David Deighton Bio

I am told that my work is unusual and urgent. I'll explain, first my background: I am an artist, educator, father, world traveller and entrepreneur working on transformational experiences using abstract art. My background as an art dealer and creator of a successful art business allowed me to invest back into community and country. I use art to do this. I am about engaging strangers in the spirit on connection, and I do this in innovative ways. I'm focused on the taboo subject of politics, but that word can be exchanged for a multitude of taboo subjects.

I do NOT talk politics rather it's about tools to heal community, bridge divides, transform and explore artistic expression. For the last 6 years I have been actively engaging with strangers in public spaces, asking them to talk to their political opponents, listen to them and find commonalities. So far all has gone well without confrontation. How do I do this? I set up art installations in free speech areas where I share communication techniques with the public to use in engaging with strangers.

Thousands of visitors have discovered my work in unlikely venues such as National Parks or even a mountain top. I'm happy to share what I have discovered and also share stories from my encounters, my multiple travels around the World or offer insights into humanity. All these experiments have been profoundly transformative.

Listeners will discover meaningful ways to change our course away from division and hatred to a healthier exchange that benefits them and those around them.

As one of Australia’s top Speed Painters, she has lived and breathed the dynamic process of transformation for over 20 years, turning blank walls and cavasses into thought-provoking pieces of art, with limited time and often in front of a live audience.

After graduating from Converse College in 2003 with a BFA in Studio Art, Rowan started an art business in Greenville, South Carolina, USA before moving to Sydney to expand her horizons. It was here that she used the process of creative futurism to overcome depression, challenge chronic illness and create a new future for herself and her family.

Rowan’s strong emotional storytelling, along with her ability to paint fast and think fast has captivated hundreds of clients like Nestlé, ANZ, AMP, Ernst & Young, Woolworths, Sydney Airport, and Priceline.

One of the businesses he was selling advised him late in the settlement period that they didn't want to take on the 15 VAs he employed. So, not wanting these 15 long-standing employees to be unemployed, within 4 days he reshaped everything to start a new company called the Transformational Hub that went on to grow into 9 global companies, located in 3 countries, serving clients globally including a Highlevel agency that he started in 2019.

Kel is always saying, “I love to empower entrepreneurial growth that doesn't lead to breakdown or burnout but instead to create freedom”

Luke Evans Bio

After nearly 20 years working for some of the world’s most loved brands, I’ve come to believe that resilience is not built in our biggest moments. It’s built in the quiet, ordinary ones that shape how we show up every day.

Across my life and work, one pattern has stayed consistent, especially amongst high achievers. When we’re under pressure, we work harder. Try more. Push through. But without understanding what’s actually driving the challenge, at the level of belief and biology, that effort creates a disconnect. Over time, it shows up as burnout, disengagement, and corporate values nobody really believes in.

I’m a resilience coach and facilitator, and Founder of Emotive Work. My work has taken me through leadership and advisory roles, building businesses, living and working internationally, and supporting leaders and teams through periods of change and uncertainty. Along the way, I’ve seen what happens when capable people are expected to cope without the tools, language, or systems to support them.

That experience shaped my purpose. Helping individuals and organizations understand that culture is behaviour repeated, resilience is biology before behaviour, and belief is what makes purpose work. When those layers are aligned, people don’t just perform better. They feel better, and the work becomes more sustainable for everyone.

Today, I work with leaders and teams to build resilient, purpose-led cultures grounded in how humans actually function. Not through quick fixes or wellbeing initiatives, but through everyday practices that support regulation, connection, and accountability.

Because real change doesn’t come from big ideas alone. It comes from small, repeatable moments, done well, over time.

If you’re noticing your people are struggling more than they should, or your culture isn’t helping you grow, the work starts here.

Allan Kelly Bio

Welcome to Allan Kelly’s home on the internet. Home to Allan and his company, Software Strategy Ltd. Let him take up the story:

Once upon a time I was a programmer, people I worked with thought I was quite a good one. I was part of a team building a hand-held PC, which was a big deal in 1991. I worked on electricity modelling, I wrote programs for railway timetables, software for banks and real-time data feeds for Reuters. I built secure e-mail systems and mobile phone network diagnostic tools.

The code was not the problem, the problem was the way the team was set up, the problem was the way we were asked to work, or the way work reached us. To fix that problem I needed to become a manager… but I didn’t want to be a foolish manager like all the ones I’d worked for before, so I got myself a management qualification. And while I was getting that qualification, I discovered that modern management thinking was very close to the then newly emerging field of “agile software development.” When I look back at my experiences so much of the good times matched the thing, we call agile.

I still love software, I love coding, but I don’t code any more. (Actually, I do code a little, for love.) I devote my time to helping make software better. In my mind when I’m teaching, advising, coaching, consulting I’m helping the person I used to be. When I see programmers at work I see my younger self. And I want them to do a great job, I want them to be able to do a better job than I ever did.

Today I call myself an Agile Guide – I guide people and organizations to greater agility. I provide coaching and direct advice on agile working to leaders and teams creating digital products (software!). The companies I work with come from many fields as different as healthcare and surveying. However, they all depend on software to deliver for their customers. Without software they are nothing. Yesterday… I started coding in 1982 on a Sinclair ZX81. By 1986 I was earning money as a regular contributor to BBC Telesoftware – PDP, PDR, Eclipse, Fonts, Demon’s Tomb, EMACS (no, not that emacs), Snapshot and Femcoms to name a few, mostly in 6502 assembler. In 1989 I was a system administrator with Nixdorf Computer. In 1991 I was a software tester at DIP in Guildford building the Sharp PC-3000. Even as an undergraduate I was hired by the University to help teach other undergraduates and occasionally post-graduates.

Eden Lovejoy Bio

Eden Lovejoy has reimagined the dynamics of business management for today's evolving workplace. She understands that employees don't want to be "managed"; they seek environments where their contributions are valued, impactful, and rewarding. Through her Virtual GM Matrix, Eden has created a system that shifts the managerial model from top-down to team-driven. This approach encourages employees to take meaningful roles in the company’s success, fostering ownership, accountability, and continuous feedback. In a business world where standard operating procedures and rigid directives often fall flat, Eden's method offers a fresh perspective. She teaches leaders how to delegate effectively and create a feedback-rich environment that inspires productivity and innovation. Eden’s mission is to empower business owners to attract passionate, mission-aligned team members and establish a framework that emphasizes accountability and results. With the Virtual GM Matrix, she’s paving the way for leaders to build businesses where both the team and the vision can thrive.

Eden Lovejoy is transforming how businesses are managed with her innovative Virtual GM Matrix. Traditional management has often meant either hiring a dedicated manager or shouldering the responsibilities yourself, but the Virtual GM Matrix offers a third option—a comprehensive system that enables your team to step into the role of general management. This approach lets you focus on strategic leadership, while your team takes ownership, fosters engagement, and develops accountability loops, ensuring you're connected to daily operations without getting bogged down. Eden helps leaders move beyond working on their business and teaches them the power of working with their business to cultivate a collaborative, impactful, and energizing workplace culture.

In the middle of COVID, Kat and her husband packed up their lives and moved to Mexico. She continues to share her inspiring message as a speaker, podcast host, and an author. Her new book, From Doubt to Do: Navigating Your Pathway to Possibility is for anyone facing a significant transition who has doubts about what else is possible in the next chapter of their life. It’s for anyone who wants to dream big, live boldly, and create a fulfilling life they will love. Kat is passionate about helping people move toward the future just waiting for them to say “Hell, YES!” to new possibilities.

Michael Reddington Bio

Michael Reddington is a Certified Forensic Interviewer, executive resource, President of InQuasive, Inc. and the author of The Disciplined Listening Method. As a Certified Forensic Interviewer, he achieved the highest professional designation available in the field of

interview and interrogation. Michael spent over a decade training investigators around the world on the successful application of non-confrontational interview and interrogation

techniques, earning the Outstanding Contribution Award from Homeland Security along the way. Michael transitioned from educating investigators to educating executives after his research and experience unlocked two key realizations. First, the best leaders and interrogators capitalize on the same two core skills - vision and influence. Second, the cognitive processes that lead customers to commit to saying, "I'll buy it", employees to commit to saying "I'll do it" and suspects to commit to truthfully saying "I did it" are all nearly identical. These realizations drove Michael to develop the Disciplined Listening Method by integrating current business communication research and best practices with the most successful non-confrontational interview and interrogation techniques. The resulting educational content represents a new and in-depth approach to applying strategic, ethical observation and persuasion techniques across the spectrum of business conversations.

Michael has been invited by companies, government agencies and executive groups to facilitate his programs across the United States, Canada, The United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. He has led over 1,500 programs and educated over 15,000 participants from over 50 countries.

He teaches participants to activate the truth in the areas of leadership communication, sales, negotiation, conflict resolution, customer service, candidate interviews, family conversations and influential instruction. CEO’s, executive teams, sales leaders, and Human Resources leaders all rely on Michael to teach them the skills, techniques and perspectives necessary to encourage people to share sensitive information, under vulnerable circumstances, and in the face of consequences...

I am one of the very few sustainability consultants who has over 20 years' experience including working for billion-dollar multinational companies. I am now on a mission to help others and support businesses to become a force for good whilst also being profitable. Below is my book preface on "Why I Wrote How to Build Sustainability into Your Business Strategy." Many individuals can go through their entire professional career without discovering their true purpose. After years of working, they may reflect on their accomplishments and question if it was all worthwhile. Did their work solely focus on increasing profits for their company by selling more products or services?

What if they had found a way to leverage their expertise and knowledge to benefit society and the environment earlier in their career? By understanding your "why", you can harness a powerful tool that keeps you motivated and on track during challenging times. Personally, I have spent years refining my purpose, and it ultimately comes down to having a greater sense of meaning in my work. My purpose is twofold: to provide financial security for my family and to make a positive impact on the world. Despite many moments of doubt and uncertainty, where I questioned if my work was just greenwashing or focused on profits over sustainability, I have consistently strived to improve sustainability outcomes in every role I have held.

Over time, my "why" has evolved, and now, as a father of three, I am more determined than ever to make a difference in the world. Understanding the bigger picture and the role I can play in creating a better future is a powerful driver that keeps me focused and motivated to succeed. Drawing from my own journey through the trials and triumphs of global corporate roles, this book, How to Build Sustainability into Your Business Strategy, is born from the bruises, frustrations, and burnout. It's more than a guidebook. It’s my obsession to help individuals seek deeper meaning in their careers and to enlighten businesses on the practical steps to seize the sustainability opportunity of our time.

A speaker and podcast host, he’s a husband and father of six children, a US Marine, champion boxer, black belt, and an internationally recognized steel sculptor.

His expertise lies in combining both the strategic and the tactical. He's able to deliver immediate, problem-solving results (tactical), along with strategic, long-term implementation of systemization and scalability. With over 30 years in business himself, Richard has embraced time compression, sharing the secrets and strategies that bring rapid and lasting results to the companies he works with.

After 20 years in business and at the top of my game '08/09 hit and I lost everything. At this same time, I had a wife and six children under the age of four. As a Marine, champion boxer and black belt I'm not a fan of losing, so I had to do the hard work of determining why I failed so catastrophically. I connected all the dots (and there were a lot of them) and started to rebuild and regain success. At this same time business owners are trapped in the Owner Prison where they serve their business instead of it serving them. I show them how to Escape the Owner Prison. other entrepreneurs were watching and asking me how I did it. Next thing you know I'm helping them create their business to not only withstand hardship but begin to thrive and create a life with balance in the five most important areas of life - Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness and Friendships. I even wrote a best-selling book called Escape the Owner Prison where I detailed my story and how they can escape themselves. I learned that if I could help business owners understand the power that business ownership has, that it will not only balance their life, but it can do the same for those under their employment. That in turn transfers to their families which then influences the communities they live in. Now, do this with 10,000 Small businesses and we have the opportunity to alter the lives of millions of people for the better...

As a family, we create cherished moments—traveling with our daughter, Auburn, to gymnastics competitions and cheering on our son, Jagger, as the quarterback for Brentwood Blaze.

Let’s Take Steps Together! Step 1: Teach me about you. Step 2: TBD. Because life is a journey, and every connection adds colour to our canvas. Let’s connect, collaborate, and create an impact!

And so, it's not as easy as just kind of raising your hand or watching what you know Tom does and how he that he fills out a procedure or whatever it is. People need to be able to be empowered to work independently, as our businesses are evolving and still kind of adapting to what you know, the pandemic put us in. So, they need to have that independence, we can't learn in the same way that we used to learn just by osmosis and just observing other people. That's not an easy thing to do.

If you don’t that, you're going to spend hours on calls, trying to explain things to people, you're going to get frustrated team members, because they don't understand what they should be doing.

Olivia Parkes Bio

Olivia Parkes was born in the United Kingdom, dividing her time between her hometown of Sheffield and the bustling capital, London. From a young age, Olivia displayed a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a penchant for system-oriented thinking. During her academic journey at University College London, where Olivia pursued a degree in Pharmacology, she embarked on her entrepreneurial journey, founding her first e-commerce business at the age of 19. Subsequently, Olivia ventured into the realm of digital marketing by establishing a successful digital marketing agency.

Olivia's career path took an intriguing turn as she decided to specialize in sales, becoming a high-ticket sales representative. This shift in focus allowed Olivia to achieve remarkable sales figures, consistently selling packages worth $100,000 per month. Her unique insights into the world of business brought her into close collaboration with CEOs in the online coaching and marketing sectors, many of whom boasted six to seven-figure incomes.

Observing a recurring theme among these CEOs—profits falling short of their potential due to inadequate systems, automations, and operational strategies—Olivia decided to intervene. Taking on the role of an operational leader, she implemented strategic changes, made crucial hires, and streamlined marketing and sales efforts. In just 12 months, her efforts propelled the CEO's business from $350,000 to an impressive $850,000.

This success led Olivia to extend her expertise to other clients, assuming the role of a fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO). Her mission became clear: to relieve entrepreneurs from the exhaustion of constantly burning out by implementing efficient systems that genuinely save time and boost profitability. Crucially, Olivia aimed to design systems that teams would enthusiastically adopt, recognizing that unused systems were ineffectual....

“There are victories to be found even within failures. Because failure is part of the process of learning and achieving success. And through trial and error. Life is one long, ongoing boxing match. Losing one round or failing at something does not make us a failure for our entire lives. Even the greatest of the greats, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, they got knocked down. But it's not about how many times you get knocked down. It's about how many times you get back up.”

“Third is vision. You know, there's a proverb that says, without vision, the people perish. We've got to cast a vision for what we're trying to accomplish. And so, while I tease people by saying what do you want to be when you grow up? There's a lot of truth to that. Where do you see yourself? If it's a sales culture? Where do you see your customer or your client or your member using your product or service? Where do you see them accomplishing the things they want to accomplish? Simply for lining up or aligning with what you have in your vision? value proposition. It's that vision for moving and compelling us forward.”

I think that advice would flow through to even to all bricks and mortar businesses as well. What does a potential exit look like? Who would we sell it to? And how do you value it? And then what do I need to do? What we find is when people start thinking about, even if they don't want to sell now and the next five years, but when their mind is on the exit, they naturally create a far better business.”

“The first word in a question is often the most important. So, if you ask, Why did you do that, then that comes across as accusatory. And then you're setting up a more aggressive space, but if you open instead with what was going on for you, or tell me what was going on for you? Or how did that arise? Or where did I go wrong? So those first questions, and those first words in those questions is really where it sets the tone. The way you start a conversation is where you end a conversation.”

Wendy Nash Bio

Wendy Nash helps ambitious high-tech startup founders improve productivity and decrease procrastination without increasing their workload to build a profitable business and not burn out. Unlike other life coaches, she works with knowing the mind, not just the mindset. It’s not just overcoming your limiting beliefs!

Wendy created a process called Meditation Coaching where she guides people to set up and maintain a regular meditation practice that fits with their lifestyle and improves understanding themselves in order to understand others better. If you think loving-kindness meditation is only for the soft and weak, bring to mind someone who rejected your business idea or funding proposal and wish them kindness and care – it’s tough! This meditation process helps gain awareness with what you’re good at and where the gaps are so you grow a sound business. Wendy’s clients achieved financially strong businesses despite cofounder conflict, funding rejections, staff underperformance, almost burning out, investor negotiations, constant fear of failure and pivoting new directions in work and life. In other words, she focuses on turning negatives into supercharged positives.

Fun facts about Wendy

• Her favorite line from the somatic psychotherapy course was another student who said The one common denominator of all my relationships is me.
• For her psychology honors project on loving kindness meditation, she tested the Javascript research survey with ABBA songs.
• Her project from the 2-year meditation teacher training was creating a class on How to be happier without doing more which meant a whole lot of doing more.
• She doesn’t always enjoy meditation but slogs at it because what it takes today it gives tomorrow whereas she figured out that party drugs give today but take tomorrow.

Douglas Brown Bio

Doug is passionate about employee retention and believes strongly that employees who enjoy their careers and find fulfilment in their work are more likely to become loyal employees that remain with their organizations for extended tenures. In addition, when their needs and careers are supported, they become strong brand ambassadors advocating for the company and helping to build the team morale and strong relationships that have a positive impact on employee retention. Doug believes that there are three core focuses to strong employee retention: cultivating engagement drivers, creating rewarding work experiences, and building a career development plan for every employee. Ultimately, this also contributes to business success through employee growth and development as well as reduced turnover costs and loss of knowledge and skills. For the past 30 years, Doug has served in roles from Supervisor to President, overseeing production, quality control, sales and marketing, administration, distribution, and fulfilment. He has successfully overcome the many challenges involved in building loyal, high-performance teams. Doug believes that mid-level managers are the crucial link between the employee and the organization and in the strongest position to ensure the employees career needs and expectations are met.

Lisa G – The Business Chick is on a mission to give business owners and managers back the freedom that they crave for. It’s really about gaining a fresh perspective on where you are going and how to get there faster. After all … you work to live … not live to work.

Lisa calls it the “F.R.E.E.D.O.M” Plan. Because that’s the number 1 thing her clients are struggling to find in their day. Time to do the most valuable things in your business, even space to stop and have lunch, or maybe finally plan a stress-free holiday.

As an Aerobics Champion and adventurer of the 80’s & 90’s, Lisa still has a few fluro lycra memories and has lots of life lessons to share…from her workplace adventurers in unexpected places to (home) negotiations with teenagers. And lots about business too!

She has presented and trained teams in Australia and internationally and worked in key communication roles in publishing, hospitality, sport & fitness, Fairfax news, retail marketing and entertainment. Clients say they like the down to earth language and Lisa’s ability to help decipher the detail into manageable plans.

Richard Phu Bio

Hey! Rich here, I call myself the ‘Geek Master’ to my team because I geek out over systems, processes, and apps! Being in business shouldn’t mean having less freedom in life. That’s why I’ve been obsessed with creating systems and processes with entrepreneurs and business owners to create freedom for the owner, but also their virtual teams to work flexible times and wherever they want.

I’ve been designing, building, implementing, and reviewing processes and systems for well over 8 years working with clients like Deutsche Bank, Nestle and Macquarie Bank. However, after countless hours pouring my heart and soul into projects with little fulfilment, I left my corporate career to start an online men’s coaching business. It ran itself allowing me to travel the world, spend time with my family and even to move to Singapore to call home for some time. All of this was possible through building the right systems in place so that I’m not chained to my business. After being asked by so many other entrepreneurs to systemise their business’s (including a company of 40+ remote employees). I created the Freedom Systems with the sole-aim to help entrepreneurs who are trapped in their business get their freedom back… So, they can spend more time with their family and do what matters most...

“When I say about expressing your needs verbally, it also goes for positive behaviours. But then when it goes to setting clear boundaries, it's extremely important, specifically for behaviours that cause problem for us or behaviours that might be violating. Therefore, if someone is expressing a kind of behaviour, that creates issue for us, setting the boundary very clearly, is the most crucial thing. And the funny thing about these kinds of behaviours, the pathogenic ones, as we psychologists like to call them, is that you need to basically burn them from the root.”

Along the way, he found himself consumed by the thoughts inside himself, as they fought to be heard. Writing became his outlet, his way of processing the world around him and sharing his ideas with others. And with a lot of time on his hands in cars, planes, and airports it poured out of him. As he embraced change and pursued his passion for writing, he discovered new depths of growth and transformation. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but taking chances and trying new things can lead to unimaginable opportunities and personal fulfillment.

Ken’s Rules are a collection of life and business strategies that are an amalgamation of his life and business experiences. Ideas he picked up here and there, he looked at them as analogies for certain situations, theories to use, to learn from, thoughts, concepts, trials and personal experiments, presented to used here and there in your own life and business. In his early fifties, he decided to replace his habit of reading with writing while traveling. Little did he know that this simple change would lead him on a transformative journey of self-discovery and creativity.

And that's because I've been through massive restructuring, 18, mergers and acquisitions, lots of really difficult decisions to be made. But I didn't show up. I didn't get to know all the individuals in part because one, I had a bit of impostor syndrome, myself, the youngest in the room, the only woman often at the boardroom table, it's there's a lot of reasons I showed up the way I did. And so I didn't take the time to build really like authentic relationships with the team, were number one. And number two, I never showed my own vulnerability to them, to build that and get trust. And so those that authenticity and building this real trusted connection with people, and to learning how to be really vulnerable. Those are, I say, simple. Not everyone's comfortable with that, and you'll need to lean into the discomfort to be successful at it.

Bio Victoria Pelletier

Victoria has never let circumstances stand in her way. Growing up in an abusive home until she was removed and later adopted, Victoria’s childhood was filled with abuse, sexual assault, and physical violence. But none of that has stopped her. Victoria has overcome tremendous odds to pursue a life of corporate success and leadership. It’s easy to let our circumstances stand in our way. But we don’t have to. Circumstances of our past only rob us of our future if we let them. Victoria chose not to let her circumstances be her excuses.

By age 24, Victoria was offered her first executive role with a large, dynamic, and fast paced organization. Yes, that’s dreadfully young to have such accountability and responsibility. It was her tenacity of spirit, her confidence that she could do the job, and her grit to see that she could rise to the occasion, empowered by the leaders around her that led to her success.

As a member of the LGBTQ community, Victoria knows about diversity and inclusion, and why one without the other is of little value. It’s not enough to have other voices at the table when those opinions aren’t being heard. Victoria’s messages have stemmed from her struggle, and success, in being accepted as a woman in the male dominated board room, and as a member of the LGBTQ community

“I believe networking is an inclusive activity. So, the more networking you do, the more opportunities you're going to create for yourself. So never think of networking as I should only ever do one and give that everything. Because what you're doing is you're limiting the opportunities that you can bring into that that particular room of people, you want to create opportunities for people in the room, that's your role in the networking room. And everybody's thinking that way, everyone's creating opportunities for each other. So, the more networking we do, the more opportunities we can create for other people.”

Miller IP Law was founded by Devin Miller, a patent attorney that lives in Utah. As Devin worked for a large law firm helping fortune 100 clients with their intellectual property, he realized that there was not a good resource out there to help start-ups and small businesses understand intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights. As a small business owner, Devin wanted to provide a resource for start-ups and small businesses where they could learn about patents, trademarks, and copyrights and how they relate to business to help small business owners like himself build value into their business and protect their assets.

He originally aimed only at taking on subcontractors, but his business grew, and he gradually began to specialise in the building up and selling of lawn mowing rounds. By 1989 he franchised his business, and since then Jim’s Mowing has become the largest franchise chain in Australian and the largest and best-known lawn mowing business in the world.

Jim’s Cleaning was launched in 1994, followed by more than 50 other divisions which now operate in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Jim’s Group now has over 3,800 Franchisees and a turnover of approximately $500 million. Jim says, “The key to success in franchising is an overriding concern for the welfare of franchisees, and constant improvement in customer service.” He is still actively involved in the running of the business, is directly accessible to all his Franchisees and to any client with a serious complaint.

He is funding a research program into the epigenetics of social behaviour, a continuation of his PhD work, which he believes could help in the treatment of mental illness and addictive disorders.

"Do you know your conversion rate? If you don't let's start there as to find out what it is this guy we dug into it, he had a 20% conversion rate. So, for every five people his team spoke with, he would get you know one of those become a client. And I asked him when he was doing the sales and selling how many how much would he convert? And he said he would convert 80% of the time, right? So, he would get four out of five. So, there's big disparity there. So, we set to work and identify what were the gaps? How could we get that sales up to 50%? Could we get the teams to be moving that way? Now we set that as a standard. And we put in some small steps and processes along the way. Now within three to six months, his team were up to 40%. So, they're going from 20% to 40%, just by focusing on making a few small tweaks and changes.

“The temptation in Western cultures to quickly move from relationship building, to securing and then close the deal. However, from an Asian perspective, the emphasis is on establishing a quality and a long-term relationship first, and I call this the 20-year rule. So, here's what I mean, if I don't get the impression from you that we will continue having a solid relationship in 20 years’ time, I'm less likely to invest in the relationship right now. Now, this emphasis on relationship building is a prerequisite for building trust and negotiating a fair deal in Asia. And that's not the same, in a lot of other countries are certainly not to the same degree. So, I guess what I'm trying to say to warn here in a way is that if you appear too preoccupied with just the short-term contracts at hand, this could cause alarm for your Asian partner, who in turn may decide to choose a competitor whose values align more closely with theirs.”

Who is Candice Mama?

My name is Candice Mama, I was born in 1991 in South Africa a country that was gripped by the grossly violent and oppressive system of Apartheid and this is my story.

In September 2014 , The National Prosecuting Authority reached out to my family to enquire about whether or not we would like to meet Eugene de Kock ( a former South African Police colonel, torturer, and assassin, active under the apartheid government. Nicknamed “ Prime Evil” and sentenced to 212 years in prison under 89 charges). As many would imagine, it wasn’t a decision we came to without many dinner-table discussions and some trepidation from members of the family.

We agreed to schedule our meeting for the following Tuesday. In the days to come, a sense of self-reflection enveloped me. My dad, Glenack Masilo Mama, was brutally killed in a vicious and unjust time in our country’s history. My memories of him were nothing but compilations of different people’s stories and pictures we collected over time. However, the one thing I knew for sure about my father was that he had been tortured and then burnt to death by a man named Eugene de Kock. I went on to read numerous articles and books about the man dubbed Prime Evil and his legacy, which was that of being the face and embodiment of an unjustifiable system of hate and oppression. Growing up in a house where reading and introspection were encouraged allowed me to be able to contextualise my dad’s killing. Which, in my mind, made his death mean something.

He died fighting a system and wanting a different country for my brother and myself, which we are extremely fortunate to now be living in. This made me realise I couldn’t hate De Kock because love and hate cannot operate in the same space. If I wanted to resent him, I would never be able to fully enjoy the life my dad and so many others willingly or unwillingly died

Summary of Caleb DeLon

“Unless you're one of the rare individuals who actually thrives in that environment, it's going to be best for you to write your book in community. And especially when we're talking about content creation, to bring in someone to ask you questions. In this, this takes speaking your content to the next level. It's one thing to hit record on your phone and just begin to talk. It's another to have a friend sitting across from you asking you questions that you then respond to, because what that friend can do is by the questions they ask, help you to remember stories that you forgotten and come up with insights that you would never have done simply monologuing.”

Who is Nick Mautone?

With 40 years of hospitality industry experience, Nick Mautone believes in the power of mentorship, leadership, collaboration, and possibility. Nick is the architect of an inventive process called “Hospitality Sabermetrics” — think Moneyball for Hospitality and has a sixth sense when it comes to foreseeing trends. He is known for nurturing sustained success, streamlining operations, and aligning core values in every sort of hospitality business. For Nick Mautone, the spark came as a young kid growing up in Mt. Vernon, NY where he spent weekends making cheese and handmade pasta for his dad’s specialty food business. While he dreamed of becoming a NASA scientist (and still loves looking up at the stars), he worked his way through school in restaurants—bussing tables and backing bars. Eventually he and his siblings opened an innovative pizzeria, American Pie, on the Upper West Side. Science became a hobby, and restaurants became his life.

Since then, Nick has worked with some of the most iconic and influential restaurants in the world including Gotham Bar & Grill, Hudson River Club, and most notably, Gramercy Tavern where he was managing partner alongside Danny Meyer and Tom Colicchio for seven years and helped define and nurture a fledgling idea Danny and the group coined called “Enlightened Hospitality.” With decades of experience behind him, in 2003, Nick founded his management and consulting business, Mautone Enterprises. The business was born of a desire to share his process, experience, mentorship, and leadership. Whether building a strong foundation for a first-time restaurateur, or turning around a big ship on the wrong course, for Nick the process is about grass roots collaboration, helping chefs and owners come together, developing systems for success, and digging deep into the numbers and the P&L, to uncover what needs to be tweaked, edited, or completely uprooted, delivering holistic success—including profitability, streamlined and efficient operations, a sense of community, harmony, and growth among all staff, and sustainability of concept.
Nick is a strong believer in active participation in the community and has worked with many local and national charities. He has been an advisor and fundraiser to non-profits focused on childhood education and on hunger relief and poverty alleviation. These days, Nick lives outside Seattle where he hangs out with his family—his daughter Alexandra (28), son Nicholas (15), and wife Terri Ludwig. He is an avid reader and cyclist, and a terrible but enthusiastic amateur astronomer...

Who is Rael Bricker?

In 2013 I was given a rude awakening when after a season of triathlons, I decided to run a marathon. All this was part of a plan before turning 50. Each time I ran, I experienced neck pain and it was discovered that I had two blocked arteries. I was the lucky one- I dodged a bullet and ended up with two stents.

This experience helped me to find my purpose in life. I found my purpose in sharing the experiences of journeying and achieving excellence with business owners and entrepreneurs around the world. After 30+ years as a serial entrepreneur, in everything from education to finance to fitness, I’ve now made it my mission to share my knowledge and expertise with others. Seeing that light come on, and connections being made in people’s heads as to how they can weave my experiences and advice into their businesses reinforces that this is where I need to be.

From being 6000ft underground in a mine, to starting an education business (that grew to have 4000 plus students) and spending years working in venture capital, I have has seen it all. I have listed companies on multiple international stock exchanges, and my financial services group has settled more than $3bn in loans over 20 years. I have a diverse work history combined with unique global research interviews with companies in more than 25 countries. Taking this knowledge and experience makes me perfect to work with leaders and managers on growing and achieving excellence, as I have experienced the rollercoaster myself, and know how to navigate the twists, turns and loops. If you need me to have academic qualifications, I hold two Masters degrees; an MBA and MSc (Engineering) and am currently a Fellow of the MFAA (Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia), a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) (Professional Speakers Australia) and a Member of AICD (Australian Institute of Company Directors). My most important qualification is from the school of hard knocks and my most important skill is being able to listen to your needs and design a solution to help you. I am the first inspirationalist in Australia with Integrus Global and a Mentor with both Mentored With Mark Bouris and Mastermind.space. I love serving and contributing to others and in 2021 I have served as the President of Professional Speakers Australia in Western Australia. As my surname suggests, I am about laying the right bricks as the foundation to your personal and business success on the journey to excellence.

Who is Rael Bricker?

In 2013 I was given a rude awakening when after a season of triathlons, I decided to run a marathon. All this was part of a plan before turning 50. Each time I ran, I experienced neck pain and it was discovered that I had two blocked arteries. I was the lucky one- I dodged a bullet and ended up with two stents.

This experience helped me to find my purpose in life. I found my purpose in sharing the experiences of journeying and achieving excellence with business owners and entrepreneurs around the world.

After 30+ years as a serial entrepreneur, in everything from education to finance to fitness, I’ve now made it my mission to share my knowledge and expertise with others. Seeing that light come on, and connections being made in people’s heads as to how they can weave my experiences and advice into their businesses reinforces that this is where I need to be.

From being 6000ft underground in a mine, to starting an education business (that grew to have 4000 plus students) and spending years working in venture capital, I have has seen it all. I have listed companies on multiple international stock exchanges, and my financial services group has settled more than $3bn in loans over 20 years. I have a diverse work history combined with unique global research interviews with companies in more than 25 countries. Taking this knowledge and experience makes me perfect to work with leaders and managers on growing and achieving excellence, as I have experienced the rollercoaster myself, and know how to navigate the twists, turns and loops.

If you need me to have academic qualifications, I hold two Masters degrees; an MBA and MSc (Engineering) and am currently a Fellow of the MFAA (Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia), a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) (Professional Speakers Australia) and a Member of AICD (Australian Institute of Company Directors).

Who is Derrick McManus?

Derrick McManus was a South Australian Police officer operating in the elite Special Tasks And Rescue (STAR) Group. He held specialist skills as a sniper, diver and was trained by the military elite Special Air Services Regiment (SAS) in counter-terrorist tactics. This is a physically, mentally and emotionally demanding environment. It is an extreme, potentially overwhelming, VUCA environment in every way.

Derrick’s team had been tasked to arrest a high-risk offender. He was obviously not very keen on being arrested. He fired 18 times in less than 5 seconds and hit Derrick 14 times. Derrick was then lying on the ground bleeding for 3 hours prior to his rescue. It was also anticipated that Derrick would suffer massive post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and be in psychological therapy for decades after such a massive traumatic event.

Three months after the shooting, Derrick had a single appointment with the Director of the Adelaide Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies – an international expert in traumatic stress. Derrick defied all odds and amazed everyone when he was immediately psychologically cleared to go back to full duties with the elite STAR Group (obviously his physical injuries took much longer).

Derrick had proactively prepared himself physically, mentally, AND emotionally for the challenges he could expect as a result of the choices he had made. He took responsibility for his actions and for all possible consequences. This format has been developed into the model for Human Durability and forms the basis of the philosophies within the Australian Centre for Human Durability.

Derrick has been a speaker and trainer on the international speaking circuit for the past 20 years. He’s presented to audiences of 7 people to 4000 people, 5-year-old students to staff/team leaders to executives/CEO’s through to retirees. Derrick provides the insights and the tools to go beyond resilience to durability and create sustained optimum performance. He will show you how to create greater success for your people, leaders, and the organization.

“ But trying to find that key to give them the power, the strengths to be able to make those changes is similar. In adults believing in themselves, part of it comes in believing in themselves.

A trademark is more on the branding side. When you think of the name of a company, name of a business, a logo, a catchphrase something, it is what the brand is. And then copyrights are going to be more on the creative side. So, if it's kind of creative in nature, you know, a book, a video, a sculpture, or a painting something that's on the creative side, you protect with copyrights.”

Who is Bret Treasure?

Bret is a co-founder of Stake Something, the anti-procrastination app that's just launched in Australia. Behavioural science says if you want to get into action, it works to have something at stake. First, you make a promise what you're going to do - exercise, study, weight loss, quality time, business-building etc. Second, you put something at stake. Money works best.

At the end of the week if you've kept your promise, you keep your money - and you've got into action. If not, the proceeds go to charity. You win or the charity wins. The app works best if you have a coach, so we make it available through gyms, personal trainers, life coaches, dieticians, and business coaches.

Bret married a Brazilian lady and spent 18 months travelling around South America, when they came back to Australia he wanted to continue with Spanish, to get fluent in it but completely dropped the ball. So, when he started the business, he decided to stake studying Spanish. If he doesn’t study Spanish every day for 45 minutes, he has to donate up to $100 on Sunday. He had never thought of himself as a money motivated guy but now he has done 900 days in a row, without missing any! The threat of losing $100 was all it took to make him a super-reliable student.

Here’s my story and why I’m doing what I’m doing

I was 3 when the passion that inspired my business was born

I was 7 when I said to my mum, I’m going to open a baby shop

I was 8 when I began my business journey

When I was 3 years old, my little sister Abbie entered the world with a Left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. This meant a hole in her diaphragm had pushed all her intestines & stomach into her chest cavity, pushing her heart to the wrong side. She wasn’t born with any symptoms, so it was not until 12 hours post birth, when a midwife passing by asked to have Abbie’s chest x-rayed before discharging her. the paediatrician then discovered the hernia. my parents were told that most babies would have died over night, so it was a true blessing Abbie had survived this long.

She was immediately flown to the Royal Children's Hospital to receive lifesaving surgery. during Abbie's recovery, it meant that I got to spend a lot of time in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. I would visit Abbie; help take care of her and bring her teddies. just being surrounded by so many little babies and the overall experience of Abbie's birth left a real imprint in my heart, sparking a passion for babies and the desire to nurture. as me and Abbie have grown up together, she has been by my side every step of the way in the dream to open our business

But the business journey, I just wished that I could just know the right things, to have the right help that would actually show me some positive results we would go to conferences, seminars, workshops, fill up books with notes that would then pile up. It’s so easy to get lost in the overload of ‘coaching’ and ‘advice’ out there trying to understand the analytics that goes on behind operating a business.

I was 8 when I started to try this, mum was trying the best to make it happen, but she didn't have the expertise, and we did get lost. We got overwhelmed and it hit a bit of a standstill.

In my mid-teens I was still dead serious about my future being my business, so I launched it again, I found the workshops etc that I would go to or read would help me with a specific point, or get me to a specific place but not enough to ground me solidly in every aspect of ru

After more than 25 years of building successful companies, I'm tapping into my passion for helping business leaders cultivate growth and clarify their vision. This prompted me to create Pinnacle Traction. It's been a long journey that started when I co-founded a company called imei in 2000 with a trusted business partner. I worked in several key leadership roles throughout its growth, and when we reached a critical point of change in the business, I stepped back, leaving it in the hands of a new CEO.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out. To cut a long story short, my co-founder and I took back the reins and worked with a business coach who mentored us in implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating SystemTM (EOS) that ultimately turned things around.

I was hooked, seeing how impactful EOS was in my own business led me to create Pinnacle Traction.

It's just that I have a different way of doing things. You make more money faster and have more time to spend with your family.

“And as I continue to learn more and more, I wondered if others knew the little golden nuggets that I had come across along the way. So, I really wrote the book to share what I'd learned in the hope that it might have some impact on others in terms of how it lands with them, and really helping them live their journey.”

“I think I think team approach in terms of preparation is absolutely key. And that's just we don't need to be the expert in everything. But if we can recruit and align with the right people that can help us in different ways, it can be an incredibly powerful combination. ”

I have been involved in business since I can remember myself. Buying, selling, starting new ventures, you name it.

Only after several years in business did I realise that I have severe ADHD that not only affects my “life choices” (risk takers???), but also my day-to-day performance. I set out to establish some ground rules to help me along and found that these rules really helped me succeed.

Over the years I discussed these rules with colleagues and friends and came to the understanding that they were insightful, yet simple to follow, and due to popular demand, I sat down to write down these rules.

This is a book for people with ADHD, it takes just a few minutes to read, yet should have a long-lasting effect on you.

Enjoy your reading and most importantly please write to me and share your experiences after reading this book.

Hadar.

Phil now works with ambitious SME-owners as a Business Sounding Board (think somewhere between Business Coach, Business Mentor, and ‘personal NED’). In simple terms, he’s ‘a pair of ears and an extra pair eyes’ for SME Owners helping them to be better at what they do.

It doesn’t need to be ‘lonely at the top’.

As a Business Sounding Board, he gives SME Owners the time & space to regularly discuss their challenges and opportunities, with no sense of judgement or bias, and in complete confidence. This allows them to explore their options in full, culminating with a list of issues to address/clarify, a clear target in mind, a roadmap to success, and a renewed enthusiasm and confidence for the challenges ahead.

Over the last 12 months Phil has appeared on over 25 podcasts, from around the whole globe, talking on a variety of business subjects. You can view them all at https://philfraser.co.uk/watch-hear-phil/.

Who is Stephen Sandor?

Steve Sandor has over 35 years of management experience across a diverse range of industries in Australian and overseas. Steve’s experience ranges from managing small and large teams to starting three businesses. Steve understands that to run and manage a business is simple but not easy.

Business is made up of Product, Processes and People and it’s the people part that are the most important component.

Returning from overseas in 2019 Steve saw a need to help medium sized Business make better decisions and established Inspiring Business and created the Scale to Success System.

“I’ve seen too many business owners told that they need ‘something’ when it was the wrong ‘something’. When you’re a small or medium business, making the right decision at the wrong time can cause so much unnecessary stress”

The Scale to Success System is the process I have used over my career as a Line Manager and Consultant to improve the financial and cultural performance of a business.

“I have at my disposal many different models and processes that I have accumulated over the years and my genius is helping my clients to know what, when and how to apply them. No one business is the same so the solution to the problem must be bespoke for it to succeed.”

Good automation solves two litmus tests. The first I think is fairly obvious and that's it's an increase in efficiency when you add automation in right? Does this thing happen quicker? Because automation is a part of the workflow? Typically, that answer is yes. The second thing is that's if automation improves the efficacy of what we're doing does the outcome of what we're creating become better because we've added automation into the workflow or not? It's difficult because it's not always a black and white, yes or no answer. It's dependent on you and your business and your understanding of what you're trying to achieve by adding automation as a tool into your workflow.

2:29 To automate a process, I’m looking for a 1-2% change that will speed up the process measurably

I grew up in Northern Ireland in a pub, my parents owned the pub, we grew up above it. Later in life, as I started working with organizations and leaders, one of the common complaints or one of the common concerns was around engagement and people, how do you get people engaged? And how do you get people to feel like they belong in an organization?

The more I thought about that, I thought hey, here's this, institution that's been around for hundreds of years that people voluntarily go to, they call it their local. In there, people make connections, and people have sense of belonging and they're vulnerable. They tell stories, they don't feel they have to be perfect and I thought it was a wonderful institution to look at to see what's happening, what's some of the dynamics in there that might inform businesses and leadership today?

"I realized that one of the biggest issues that small businesses have in terms of marketing is the disparity it's all over the place. And if you can align it into one line, that does not talk about your product or service, it ignites your marketing, because you have one line, and that line becomes a tool "

"What we do is we come down and say what is keeping your target audience awake at night. And if you can reflect their pain back to them better than they even know their own pain, something very interesting happens. your credibility increases, and suddenly they see you not just as a spammy salesperson, but somebody that understands them, the industry, their job title, what's keeping them awake at night, and then they are open to discussing that problem with you.

Every time I see someone self-sabotaging I understand, having had that experience makes me a bit more empathetic towards people who are doing it and I and I call them on it really quickly.

The benefit of situational awareness is it doesn't care how fast you're going in and you know, I see ample bad decisions made at a slow speed, let alone bad decisions at high speed. One of the things we learn is good or bad decisions is irrelevant, the decision itself is what's important.

1:28 I was exceedingly lucky to have that sense of purpose or an incredibly young age.

5:09 I think that the biggest handbrake to people living their best lives is themselves

7:35 What I subconsciously decided to do was sabotage my career instead

13:10 What I think is important is the leader must work in the business to understand what it's like working as an employee in the business

18:33 Without a decision, the environment stays vague and stays gray, you need to move into the black or white end of that spectrum.

FIGHTER PILOT • ENTREPRENEUR - LEADER • CEO • AUTHOR - PERFORMANCE COACH
Boo is an established entrepreneur, business owner and today, an executive leadership and performance coach. At the age of 19 Boo was recruited into the Royal Australian Air Force as a pilot and completed over 11 years as an elite fighter pilot, one of only 400 trained over a 40 year period. The product of a $15 million dollar training program, Boo reached the pinnacle of his career as a Squadron Leader, before his medical discharge for a chronic auto immune disorder known as Ankylosing Spondylitis.

At 30 years of age Boo made a life changing decision, boarding a commercial flight to Kabul Afghanistan, where he founded CTG Global, a Humanitarian business delivering projects on behalf of United Nations agencies. Over a period of three years Boo cut his business teeth in one of the worlds most demanding, challenging and dangerous environments on the planet, successfully growing the business to over 1,600 employees until its sale four years later.
Today CTG is a multi-million-dollar company with operations spanning the globe.

Boo subsequently transitioned into property development and hospitality, his company built the world’s tallest prefabricated modular hotel in the Australian city of Perth, completing a two year project in only 11 months. The project set a record for the construction of 17 stories, completing the structure in only 11 weeks.

Boo also heads up the Australian arm of an organisation called “Afterburner” a team of men and women who had served as fighter pilots, the custodians of “The Fighter Pilot Way”, also called Flawless Execution. Upon participating in his first Afterburner event Boo had an
epiphany, the skills he learned, developed and applied as a fighter pilot were the fundamental skills that lead to his business success.

It’s through this journey Boo developed a passion for human performance. He’s identified what it is about our innate humanness that prevents us from living the life we dream about and the secrets to unlocking the power of the people around us to assist us with achieving our goals.

I strongly believe we are going to have a huge spike in mental health crisis

mental health is the foundation of all health. And once you have mental health and wellness, you're complete. Because the other term I actually coined myself is a holistic wellness strategist. Now that's what how I see it, but lay person, it's a mental health and wellness coach. So the holistic part refers to the wellness wheel, and the different components of our health. And if you address each part, you will be balanced and healthy.

"And it's just my pleasure to try to help people get unstuck, because what I find is, so many entrepreneurs, they're stuck in their ways, you know, their business may be stuck, but they may also be stuck in their ways as far as not having sort of a Northstar, not having a business goal, let alone a personal goal "

The way I've discovered success later in life is like the old Bob Dylan quote, “If a man wakes up in the morning and goes to bed at night, and in between does what he likes, then he is a success”. I think, that is the best definition because it's really a story you can write yourself.

We always think that when I get to this stage in my business I’ll sell it, I'll be happy, but you won't. That won't make you happy in all this sort of state of yours, hold your happiness hostage to something in the future, I'll just do this deal, or do another year, or sell this business, and then I'll be happy. It doesn't happen.

1:52 I thought that you had to be able to buy and sell a business and make hundreds of

millions or billions to be worthy

5:50 Success is one example, but a lot of our identity and our relationships are embedded

around us.

8:41 We always think that when I get to this stage in my business I’ll sell it, I'll be happy,

but you won't.

15:41 A mentor said to me take as much cash as you can out the business, and stick it into

real estate, stick it into assets

something better

I think one of the biggest things about self-leadership is that if we want to be effective in what we do, then it starts from within and so any effort that it takes to improve who we are, and how we show up in the world, is going to have that ripple effect out to our people, our business, our organization

I would say to any leader, start with listening, because just that one act is going to show that you care, and that you value what your people have to say and therefore, people will then step in and feel engaged, and then that has that ripple trigger effect, to helping them realize how important they are in the whole scheme of things and then pay attention to their own behavior.

5:21 I would say to any leader, start with listening, because just that one act is

decisions, even when they're hard decisions, or even when they're just business as

usual decisions

12:11 To me managing up and self-leadership are two very different things

16:19 I think first and foremost is starting with your values

"so many people get a VA confused of having a team. And it's really not about that it's about a philosophy, too many people, you know, started out as you know, employee themselves. And so what happens is when they go to start a team, you are bringing somebody on, and then you're handing work over to them. And it's sort of like it comes from a very parental system, give them a task, and then you make sure they do it well. And that's just the frustration "

So many entrepreneurs are so struck by the people pleasing gene of wanting to make everybody else happy around them, of having the need for external validation, the fear of disappointing others and that drives a certain kind of behavior.

With communication, people think about what they're going to say, it is all about the way we listen. It's all about being willing to be totally present, letting go of any the stories that we make up and being curious.

1:14. As a human, you get stuck with sticky stuff all the time

Moving from a large city like Moscow, which is very cosmopolitan into Lexington, Kentucky, you know, it's a lovely college town and as many professionals know, it's Middle America that has a totally different kind of middle. So, you know, the challenge is first just figure out a sort of how to blend in.

The first thing is just having gone through that experience as an immigrant number one, just trying to figure out where am I? How does this place work? What language do I speak? What words do I use? How do I understand other people?

Fast-growth (Inc. 5000) CEOs, just like turn-around CEOs, often screw up their Talent Strategy, Operations + Digital Transformation (80% fail), benefits and systems, with high costs and disastrous results. They often have no real strategy or plan for acquiring, engaging or developing top talent, or growing and scaling.

Even if they're great at moving quickly and "breaking things," their rocket ship needs a battle-hardened HR leader on board.

They are just 1 of a million aspiring "best companies to work for" without a compelling employer brand, benefit strategy or employee experience.

That's where I come in.

I help mission-driven enterprises to live and breathe their “Why” by building, growing and scaling world-class HR/People/Culture/Talent organizations and company cultures, empowering talent to do their life's best work in the here and now.

At HR, Talent & Systems, we engage with award-winning corporations and Inc. 5000 startups to transform how they do business by unlocking and unleashing their greatest asset (their people), creating a virtuous cycle of engaged employees and increased profitability.

Using our proven SDMI (strategy, design, motivation and implementation) framework, we help CEOs and C-suites delegate/automate/outsource effectively, improve and streamline internal communications, unclog information flow and empower data-driven decision-making.

To create a superlative Employee Experience (EX) and improve retention, engagement and development, we partner with trusted vendors to customize employee benefits for value and relevance, improve team dynamics and project management through coaching, measure and benchmark performance, provide Leadership & Development opportunities, as well as create clear job descriptions, career pathways and promotion/raise guidelines.

Beyond traditional strategy consulting, “digital transformation” and "change management" frameworks, we drive success for our clients through a high-touch, yet agile, human-first approach built on extensive operational experience in the Fortune 500 and VC-backed startups in HR, finance, sales and other functional areas.

I think we're going to look at the way that the human brain is built. And what it is the video actually does to the human brain than other pieces of content or types of content, or media doesn't do. So, you know, humans at the moment are living in an overstimulated environment compared to what we were designed to actually exist in. And so what we've got is we've got this continual stimulus in our brains, and then it's you know, an overstimulation is almost become the norm. So in order to attract attention, in order to drive business and be seen and heard, you actually have to spike human attention even further.

"I made the opportunity to have the stories, what I was really afraid of was getting old and looking back and regretting all of the things I hadn't done. Because I wasn't supposed to do that. Because I needed to focus on my career or because something bad was gonna happen to me. I just had marvelous adventures and found the stories I was looking for no regrets."

I tell a story about a very rough crossing, where I was in my little boat, my lights went out. And I was in very rough seas. And there were these ships all around me. And I mean, in the beginning, I've seen people start to show signs of physical seasickness. When I tell the story, people get pulled into that story. But after a few minutes, I don't have much time. And at some point, I say, Have you ever felt like that in your business? Like you're out there in those rough seas, and there's no lights on and these big opportunities are going by you, and they can't see you, they run you right over and never even know it?

As a young man, Dave Bricker was inspired by the remarkable people he met in Miami’s “secret floating village.” The sailboat anchorage a quarter-mile off-shore from Miami City Hall attracted world travelers, squatters, and dreamers. All had remarkable stories to tell.

By his senior year in college, he was living aboard his own tiny sailboat. Soon after graduation, he set sail for the Bahamas with a locker full of food and dreams … and $40 in his pocket.

His voyages took him up and down the Bahamas, up the east coast of the US to Chesapeake Bay, and across the Atlantic to Gibraltar. He ran aground, dealt with mechanical breakdowns, got seasick more than once, slept in a volcano, survived powerful storms, and returned to the land of clocks and calendars with what he’d gone in search of—stories of his own.

Today, as a speaker, trainer, and coach, Dave Bricker helps remarkable people tell remarkable stories—through writing, speaking, graphic design, video, technology, and music. If you want to say it, share it, or sell it, bring him your story; he’ll help you tell it.

“Customer Experience is about people, how do people want your brand, stay loyal to your brand, refer your brand and it's about the human aspects, not just process, and not just about price tags.”

What is it like when a customer signs the contract, or buys a product or service? What's that experience going to be from that point on? It has to be intentionally designed, depending if it's a service or a product, and how it's delivered and set up and used.

20:00 Stacey Sherman’s Inspiration

In a world in which impersonal customer interactions are the norm, Stacy Sherman is an empathetic customer experience (CX) pioneer who has devoted her career to leading with a heart and creating lasting customer loyalty through engaged employees. Recognizing the humanity in others is critical to any business’s success. Whether a company is marketing to other businesses or consumers, its ultimate audience is an individual. There is a person at the other end of every campaign and communication; for businesses that desire to be competitive and acquire customers, making a human connection is critical.

Passion & Dedication

Stacy’s mission is to help brands delight customers, meet their needs, and create superior experiences that build not just relationships but lasting, meaningful connections with people. Through her company, DoingCXRight, Stacy advocates for the humanization of business and delivers a framework rooted in the customer. Stacy’s approach aligns cross-functional teams from critical parts of the organization—sales, marketing, product, and leadership to allow stakeholders to deliver a customized customer experience that goes far beyond price of services or goods.

Proven Methodology

Applying a holistic view of CX, Stacy incorporates employee engagement strategies to realize positive client outcomes. Engaged and happy employees are also loyal and satisfied customers. Stacy partners with clients to execute an integrated, measurable CX strategy that increases customer loyalty and satisfaction, heightened brand value, and reduced market friction. In 2019, she led the first-ever annual CX Day at Schindler Elevator Corporation to drive awareness of the importance of customers’ experiences and show gratitude to employees for their efforts in delivering superior customer service. After its initial success, the company adopted and transformed the program into an entire week dedicated to recognizing CX as a strategic imperative across the global organization. Further, she collaborated with leadership to drive historic customer satisfaction and net promoter scores (NPS) and achieve a year-over-year CAGR of 6%.

Continuous Learning & Improvement

Stacy is committed to developing the next generation of talent, and coaches and mentors those who are looking to break into the field. She has been featured in multiple publications, including Forbes and Psychology Today. She has also received numerous awards and accolades for her leadership in the field, including CX Leader of The Year. In addition, Stacy is a vocal advocate for workplace diversity and inclusion and promotes recruiting and developing talent from underrepresented groups. The results of these efforts are immediate and remarkable—heightened competitiveness and improved productivity. She continues to drive cultural transformation by creating environments focused on empathetic leadership, stakeholder accountability, and open and honest communication among tea

To develop trust, you've got to be consistent, when you're not consistent, your employees see that and if they start seeing that you treat others differently, that’s when trust is broken.

You've got to be able to learn how to build trust, do it in small doses, one task at a time, where you feel comfortable, then they are going to do what you need them to do.

I am a combination of entrepreneur, international speaker and showman. My presentation is an inspiring blend of business smarts, engaging storytelling and live opera! As the co-creator of the world’s most booked corporate entertainment act ‘The Three Waiters’, my compelling stories and key take-home messages are a ‘must see’ for conference attendees worldwide. I have addressed audiences at over 100 conferences around the world, and was a star speaker at the world famous 'Million Dollar Round Table’ in the USA.

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT MY KEYNOTE ADDRESS

I draw on more than 25 years of experience as an award-winning performer and theatrical producer to deliver a motivational ‘walk-the-talk’ address. I deliver a number of ‘how-to’ messages that can be applied to their own lives and businesses. My audience is inspired to realise that it’s their time to shine and to see that peak performance can be achieved time and time again. My unique ability to include live opera allows me to emotionally engage with an audience and THAT’S when the real learning occurs.

We teach people to separate the person who we love from their deeds, which we may not love and we teach them to discern, to be specific, so when we say giver, we're not labelling a person, we're labelling their deeds.

We want to discern and listen to the right people. ask the right question to the wrong person, you get the wrong answer. Ask the wrong question to the right person, you get the wrong answer. We need to ask the right question to the right person and that's a really good, solid mentor.

It's not about how many contacts you make anymore, it's about how deep you go on each conversation, how good you are trust building, not how good you are, what your network is, or how many contacts you make.

You have to say this,” I’m giving you a call to see if you have any feedback on our previous conversation, any feedback on our last meeting, any feedback on our proposal, and remember feedback is going backwards, not forwards. Because the goal is not to create momentum in the process momentum puts pressure on people, and pressure creates rejection”

I think a lot of people drift into scaling by just growing?

I want to help people scale businesses, by getting them on the right track. I share what experts tell me and my own successes and plentiful mistakes so you can avoid them. I love to write and speak about all things entrepreneur related.

I passionately believe that a healthy economy lies in nurturing and encouraging microbiz and
SME businesses. Now more than ever, we need both solid start-ups and savvy scale-ups.

I have been involved in many campaigns of different sorts to encourage entrepreneurs
throughout my working life both in the UK and in Europe generally.

I have several decades of experience of both micro and SME’s of my own. I have known some success, shiny awards, and some failure too. All of which added up to huge amounts of learning.

I am now lucky enough to now be living my childhood dream of writing full time. I write about entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship and hope that this too is useful, entertaining, and supportive. The entrepreneurs I speak to leave me in regular awe.

You can see more on my own web site, plus Medium and various other publications. I also guest podcast and do other speaking, though virtually in current times.

"So if you sit next to somebody every day, and they have a meat pie or a pizza for lunch, then you're more likely to want to have a meat pie and pizza - a negative influence on you. If you're the type of person that gets up and has their lunch break away from their desk and does a quick walk around the block before coming back into the office, that's a positive behavior, then that person who sits next to you is more likely to be influenced in that way "

"Fear is to the human being what gravity is to the planet. It is a force "

"Most ski instructors, even though they're excellent, extraordinary skiers, they may not be the best instructors. Because they say let me show you how to do it. Now you just do what I did. Well, if people could do that, that easily, they wouldn't need the instructor and that and that plays out into so many types of training, even into business."

13:14 Fear as a motivator
15:33 Relying on Senses
19:07 Fear failure
20:49 Culture

The greatest barrier to health, wealth and happiness is fear. Personal, professional and organizational choices or decisions are typically made from a place of fear. Stress, anxiety, dread, panic, shame, even the aversion to work, are just a few of the manifestations of fear. Why isn't this addressed? Because we’re afraid. Fear isn’t our friend – but it could be?

Innovative leaders need to be fearless. I help executives evolve above a fear-based existence by developing the ability to face, embrace and ultimately befriend fears that defeat lesser teams.

Barry Moniak is a fear expert. My vocation is Trusted Advisory Consultant. My avocation is Certified Ski Instructor. Both require the integration of a fearless mindset and skillset – literally having to befriend what at times we fear most.

As a national business leader, I transformed a 97% attrition rate of newly hired salespeople into a 97% close rate in the first month. Today, my clients achieve the same kind of results by getting their teams to befriend fear just as expert skiers befriend black diamond slopes. They literally transform the energy of fear into innovation, inspiration, motivation and momentum.

My approach to fearless leadership consulting, therefore, is to disrupt the status quo and foster a fearless culture. I get mindful leaders to develop an eagerness to face, embrace and befriend their fears. It takes courage for executives to address their own fears, but when they do, it exponentially enhances their capacity to help their teams do the same.

When we understand who our people are, what they're afraid of, and why they function as they do under pressure, we know how each needs to be led.

Graduating from college with a degree in civil engineering has enabled my ability to plan strategically and thoroughly to help organizations like yours. Attending law school made me analytical and a tad direct. This made my entertainment business as a magician, then as mentalist and humorist quite interesting.

The late 1990’s delivered to me the Thought Emporium, to provide services to the community to improve communication skills and mindsets for corporations, associations and charities.

"Happiness makes money.  I think that that says is all because a lot of companies
still work in the traditional way, the way Henry Ford started business, this is how you are going to do it, and you have to do it,  and please perform and be productive. That's what a lot of management still says to their employees."

"Now, instead of whipping people, we should encourage them to be happy because they are about 20%. more productive."

Paul Ter Wal, a certified speaking professional (CSP) and holder of a Masters Degree in Law  discusses how happy employees make businesses more profitable.

11:29   A new way of leadership ?
15:44  WFH and Culture 
20:44   The 10000 hour rule ??

My approach is called: Value-to-Profit: how aligning of the core values of a company with the non-negotiables of the employee will increase profitability in the broad sense. My model gives steps to support company culture, increase engagement and profitability on a scientific basis.

I support profit and not-for-profit organisations to develop and implement new engagement, vitality and sick leave concepts, life and online. With the 7 keys of Talent Management Engagement as ROI. My services are connected to a) what I do best and b) get my clients real results.

In this episode Phil Preston, a Purpose Expert, speaks about 

• What has been your journey to 'purpose'?
• Why is purpose in business important?
• Can it grow the bottom line and, if so, how?
• How should owners and operators approach it?
• What is a good first step?

As a former research head overseeing $50 billion of investments, I became frustrated with poor corporate behaviours and symbolic acts of charity. In 2007, I left that ‘comfortable’ life to find a better way - one where taking on social and environmental challenges is part of core and profitable business, and where people and organisations work together more effectively.

Since then I’ve worked in the purpose, shared value and collaboration fields by guiding organisations, assisting projects and collating case studies. I work with small-medium enterprises through to multi-national corporations and everything in between, as well as helping not-for-profits develop deeper partnerships with businesses.
