer: It seems radical. It seems, I mean, and it's with the hindsight of 100 years, it's also we see it so differently that it's almost, you know, I mean, she was extremely popular. People loved her book. I don't believe, I have not run across any commentary about her that suggested people thought she was some sort of feminist radical at the time. People didn't, it wasn't kind of like she was a suffragette, in a sense. It was more kind of like, oh, this really smart young women is doing this really cool design. And of course there's the irony that she herself was a professional. Like, she was doing non-domestic work. You know, that was kind of the work of her life, but that was kind of, and that was true for a great many women designers, scientists, chemists, who devoted their professional lives to home economics.Suzy Chase: So, you can't understand the mid-century without looking at the '20s and '30s. Describe the ideal 1920s kitchen.Sarah Archer: So that is really like the golden age of [inaudible 00:08:12]. There is this moment in the '20s when, a couple things are happening. One, after years and years and years of everything being made of wood, maybe kind of a hodge podge of kitchen quote on quote "furniture," you might have sort of a work top, a hoosier cabinet where you kept your flour and sugar, that kind of thing. Suddenly there start to be these kind of bright white enameled surfaces. And it's almost like kitchens start to look like hospitals. There's this real concern around the time of sort of following World War I and the Spanish Flu and real robust understanding of germ theory thinking like, okay, we really need to turn kitchens from these kind of homespun spaces into almost like little laboratories. So the ideal kitchens that you often see in magazines if you look at, you know, House Beautiful and print ads for appliances are kind of almost clinical, and they're not usually brightly colored. So you see lots of tile, lots of surfaces that are easy to clean. And it's funny because they also retain a connection to furniture. So you might see a sink that has sort of lovely tapered capriole legs as though it were a chair or a table. So it doesn't yet look kind of mechanized in the way that it starts to later.Sarah Archer: In the 1930's, all of that changes because streamlining transforms the look of, you know, everything from toasters and pencil sharpeners to cars and refrigerators. And it comes from the automotive industry. The designers of appliances start to borrow the look and feel of streamlining to give these devices the look of something high tech and new. And it's Raymond Loewy's refrigerator, the Cold Spot for Sears, Norman Bel Geddes's designs. A stove that kind of conceals all of the guts so instead of things like the monitor top refrigerator, which is one of the very early sort of popular refrigerators from GE, you can kind of see there's a giant condenser on the top of it and it's kind of this, it looks to our eye very clunky. The '30s appliances conceal all of that, so you don't see kind of all of the machinery. And it has, they have very smooth, you might say elegant, sort of casings. They look almost like the components of a train car, they're kind of styled to look that 1930s deco glam silhouette.Sarah Archer: And this is also the moment when standardized counter heights come into play, and standardized cabinets. So that instead of your kind of personal collection of furniture that can store things, and work tops, you have a kitchen that is kitted out with kind of an intentionally uniform set of cabinets. And that totally transforms the look of the space, and you know, gives it that kind of signature look that we are used to.Suzy Chase: So fast forward to July 24, 1959, where Richard Nixon and Soviet Primer Nikita Khrushchev got into an argument about women, kitchen appliances, and the American way of life. This cracked me up. So during a World's Fair style exhibition in New York City, the two leaders had this conversation.Sarah Archer: It was actually in Moscow, sorry.Suzy Chase: Oh, it was?Sarah Archer: FYI. Yeah.Suzy Chase: That's even funnier.Sarah Archer: It's even funnier, I know.Suzy Chase: So Nixon wanted to show off this spiffy new kitchen and Khrushchev shot back, "We have such things." And then Nixon said, "We like to make life easier for women." And then Khrushchev said, "Your capitalistic attitude toward women does not occur under communism." Talk a bit about this exchange.Sarah Archer: I love this exchange so much. And it's just, it, I think if you look at it in the context of even kind of looking back a few decades to Christine Frederick, you know, Nixon is kind of echoing the home economics theory that all of these new devices and all this industrial innovation is good for women. And of course in the 1950s it is the pinnacle of, you know, men are home from the war, people are buying Levittown houses and nesting and women are at home. Like, capital H, Homemaker. You know, the idea of being, professional is considered a little eccentric at this time period, at best. And Khrushchev is, you know, giving him almost what we would think of as like a feminist argument, that like, you know, you're essentializing. Like, who says women belong?Sarah Archer: And I think it's fair to say that Soviet women, although they were fairly well represented in the sciences, there actually was a fairly high proportion of women working in kind of what we would call STEM, medicine and the natural sciences, in the Soviet Union. It was just as sexist as any place else on Earth, you know, in the 1950s. So the idea that Soviet women were all relying on their husbands to load the dishwasher or what have you, the communal dishwasher, is probably totally ridiculous. But I thought it was very savvy of Khrushchev to kind of zero in on that as a weak point in the conversation.Suzy Chase: In the 1930s, working class women left domestic service in droves, leaving middle class women to take on their own housework. Julia Child described these middle class women as servantless. How did this effect the way households were run?Sarah Archer: So it's a couple things. It's, one is that people who had lots of help before then probably continued to have lots of help. Or, help to some extent. And the idea, this kind of mythical population of people who kind of used to have lots of help and then suddenly didn't and then were left, you know, helpless, not knowing how to, you know, work the stove, I think was relatively small. What was more common was for people who had been working class or working poor to start to become more successful and have more means in the post war period. And to have a brand new kitchen, if they bought, you know, a Levittown house, or were living out in the burbs somewhere. And suddenly be living a new lifestyle, and in a sense they were a new kind of person. They were the American middle class, that kind of bedrock of middle class people that was booming in the post war era.Sarah Archer: So servantless is kind of a brilliant term because it describes, in a sense, a new kind of person. So, somebody who perhaps, you know, would not have thought to entertain a lot decades earlier. Maybe in the 1950s and '60s they're reading about fondue and maybe think it would be fun to have people over, and their kitchen is attractive and maybe in kind of a fashion color, so you can sort of have people over for informal dining in your kitchen in this kind of new way. So it transformed the lady of the house, shall we say, to use an antiquated term, into a new kind of hostess, I would say. And women's magazines really played into this. There is a lot of advice in the '50s and '60s about entertaining in this kind of way. Things that you can do ahead, if you're kind of doing it all yourself. And you know, foods that keep, which is the signature culinary innovation of the post war era. Things that you can kind of leave for a couple days.Sarah Archer: And ways that you can kind of dazzle people, you know. Sort of exploring different kids of culinary traditions that we would not think of as terribly exotic now, but you know, 70 years ago were magazine worthy because of their novelty.Suzy Chase: Speaking of foods that will keep, talk about the innovation of Tupperware.Sarah Archer: Oh my goodness. This is one of my favorite things. I was fascinated by the idea of the Tupperware party. Because this is something that, by the time I was a kid, I was, that had, all that stuff had kind of fallen out of favor and it was kind of getting back to, let's use glass because it's better for you, or better for the environment. And of course as a child of the '80s I was kind of like, obsessed with plastic and thinking, what are these Avon ladies and Tupperware parties, what is this world that existed 20 years ago?Suzy Chase: Yeah.Sarah Archer: The plastic that is used to make them was a World War II innovation, and it had originally been used to protect wires in telecommunications. And like so many things, it was kind of like at the end of the war, what do we do with this? You know, what civilian peace time application can we come up with? And Earl Tupper designed the first Tupperware. And one of the reasons for the parties is because that smell of that sort of plasticy smell that we are all very used to because it's all around us all the time was totally alien to people in this time period because there just was not a lot of plastic on the market. People were kind of not super into it. They were kind of like, oh, I don't know, is this safe, or it's just weird, it doesn't really go well with food. So the parties were a way of showing it and kind of almost like, playing with it in a domestic setting. Like you can, you know, this is how you could use it if you bought some, in somebody's house. And so it became kind of like Avon, sort of a kind of domestic retail fixture of the time period.Suzy Chase: So I thought this was another game changer. Describe the change in mentality in terms of thinking about durable goods as consumable.Sarah Archer: Oh yeah. This is another big one that actually is like, like so many things about the post war era, is secretly really from the '20s, and there's this long kind of decades long gap between the modernism and kind of industrial thinking of the '20s because of the Depression and the World Wars. There was an advertising man, sort of a mad man, so to speak, of that era, the 1920s, named Earnest Elmo Calkins who wrote a book called Consumer Engineering during the Depression. And basically it was a manifesto for planned obsolescence. And he was arguing that things like toothpaste and shaving cream that you kind of naturally use up, we need to start thinking of durable goods as things that you can use up. So a new color or a new shape or a new feature, you know, new and improved, all of that stuff. We have to start kind of baking in those qualities, otherwise people won't buy things as often as we would like them to. So the advent of annual styling, which was really big early on in the auto industry, where you would have, you know, a whole new pallette of cool colors every year and new fins, or new features, cup holders, you know, in cars, takes over kitchen appliances.Sarah Archer: And this is partly because weird though it may sound, there was a strong connection between the auto industry and the world of kitchens. General Motors owned Frigidaire during this time period. And if you went to Motorama to see all the new concept cars you might also see the Kitchen of Tomorrow and see, you know, all the features. So they were presented as being kind of part and parcel of the design innovation and the new styling and the idea that there's a new color palette that's must-have for the kitchen. And as a result of that, if you're looking at old houses, which we were a couple years ago in Philly and it was sort of immediately like, oh, this is like 1968. Or this is 1972. You can tell because of the appliances, because there was such a kind of, it's like archeological layers. Like you can tell when a kitchen was done just by looking at the color.Suzy Chase: On page 206 you have an incredible photo of the classic brown and orange kitchen in the Brady Bunch House.Sarah Archer: Oh, I love Brady Bunch House.Suzy Chase: I was so excited to hear that HGTV was going to renovate the home to its original splendor. That show kind of brings home the fact that life happens in the kitchen, don't you think?Sarah Archer: Absolutely. And that is, when I was working on this book I immediately, I started thinking a lot about all the different TV shows where that, the standard kind of set where you have like, a bisected apartment or house, very often features the kitchen. And if you go way back to like, I Love Lucy, there's you know, a lot of like, the funny gags happen in the kitchen. But the Brady Bunch to be is quintessential because it's almost at the center. And because there are so many kids, it is a perfect illustration of the way that the kitchen became a living space. And so it wasn't just a place to make toast in the morning or make dinner, it was, you know, science experiments and homework and having a heart to heart talk, and you know, playing games. And you know, doing baking experiments and all that, all the kind of shenanigans that the kids get up to on the show, so much of it happens in that kitchen. And becomes kind of almost like a creative lab for the kids to kind of do their thing. Which I think was true for a lot of people, and still is.Suzy Chase: I want to talk to you about a couple of the cookbooks featured in this book. There's the Can Opener Cookbook.Sarah Archer: Mm-hmm (affirmative).Suzy Chase: A guide for gourmet cooking with canned or frozen foods, and mixes. By Poppy Cannon. I love that name.Sarah Archer: Cannon. The great, do you know her backstory?Suzy Chase: No.Sarah Archer: She has a fascinating backstory. She honestly is worthy, I feel like, of a Netflix series. Her life, she's from South Africa, or she was from South Africa. She was a white South African who moved to the US. She ended up in a romantic affair with a man who was very high up in the NAACP, and this was considered very, he was African American.Suzy Chase: Oh.Sarah Archer: It was, yeah. So she was kind of in, not exactly in the scandal pages, but she was kind of a person of note in the news, on top of being a cookbook editor, or a food editor, and writing all these books. And it was all about kind of being glamorous and saving time. And she, you know, if there are photos of her that she was very chic and you know, always had really cool hairstyles, and it is in certain ways like the anti-1950s cookbook. But at the same time it's almost perfect. So on the one hand, and it gets to this tension between, you know, we want you to be in the kitchen all the time because that's your job as an American housewife and mom, but all of these innovations that we want you to buy are going to make it easier for you. So it's sort of like, walking that line between making it, you know, not too easy. Just a little bit more easy. And Poppy Cannon is, takes it to the Nth degree and just says, like, why? Why bother making things from scratch when you can just create, you know, a complete meal from shelf stable food?Suzy Chase: A cookbook that I have: Dishes Men Like, from 1952. And I made the 30 minute noodle goulash that's on page 39.Sarah Archer: And was it good?Suzy Chase: It was kind of bland.Sarah Archer: I'm not surprised, yeah, in 1952. I mean it's, this is sort of the era when people maybe had salt and pepper in the house and not a lot of other spices and flavors.Suzy Chase: But this cookbook was kind of weird. Because I thought the premise was cooking for your man. But in the introduction, they wrote, "If you have a husband who likes to cook, pamper him." I thought that was a weird way to kick off a book for that era.Sarah Archer: Yeah. Yeah. It's almost like they kind of weren't sure what they were trying to say, in a way. It was like, we want to sell this and we know that men like to eat. So let's, right.Suzy Chase: So then there was the advent of foreign or exotic cookbooks, like the Art of Chinese Cooking from 1956, or Good Housekeeping's Around the World Cookbook from 1958.Sarah Archer: Around the World.Suzy Chase: Or, Simple Hawaiian Cookery, from 1964. That cracked me up.Sarah Archer: Isn't that fascinating? Yeah. And there are oodles of these, and there are all sorts of, it is, it's kind of the confluence of the Worlds Fair culture of kind of sampling these quote on quote exotic foods that you might try at the different pavilions. Which I think is made permanent at Disneyland and Disney world. Those are kind of like permanent Worlds Fairs that never close. And this idea that you could kind of travel the world by, you know, going to Queens for an afternoon. And you know, sampling all these things, which were of, you know, probably dubious authenticity. But that kind of to me really fits into the kind of gamesmanship of being a hostess. And like, this is new and different, you haven't had this before.Sarah Archer: And also kind of the legacy of World War II geographically, because so much of it is about the South Pacific and what would have been called the Far East at the time. Looking at Asian cuisine. And nowadays, there's practically, you have multiple options for hipster Korean fast food, you know. Like we have so much, you know, such an array of incredible food that we can get, even in medium sized cities and towns in this country. That the idea of being able to order, you know, Cambodian takeout in 1950 would have been unheard of. But I think it speaks to a real curiosity, and I think that it was kind of like, I think of the post war kitchen as kind of a stationary laboratory for exploring the world.Suzy Chase: So let's talk a minute about Julia Child. In the book you wrote, "Child traveled the world, lived abroad, worked for her country during wartime, and learned to cook in one of the strictest culinary traditions on earth. So for her, the mid century kitchen was not a place where industrial designers had shown mercy on her. To make her inevitable lot in life easier. To save her from becoming a worn out Mrs. Drudge. It was a creative place full of exciting challenges and good smells, good tastes, and it was where she wanted to be." Talk a bit about that.Sarah Archer: So she has, to me, one of the most fascinating life stories. And I think, it's also an example of this kind of intersection of kitchen and class. She did not grow up cooking, because her family had help. She came from a very well to do background in California, and had, was highly, highly educated and was, you know, in the precursor to the CIA during the war. And so had kind of a world view that was very uncommon for an American, much less an American woman of her generation. You know, a degree of travel and kind of cosmopolitanness that was very unusual. But then decided to bring that to the masses by kind of putting her kitchen on TV. And I think one of the things that I love about her kitchen, which you can visit at this Smithsonian, and it's amazing.Suzy Chase: I love it.Sarah Archer: It's so great. It's just, everybody should go there. Is that it was actually not, it was really not like a kitchen of tomorrow or a kitchen of the future. You know, it didn't have that kind of Jetsons feeling of kind of the latest and greatest. She had, you know, the iconic peg board. All her different kind of nifty kitchen tools that were, some of them quite low tech, you know, just the old fashioned whisk. All that kind of good stuff. And it was not about innovation so much as mastery. And I think that she's an example of somebody who showed women that there was a real kind of pleasure, sensory pleasure, and kind of cultural interest in learning to cook. That it wasn't, it didn't have to be about, I mean, to some, it does have to be about getting dinner on the table at a certain, you know, hour, if you have lots of kids, but that it could also be intellectual. It could be challenging. It could be fun for you. And I think that certainly my mom responded to that, watching the show when it was on PBS, and that was, you know, it's a way of learning about another culture, to learn through their food.Suzy Chase: In 1963, the same year the French Chef premiered, Betty Friedan identified the housewife as the chief customer of American business.Sarah Archer: I find it so interesting that this happened in the same year. And not too far after the Nixon Khrushchev debate. So Friedan was looking at kind of the consumer industrial complex and essentially that same planned obsolescence scheme that Earnest Elmo Calkins devised during the Great Depression. It was that you must always be, for the market economy to work, waiting and wishing for the next thing. In order for, you know, sales to be robust, you have to always be longing for a better dishwasher. Or waiting for a washer dryer. Or hoping that you can, you know, change out the light fixtures in your kitchen, or whatever it is. And that that, getting swept up in that longing, is, you know, kind of, if you're not interested in that sort of thing, which a lot of people are not, you know, naturally, is not a substitute for a full life. And she was sort of making the point that, you know, there is more to life than, you know, this kind of obsessive perfectionisms around food and design.Sarah Archer: The irony of this is that she became an avid amateur cook throughout the '60s and early '70s. And there's actually an article called Cooking with Betty Friedan, and it's about her, you know, rediscovering the joy of making soup or something. Really it's kind of, and it's presented as this kind of, you know, like, really? Her of all people? But I think that speaks also to this tension around women in that era who were chafing against the kind of, the societally prescribed roles for women, but also maybe really loved food and loved to cook. And you know, can you do both, can you be both?Suzy Chase: So now for my segment called My Last Meal, what would you have for your last supper?Sarah Archer: Oh wow. That's such a great question. I probably, I think my desert island food genre is probably Italian food. And I think if I had to choose, I have a, we have a, we make Marcella Hazan's bolognese sauce, that was kind of our go to sauce. So probably I would do the tagliatelle with bolognese.

In today's short episode on the AUDACIOUS BABE PODCAST I talk about storytelling and how we can use that in our business. "Storytelling describes the social and cultural activity of sharing stories.[...] Communicating by using storytelling techniques can be a more compelling and effective route of delivering information than that of using only dry facts." - Wikipedia For us photographers there are two different types of storytelling: The storytelling in or with our images. The storytelling inside our business to be used to connect with our audience i.e. in our marketing & communication  I start the subject with the first type - the storytelling with or inside our photographs. I have found this wonderful article by Sebastian Jacobitz - a streetphotographer from Berlin, who quite expertly describes the complexity of storytelling in our imagery.  He highlights the emotions that storytelling in photography can trigger but also the imagination in people's minds. There isn't one universal truth. A picture can mean be interpreted in many ways. But it is through composition that we can guide the viewer or stir them towards something. It is also through composition that we can give the story in our images a clearer start, middle and end points like you would have in traditional storytelling i.e. inside books or movies.  Then I explore the second type of storytelling and that is how we can use storytelling in our business. Why it is so important to use and for what.  As the wonderful Nicolina Huizinga I've had the pleasure of meeting at a Women In Business event says: "Sharing a story to make a connection with your audience is powerful, but connecting your story to the inner narrative of your audience will make an impact!" But before you even consider what stories to tell, you need to be clear on why you want to tell the story in the first place - use Sarah Archer's SPEAK framework. Listen to the full episode to hear about how you can create a powerful impact and connection with your audience, how to connect your stories to the inner narrative of your audience and how to use the SPEAK framework to align your story with your message.      Resources mentioned: Wikipedia Definition of Storytelling Street Bounty - Article about Storytelling in Photography Nicolina Huisinga's Video about Storytelling Sarah Archer's Speaking Club Podcast   Website: https://theaudaciousbabe.com Episode 37: https://theaudaciousbabe.com/podcast-episode-37-how-to-use-storytelling-in-your-business 1-To-1 Mentoring: https://theaudaciousbabe.com/business-mentoring Join the Community: https://theaudaciousbabe.com   Follow us on Social Media: Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/theaudaciousbabe Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theaudaciousbabe

Today, Cathy is joined in the studio by Sarah Archer, a contributor to Slate, The Atlantic, Architectural Digest, and more, on her latest book exploring The Midcentury Kitchen. What does the design of our kitchens say about our society? Sarah tells us about some of the pioneering women behind the advancements of the modern kitchen, the innovations—and corporations—who became involved in selling it to the public, and ultimately, how the physical design of the space that we cook in affects how and what we cook. Eat Your Words is powered by Simplecast.

The prosperity of the 1950's kicked off the revolution in technology and design that transformed the American kitchen from scullery to the central great room of the modern home. Modern pastel colored appliances and kitchen products made by companies whose names became household synonyms for convenience were representative of the era. Writer and design curator Sarah Archer has documented this movement in her new book, The Midcentury Kitchen, and joins Linda to talk about it. A Taste of the Past is powered by Simplecast.

Listen in as Harry speaks with Sarah Archer, author of The Midcentury Kitchen. Ever wondered where those cool colors in the 50s and 60s came from? Why wasn't tupperware a hit right off the bat? What did the kitchen of tomorrow look like in 1957? Where did all this free time in the kitchen come from? Tune in to find out. Feast Yr Ears is powered by Simplecast.

Find out why you should go for B minus, not for A with this, my chat with performer, coach and writer, Sarah Archer. We discuss how our faults and errors are often actually our best tools - they mould us into who we are, define how we learn from our mistakes, and determine what we do with the learnings. Sarah talks about her working life, how she fell into comedy, and what she's learnt along the way. She also shares the secret ingredients of how to create a great joke.

Marketing isn’t easy, but it can be simpler. When I launched my first business, I took the traditional advice about what you need to do when you’re starting up, but it didn’t help me get what a new business… what any business needs… and that is customers. In lots of ways the marketing game has changed, the playing field is different, even from what it was 10 years ago… but there is one thing that hasn’t changed, there is one thing that remains constant for success in marketing…and that is what I am sharing with you in this episode.   If our paths haven’t crossed yet, my name is Sarah Archer, I’m founder of Story Led Marketing, a business coach, speaker, comedian, playwright and author. I’m also the host of another podcast called ‘The Speaking Club’ where I help people increase the impact of their public speaking. As I write The Speaking Club has been going for just over a year, is in 108 countries and the feedback has been great. I want to give people the same engaging content and value with the Story Led Marketing podcast and it will be great to share this journey with you.   What I share: Why my first business failed. The epiphany I had after I returned to my corporate job. What all the biggest brands and entrepreneurs have in common. The mistake so many people make in their sales and marketing message. Your biggest asset for acquiring customers.   Thanks for listening! To share your thoughts: leave a comment below.

After 20 years in sales and marketing working for vineyards and clients like Google and Facebook, Steve De Mamiel knows a thing or two about what works in attracting and converting customers. He is a sales and marketing coach and speaker has written a book called The Mongrel Method, which combines stories based around his dog, with sales tips.   On this show we get into how sales have changed, the value of social proof in speaking and business. We also talk about the signals we should be reading from buyers in order to place them correctly on the acquisition journey…and of course we also cover off Steve's speaking, how he gets his speaking gigs, and puts his talks together, and the position of speaker agencies in today's world.   Enjoy!   What you'll learn: Why there's a strong correlation between how you scope a project and how you qualify a sale. How the distinction between sales and marketing has blurred. Why people will believe a random stranger on a review site over a sales person and you must use social proof whatever business you're in. How social proof and social listening are replacing R&D and Net promoter score. Why an offline sales strategy is as important as it ever was. What the mongrel method is and how it came about. Why storytelling is so effective to aid learning and understanding. What ‘customer intent' is and why it's so important for growing your business. Why it's important to have customer intent conversations with your prospects. What micro moments are and why we should pay attention to them. How we need to be connecting with our customers where they are, not where it's most convenient for us. Why many people underestimate the effort and ROI that you get in creating something bespoke for the audience you're speaking to. Why you need to think out of the box when you're courting new business. How Steve puts his talks together. Why you should be prepared for anything when you're speaking. The power of focusing on one thing.   Resources*   All things Steve The Mongrel Method by Steve De Mamiel http://www.themongrelmethod.com     Other Resources: Story Brand by Donald Miller Free Training Webinar with Sarah Archer  Thanks for listening!

I especially would like to recommend podcast episode 019, Humour 101 for Public Speaking: on how to integrate humour in your speeches. Dollar Shave Club. Dollar Shave Club was founded by Michael Dubin 5 years ago, in business in online razors. They got so succesful, because of the humor and storytelling in the video's used for their branding. The engaging and entertaining content over the next 4 years resulted in Unilever buying the company for 1 Billion dollars! Squatty Potty used video with storytelling humor. Resulted in 400% in retail sales and 600% in online sales. Russell Brunson's epiphany bridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKML2GyjuRQ Neuro Linguistic Programming Sarah recommends these books to aspiring entrepreneurs that she currently reads: Will it Fly by Pat Flynn. Sarah and I share the same podcast mentor: Pat Flynn. Sarah will launch an online course this year, and she wants to get it right! It should meet the needs of her clients! This Pat Flynn book is great for anyone who wants to make a business idea come to life! The Amours of Lillie Langtry, play written by Joan Greening and produced by Lemon Squeeze Productions, this summer 2018 in Edinbrugh, The Fringe. Sarah plays Lillie Langtry, who she describes as the Victorian version of Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Madonna, all in one. The Days I knew, by Lillie Langtry - Her memoirs Never split the difference, by Chris Voss. Chris, a former FBI hostage negotiator, talks all about negotiations and influence. The interview: Sarah is the founder of Lemon Squeeze Productions, in the UK, and all-round in her speaking business: comedian, actress, play writer, copy writer, author, keynote speaker, speaking coach and employee engagement specialist. She helps leaders and professionals on their quest to becoming high impact communicators, especially during change and transformation, combining her business and coaching background with her comedy experience. Sarah is a qualified Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) practitioner, integrating a specific communication approach with personal development and psychotherapy. She hosts the podcast: The Speaking Club Podcast, in which she brings hacks, tips and inspiring interviews and stories on public speaking. I recommend it as a great source, and it is very entertaining. Sarah has been performing stand up comedy since 2003 all over the UK and in 2015 she took her first play 'Dearly Beloved' on tour. In 2016, her performance and business background led to writing her first book Cracking Speech Mate! - 'How to use humour to make you an amazing speaker'. Followed by her book Straight to the Top - 'How to create and deliver a killer elevator pitch'. This year, 2018, she plans to come out with an online course. She loves being in front of a large audience and being in control of their attention. She's actually more comfortable in front of a large crowd than doing networking. But whatever the audience size and difference in energy, she treats her speeches like a conversation. She has always been interested in entertaining people, since a little child. There was a reward for her in making people smile. People give you their attention. Even in job interviews she tried to be cheeky. Not overstepping the line, knowing how far to go. Using humour, as well as self deprecation! Making fun of yourself. Nelson Mandela was a master at that, she says, and made people feel at ease. She wanted to go to drama school, but didn’t get in at the time. She then took a job in the corporate world in IT, starting off in the UK and then Germany. In Germany, she started to see the power of speaking, when she got elected at the age of 22 as a Works Council chair. Could she do the job at her age? She was asked to give a speech at the annual company event in front of the whole company. One of the things that worked was humour and stories. It was a powerful tool. Her speech removed any doubt whether she was fit for the job or not. When she moved back to UK, she switched to HR and Consulting in the corporate world. But she also started stand up comedy and writing. Recently, she channeled her expericiences into writing plays for theatre. Sarah left the corporate world in 2010 for the first time, as she wanted to make a career out of teaching people on how to use humor and do standup comedy. But she didn’t treat it as a business, and ended up going back to corporate. Then about a year ago, she decided she really wanted to make a success out of speaking. The calling was too strong; her love and passion to challenge, entertain and teach people, make them surprise themselves. Her business was still there, but now she would treat it as such, and it made all the difference! For her very first speeches, she used stories from an after-dinner speaking book. She integrated them in her talks and it worked! People resonated with the stories. It's a technique anyone can learn. That and bringing in your personality to stand out! There are different types of speakers: Keynote speaker – Paid speaker, doing a 45 minute talk at a conference, inspire and give action tips Platform speaker – Unpaid speaker, who's intention is to sell a product or service. If done right, it shouldn’t feel like a sales talk. MC (Master of Ceremonie) – Their job is to make the other speakers look good and to keep the event running smoothly. But speaking is also part of any job and role that needs to sell change, needs to engage or make an impact. If you want to grow (a business), you need to be a good storyteller. Her key clients are therefore corporate leaders and entrepreneurs. Humor and storytelling are important to communication and are the secret to business success. And with the advent of Ted Talks, you see how important stories have become in business. There are very good examples of gifted speakers out there now, which has raised the bar. You can't rely on your PowerPoint slides as protective armor, as all it does is undermine you, Sarah says. These days you cannot get to the top of a company and not be a good speaker. She gives an 2 examples of brands that grew enormously, because of storytelling and humour. Dollar Shave Club, started 5 years ago, sold to Unilever 1 billion dollars Squatty Potty grew 400% in retail sales and 600% in online sales. In general, the main steps to approach a talk are: Before looking at the content, the humour or storytelling of your speech, figure out what the goals of the talk are. Confirm your purpose and recognize what your presentation is going to ask your audience to do, say, think. When the problem you are solving and the solution you are offering is clear, try and 'summarize' your talk into one sentence. Brainstorm around that one sentence. What stories can you use to bring that one sentence accross? Look at the gaps are that would hinder the message, think about the uncomfortable parts of your presentation. For the end talk, try and focus on the 3 most important points and link a story around each of those. Use stories like an epiphany bridge and create hooks so that your audience can relate (think of the hero's journey with struggles and wins). Try to include humour for more engagement and entertainment. Include take-away's, as people want to have things to do after. Stand up comedy can be a huge help to become a better speaker, as well. She teaches those techniques to many business people. And at the end of her course her students have to perform 5 minute standup comedy that is self written. She also teaches to no be afraid to have an attitude and a clear opinion, because it can transform a speech. You might not connect to everyone. You don't want that either. But, you have to connect to your 'tribe'. When it comes to failure, something she learned from Neuro Linguistic Programming, is that there is no such thing as failure, only feedback. And everyone in the world is worried about what other people think of them. Very few people are born without worry. She therefore tries to focus on her goals and not give up when things get tough. What makes someone successful in business and life are your will and drive, having a strong mindset. As a female speaker, she says that having worked in HR for so long, she’s seen women not applying for jobs if they are not ticking all the box. The same thing goes for speaking. In general, men are quicker to promote themselves. Women could be encouraged more, for sure. However, woman themselves should become less worried, be more light. Bring in humour to counteract.
