| WALL52: The police officer who facilitates with flair feat. Suzanne Rose | 26 Dec 2022 | 00:39:41 | |
My guest is Suzanne Rose and she is a Sergeant of the Queensland Police Service, having joined in 1998. She was poached by a spotter in recent years, and landed the perfect role for her personality, running professional development workshops for police training facilitators. This includes her favourite signature three-day facilitation skills workshop - 'Facilitate with Flair'. We talk more about her Facilitate with Flair experience and how she navigates the mindset of "doing things differently" when working in an organisation which is hierarchical, and where things are done a certain way. Suzanne is a full-time working mum who lives in Brisbane on acreage in koala habitat, with her husband and their two young daughters, a Labrador, pet chicken, and an abundance of wallabies, possums, rainbow lorikeets and kookaburras around their property. She spends any spare time making fun memories with her girls, and can't wait to take them on adventures through far-away lands abroad where nothing is taken for granted.

| WALL40: Solving the Part-time Puzzle with Belinda Morgan | 03 Oct 2022 | 00:35:45 | |
How do we open that conversation around the benefits of working part-time in a world where hustle culture remains king in most lands?
Watch our conversation on YouTube!
The biggest assumption people have when it comes to part-time work in senior roles is that they cannot do it, and even if they can, they just shouldn’t. Overwork is being glorified and people think everyone should literally work hard, as if the whole place would fall apart if someone starts working part-time.
But today’s guest has seen it firsthand, how highly damaging it is to people’s well-being, productivity, and results when only the business’ profit is the one being prioritized. So in this episode, we hope you join us as we dive into the benefits of a work that’s both flexible and fulfilling, giving you autonomy and freedom while taking action on your purpose in life.
Belinda Morgan is the author of the book, “Solving the Part-time Puzzle: How to Decrease Your Hours, Increase Your Impact, and Thrive in Your Part-time Role”. She is a leadership and flexible work coach for professionals who know there is more to work and life but aren’t sure how to get the balance right.
It has always been important to Belinda to do interesting and meaningful work, and to do it with a degree of freedom. Her current goal is to help other leaders find their perfect combination of freedom and fulfillment, as she’s already seen and experienced it first hand how big of a positive difference it is when you find work that is both flexible and fulfilling.
In this conversation, you’ll hear Belinda discuss:

| WALL38: Host Your Own 2-Hour Cocktail Party with Nick Gray | 21 Sep 2022 | 00:41:40 | |
Who doesn’t love a good cocktail party? Watch our conversation on Youtube! I love going to events and meeting new people but gosh, sometimes I feel like I’m not even keeping up the great relationships with the amazing people I already know! Cue this book: The 2-Hour Cocktail Party by Nick Gray. After reading the first chapter, I set a date for my cocktail party and luckily, the day after, I debrief it in this conversation with the author of the book Nick Gray. Nick Gray moved to New York City with few friends and less-than-stellar social skills. But Nick craved new relationships and exciting opportunities. He started hosting non-traditional parties—a move that opened doors he could never have imagined. Today, after hosting hundreds of 2-hour parties, he counts business owners, artists, and inspiring teachers among a circle of friends that helped him launch a multi-million dollar company called Museum Hack. Featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, Nick has been called a host of "culturally significant parties" by New York Magazine. See his best-rated photos online at www.NickGray.net or @NickGrayNews on Instagram and Twitter, email him directly to hello@nickgray.net, or see his party tips on How to Host a Party: www.party.pro In this conversation, you'll hear Nick discuss:

| WALL36: Building a Distinct, Durable and Differentiated Business with Stephen Shapiro | 07 Sep 2022 | 00:35:19 | |
What is the purpose of your organization? Why does it exist? Watch our conversation on YouTube! Stephen Shapiro cultivates innovation by showing leaders and their teams how to approach, tackle, and solve their business challenges. The first innovation opportunity Stephen spotted was the opportunity to innovate within his own life. He left Accenture after publishing his first book, “24/7 Innovation”, to become a full-time innovation speaker and advisor to clients around the world. Stephen continues to work with transforming businesses to improve innovation practices through customized keynotes, speeches, advisory engagements, and other services. He has a degree from Cornell University in Industrial Engineering and is based out of Orlando, Florida. Back in 2020, the mid-pandemic, Stephen really helped me figure out what to do next with my business. I heard him chat with Jenny Blake on the Pivot Podcast and he talked about innovation as staying relevant. I think with all the constant changes in our world, it’s so important to consider how you can and your business remain relevant, and that is through the process of innovation. Tune in as Stephen dives into the details today. In this conversation, you’ll hear Stephen discuss:

| WALL34: Describing and Defining Company Culture with Shane Hatton | 22 Aug 2022 | 00:34:28 | |
What does it mean to truly have the character of a leader? Is culture really something we can influence in an organization? Watch our conversation on YouTube! We all have that experience wherein we’ve been on the receiving end of connecting with someone who didn’t really value the conversation that we’re having. That’s the most devaluing feeling, just as our guest today says. So join us in this episode as he shares what he’s learned upon writing a book about culture, on why being present is important for a remarkable leader, and how he lives his life as a charismatic introvert. Shane Hatton is an author, trainer, coach, and speaker who is passionate about developing remarkable leaders and cultures. He works with organizations to close the leadership gap between mid and senior level leaders. Aside from being the author of the books “Let’s Talk Culture – The Conversations You Need to Create the Team You Want” and “Lead The Room – Communicate a Message That Counts in Moments That Matter”, Shane is also a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, a member of the Forbes Global Coaches Council, and is the Founder of the People Leaders Network.
I met Shane on the Clubhouse app, where we had various conversations around various topics, but it was when I attended his book launch earlier this year in Sydney that we finally got to meet in real life.
In this conversation, you’ll hear Shane discuss:

| WALL50: Life is to be Enjoyed, Not Endured: A Leadership Conversation with Clifford Morgan | 12 Dec 2022 | 00:41:46 | |
Good leaders are made; they are not born. What does it take to be one?
Watch our conversation on YouTube!
Leadership is a very critical role in any organization, and oftentimes the success or failure of one depends largely on the kind of leadership that it has. This is why it is essential that leaders in the modern marketplace be equipped with good and effective coaching skills to develop people and lead more effectively.
The popular rhetoric related to coaching tries to teach leaders to be executive coaches; in contrast to that, our guest today believes that coaching is an essential skill that you can bring in handy at any given time.
Clifford Morgan promotes enhanced leadership by teaching leaders essential coaching skills that will help them develop their people every single day and therefore become more effective as leaders.
He is an organizational psychologist and leadership expert who served for more than fifteen years in the Royal Australian Air Force. As a coach, Clifford has worked with CEOs, Military Officers, Government Executives, and business and community leaders across a wide variety of industries. Earlier his month, he published his newest book “The Coaching Leader”.
I met Clifford in Brisbane, but I really didn’t have an idea about his backstory until I have read it in his book. But today, he’ll share that story with us as well as some few snippets of what his new book, “The Coaching Leader”, contains.
A lot of community and business leaders out there really has huge potentials. If they could have the right training to acquire the proper coaching skill set that they need, they could unlock their full potential and become even more effective in their organizations. Tune in as Clifford dives into the details today.
In this conversation, you’ll hear Clifford discuss:

Join us today as we learn how to cultivate serendipity so we can live life while creating impact and value day by day. Watch our conversation on YouTube! Today, we’re joined by Dr. Christian Busch, the author of the book “The Serendipity Mindset: The Art and Science of Creating Good Luck”. He’s the Director of Global Economy Program at New York University’s Center for Global Affairs where he teaches on purpose-driven leadership, impact, entrepreneurship, innovation, and emerging markets.

| WALL30: Are you a Thought Breeder or a Thought Bleeder? | 01 Aug 2022 | 00:12:03 | |
There's so much content available, but what are we actually doing with it? Today's episode is created for you, but it's also an important reminder for me. I'm addicted to listening, reading and learning new things, it's like an endless search for a silver bullet. How though, do we absorbing information and all of this cool stuff that’s online take action on it? and actually taking action on it. How do we draw that line between I'm consuming all this information, but what am I actually doing with it? We are bombarded every single day by webinars to join, new books to read, new podcast episodes to listen to, new conference to attend. It’s inspiring! It can also get dangerous when we confuse consuming with creating - that’s when consumption can stall your progress. That's what I'm exploring today, using the power of a two-by-two matrix. Right now, where are you on this matrix: A Thought Breeder, a Thought Bleeder, a Thought Leader, or a Thought Reader? Let me know! I'd love to see you in California in Feb 2023!

| WALL 27: Getting Unstuck and Driving Sustainable Ambition in your Work and Life with Kathy Oneto | 13 Jul 2022 | 00:33:31 | |
On last week’s episode of Two by Tuesday, we talked about the 2x2 matrix of competence and joy with regards to our work. The top left of that box – the trap quadrant – says a lot about us, being highly competent in something, but that something doesn’t give us the joy that we need in life. Watch our conversation on YouTube! What are your ambitions in life? More often than not, when we reach our 40s, we start to go through this transition wherein our ambitions change. Some find it hard to navigate this, given that the culture of our workplace doesn’t change as we are, but to cut the dissatisfaction, we need to embrace the change that’s happening within. But the question is how? How do we allow ourselves to fully step into life and work in the way that we want while also sustaining ourselves in the long run? Kathy Oneto is an executive and leadership coach, a career strategist, and a strategy and marketing professional. She hosts the podcast called Sustainable Ambition. Also, she is the founder and chief strategist at The Agency Oneto.

| WALL24: You Don’t Need to Have a Purpose: A Conversation about Belonging with Owen Eastwood | 27 Jun 2022 | 00:40:53 | |
In this episode, I'm joyfully bringing you a conversation with the author of the book “Belonging: The Ancient Code of Togetherness”, Owen Eastwood. Watch our conversation on YouTube! Have you been in work situations where you might have started in a company and you just didn’t feel like you belonged, which then led to a lot of stress and tension? Join us as we learn how to create a sense of belonging with the Belonging author, Owen Eastwood. Owen draws on his own Maori ancestry and weaves together insights from our evolutionary story and our collective wisdom as he helps people create a sense of belonging, especially in workplaces. Owen shines a light on where these powerful ideas are applied around the world in high performing settings, encompassing sports, business, the arts, and military. In this conversation, you’ll hear Owen and I discuss:

| WALL23: How to recall quotes, stories and examples in the moment (not in the shower later that evening): Two by Tuesday | 20 Jun 2022 | 00:13:27 | |
Something I've deliberately tried to improve over the last couple of years is improving my ability to connect quotes, stories and examples in the moment. It started when I was hosting my first podcast, and wanted to connect my guest's responses with something they had said earlier, or with something relating to their career, or to push the conversation in a new direction. It's a handy skill when you facilitate workshops as well - having that ability to connect participants' responses to the content, or with what someone else said earlier that day. In this week's Two by Tuesday, I share four ways I've improved at this skill but believe me, I can do better! How do you recall information in the moment?

| WALL 22: "No Risk, No Reward" with Tongan Flag Bearer, Pita Taufatofua | 15 Jun 2022 | 01:10:06 | |
All of us here have our own dreams that we want to pursue, but due to the fear that’s holding us back, most of the time, we don’t really put an effort into moving. That’s why in today’s episode, I’ve invited someone who’s gone from being a nobody to becoming bigger and better. Join me as I interview the ‘shirtless’ flag bearer. Watch our conversation on YouTube! How do you live and succeed in a life that is centered on doing things that you truly love? Most people start their goals so high that they immediately fall into darkness when things don’t turn out fine. There are people who are too afraid to take action because of the limiting belief they have inside. Some people tend to give up when things get ‘too’ hard. But remember, each day is a reset, and every day, you’re given the blessing to try again. Your conviction is your armor. Wear it and fight your demons. Pita Taufatofua is a Tongan athlete in taekwondo and cross-country skiing. He has represented these sports three times across summer and winter Olympics. He is the founder of TongaStrong, and has a passion in helping provide opportunities for the youth of the Pacific. He is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for the Pacific, and is a Team Samsung Galaxy athlete who lives in Brisbane Australia. Pita and I met back in high school. I love how he is a person who is just so funny and intelligent, but is also so giving and down-to-earth at the same time. It’s just amazing to see the level of growth and influence that he has had just since we’re leaving high school.

| WALL20: Live Life Like You’re Flying with Ryan Soh | 30 May 2022 | 00:33:54 | |
As we focus on travel tips for this month’s episodes, I’ve decided to invite someone whose life revolves around traveling the world and exploring its wonders. Today’s guest will share his story on how he’s able to work and live large as he breathes the beauty of the places he goes to. Watch our conversation on YouTube! Living your day-to-day in a country where there’s nothing else to do but to work every minute, I bet that your heart will shout to be freed, for that isn’t the life you want to live. There’ll always be this calling for traveling, for going to places and falling in love with it as a whole, ‘till you realize that it’s time for you to move forward and go to where your heart leads. But the question is how do we really follow that voice in our head and leave the life we’ve lived for years? The corporate world and all its madness was a life he wanted to escape from, and so, he did. Join us in this episode and learn from his story. Even when he felt desperate to escape the rat race as he migrated to Australia in 2013, Ryan Soh – originally from Singapore – considers this as the best decision he’s ever made. It’s how his journey to travel the world began. It’s how he was able to fly, eat, and stay as he forgets the worries of life. As a firm believer in “journey, not the destination”, Ryan explores the world to create videos, talking about detailed planes, trains, food, and hotel reviews. Through his YouTube channel, Ryan So Fly, Ryan helps you see the world through his eyes. I discovered what Ryan does through the Frequent Flyers Australia FB Group. I usually just read stuff and hit like when I visit every day, but when I saw Ryan’s post, I immediately subscribed to his YouTube channel as I really loved watching his travel vlogs. I love how he has embraced a sense of truth and freshness in his footage while providing great detail about the places that he visits.

After being stuck in our homes due to the sudden hit of the pandemic, people are now traveling as much as they could, wanting to celebrate that they’re now able to take in outdoor air. And yes, even I have been traveling a lot these days. It’s now time for my #revengetravel! Going to places brings me a lot of joy. Flying to explore the world is one of the things I breathe for.

| WALL17: What tool should you use to ramp up the engagement in your virtual meeting (Two by Tuesday) | 09 May 2022 | 00:13:21 | |
In today's Two by Tuesday I answer a question I get a lot: What virtual tool could I use to ramp up the engagement in my virtual event? Watch this episode's walk-through video on YouTube. Firstly - purpose we know is the most critical element. That aside, what else is important to consider? In this episode I think two key considerations are your group size and accessibility requirements. What I find is often: The simpler, the better/ Don't go too crazy. Don't think you need to ham up your workshops with all these tech tools, just because you want to impress people, it really has to connect to that purpose. Let me know in the comments: What your favourite tech tool is for your virtual events?

| WALL16: Transforming New Customers into Loyal Champions with Donna Weber | 04 May 2022 | 00:39:32 | |
As ironic as it is, there are still companies nowadays that are so focused on getting new clients while overlooking why onboarding is a must in business. In today’s episode, my guest discusses the power onboarding holds in converting your customers to life-long clients as she gives a peak on the six-step process she goes by as she dives into practice. Watch our conversation on YouTube! Today, I invited a good friend to educate us about the importance of having people understand what they’ve purchased and in what sense it would help them, as well as your business. I met Donna in February when I flew all the way to Las Vegas to attend a workshop run by Alan Weiss. Back then, Donna came over to introduce herself, but I recognized her first by her voice and not her face. I’ve been listening to her book Onboarding Matters on Audible! Getting to know Donna and being able to spend days with her in Las Vegas was undoubtedly a fantastic experience. In this conversation, you'll hear Donna discuss:

| WALL15: Starting the Day with a Question and Ending with a Solution with Rajendra Zore | 27 Apr 2022 | 00:45:18 | |
I’ve heard many inspiring stories of people succeeding in life after hitting the rock bottom, not minding how hard it’s going to be, knowing that there is no other way but up. My guest today shares a motivational story of how giving back, working with what he has available, and thinking about how he can do better every day, helped him succeed, get back on his feet, and Work and Live Large. Watch our conversation on YouTube! Rajendra considers himself an accidental entrepreneur who went on creating tech ventures and now proudly walks as a Serial Entrepreneur. He has been building businesses from scratch since 2012 and to date has founded & closely affiliated with three separate successful tech startups – all of which serve a global market. For the better part of his entrepreneurial journey, Raj has been doing most of the things alone. That is where this whole idea of exploring the new buzzword ‘Solopreneurship’ came into mind. To explore the solopreneurship, he started Host My Blog in 2015 & served hundreds of bloggers with various technical services. He has since been enjoying his role as a WordPress Consultant. In 2019, there was a WordPress event in Brisbane with several streams of speakers, I had major FOMO when my brother Randall went to a stream that I wasn't in. He told me I should've gone to the room where he was in after the breakout address concluded. I dashed to see if I could meet the speaker, who happened to be Rajendra. We spoke for a few minutes, and I've been following him on Twitter since that moment. In this conversation, you'll hear Rajendra discuss:

| WALL 13: Not finding work fulfilling? You can change that with Dr. Maike Neuhaus | 18 Apr 2022 | 00:39:25 | |
I’ve heard of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and didn’t realise there was a third type of motivation until today’s conversation! In order to be completely mentally healthy, we need a lot more. And basically what we need is something called flourishing. Let’s learn more about it and understand what it means to flourish and thrive so in return, we can live valuable, meaningful lives. We all have the potential to flourish, listen in to hear how. Dr. Maike Neuhaus a self-proclaimed self-leadership and flourishing fanatic. From a young age, she has been fascinated with the fact that some people seem to thrive in life, while others get in their own way. I met Dr. Maike when we both attended a Team Management Systems (TMS) accreditation program. She walked into class with a leather jacket, a motorbike helmet, and was questioning study validity, and I was like, “Who is this cool person?” We kept in touch over email, Maike and her family moved to Europe but since she’s been back, we’ve been having conversations, like we had today, in person, in cool places, and it’s one of my favorite things to do. In this conversation, you'll hear Dr. Maike discuss:

| WALL48: Don’t walk, RUN (and why tradies make the best leaders) with Tim Guinea | 28 Nov 2022 | 00:59:06 | |
How do we become the effective leader that this world truly needs? What traits do we have to embody in order to pave the way toward positive change? Putting ourselves on the receiving end of our own actions helps us rethink the way we’re doing things. We got to be able to take a risk, and not be afraid of it. As our guest today says, if you believe you can do the job, knock your socks off and go for it! Today’s guest is all-round legend Tim Guinea. He is a family man and the Founder and Managing Director of Autonomy & Asset Management Group. With more than 15 years’ experience across the mining and resources industry, he is an experienced professional with specialist knowledge across all areas of Asset Management. Tim has worked for, and with, world class mining houses and service providers including Anglo American, Fortescue, Downer EDI and Thiess, starting his career as a Drill Fitter in exploration, to leading teams of professionals to deliver world class outcomes safely, efficiently and on-time across multiple states. He is known for his leadership style and operational expertise, which has seen him improve culture and ultimately the business' performance. Outside of business, Tim loves to spend quality time with his family and has 3 children, soon to be 4 early next year. He loves all things outdoors, especially sport, and since retiring from Rugby League has found a passion in Triathlons. I met Tim when I was still working at my old company, Thiess; however, I didn’t know about his upbringing on a farm, especially on how that dramatically impacted his work ethic and attitude. So tune in and grab your pen, folks, for in this episode, it’ll all make sense. In this conversation, you’ll hear Tim discuss:

The Fiji Test: If you, or any of your team members were to get whisked off to a three-week surprise vacation, with no devices and no ability to give notice, could the rest of the team seamlessly step in and take over the role? To celebrate the release of Jenny Blake's new book, Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business, I've dedicated this Two by Tuesday to mapping out what the Free Time process looks like, based on two elements (Time vs Reward)... yes, I sneakily borrowed the idea from the famous Effort: Reward ratio!

In my Booked Out Facilitator framework, I talk about three key things: Your content, your connection and your craft. However, to answer this question, I believe you have to be great at both the Craft (What you do) and your Content (How you share your ideas).

| WALL46: How to be Yourself and Professional at the Same Time with Mel Kettle | 14 Nov 2022 | 00:37:43 | |
When is it okay for us to call it quits and stop pushing through? How can we embody the real essence of professionalism as we set the boundaries we need as we live?
Watch our conversation on YouTube!
Have you ever sacrificed your precious “me time” to do work for your clients and/or attend a meeting for a job you don’t really love?
More often than not, we tend to say yes to literally everything as we dive into the depths of doing business. Just because we fear what might happen if we refuse, we even sometimes end up losing ourselves.
But as people say, there’s always a time for us to push through and for us to fail fast. It’s of utmost importance that we work on being self-aware so we can work and live large, especially around the things that are really important to us. After all, being a professional isn’t limited to being dressed like a professional. You can still reach great heights, wearing just a simple shirt and pants, as long as you’re in alignment with what you truly want in life.
Mel Kettle is an internationally recognized thought leader on fully connected leaderships and communication. Her clients include leaders, teams, and organizations that want to achieve real connection and sustained engagement.
She is the host of the “This Connected Life” podcast and the author of two books, “The Social Association” published in 2018, and “Fully Connected: Focusing on how great leaders prioritize themselves, reclaim their energy, and find joy”.
Mel is a good friend of mine; I was at her book launch recently in Brisbane, and it was such a great and beautiful night, hearing her talk about boundaries and other related things. I am certain that this episode will be a value-rich experiment between the thoughts we have in mind, so make sure to sit back and relax as we learn more from the ever-so-receptive Mel.
In this conversation, you’ll hear Mel discuss:

| WALL44: Why You Must Read Becoming Myself by Irvin D Yalom | 31 Oct 2022 | 00:17:35 | |
It is just so amazing, having read a book that’s written in such a beautiful and easy way, that it has made me want to end my day early so I can spend time in bed, reading it page by page. Recently, I’ve purchased Irvin D. Yalom’s book “Becoming Myself: A Psychiatrist’s Memoir” after hearing about it from a friend. It’s such a book rich in value where he shared his reflections on life and development. As I read, these then led me to think as well, reflecting on the origin of my own self and the meaning of the life I’ve been living. Not only is this of great help to us as human beings, but also, there’s a lot to learn if you’re working in a group setting. From existentialism to isolation, meaninglessness, mortality, and freedom, Irvin has got it all covered, resulting in this masterpiece. So I hope you join me today, even though this episode is completely new and unique. Because here is where I’ll speak to share how this book helped me see life from a better perspective, mirroring my work and live large statement. In this conversation, you’ll hear me discuss:
