Welcome to another captivating episode of The Coaching Podcast, where we delve into the world of transformative coaching, speaking, and self-discovery. In this episode, we unravel the art of coaching by exploring fundamental principles such as First Principles and understanding second-order consequences. Our guest, Jon Yeo, a speaking consultant, and licensee of TEDxMelbourne, shares his profound insights on coaching excellence, emphasizing the importance of deep connection, consistent methodology, and empathetic understanding. We journey through the intricacies of effective communication, guided by Jon's expertise in crafting TEDx talks that truly resonate. From exploring inner motivations to creating memorable speaking experiences, we explore the strategies that drive meaningful change. Join us as we navigate through the realms of coaching, speaking, and self-mastery, uncovering the secrets to influence, engagement, and the joy of transformative growth. Some of the highlights include; 1.29: Worst coaching moments: When a coach assumes they know more than they do. Assumptions are your biggest killer. 2.03: Best coaching moments: When the coach deeply understands the needs, values, and outcomes of that person. Are you even more committed than the coachee? How can a coach best prepare to be the moment? Do your homework! Meet them where they are at, based on their background and experience. Once you have arguably five times more information than you need, look for patterns. Look for 'First Principles' - what are the prime elements that if you removed them, actually stopped that thing from being? (Car analogy) This helps the coach and their client re-engineer their road map. 5.35: Do you have a practice of excellence that extends well before you even get there? It's more than just creating the time to prepare! 6.07: Sliding Doors: "I love what you do, and, do what I love." But that wasn't always the case for Jon. Moving to London transformed the way he thinks and the way he operates. 9.19: What Makes a Great Coach? Observant - how is your attention to detail around every micro-facet of their thinking, doing, action, practice, and being? Can you spot a pattern or schism (a split or division between strongly opposed sections or parties, caused by differences in opinion or belief)? Do you have a consistent methodology? Without a baseline, you can't measure improvement or direction. Open - Be honest that one day you might be wrong, or that you don't have all of the answers or you don't have the clarity that you really should have. If you are not open and vulnerable to this fact that you will never learn, grow, and evolve. How can you shift from a "know-it-all to a learn-it-all?" Empathetic - are you putting yourself in your coachee's shoes? 12.31: What drives someone to do something? (the human psyche) Inner exploration - How do you think, act, and operate? Who are you? Because everything you do is an expression of those elements. 14.12: What causes someone to pause, rewind, or abandon a TEDx talk? Pause and rewind: For reflection purposes Abandon: 1) The speaker is not interesting 2) The idea is too complicated 3) Or it wasn't the idea they expected Therefore, knowing why people engage and why people disengage will come down to your ability to say the right thing, at the right time, to the right person, and in the right way = the craft of speaking. 15.38: You need basic rules to follow for a successful talk (it's an art and science). TEDx talk TIPS and considerations: Most people take about 8 drafts before they are even more comfortable sharing their message with the world. Remember that before you get this draft it probably won't feel good, and/or sound great but that's okay and it is a part of the process. Most people 'stop here' but keep defining and refining because that's the fun and compulsory part. A typical draft will take half a day to a week (Chat GPT can speed up this process). Prioritizing the importance will help you determine the amount of time you need to prepare. Memorize the key bullet points (25 times to know the content) and note that it will take you 50 times of practice before you will be able to deliver a LIVED EXPERIENCE. Can you deliver your talk without thinking about it? Remember that "hope is not a strategy when you are trying to influence someone," 98% of the time, speakers have anywhere between 60 - 90% too much content. What do you want people to THINK, FEEL, and DO after listening to your talk? A TEDx talk is - Ideas worth spreading, they are not lectures worth learning. When we are speaking, it is actually an opportunity to engage, build rapport, and establish and build a relationship. Otherwise, you are just transferring information and you would be missing the point of the purpose of speaking. 20.46: What are second-order consequences? (The consequence of the consequence. 24.29: How can we make STEM more appealing to girls at a younger age? Follow: Sarah Moran is co-founder of Girl Geek Academy, a movement to bring one million women and girls into technology careers by 2030. Book: Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez (Data bias in a world designed for men). Men need to be honest that they are successful because the world is built for them. 28.58: TED talk recommendations: Mastery talks because of their simplicity and profoundness: 1) Weird or Just Different by Derek Sivers 2) How to Tie Your Shoes by Terry Moore Great speakers are able to create this two-way dynamic When we are more symbiotic the joy of life seems to show itself and the struggle disappears.

On this episode of the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast, Craig Johns speaks with Jon Yeo about the intersection of human & artificial intelligence, TEDx Melbourne, and the importance of communication in leadership.

In this episode, Ashanti Bentil-Dhue talks to Solène Anglaret who is currently a Programme Manager for Disabled Innovators at Innovate UK. Solène is originally from France, but has a career spanning across six different countries. Solène discusses her entry point into DEI, what fascinated her by looking at humans' different backgrounds and different ways of thinking. Causing her to also see the many similarities in humans and opportunity for compassion. All of this contributed to Solène writing her storytelling venture called Be Beyond Borders. “We are encouraging other people, maybe who don't have the responsibilities or D&I goals, to do their own education and learning. And so if we don't do it, it's kind of like you put the oxygen mask on the other person before yourself, it's not going to work, right, you're going to run out of oxygen. So that peace around leadership, I think, is also really important. ”   Episode Highlights:  ● Surprises discovered whilst being in a DEI role ● How we as DEI professionals can innovate inclusively ● What advice Solène would share with aspiring DEI professionals   About Solène Anglaret:    Born and raised in France, Solène moved abroad for the first time when she was 18. She has since lived in 6 countries and travelled to nearly 60. After starting her career in the environmental sector, Solène then joined the travel industry, before finding her way into the world of diversity and inclusion in innovation. Over the past 10 years, she has gathered experience across a wide range of areas from strategy to project management, transformation, events, communication, leadership, coaching, culture change, diversity, and inclusion. She currently works as a Programme Manager for Disabled Innovators at Innovate UK. Solène is also an Author, Presenter, and Entrepreneur. Four years ago, she created Be Beyond Borders and published four books: Where to Next? (travel memoir), Where Are You From? (children's story), Where? (poetry) and Pensées d'Ailleurs (poetry) - all around the themes of identity, home, and belonging. She also spoke at TEDx Melbourne and many other events. In 2022, she launched The Inclusion Conversation, a talk show which aims to break down borders and bring the world closer together, one conversation at a time.  When not working or hustling, you'll find Solène travelling at every opportunity, spending time with her partner and family, walking in nature, and/or eating (too much) chocolate...!

Today I am excited to chat with a friend, a colleague and one of the most highly regarded authorities in the world of business influence and communication. His name is Jon Yeo, and he is an Executive Communications Coach and Licensee of TEDxMelbourne. He is also someone I would consider to be a translator of the space between business influence and emerging technologies revolutionising thought leadership. In working with leaders of all kinds, Jon focuses on building trust, empathy and engagement using an analytics approach to speaking and mastering influence online, onstage, and in life. He describes himself as a Radical inclusionist, and I can attest that everything he does is 100% focused on igniting human progress. Before today's interview, I had the pleasure of working with Jon as a part of the Tedx community and our work together as facilitators for the Speakers Institute and every time I have met him…I have had a deep curiosity to want to learn more about his perspectives on business and, more broadly, about the world. As an optimized leader, he exudes a calm and quiet influence. With Jon, I always feel I am in the presence of a wise sage. He has done the work and mastered his art through deep research, observation and execution. Integrity is at the foundation of not only who he is but also how he shows up in the world. Jon has a rare ability as a leader to hold space not to speak - but to be in a deep conversation with an audience. A transfer of energy that transforms every person in a room. And today, he shares with us exactly how he does that….which is so essential….because when we understand this, we know the gravity we have to lead the very change we seek. The kind of change the world needs today more so than ever before. Welcome to the podcast Jon Yeo.

We are often too busy to consider the impact of our work with each other.   In a world of 24/7 connectivity, it is somehow hard to find the time to just get our immediate work done. But by altering our focus in our everyday communications, we can increase our productivity work towards intentional outcomes with clients and colleagues. In this episode I speak with Licensee and Head of Curation of Tedx Melbourne and Communication Coach, Jon Yeo about how we can help our audiences engage with intent. To find out more about Jon, visit www.brightstar.net.au  To find out more about TED and Tedx, visit www.ted.com https://youtu.be/XjeSHJqEsvI Transcription Donna Hanson: In this Expert Insights episode, I'm speaking with Jon Yeo, aside from working as a communication coach assisting business leaders to engage with content since like 2009 Jon has been a licensee and head of curation TEDx Melbourne. Hi. JON AND WELCOME. Jon Yeo: Hi, Donna. Good to see you. Donna Hanson: I'm looking forward to finding out more about engaging with intent and particularly about your involvement with TEDx in Melbourne. I've always been curious about TED and TEDx now for the uninitiated what's TED and what's the difference between TED and TEDx Jon Yeo: Yeah, it's a good question and relatively common one. Ted began as a conference in 1984 and so it started in California. And so, they ran that for many, many years, and then they decided to do a global event which moves around Rio, Scotland all sorts of Africa. And they became the two Ted events that will know love which were all recorded a little bit later they decided to do what's called a Ted X license, which is an independent license. It is run by a local organizer in their geography. So, because I'm in Melbourne. I have the Melbourne based TEDx license. And so, each geography has its own TEDx license as well. Donna Hanson: And I guess that makes it easier for them to a create a bigger brand, a more global truly global audience and a mechanism for them to develop more content and obviously get the message out. Jon Yeo: Yeah. Absolutely got it in one Donna Hanson: So, what was the journey to becoming licensee and head of curation pathetic. Now that I'm guessing probably somebody just didn't come and knock on your door and say, hey, we've got this awesome opportunity. Would you like you know bit like door to door selling Jon Yeo: Look what the, I mean, there's still is an application process but effectively back then, Ted. Well, the that type of community that feature focus optimistic, you know, productive type communities was a bit of a rarity back then in 2009 and so became my tribe. And so, while I wasn't the founding licensee I was part of the team that began the organization and she had to decide in 2009 whether she was going to run the next TEDx Donna Hanson: Melbourne. Jon Yeo: Or organize her wedding. So it kind of landed on my lap. I didn't want the community to die, and he's just sort of the rest, State's history Donna Hanson: Oh, awesome. Now, just an additional you know added the blue curiosity factor. Um, is there a licensee fee? To buy Let's, let's not talk about numbers better fame doesn't generate revenue. Jon Yeo: Yeah, there is no fee but the license expires. The moment you run your event and it's renewed based on whether you're within 10% of the global net promoter score so that's the hard part. Because that's hard to keep up with. Donna Hanson: Well, I guess that's a benchmark designed to keep you focused on the end goal, which is making sure that every event you create is engaging Jon Yeo: Exactly, exactly. And so, all it is focused on event and experiencing experience design. Donna Hanson: And what do you think is made both TED and TEDx so popular globally. Because, I mean, you mentioned Ted or TEDx and instantaneous recognition worldwide. Jon Yeo: I think It's largely because I mean,

In this week's episode with Sandy McDonald we talk about the stories of hope, inspiration and connection that we all have. Sandy shares her story from almost bankrupt to creating a world wide movement that has helped 10s of thousands of children in Sth Africa. When Sandy started knitting squares for her Aunt in Sth Africa she never realised the difference she would make and the stories that she would become a custodian of. The international charity that Sandy started continues today without Sandy at the helm but in the very capable hands of a community of knitters around the world.Sandy took her experience and decided to re-write her own story to become the wise woman that she is today. In this conversation Sandy shares:why it is important not to define yourself by a label (job title, mother, wife, daughter etc) rather to see these as experiences, as part of your body of knowledgehow writing your story is a way of unpacking the value that you bring to the worldHer most important message was that your stories don't define your value, you don't need validation from others because your experience is your value.In 2014 Sandy presented at TedX Melbourne where she shared her story, if you would like to watch the video click HEREYou can learn more about the work that Sandy does via her website - http://sandymcdonald.com/

He’s well-known for his ability to articulate the complex simply and he works with CEOs and senior leadership teams to build trust, empathy, and engagement in an increasingly distracted world.He works with many famous national and international brands such as SAP, Princess Cruises, Auspost, MYOB, Deakin University, DHHS and DET.

Jon shares some insights regarding the vibes and the addictive quality of the support and the energy you get from exchanging ideas in a setting that’s proven to be highly stimulating.“There is a genuine interest in helping each other! And so this is really… a strong sense of community - how do we support each other through these grand visions that we all hold” - Jon YeoCreating a Ripple Effect by Doing Small ThingsJon is a huge believer in the fact that you can make a big difference in the world by doing accumulating small gestures you volunteer every day over an extended period of time. It is a belief that he acquired through his upbringing and there’s an entire TEDx talk that he made a while back centered around this idea.“Small things can make a big difference.” - Jon YeoBuilding Momentum Using First PrinciplesIn our introduction, we’ve mentioned that Jon is well-known for being able to articulate complex things simply. But he’s often encountered a mindset that people feel there needs to be something more to the story. Like we somehow expect that complexity itself adds value. He reflects on the universal and effective nature of first principles and how we can use them to build momentum.“If you think about first principles, none of those are complex. Yet they’re all universally and infinitely effective. I think people don’t want to think about first principles. Mostly because it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of effort and sometimes it’s confronting… And it’s that… resistance... that causes that momentum to be lost because we spend all our effort trying to break our inertia, rather than all our effort optimizing around that momentum.” - Jon YeoHow To Prepare a Good TEDx TalkThis was a unique experience for us to get valuable insight into what makes a strong TEDx Talk and Jon was very generous and honest in his response.“Is that talk, first of all, something that everyone’s talking about, no one’s talking about, or someone is talking about it but in a unique way… It’s that third one I’m looking for.” - Jon YeoCreating a Disproportionate Amount of AttentionIn order to get your story out there, you obviously need to have a strong position. But Jon also recognizes the necessity of creating attention and how you also need to invest your time and resources in an effort to develop a disproportionate amount of it.“If you have a great idea it’s not of any help to anyone if it doesn’t create attention. And a disproportionate amount of attention. If you think of great brands that always do that sort of thing, you’ve got… Elon Musk and his tweets, Richard Branson and his PR stunts… Once you know that you need to do that,... the other two factors are momentum and timing.” - Jon YeoThe Relationship Between Potential, Opportunities, and MomentumJon believes that each and every one of us needs to draw strength from and own a tendency to be the best person they can be. The consequences for not doing so can be dire for our growth and progress which he wonderfully explores in the relationship between three very important factors - Potential, Opportunities, and Momentum.“We’re undermining our potential. And if we’re undermining our potential, we’re undermining opportunities. And if we’re undermining our opportunities we’re undermining our momentum.” - Jon YeoStaying Invested In the Bigger PictureDuring the talk, Jon mentioned that we have a moral obligation to do our best, but he also recognizes that doing our best needs to encompass a notion of giving and sharing with others. We must not allow ourselves to be consumed by self-serving values.“I don’t think that our value to the community and the way that we will get rewarded is by self-serving attitudes and values. The only way humanity and community and culture and business and everything else we believe is important to us can really grow and amplify is if we’re constantly investing in that bigger picture.” - Jon YeoJon’s Message of Inspired EvolutionOh, how I loved talking to Jon and what a blessing this conversation has been! His analytical mind combined with a tendency to strive towards the simple provided me with a ton of inspiration and I hope they will inspire you as well. This has been a wonderful conversation about momentum and finding a unique voice that will help you tell your story in a way that affects the world for the better.“Stay the path. Believe that when you see something and that it lights you up - that is the right way. Be willing to that in order to have something new you have to give something up as well.” - Jon Yeo See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to another episode of the Decoding Purpose Podcast!Today I am feeling the buzz of the festive season upon us, so what better time to have a little bit of fun and to celebrate your tribe — those extraordinary human beings who make your world go round. And in my case, that tribe happens to consist of some of the brightest minds on the planet. Scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs and musicians who fundamentally believe through intelligent optimism we can change the world ...and that the world is already changing in the most miraculous of ways. That tribe is known as Future Crunch.Collectively we believe that science and technology are creating a future that is more peaceful, connected and abundant. We’re determined to share that story - via epic newsletters jam-packed with good news stories from all over the world, keynote presentations even fusing music with meaning as we lean into the intersection between performance and purpose — creativity and Thought Leadership.Today's guest on the podcast is the co-founder of Future Crunch and my business partner - the Incredible Dr Angus Hervey. Gus and I were both incredibly excited to come together for this podcast to firstly celebrate the birth of his newborn daughter and newest member of our tribe but to also decode turning points, mindset, the media and movements in our pursuit to unlock the power of both purpose and intelligent optimism.The most exciting part is that we also unpacked Futures Crunch brand new keynote launching in 2020 - The Adaptability Quotient. Why might you ask? Two reasons: because at Future Crunch we believe that adaptability is an essential skill for navigating the 21st century, and purpose is the anchor by which adaptability can thrive. You’ve heard of IQ and EQ; this century belongs to those that are quick to read and act on signals of change.To give you a brief recap of Angus's formal bio - he is a political economist specialising in the impact of disruptive technologies on society. Along with founding Future Crunch, he was the founding community manager of Random Hacks of Kindness, a global initiative from Google, IBM, Microsoft, NASA and the World Bank to create open-source technology solutions to social challenges. He was also the first editorial manager for Global Policy, one of the world's leading international policy journals. He holds a PhD in Government and a Masters in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics, where he was also the Ralph Miliband Scholar from 2009 to 2012.Now to stay in the spirit of Adaptability - today, I wanted to shake things up with the intro and have some creative fun. It just so happens that I am also joined in the studio by the most creative member of The Future Crunch team - our in house philosopher Will Tait. Will is the creative genius behind the keyboard performing with Future Crunch at prominent events in 2019 including Tedx Melbourne and SingularityU Australia, and he has created a special surprise intro for Dr Angus Hervey.Welcome to the Decoding Purpose Podcast!

TED Talks deliver "ideas worth sharing" but what makes one presentation more captivating than others?

Jon has a rich history of helping leaders engage their followers, and for developing speakers to present both TED Talks and business presentations.

Kids at work = happy. What are your thoughts in kids and the future of work? You may not know this but recently when my son asked me if he could take a day off school in order to watch me at TEDx Melbourne, I said absolutely! I figured Sax would learn more watching 13 amazing speakers than he would in his Grade 2 classroom.Equally, as a single mum, I know how hard it can be when an opportunity presents and you can't find care for your child. That's why I'm a huge advocate of children being integrated with work to ensure that parents can #showup for opportunities they desire to.Why am I telling you this? Because I couldn't wait to share with you my latest podcast interview with Laynton Allan, founder of KidsCo Australia and ex-school teacher.

Get your presentation skills right and you can totally transform your business, so listen up to our esteemed guest Jon Yeo. Jon is the licensing curator of TEDx Melbourne and has worked as a specialist consultant for numerous TEDx speakers, so he understands exactly what it takes for speakers to succeed at the highest level. There were so many pearls of wisdom from Jon, which were delivered clearly and succinctly as you can imagine! Here are some of the highlights:   **  Speaking is becoming more relevant. In an era where words have been reduced down for mediums like Twitter, TED-style talks (18 minutes or less) are more relevant than ever. **  On-demand education from talks is becoming more popular by the day, because of how fluid people’s careers are these days. People need to learn a lot of different things throughout their career but often can’t justify learning in the same academic depth as they used to. **  Good communication is a balance of relevance and engagement. Think ‘content’, ‘context’ and ‘intent’. **  When giving a talk, get over the fact you’re transferring knowledge. The emphasis should be on giving insight. Aspire to get your audience to say “tell me more about that”. **  It takes and average of 25 times to fully ‘embody’ your content. The amount of practice you need to put in when speaking is to get you to the point where you are so ‘embodied’ in your content, your delivery sounds natural. **  The greatest speakers have the ability to change the tone, pitch and positioning of information. **  Always remember your audience. This sounds obvious, but you must think long and hard about what they might want to hear, and give them a message that’s digestible. **  Be clear on your desired outcome at the end. That way you know what content to leave out.   In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn:   **  How long you should practice for a talk **  How to market yourself to TEDx **  How to cram your message in to 18 minutes **  The 9 dimensions of communication **  What is the right amount of content **  The benefits of speaking coaching **  The 5 levels of understanding **  Do we still need subject matter experts?   Resources mentioned in this episode:   **  Ben’s free business planning template: http://www.maxmyprofit.com.au **  To connect with Tim on Linkedin, send him a request beginning with the sentence “Jon, I heard your interview” **  All previous BBF episodes & show notes can be found at http://www.businessbrainfood.com.au **  Twitter: https://twitter.com/bfewtrell   As Jon said, think of the potential loss of opportunity if you stuff up your pitch/speech. This is a fundamental part of business that you need to master! Also, if you are enjoying these Business Brain Food podcasts, then make sure to share them via social media sites or email the links to family and friends. A lot of time and effort goes into producing each of these podcasts with the goal in mind of the more people we can inspire about business the better. You can help us do just that!
