Why did you begin your podcast? It's a question that often goes unasked but is pivotal for your show's direction and success. Reflecting on your 'why' can clarify your goals and outcomes, leading to a more intentional and impactful podcasting journey. In this episode of Communication Connection Community, we guide you through the critical steps of identifying your core motivations, setting clear objectives, and planning essential aspects like format, time commitment, and budget. These foundational elements are crucial whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your show to the next level.

I share my own story of transitioning from my initial podcast, Speaking of Speaking, into this current platform, revealing how it has bolstered my expertise and facilitated meaningful conversations with vetted guests. These guests, who bring valuable insights into podcasting, communication, and leadership, are selected with care to ensure rich, engaging content. Take a moment to jot down your reasons for podcasting and consider how they've evolved. From aiming for growth to maintaining your course, having a clear 'why' is your compass for success. Tune in and join us as we explore the multifaceted world of podcasting, connecting with experts and community alike.

Emerging from my cocoon of shyness, I found my voice in the clatter and chaos of the food service world, a tale not unlike that of Catarina Rando, our episode's guiding star. Catarina's metamorphosis from a reserved cafe owner to a powerhouse in the realm of public speaking is a testament to the strength we harness when we truly connect and communicate with confidence. Throughout our conversation, she lays bare her convictions on creating relationships that prioritize rapport over revenue and imparts the audacious 'girlfriend strategy' for sales and networking, a refreshing take that envelopes you in its potential for business and personal growth.

We then set sail into the vibrant currents of live speaking and the unique challenges it presents without the crutch of PowerPoint slides, where Catarina and I share our proclivities for the tangible touch of flip charts that invite an audience's hands into the mix. Whether on the deck of a cruise ship or within the nurturing walls of a retreat center, we celebrate the collective breakthroughs that transpire when individuals come together to invest in their aspirations. 

Caterina Rando is on a mission to teach, mentor, and support women to be themselves, do their thing, serve their people and massively monetize their mastery. She shows women entrepreneurs how to be loud and proud about the value they bring in order to make their businesses thrive. Caterina is the founder of The Thriving Women in Business Giving Community. This group of big-hearted women, raise money for women and girls education and entrepreneurship training.

Money. We all need it. We all spend it. We all earn it in some capacity. What's our relationship like with money?  Moreover, how are your conversations about money and wealth? Our guest today has spent his entire life earning it and learning about it.  Jamie Madigan knows all too well when it comes to wealth and money, there's a certain kind of 'communication approach' you need to take, especially if you are at the end of the table where you can help people understand it and have it working better for them.

Jamie Madigan is a Certified Financial Planner® & creator of the Legacy Enjoyment Builder Program.  Professionals, families and business owners trust me to help them plan for all stages of life and protect what matters most to them – their family, business, health & wealth. In my 22 years of experience in financial services, I’ve realized that there’s an educational and communication gap when it comes to Canadians understanding what they should do with their finances and why.  To address this, I developed the Legacy Enjoyment Builder Program which provides clarity to Canadians on how they will achieve their goals and when they’ll be able to start enjoying their legacy.

Leadership is all about communication. How many leaders actually follow in their own footsteps?  How many leaders communicate effectively with their teams to accomplish the tasks at hand and the over all company goals?  As an executive coach Carl's guest today knows all too well what it takes to succeed as a leader and how quickly a leader can fail to rise to the top.  

Meet Gabriel Basque 
Due to his extremely goal oriented attitude Gabriel set himself personal goals of competing in fitness and power lifting competitions as a simple way to show that he CAN do it. His objective is to help you so that YOU CAN accomplish whatever goals you want to accomplish in life. Why? It’s simple. “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”

His professional background flourished with the largest fitness company in Canada. The combination of my positive and encouraging mental attitude and unique work ethic has helped him start his career with the nomination as the Top Personal Trainer in Canada. Gabriel's consistent drive for success continually ensured that he was acknowledged as a GoodLife Fitness Top 500 year after year.

Gabriel's exceptional passion is centrally structured around understanding and comprehending Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Discovering the power of EQ has been the key to  his success.
