| License to Thrill… Your Audience - 285 | 21 Mar 2024 | 00:21:32 | |
The other day I had a talk planning call with a potential client, and he said: “I just want to get consistent results. Sometimes I start my talk and I can feel the energy shift, and I know I’ve engaged them. But other times, I just can’t get their attention, and I want to understand how to do this consistently every time I speak.” The truth is that grabbing your audience’s attention in the right way, (or ‘hooking’’ them in, as I call it), is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for a successful talk. The first 180 seconds of your talk is perhaps the most crucial, and that’s because in those two to three minutes you are communicating a lot to your audience without even realising it. In this show, I’m going to show you how to make the most of that time, and to avoid the bear traps I so often see speakers falling into at the start of their talk. Enjoy! What you’ll learn:

Kaye is here to share her thoughts on how to promote your business in a way that feels right for you, and how she uses speaking to grow her business too.

| Storytelling. The Long and Short of It - 194 | 28 Oct 2021 | 00:16:38 | |
There is no doubt that stories are the most powerful vehicle for getting your audience to buy in emotionally to your message. BUT you have a limited amount of time to get your story across before their attention starts to wander. Even TV, movies or books that you have chosen to engage with, have a finite time to grab your attention, before you switch off, and in the world of speaking and marketing, that window of time is even smaller. In this show, I’m going to be sharing the what and the why of tiny stories that pack a big punch, so that you can make sure you're not missing your opportunity to make your message land. Enjoy!

| Best Of: The Productivity Ninja Speaks with Graham Allcott - 193 | 21 Oct 2021 | 01:09:43 | |
One of the main things I teach people is how to get and keep peoples’ attention. That’s because in today’s world attention is more precious and valuable than gold. Social media companies employ genius minds to work out better ways to keep us ‘in the matrix’, and all of us are bombarded with notifications, information, entertainment and choice. So... not only is it harder to get peoples’ attention, it’s harder for us all to pay attention. Yet without time that’s free from distraction, we will never get our best work done. That’s why I’ve brought this show back into focus for you. It’s one of the first 50 shows I released and I believe it is one of my best. Graham Allcott is a productivity expert, but it wasn’t always that way. In this show you’ll find out how he got productive and has helped thousands of people to get life and work back under control. After founding his company Think Productive, Graham went on to write Productivity Ninja, which is a worldwide best seller. Today his team works with companies all over the world, he is a speaker, and is currently working on other productivity related projects that will broaden the Ninja brand and help us all work smarter. Enjoy! What you’ll learn

| Spotlight Review - Learn from My Take on These Talks - 192 | 14 Oct 2021 | 00:24:29 | |
I wanted to do something a little different with this episode and that’s to add in some video content, so that you can see my teaching points in action. Every month, as part of my regular newsletter, I do a talk spotlight. I share a link to a short talk and my analysis on what is good, or could be done differently to increase audience impact and engagement. In this show I’m sharing some of these talks, my take on their structure, content and delivery, and some of the coaching points I’d have given to the speakers if they had been working with me. I’m hoping that it helps cement some of the tips and coaching I’ve given you in past episodes by bringing them to life for you. Also, these talks have some great ideas and messages, and I’m sure you’re going to learn some extra stuff from them too. Enjoy!

| Why We Need to Treat Our Audience Like Ebenezer Scrooge - 189 | 23 Sep 2021 | 00:15:23 | |
As you know I believe that speaking is marketing, it’s an opportunity to influence and inspire an audience to make a change. But getting anyone to shift perspective and do something differently is as challenging as getting a river to alter its course. For most of us the status quo is more comfortable and subconsciously feels ‘safer’, even if it isn’t leading us to where we say we want to go. So … when you only have a short amount of time with your audience, how can you possibly motivate them to take action? That’s what this show is all about. I’m going to be sharing the dynamics of change with you, so that you understand what levers you need to pull, and then I’m going to show you how to move them in the direction you want to go. Enjoy!

| Best Of: The 4 Steps to Framework Success in Your Public Speaking - 187 | 09 Sep 2021 | 00:18:12 | |
Have you got a framework that pulls your IP together and makes your idea, product or service more memorable? I believe if you haven’t - you should! Recently, something happened with one of my mastermind members that brought the content of this episode to mind. She had been stuck with her messaging and content - yes, she was moving forward but it felt like she was wading through treacle, rather than being inspired, energised and motivated. Then a conversation happened at a networking meeting which helped her to identify a framework for the process she takes her clients through. Suddenly the clouds parted and this is what she said … “This framework could then form the basis of all my conversations … I have to say it’s got me all fired up!” So, if you’re lacking in motivation around your messaging, perhaps creating or refreshing your framework might help! What’s also important is when you find it, you share it in the best way, and that’s why I’ve dug this episode out of the archives for you. Enjoy!

A lot of people have ideas that they think would make things better, but few progress beyond the daydream of what if? My guest in this show had an idea that she just couldn’t shake, and after enrolling her sister, they set off on an adventure to make it real. Today, Ruth Anslow is a social entrepreneur and a keen advocate of doing business for social benefit, beyond just making profit. In 2010 she decided to take on supermarkets and co founded HISBE Food with her sister, Amy. HISBE is a supermarket chain with a difference, built on a social enterprise business model and designed to support a sustainable future for food and farming. Alongside running HISBE, Ruth co founded The Good Business Club, to connect entrepreneurs who are starting, running and growing a “business for good” with the support and resources they need. In 2019 she started “HISBE Bootcamp,” to equip the next generation of food rebels to follow in HISBEs footsteps and launch their own change-making shops and brands. In this show Ruth is sharing tips for how to get your idea off the ground, including how she used TEDx and speaking to spread the message. Enjoy!

| Why You Need A Signature Sign Off - 185 | 25 Aug 2021 | 00:15:41 | |
One of the things that is critical to success in business and speaking is building your brand. And a big trap that many people fall into, is failing to share how they add value in a way that makes their brand and message memorable. The problem is that if you’re not memorable then you won’t be recommended or referred, and if people forget who you are they can’t look you up. That’s why a great ‘signature sign off’ is something I recommend all my clients and students to craft, so that they minimise the risk of being forgotten. But, there are some important things to get right and pitfalls to avoid when you’re putting this together, and that’s where this show comes in. Enjoy! What you’ll discover:

| Level Up Your Lives With These Nine Tips - 183 | 12 Aug 2021 | 00:24:30 | |
For many the choice between swimming in shark infested waters or going live on social media is a tough one. But because it can play such a powerful role in building your brand, authority and following more and more people are, (often reluctantly), going live. The trouble is that whilst there is absolutely merit in going live regularly to get through the fear and build your confidence, the content produced when you’re ‘having a go’ can often be dull as dishwater. If you’re going to take the plunge, and do some live speaking on social media, there is no reason you can’t do it well from the start. That’s where this show and my nine tips come in. These tips will form a kind of ‘essentials checklist’ for you to follow, so that you can be confident that your ‘lives’ are moving you and your audience forward on the journey towards working together.

| Saving Lives through Storytelling with Gareth Lock - 181 | 28 Jul 2021 | 01:03:47 | |
Gareth Lock has been involved in high-risk work since he left school in 1989. He spent 25 years in the RAF in a variety of front-line operational, research and development and systems engineering roles which has given him a unique perspective. In 2005 he fell in love with diving, started his training and is now an advanced diver. As he was learning and diving, Gareth couldn’t help but notice issues within the industry that increased health risks and potential loss of life. So, in 2016 he formed The Human Diver with the goal of bringing his operational, human factors and systems thinking to diving safety. His work in diving safety and performance development is all about telling context rich stories that help people learn through adverse events. Over the past five years he has trained more than 350 people face-to-face around the globe, and taught nearly 2000 people via online programmes. He has also sold more than 4000 copies of his book Under Pressure, which contains 30 stories of events, and has also produced a documentary, “If Only’, which tells the story of a fatal dive and how it might have been avoided. In this show he is sharing his own story and how he uses speaking and stories to inspire change.

| Tips for Remembering Your Talk - 180 | 22 Jul 2021 | 00:20:43 | |
In my experience, the impact of the fear of forgetting what you want to say manifests itself in three big ways: First there are the group of people who put off, or give up on their dream of speaking and sharing their message… and this can lead to negative self-talk, low self-worth, and the anger and frustration of comparisonitis. Then there are the people who compensate for this fear of forgetting by having their talk as text on their slides, or having a full script that they read from. This will likely sabotage their success because the audience will become bored and disengaged. The third group is the ‘wing it’ brigade. They’re also compensating for the fear, but they do it by not preparing properly. Very few people will do a good talk here, and it’s more likely their message will be rambling, and maybe the audience will be paying attention, but only in the way that people do when a car crash is happening. In this show, you’ll hear me working with one of my TSC Live members who wanted to get some tips for remembering her talk. If you would also like to improve your recall and content confidence, then you’ll find this useful too. Enjoy!

| Making Your Brand Uniquely You with Becky Benfield-Humberstone - 283 | 22 Feb 2024 | 00:57:46 | |
Not too long ago I heard one of the gurus in my space say that one of the big factors in his success is that when everyone else ‘zigs’, he ‘zags’. You can see ‘zigging’ going on all around you, suddenly everyone wants to be a neurodiversity expert, or an AI expert, because that’s what’s hot, because they are chasing the trend. But what if you don’t do that? What if you go your own way, and stay true to who you are and who you want to help? That is the path that Becky Benfield-Humberstone has chosen right from the get go. A born entrepreneur, Becky left school at 16 to start her own super niched business, Utterly Horses, which became the largest model horse stockist (yes, it’s a thing) in Europe, with a product range of over 2,500 items that retailed to a customer base of over 50,000 people and corporate clients. After successfully exiting that business in 2018, Becky wanted a new challenge. That’s when she created Brand Artisan, and in that business she has been helping business owners bring their visions to life, stand out, and exponentially grow their businesses. She is joining me here to talk about all things branding, storytelling and marketing, and I know you are going to pick up some golden nuggets from her.

| The 4% Mindset and Why You Should Think Like Apple with Iain Cahill - 174 | 10 Jun 2021 | 00:48:59 | |
Iain Cahill is a qualified accountant, with over 30 years’ experience creating and investing in businesses as well as providing financial mentoring to other Business owners and he’s on a mission! In the early 90’s Iain Cahill started a company in the catering industry with his sister, a while later he took a break to take his accountancy exams. When he returned the company had run into financial trouble, and Iain had to find a way to pay off the debts, a significant proportion of which were overdue tax payments. Having just studied taxation and the opportunities available to big organisations to make them work in their favour, Iain wondered if small businesses could adopt the same approach. This set him off on a mission, one which not only salvaged the reputation of his first company, but led to him identifying what he calls the 4% mindset, which is at the heart of what he does today and the market disrupting businesses he has created. Enjoy

| Shifting from Awkward to Awesome in Public Speaking (Part 2) - 173 | 03 Jun 2021 | 00:19:58 | |
I was asked to do a session for Catherine Gladwyn’s membership on ‘How to Nail Public Speaking’... I didn’t chose that title… I can certainly get you a long way forward, but even I can’t teach you to nail public speaking in an hour! In order to deliver the most value to this group of entrepreneurs and business owners, I asked Catherine to ask them a couple of questions…
We had some great responses. The top five fears centred around lack of confidence, concern about looking or feeling inadequate, forgetting what to say, and two around delivery in terms of filler words and being clear and articulate. The top five desires were to be confident, relaxed, natural, interesting and entertaining and to have a presence. So I created this interactive talk, which I’m sharing across two episodes, to move them closer to overcoming those problems and becoming the speaker they want to be. And I hope it helps you too!

| The Secret Stigma that Turned into a Superpower with Lexa Wokersien - 171 | 19 May 2021 | 00:52:11 | |
Lexa Wokersien has had a career in marketing and communications for 17 years, and during that time, in addition to juggling the demands of her job, she has been keeping a big secret. Worried about what it would mean for her career should it come out, she has struggled alone to find workarounds and tools that will enable her to fulfil her potential despite being at a significant disadvantage to her peers. Recently, Lexa came on my Snackable Story Challenge and over the course of five days she found that she had a powerful message to share. Lexa is dyslexic, and she wants to tell her story so that other people in the same situation don’t have to hide away and cope on their own like she did. When I heard about her journey and the potential her story had for showing other people with dyslexia that speaking and storytelling are possible for them, I knew I had to have her on the show.

| How to Avoid Drowning Your Future in the Well of Intention - 170 | 13 May 2021 | 00:15:00 | |
There are some areas of my own life and business where I’ve not been getting the results I want. No matter what I’ve tried I just can’t seem to get it to work, and it’s been frustrating and upsetting and a few times I’ve wanted to throw in the towel. But recently, I discovered that I might be making the same mistake that countless numbers of us do, a mistake that leads us down the path of suffering and away from the island of success. If there is any aspect of your life or business where you have or are experiencing similar feelings, then take a listen as this might apply to you too! What you’ll discover:

| Best Of: Psychological Speaking Success with Richard Wiseman - 169 | 06 May 2021 | 00:49:51 | |
This episode was originally released a couple of years ago, and it definitely meets my ‘best of’ criteria. Richard Wiseman is a powerhouse in many different worlds from entertainment to academia. He’s a multiple best-selling author, renowned academic, global speaker, and youtube influencer, which really doesn’t even scratch the surface of what he does! Suffice to say he’s a man of many talents…he started off in magic and still acts as a creative consultant to the world’s best magicians and illusionists, TV shows, and movies…and if he’s not advising on them he’s presenting them. He is a Professor of Psychology, and his research has been published across the world, alongside being a 12-time author of some of the most popular business psychology books today. His books have been translated into over 20 languages, and many of them explore the science of success, and focus on practical, evidence-based, techniques that improve people’s personal and professional lives. Alongside all of this he’s spoken globally for the likes of Google, Amazon, and The Royal Society, has two YouTube channels ‘In 59 Seconds’ and ‘Quirkology’ that have over 2 million subscribers and 500 million views. Described as one of the most “innovative experimental psychologists in the world today”, he’s clearly got lots to share on the secret of success, how to make your stuff, (even science stuff), engaging Enjoy!

| The Lowdown on Ums, Ahhs and Filler Words and Why Worrying About Them Could be Sabotaging Your Speaking - 168 | 29 Apr 2021 | 00:16:47 | |
So many people worry about using umms and ahhs when they speak ... and some speaking organisations and coaches make the elimination of filler words a big focus. But do they matter? In this show I want to share why we use them, and to make the case for and against focusing on getting rid of filler words. We’re also going to look at the psychological trick we play against ourselves that contributes to this fear. Finally, I’m also going to give some strategies for eliminating them, if you really feel they are getting in the way of you becoming a successful speaker. What you’ll discover:

This episode was originally released in early 2018 and it has so much gold in it for making your stories more powerful and growing your audience and business, that I wanted to bring it to the top of the pile. It’s like you’re attending a mini-masterclass from a Hollywood expert. Michael Hauge has been involved with creating compelling stories for years. Mention Michael’s name at any exclusive Hollywood party and everyone knows who he is and how he supercharges the power of story in their scripts. He’s written best-selling books on screenwriting, how to pitch your story in Hollywood, and one on how you can share your story so that you build an emotional connection with your audience and win more business. Michael began working with entrepreneurs like Andre Chaperon and Russell Brunson to take their stories deeper and help their messages create amazing results. In this show, he is sharing the same lessons and value and I hope they help you to have as much success with stories in your business. Enjoy!

| Getting Results with the Law of Attraction ...Whether You Believe in it Or Not! with Andrew Kap - 166 | 15 Apr 2021 | 01:04:15 | |
A load of old rubbish, or the secret to unlocking everything you’ve ever hoped and dreamed of? Those are the two sorts of reactions that you get when the subjects of ‘Manifestation’ and ‘The Law of Attraction’ come up. Like many, I watched ‘The Secret’ and was ever so slightly skeptical that if I visualised a Maserati turning up in my garage it would happen … (I actually don’t have a garage, so I would have been doubly impressed!) But over the past two years I’ve been actively exploring the Law of Attraction and manifestation and I’ve had results with it that I can’t ignore… that’s why I wanted to bring Andrew Kap onto the show. Andrew is the author of “The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need To Read” and it offers readers a different take on it from the usual books you’ll find. It addresses WHY people who get excited about trying it still can’t manage to get in the habit of using these methods for just five minutes a day. The book has enjoyed continued success, including over 1,500 five-star rave reviews, #1 Best Seller status in multiple categories on Amazon, and a growing YouTube channel devoted to it. I’m getting the low down on his work and how he manages skeptical audiences too! Whatever your current position on it, I hope you’ll listen with an open mind to what he has to say … you never know it might change your life!

SHOW NOTES If people believe that you can deliver what they want and need, they will book you to speak, or buy your products or services. But in showing them that you can deliver there's a fine line between confident and cocky, and if you cross that line, it can push people away… and you don’t want that. So … how do you show authority without shoving it in people’s faces? Well that’s what I’m going to talk about today. Here’s what this show will cover:

| Stop Sabotaging and Start Soaring! - 165 | 08 Apr 2021 | 00:18:35 | |
If you feel that there is a gap between where you are with your speaking and where you want to be, then chances are this show will give you an insight into what might be causing it and how to begin closing it. That’s because in this episode, I’m going to be sharing how I believe you need to ‘be’ as a speaker, if you’re going to use speaking to successfully build your audience, business or movement. The greatest speakers, those who light up the space and the audience, have four things in common. They are natural, inspiring, compelling and engaging… NICE. I believe that being a NICE speaker is something that is within everyone’s grasp, but some people sabotage themselves before they’ve had a chance to fulfil their potential. That’s why I’m going to be sharing the things that can sabotage your success and those that can make you soar. What you’ll discover:

| Unblock the Dam and Set Your Stories Free! - 164 | 01 Apr 2021 | 00:25:02 | |
My life and business revolve around stories… in my downtime I love reading, watching and listening to them, and in my business, I tell, teach and write them. But it’s not just my life that stories impact… they underpin the fabric of all of our cultures, religions and societies, and they can bypass defences, connect with us, and build bridges like nothing else can. Whilst the power of stories has always been there, it feels like their potential is just being realised in the world of business and I think it’s true to say that if you are not using them yet in your business to market your products or services and build a relationship with your customers then you are missing a vital piece of the puzzle. In my experience of working with clients both on the speaking coaching and the marketing side, there are two things that get in the way of people using stories. The first is not being clear on what is meant by story… and the second is doubting you have any interesting ones to share. In this show I want to tackle both of those barriers and move them out of the way for you. Enjoy! What you’ll discover:

| How to Spend Your Time Wisely with Catherine Gladwyn - 163 | 25 Mar 2021 | 00:47:12 | |
If you’re hustling day and night, but finding you’ve very little to show for it in terms of results, then don’t worry you’re not alone. One of the biggest complaints you’ll hear from people in business is that “there’s not enough time in the day”... any yet many of us are wasting so much of it without even realising. This can cause overwhelm, stress, anxiety and potentially burnout… and that’s why I wanted to bring Catherine Gladwyn on this show. She’s an expert business mentor and multi-award winning #1 bestselling author of two business books. In 2018 The Independent newspaper listed her first book as one of ten best business books written by women and since then she has gone on to be featured in many national publications including The Guardian, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, etc. Catherine has learnt through experience and necessity how to protect and value her time. That’s because as well as enduring a recurring brain tumour, she also lives every day with Addison’s disease. After needing four months off in 2019, she has now designed and built her business so that if she ever needs surgery again, her business can continue on without her, keeping her finances and business presence secure. In this show, she’s not only sharing how to keep your business safe, but also how to grow by doing less.

| The 4 Step Formula for Smashing Interview Presentations! - 162 | 18 Mar 2021 | 00:24:23 | |
The news that you’re going to have to do an interview presentation can result in a number of different reactions. Frustration and worry, overconfidence, or a complete meltdown that can even lead to withdrawing your application! It’s understandable why people can feel nervous, or cavalier about them. Often you get just a title, if you’re lucky maybe a few lines of a brief, and if you’re unlucky maybe you won’t know what you’ve got to present on until you arrive at the interview. Even in the best scenario, where you have a bit of a brief, it can feel like you have very little control, like you don’t really know what they want and so you either get analysis paralysis or you decide to ‘wing it’. What I want to do in this show is to shift you away from these reactions, and show you a formula that you can apply to interview presentations.

| Supercharging Your Presence & Audience Connection with Brett Hill - 161 | 11 Mar 2021 | 01:10:40 | |
After graduating with a degree in interpersonal communication, Brett Hill ended up becoming a technology expert, before bringing the two strands of technology and communication together to create a distinguished and successful career as a technical speaker and storyteller. Alongside that career, Brett has spent many years studying and practicing mindfulness in many forms. He studied Hakomi, a mindfulness-based somatic psychology with founder Ron Kurtz and he also trained as a facilitator in Matrix Leadership group dynamics with founder Amina Knowlan, before establishing the Quest institute meditation center in Dallas. He credits much of his professional success in the corporate world to the skills and tools he picked up from the mindfulness world he also moved in. Eventually, the desire to share the many benefits of mindfulness with others, so that they could live a richer and more powerful life of intention and connection, led to the work he does today. I’m excited for you to discover some of those benefits from this interview. What you’ll learn:

| Can You Make Boring Subjects Sexy? - 160 | 04 Mar 2021 | 00:17:45 | |
Let’s face it… on the surface some topics look dryer than the Sahara Desert… and a lot of people will get blocked from sharing their message because they struggle to see how they can make it interesting. But I don’t believe there’s any subject that you can’t make engaging for an audience. So, if you’ve dreaded your turn to pitch at a networking meeting, or you’ve said “no” to speaking opportunities, or you’ve stopped yourself from doing a podcast, video or webinar because you think your subject is boring, then this is for you. In this episode, I’m going to show you that anything can be made sexy, and how to do it. What you’ll discover:

| Karmic Selling - How to Win Big and Feel Good with Stan Gwizdak - 281 | 18 Jan 2024 | 00:57:13 | |
Most of us have experienced sales ‘tactics’, and likely we’ve either recoiled against them and scarpered (physically or digitally), or have gone ahead with our needed purchase, even though a little bit of shine has worn off the relationship with the person that used them on us. Our experiences have made us sceptical of anyone with something to sell, and allergic to feeling ‘salesy’ ourselves. But whether we like it or not, we’re all in the business of selling something to someone, whether that’s ourselves as a speaker, our book to a reader, or our products and services to clients and customers. So … I guess that means you have to ‘suck it up’ and jump on the soft and hard sell bandwagon if you want to succeed. Well no … you don’t. That’s because there is another way that will likely yield you more reward in sales and personal satisfaction than anything you’ve come across before. And that new approach is called Karmic Selling created by my guest Stan Gwizdak. Stan Gwizdak is CEO of The Kormac Group, a results-driven management consulting firm that embodies his clean heart and commitment to serving others. As a chief executive and Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Stan has spent more than 30 years leading business transformations at General Electric, BAE Systems, Honeywell, Textron, Aurora Capital, Goodyear Tire and Rubber, and more. Stan is here today to talk about Karmic Selling and the successes and failures that helped him design his system and grow his company. Whether you’re a speaker, sales executive, entrepreneur, you’ll discover why when you do good, even more good will come your way.
