🐧 𝐈 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧... The potential client was great, the money was superb, but the request jarred with my ethos and methodology to fully build people's confidence when it comes to using their voice; public speaking, presenting, asking a question in a meeting, pitching, anything which currently fills them with dread when it comes to using their voice. I was asked to record each person and get them to do a presentation to the group at the end of the workshop - it wasn't for media training or anything formal, and it flew in-the-face of ending my workshop on a high and giving people the ability to prepare and feel ready to take on their public speaking challenge. I wasn't comfortable with people watching themselves back on camera when that didn't mimic the real life scenario. This method of training has it's brilliant place for to-camera public speaking training, but not for live presentations or team meetings, or general confidence building IMO. We all criticise ourselves so much, so we don't need to watch the "ums and ers" back, or hate how we sound and look when our confidence is already shot. I also prefer recording to be kept individual rather than team-wide. This was my first "no" for the Chatty Penguin Academy. I wobbled about it, but decided it was for the right reasons. I am doing these confidence workshops and my online course to build people's confidence up using the ways I know how and what has worked for myself and others, I didn't want to compromise on that. Integrity is one of my values, so is empathy. My values feel at conflict with commercials at times, but it's super healthy in business that different people require different services and objectives and there isn't a one size fits all. I am grateful to have these opportunities and excited to help people where I can and respectfully bow out where I can't. Just sharing for any other freelancers/consultants who are trying hard to drum up great business but also navigating the right business, the balance is real.

From the quiet focus of a clinical setting to the fast-paced world of corporate, and finally, the independent hustle of freelancing, I've experienced a diverse range of professional landscapes. While these roles might seem poles apart, there's one thing they all have in common: the SOW. What's that you ask? You know, that detailed document outlining what you're supposed to do? Yeah, that one. It’s often overlooked, but trust me, it's the secret boss of every project. More than just a contract, it shapes everything from your workload to your paycheck. Let's talk about it. How has the SOW impacted your professional life? Share your experiences in the comments below! In my next post, I'll share some real-life examples of SOW gone wrong (and right).” #SOW #freelancelife #corporatelife #clinicallife #projectmanagement #worklife #professionaldevelopment #letsdiscuss #shareyourexperience

2 out of 3 freelancers struggle to reduce their working hours. 🎁 Here’s how you can change that. ⏳ Stop trading time for money You can achieve this in two key areas: ✅ Your offer ✅ Your business model 🎯 Get clear on your why It’s not just about reducing work hours—what will you do with that extra time? ❓ What truly matters to you? ❓ Where do you want to invest your time? ❓ What deserves your energy? 🥇 Make it a priority If it’s just a vague desire, nothing will change. To make it a reality, your daily actions need to align with your goals. The start of a new season is the perfect time for a fresh approach. 🎁 That’s why I’m offering 2 freelancers who want to reclaim their time a free week of coaching. 👉 If you’re ready to build a system that works for you, apply through the link in my bio.

Most brands tend to overlook the onboarding process for freelancers, and instead assume that their skills alone are sufficient. 😶 Eric Doty, the Content Lead at Dock, challenges this, and for good reason! 📣 In this episode of #ContentInTheKitchen, Eric shared why you need to invest time in properly onboarding freelancers as if they were a new member of the team.

I’ve shared my Commercial Empathy model lots! It rocks! Just had a question sent to me asking my opinion. Similarly to a post yesterday by Andy Kaye commenting on consulting with no expectation of remuneration! My time and my experience, vast array of experience qualifications and approach to imparting that onto the next person - be that in a classroom, 121, board room etc - comes at a price. Otherwise I’d be in B&Q and taking things from the shelf with zero intention of paying for it - really?! The email has been filed and when my separate email commenting on my fees and reciprocated business commitment is answered - I’ll respond and then invoice. I’ve used Commercial Empathy (CE), primarily, to manage change cultures. Todays freebie is when you use your freelance associate / consultants. Spare a CE thought for their time and expertise. The premium you pay is the benefit of their words and wisdom. Commercial Empathy rocks! But question how much you have! Coffee time and then gym. Have a good day😎 #wjhconsultancy #commercialempathy

A person’s mindset is powerful, and it is the difference between a freelancer and a businessperson. How you perceive yourself and present yourself determines your position in the professional world. In turn, your position dictates what you can charge for your services. This webinar will assist you in determining your ideal clients and how to associate with them. https://lnkd.in/egEb4yjj
