This is the way. This is the medicine. 👏🏼 #OrganizationalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Top10Podcast #Top4Podcast #CoachingCulture #ProgressNotPerfection

None of what I teach comes from a pedestal. It's all been reverse engineered from my own journey. I found myself in a marriage that wasn't aligned, one I'd gotten into from a place of well, I should, this is the next step, this is where I'm supposed to be, instead of what was actually true for me. That process of untangling that and coming back to personal alignment is something I've lived through in building my business too, something Babe Mooney and I talked through together on this episode. What I've realized on the other side is that alignment is a forever journey. It's not a destination, it's a practice. But we step into our greatest power when we're connected to who we are and how we're uniquely wired to build. The more there's a lack of division between what's on the inside and what's on the outside, that's what's magnetic. That's what attracts. That's how you pull in the aligned audience, the aligned clients, and the people you're actually meant to work with and impact. Press play on the full episode of The Firestarter Podcast with Babe Mooney.  Pass this along to someone building a brand that doesn't feel like them.

Why are some speakers consistently booked, while equally capable experts remain the industry's best-kept secret? It's probably not what you think. In this episode of SPEAKPact, I got to talk to Host & CEO WPC Speakers Global Antoniette Roze (who is also my booking agent!) and unpack one of the most misunderstood assets in the speaking business. Hint: It's not in your bio. It’s what decision-makers notice before they meet you. Inside this conversation, we talk about: 》》 Why some experts are trusted before they even take the stage while others keep proving themselves. 》》 The subtle mistake that leaves brilliant speakers quickly forgotten after an event. 》》 The answer every decision-maker wants to know before hiring you. 》》 How one small shift in how you position your expertise dramatically changes how the market responds to you. Wonder why speakers with similar expertise seem to attract bigger stages, stronger referrals, and more repeat invitations? This episode answers a question you likely don't realise you should be asking. 🎙 Catch this episode and more prosperous speaking insights on #SPEAKPACT, YouTube, or your favourite podcast platform. https://lnkd.in/gEykug8R #PactToImpact #SpeakerBrand #SpeakerSuccess #Keynote #SpeakingBusiness

“Let your work speak for itself.” Sounds good in theory. But there’s a problem: What if nobody is listening? I just did a podcast interview about social proof and why great work alone isn’t good enough. People make decisions about you before they ever experience your work. They look at who you’ve worked with, what you’ve been recognized for, what others are saying about you, and the credibility signals surrounding your name. That doesn’t mean you need to brag about everything you’ve done. It means you need to make it visible. We got into this, along with how recognition, credibility, and social proof can influence opportunities, partnerships, and business. If you’re interested in chatting about recognition, awards, or what it means to build credibility in the social proof era. Drop a comment below or send me a message. I’m always up for talking about the stories, strategy, and business behind the recognition economy. #podcasts #awards #socialproof #podcastawards #recognitioneconomy

Before launching that brilliant idea, have you tested its resonance? This video dives into the power of 'proto-messaging' – essentially, road-testing your communication with your inner circle. Think of it as a quick, low-stakes focus group with your friends, family, and colleagues. Their honest feedback can be invaluable in spotting ambiguity and refining your message for maximum clarity and impact. Don't just assume your message lands; engineer it to land. #MuhamiMatters #Podcast #Messaging #Communication #MarketingTips #ProductLaunch

Are your event teams actually working toward the same goal—or are they just doing the same work in different directions? 👀 Most event teams aren't badly run. They're badly wired. In this episode of Event About It, Megan Martin of M Squared Dynamics sits down with Sarah Ann Straw for a live diagnostic of the decisions event professionals make every week—and what separates executor thinking from executive thinking. Because if you're heading into budget season with a number you can't defend, the problem might not be your budget. It might be the way your team is thinking about the business. What you'll learn from this podcast episode: 💡 How to tell whether you're operating like an executor or an executive 💡 What executives actually want to know about registration pacing 💡 Why a lead that sits for more than 24 hours can lose roughly a third of its conversion rate 💡 What happens when your production partner walks away six weeks before a 2,000-person sales kickoff 💡 Why "vendor" versus "partner" isn't just semantics—it's a budget decision If you're responsible for event strategy, budgets, operations, or proving the business value of events, this episode will probably make you question a few things. And that's the point. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙️✨ https://lnkd.in/gt95HUFZ #EventStrategy #EventROI #EventMarketing #EventProfs #EventAboutIt

I'm curious, when you hear "10-week podcast program," what do you actually picture? Because I have a feeling half of you are imagining a stack of pre-recorded videos you'll watch once, feel motivated for about a day, then never open again. So let's clear that up. Week 1 is mindset and foundation, before we touch a single thing else, we start with you. Week 2 is voice, story, why. Week 3 is strategy and positioning, working out what your show actually is and who it's for. Week 4 is content planning and guest strategy. Week 5 is tech and setup, mic, hosting, the boring bits made simple. Weeks 6 to 8 are what I call Hour of Power, dedicated recording sessions, one episode a week, so you leave every single session with something real in hand, not just notes. Week 9 is editing, production, show notes. Week 10 is launch, visibility, and celebration, because getting your podcast into the world deserves an actual celebration, not a quiet Tuesday. By the end, you've got a launched podcast, three episodes recorded, two scheduled, a content calendar, and a small group of women who did every bit of this alongside you. I've got 4 spots left. If you're ready to actually do the thing, not just plan it for the fourth time this year, send me a message with "TELL ME MORE!" #podcasting #unmuted #podcastcourse #womeninbusiness

🚨 Don’t buy the PR dream without asking questions.  Before choosing an agency, speak to multiple people. Find out how they see your brand, what opportunities they can realistically create, and whether your expectations actually align. If someone promises you the world in three months, bring them back down to Earth. Great PR starts with the right strategy, clear expectations and a strong fit. 🎯 🎧 Hear the full conversation on Point Zero One Podcast. #PointZeroOnePodcast #PublicRelations #PRStrategy #BrandBuilding #MarketingTips

🎙️New episode of the Elite Business Connector Podcast is out now. 🆕 Is Gen Z really worse at building in person connection, or is that just a lazy stereotype? I put that question to two 20 something sales professionals: Kole Buckley, my son, who works in student housing leasing, and Jackson Hannah, a longtime family friend in tech sales making 75 cold calls a day. Their answer surprised me. It's not that they can't connect. It's that they were never taught how, and they're figuring it out on their own through trial and error in the field. We broke down the exact tactics they use to build trust fast, including the "second question" that most people skip. What's your take? Is the "Gen Z can't connect" narrative true, outdated, or somewhere in between?

Here's where most people go wrong — they treat organising like a one-time event. A big weekend declutter, then done. Sabine says that's not how it works. An organised life is something you maintain every day, every week. If you had a busy day and couldn't put things away, you catch up tomorrow — you just can't leave it for a week. Without maintenance, decluttering becomes a burst of energy instead of a lasting habit. The cycle needs to be completed, every time. This is Sabine Straver, founder of The Essence of Clarity. 🎙️ Beyond Marketing Noise Podcast (BMN PODCAST)— where founders tell the real story behind the business, not the highlight reel. 🎥 Full episode out now — https://lnkd.in/gkvQ9T2S 🎤 Guest — Sabine Straver 🎥 Filmed at black vc — Canberra's home for founders who build with purpose. ✍️ Host — Bruhith Indiresh 🎬 A Barehand Production #BeyondMarketingNoise #FounderStory #ProfessionalOrganiser #Decluttering #Podcast
