Starting a business entails understanding and dealing with many issues—legal, financing, sales and marketing, intellectual property protection, liability protection, human resources, and more. But interest in entrepreneurship is at an all-time high. And there have been spectacular success stories of early-stage startups growing to be multi-billion-dollar companies, such as Uber, Facebook, WhatsApp, Airbnb, and many others.

In this week's podcast episode, Neil Osborne will give us an overview of the key steps for entrepreneurs who are starting a business and address some of the topics in more depth.

There are no limits on who can become a great entrepreneur. You don't necessarily need a college degree, a bunch of money in the bank or even business experience to start something that could become the next major success. However, you do need a strong plan and the drive to see it through.

If you're an entrepreneur, odds are you already have the drive, but you might not know how to start building your empire.

That's why we're here. Don't miss this episode!

In the age where becoming your own boss is becoming the order of the day, the dream of entrepreneurship and the realities of entrepreneurship often present a harsh reality that not everyone is ready for. However, does mean that one should walk away when the going gets tough?

While the coronavirus has eliminated the majority of face-to-face business interactions around the world, it has not eliminated the need for companies to engage their customers. In fact, customer engagement has never been more vital: Not only might it help companies develop alternative streams of revenue in the current moment, but it could also offer a significant advantage when the economy reopens.

In an era when the populace needs guidance and information, and when people place more trust in Amazon and Google, it is up to businesses to serve as reliable resources for their customers and their communities. By wielding their expertise to educate the public at large, they can benefit both society as a whole and their customers specifically.

In this week's podcast episode, Nicole will be speaking with Katie Budd on how to engage with your clients and customers while still following Covid-19 protocols.

Katie is an accomplished sales professional with over 17 years of experience.

Being a nurse is not a profession for the faint-hearted. Nurses deal with life, death, and everything in between.

It’s a common misconception that nurses simply carry out the doctors’ orders. Nurses are front and centre, monitoring patients’ responses to prescribed interventions and notifying physicians when unwanted or negative outcomes arise. Nurses are responsible for all orders that are carried out, including those that are wrong or contraindicated.

As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic accelerates, global health care systems have become overwhelmed, leading to great psychological pressure on nurses in the care of critically ill patients with COVID-19. Nurses can make a significant impact on global health, if only they feel empowered to take their seat at the political table.

In this week's podcast episode, Nicole will be speaking with Adj A/Professor Elissa O’Keefe RN, NP. Elissa is a health industry pioneer, a highly-experienced clinician and educator and was the first nurse practitioner in the ACT.

She has an honorary appointment as an Associate Professor in the College of Adjuncts at the University of Canberra in the Faculty of Health and is a member of the Galderma Global Nurses’ Group. Elissa was the former Chair of the Australian College of Nursing Cosmetic Nursing Community of Interest. 

Listen with us as Elissa talks about empowering health care professionals especially nurses, philanthropy and her brain-child, Bravura Education.

Communication is about more than just exchanging information. It’s about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information. As well as being able to clearly convey a message, you need to also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what’s being said and makes the other person feel heard and understood.

Effective communication sounds like it should be instinctive. But all too often, when we try to communicate with others something goes astray. We say one thing, the other person hears something else, and misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue. This can cause problems in your home, school, and work relationships.

For many of us, communicating more clearly and effectively requires learning some important skills.

In this first episode of (podcast title), Nicole will talk with Grazina Fechner, Director of Front + Centre Training Solutions. Grazina is a professional media trained presenter and communication expert. You probably knew Griz from Channel 7 variety shows, and we're lucky to launch this episode with her as our first guest.

Listen with us as we deep dive into effective communication, non-verbal communication and how this plays a big role in your day to day life.
