Speaker Friends: Today is Professional Speakers Day which is celebrated 🌎 globally. It got me thinking about the variety of speaking opportunities as well as reasons that we love speaking. Starting with.........What kind of stage do you prefer? Big international stages, local company stages, conference stages, podcast stages, Zoom stages, and everything in between. What do YOU prefer? And a second question.............WHY do you speak? For me, I like the LISTENING part of speaking. For every speaking engagement, I listen and learn from my client. This is how I can personalize each talk. What about you? #PSCD2024 #proudtospeak #professionalspeakerscelebrationday #GlobalSpeakers #globalspeakersfederation

Our minds are so much more powerful - and vulnerable - than we assume they are….. and if you as the storyteller know how to influence the decision making process, you hold the keys to the kingdom. Thanks for letting me share these ideas on the podcast, Narativ!

💡 An epically good idea I heard Tim Ferriss share on his podcast with Noah Kagan He talked about hosting a high ticket event As part of it he asked all 100 guests to share a • Brag • Ask - what they need • Give - how they can help The idea was if you could help with their ask - do it Or needed their give - ask them 💪 It's great on so many levels 1) It'll help people get to know and connect with other people at the event making the event more fun 🎉 2) People bond even further as they help each other 3) The positive energy must be off the chart as people are helping each other It's a genius idea 🧠 #AshleysIdeas

**Trying the Two-Word Check-In 💬** I recently heard Brené Brown discuss a two-word check-in on Simon Sinek’s ‘A Bit of Optimism’ podcast (https://lnkd.in/eVbaB78G). The idea is to ask team members to describe how they’re feeling using just two words. I’m going to give it a try with my team. Why I like it: - **Quick Insight:** Helps me understand the team’s emotional state. - **Fosters Connection:** Builds empathy and understanding. - **Follow-Up:** No immediate responses needed, but allows me to follow up individually if more care is needed. The suggested question to ask was ‘What does great support from me look like today’ Has anyone else tried this? I’d love to hear your experiences and tips! #Leadership #TeamBuilding #EmotionalIntelligence #SimonSinek #BrenéBrown

Trying to stay on top of your emails when you're in a leadership role can feel like an impossible task. Come back from a meeting and your inbox has mushroomed Go on holiday and you choose between checking in to stop them mounting up too wildly, or spending the first day back reading threads where inappropriate use of the 'reply to all' button means you struggle to find the ones that actually need your attention Or maybe that was just me 🤣 Either way, this week's podcast topic is how to make some simple changes that can have a big impact on making emails more manageable https://postly.click/lEp/
