Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined once again by Ascension Guide, Direct Channel, Activator and author the wonderful Marie Fleming Grant. In this episode we talk about the wave of activations and awakenings that people are experiencing globally, as humanity engages with a huge planetary shift which first began in 2020. Marie also explains the timeline shift which has set the planet on an ascended course, and offers advice on how to navigate this evolutionary transit. So please join me as look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Marie reveals that humanity has shifted onto what she calls "the golden timeline," moving away from a potentially dystopian future toward an inevitably positive outcome, despite current global challenges. She shares that the chaos and upheaval we're currently witnessing is actually a necessary part of the awakening process, like a wrecking ball clearing space for something beautiful to be built. Right now people are experiencing waves of activation and awakening, particularly in recent months, as more individuals begin to question mainstream narratives and think critically. According to Marie, everyone is making an impact on the planet's evolution, even during sleep, and viral social media success isn't a measure of one's contribution to the collective awakening. She discusses how the programming we've received since birth is being challenged and dismantled, allowing people to rediscover their authentic selves and true potential. Marie shares that 2025 will bring continued awakenings, with different people awakening at different paces and through various catalysts. She describes channelling as a natural process that everyone does to some degree, whether through artistic expression or intuitive guidance. While more light is entering the planet, this creates a push-pull dynamic with heavy energies, which explains the current global tensions. BEST MOMENTS "We've shifted onto a different alternate timeline... we're on a golden timeline. The golden timeline means that we are headed for a very wonderful future for humanity. We are set on course. It's inevitable." "You're doing a lot on the planet, even when you're asleep... just by breathing, just by how you think, how you're operating in the world, it's so impactful." "Sometimes the thing that you're really holding at bay, you're very fearful of, could be the very thing you're actually here to do." "For some people it will be more traumatic... like everything's being ripped open. And for other people it'll be more of a soft kind of general awakening." ABOUT THE GUEST Marie is a Direct Channel, Ascension Guide & Activator, who works with Leaders, Healers, Impact Makers, Conscious Business Owners, Visionary CEO's & Entrepreneurs, and those here on their Mission to assist the collective shift. Marie is also an Author, Founder of 'The Awake Revolution' and creator of 'High Level Channel International Training Academy.' She guides and activates people to drop the old paradigms in life, business & mission, wake up to who they really are, and revolutionise how they think, feel, live and create, to be all of who they came here to be.

Check out ElevateMyAgency.com and grab your spot! Hiring and Training for Success: Build an Agency That Thrives Without You Mandi started Hands Off twelve years ago when she ran into a big problem as she was about to take maternity leave: her business could not run or grow without her. Her search for a solution led her to accidentally start a consulting company to prevent other business owners from getting to the stressful point she found herself in years ago. Most agency owners are not hands-off and can't even say they own their agency, more like it owns them. This is why they need strategic hiring practices and methodologies to ensure they recruit individuals who can truly add value to their operations. The crux of the hiring process lies in identifying candidates who not only possess the requisite skills but also align with the company's culture and vision. For Mandi, this all hinges on putting together the right hiring funnel, which starts with the right ad that outlines the responsibilities of the role and highlights what makes the agency an attractive workplace. An ineffective hiring funnel usually leads to: Hiring a person that is well below the level you need. Not knowing how to effectively train this person you hire. Even if you do find someone who is the right fit for the job and your agency, they could end up failing without the right structure to learn how to operate your business. The Importance of Compelling Job Ad to Attract the Right Candidates To create a well-structured hiring process start with a compelling job ad that clearly outlines the responsibilities for the role and resonates with potential candidates. A great ad emphasizes the company culture, growth opportunities, and the impact they can have within the organization. A strong ad serves as the first filter, ensuring only those who are genuinely interested in the position apply. Add small ‘mousetraps', like asking them to email you with a specific subject or with the CV attached, and watch as many of the candidates get themselves out of the race just by not following directions. In terms of experience, Mandi recommends looking for people who not only have relevant operational experience but also possess the ability to adapt and grow within the role. This includes assessing their problem-solving skills, their capacity to manage teams, and their understanding of the agency's specific goals and challenges. Additionally, Mandi recommends assigning candidates a detailed project plan. This exercise allows them to demonstrate their proficiency with project management software and their grasp of the complexities involved in juggling multiple tasks. By engaging candidates in practical assessments, agency owners can effectively distinguish between those who may be skilled at talking the talk but cannot walk the walk. This method of assessment is crucial for identifying genuine talent and reducing the risk of hiring individuals who may not deliver on their promises. Finally, it's normal to find a failure point during the hiring process. It doesn't necessarily have to be a deal breaker but something that concerns you enough to be unsure about the hire. It could be that they're too shy or a people-pleaser. If you encounter this type of risk, assess it and find out if it can be retrained. Cultivating Self-Managing Employees from Day One Once the right candidates are onboarded, it is crucial to establish a structured training plan that reinforces their proactive engagement in their roles. Mandi advocates for empowering operations managers to create week-by-week plans that outline their responsibilities and milestones. This approach not only fosters accountability but also encourages managers to take ownership of their projects. Agency owners play a supportive role by regularly checking in on progress, asking questions, and providing assistance as needed. Agency leaders need to shift from a traditional management style to a more empowering approach where they recognize their role is not to micromanage but to create an environment where team members can thrive independently. You want them to be self-managing. This perspective is crucial; when team members are given the autonomy to take ownership of their work, they become more engaged, motivated, and accountable. Empowering individuals to manage their own tasks not only alleviates the burden on leaders but also cultivates a culture of trust and collaboration. Eventually, the implementation of key pieces, such as client health scoring, project management, and communication protocols serve as critical tools to exit the agency owner out of account management and operations management and ultimately have a right-hand employee who will be in charge of driving growth. Key Traits of an Exceptional Ops Manager When it comes to hiring the right Operations Manager you'll need to be handing off control to someone with a keen eye for detail, who is assertive, and can question decisions. Impeccable attention to detail and follow-through is not merely a desirable trait; it is essential for ensuring that tasks are completed accurately and efficiently and serves as the foundation for operational excellence. Additionally, this person is different from the typical Visionary/ CEO. Essentially, they adopt a more structured and perhaps serious approach, which is perfectly acceptable since ops managers operate in a very different way than a CEO does. Just make sure there's good chemistry with this person and that they are not only skilled but also proactive in seeking efficiencies and cost savings. This mindset is crucial in an operations role, where the ability to identify and eliminate waste can significantly impact the bottom line. However, the focus should not solely be on minor cost savings; rather, it should be about understanding where the greatest impact can be made. Delegating Results, Not Processes Entrepreneurs often fall into the trap of trying to dictate how tasks should be accomplished, which can stifle creativity and initiative. Instead, a true leader should clearly articulate their desired outcomes—such as improved profitability or streamlined operations—and empower their teams to devise the methods for achieving these goals. This shift in mindset allows team members to take ownership of their work, fostering a sense of responsibility and encouraging innovative problem-solving. When your operations staff is empowered to take the lead in optimizing systems and processes, you'll be able to redirect your energy toward strategic initiatives, such as sales and market expansion. This delegation not only enhances productivity but also maximizes the return on investment for your business. First and foremost, effective leadership in operations starts with providing a clear strategic direction. CEOs must articulate the organization's vision and objectives to their operations leaders instead of merely assigning tasks and expecting results. This clarity allows operations leaders to align their efforts with the broader goals of the organization. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Women Lead Differently In the Best Way Possible Our special guest on She Talks Business this week has had a profound impact on some of the most accomplished female entrepreneurs of our time, guiding them to reach new heights in their businesses. We are incredibly lucky to have Kris Plachy on the show, as she is busy doing so many amazing things and is in such high demand. She does so many great things, including being the founder of The Visionary CEO and the host of the "Leadership is Feminine" podcast. Kris has supported powerful women in generating millions of dollars by hiring, leading, and firing hundreds of team members and navigating countless difficult moments, circumstances, and conversations. Which Qualities Make the Best Leaders? To start the show, we discuss which traits women have that make them exceptional leaders. If you think about it, leaders are usually described as powerful and authoritative with a lot of gravitas, but I want you to think about the leader you've admired most in your own experience. More than likely, they weren't the stern, demanding, and commanding figures we picture when we think of leaders. The best leaders cultivate culture; they listen to us, support our efforts, and make us feel motivated and excited to do well. And do you know who excels at creating that kind of environment? Women. Define Your Mission, Vision, & Values Hiring, firing, and running your team will get infinitely easier once you clearly define your expectations—your mission, vision, and values—within your business. Identifying your values then helps you define each team member's roles and expected performance. By aligning your team with those qualities and goals, you are aligning yourself and your team for success in achieving your next milestone. Your Team Members Are Not Your Allies In this episode, we also dive into the challenges women must overcome to lead their teams effectively and to keep their goals in focus. These challenges include having difficult conversations with team members who may be underperforming or are no longer the right fit. Another common struggle is women finding allies on their team. Discussing your roadblocks with someone for their perspective is important, but your allies are not your employees. Your allies will be mentors and third parties with an outside perspective of your business who, more than likely, have already done what you're aiming to do. I think you're really going to enjoy this episode! Kris gives you great, actionable tips on how to be more comfortable with difficult conversations and how to approach them with confidence.

Today we are exploring the dynamic relationship between a Visionary CEO with a big drive and big goals, and her talented and badass Rainmaker, who also happens to be step-mom and daughter. Tune in as we delve into how this dynamic started. You'll hear from Julia, the Visionary CEO, as she shares where her vision comes from and why it means so much to her, and from Beth, the Rainmaker, as she explains how she got behind Julia's vision and how the relationship was formed from being step-mom and step-daughter. We explore how Beth learned her skills through grit and hard work and how Julia has helped her grow as a leader. Along the way, we'll discuss their different personalities and how this dynamic works. We'll also outline the recipe for success between this duo, from not surrounding yourself with 'yes' people and being pushed out of your comfort zone to hiring students who are already bought into the organization's values.Learn more about my guest, Julia:Julia has taught over 3,200 women (and some awesome men) to say "YES" to learning tech skills (most of whom never considered themselves techy in their lives)! She is a (former) military wife, self-taught web developer, lover of location independence, and a passionate advocate for women in tech! In the pursuit of her own career and career progression, she taught herself how to code. It was love at first sight and learning this one skill has changed her life in ways that she never thought possible.Julia is incredibly fortunate to run her multiple 7-figure business from the comfort of her sofa (or wherever in the world she might be)... All because she stumbled upon tech and learned marketable in-demand skills! Empowering women and seeing others succeed is the biggest motivator for Julia. And so, she created a platform to teach others the skills that allowed her to take back control of her life and start living on her own terms.Learn more about my guest, Beth:Beth has 7+ years of experience as a marketing and ops lead. In the last 4 years with GeekPack, she has planned and executed 7 major online events, resulting in over $1.4M in revenue. Her innovation and flexibility has built a sustainable ecosystem for marketing and sales, which can ride out any market conditions. Beth is passionate about empowering team members to act within their zone of genius and creates opportunities for growth within individual roles.Julia's Links:https://go.geekpack.com/geekpackConnect with Veronica on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vromney/If you're ready to transition from full-time Marketer to full-time Founder of your own business apply for the Rainmaker Residency™: https://rainmakerresidency.com/How I Turn Your Team Member Into A Revenue Generating Rainmaker For Your Company, Take a look at my Fortune 5 Framework™ Syllabus for FREE! https://rainmakerresidency.com/optin-rrsSkip the formal recruiting process and learn how to source Rainmaker applicants that are already connected to you: https://rainmakerresidency.com/rainmaker-hiring-kitDelving deep into the tough topics we often face as scaling business owners that AREN'T talked about often, sign up to The Rainmaker Report: https://rainmakerresidency.com/rainmaker-reportIf you found value in today's episode, I would appreciate it if you could leave a rating and review.
