- BCL81 Three Keys to Unlock the Success in any Business
BCL81 Three Keys to Unlock the Success in any Business
Find out the true potential of your business
What are The Three Keys To Your Business Success Ian Dickson Business Performance Coach, Speaker and founder of Unlock Success talks to Steve Hyland about what every business owner needs to know to succeed.
- Knowledge and learning are different. Once we have gained the knowledge we have to take action to cement the learning. This helps develop long term memory and creates new positive habits.
- Mind-set is the key making the changes; I meet many business owners that have limited and constraining beliefs. We can achieve so much more with a positive and open mindset.
- Action… The key here is accountability. By having someone like a business coach to keep you accountable you are far more likely to achieve your goals.. Strategy x Execution = Results.
After 10 years helping small, medium and corporations to grow through some very challenging times I have learnt that there are three very distinct keys that unlock success in pretty much any business. I will share the Three Keys To Your Business Success and provide some tips advice and experiences to help others unlock their own success. There has never been a better time to be in business, so taking full advantage of being a business owner after going through such tough times is critical.

1 hr 6 min - BCL100 Creating Employee Engagement
BCL100 Creating Employee Engagement
Simple ways of looking at communications strategy
Creating Powerful Employee Engagement is essential for businesses today, regardless of size and industry. Justin Roux explains how Employee Engagement makes a huge difference to your business, and why he thinks this is more true in B2B than B2C.
Luvata had a plan for what the company was going to become. They didn’t plan for a 400% rise in the price of copper and an unprecedented global recession.
The plan had to change, the strategy saw some modification and the timeline stretched, but they had distilled a core set of principles from the history of the company they had bought, and had taken time to get to know their people. Those two things took them through three periods – the beginnings, the recession and the regrowth.
Justin shares a lot of stories about how important Employee Engagement is to the success of any business.
Justin Roux, is SVP (Communications) at Luvata Group, also public speaker, former editor and international journalist and has spent ten years living on the fundamentals of communications that he learned from his previous roles. As for the rule book – it made great Origami paper!
This edition of Business Connections Live will be a valuable insight into the clarity and benefits of creating Employee Engagement.
On this edition of the Business Connections Live, Justin will explain:- 3 commandments that will demystify communications
- Success in communications IS measurable
- The fun bits – the creative bells and whistles – are just icing on a disciplined and carefully baked cake
- Why you don’t have to blow enormous sums of money to create a huge impact
- Why you should stop confusing communication with broadcasting
Learn the business fundamentals on how your business can achieve:- Clarity in what the communications function is, and how it differs from, for example, marketing
- Simple ways of looking at communications strategy
- Insight into the measurement of communications success
- Demystification of a function that is… “as is the summer cuckoo – oft heard yet rarely regarded”
- Reassurance that it doesn’t have to cost a fortune!

1 hr 7 min - BCL92 How Do You Get a Non Executive Director
BCL92 How Do You Get a Non Executive Director
Take it to the next stage of development.
How do you get a Non Executive Director? Growing companies reach a point where a non-executive director would add value through challenge and advice; and potentially in a specialised area such as finance, marketing etc. That is, companies seek wider strategic skills to consolidate the business and take it to the next stage of development.
As a small or medium sized company how would you benefit from the experience of a non-exec director? Having an independent voice on the board directly improves decision making, and generally ‘raises our game’. A director with a non-exec position develops governance skills that equally benefit their own company.
On this edition of Business Connections Live we talk to Martin Hawley, the founder of Boardcircle whihc helps small and medium sized companies to experience a non-exec director by sharing some of the director time as non-execs with each other.

BCL90 How To Grow Your Business Abroad.
Time to set sail to new frountiers
Thinking of growing your business abroad? When you plan to take your business to another country, you should carefully take into account and plan how to deal with the differences ahead of you, especially: culture, rules and structure.
It is important to avoid the pitfalls by thoroughly researching your market. Logistics, politics, currency issues. Do you build, buy or ally? What are the cultural differences and how can you deal with them? The importance of and interpretation of the rules of the country you want to deal with.
What you will learnWhen you have decided whether to build, buy or ally, then consider in that context (and be prepared to run backwards and forwards through this list in your thinking – stay flexible!):the cultural differences and how to deal with them;
- the importance of “rules” and whether they are applied consistently – which is interpreted differently from one country to another. Cultures at various levels;
- the importance of planning – getting ready for all the differences in:
- law;
- tax (especially taxable presence);
- corporate structures;
- finance – and funding for any venture; and
- repatriation of funds.
- export businesses will want to consider:
- traditional export, or
- appointing local agent / distributor, or
- franchising model?
- Outward investment models, which can include:
- Representative office;
- Branch office;
- Subsidiary; and
- Joint venture.
What you will achieveThe viewer should have:
- a better overview of the planning process for cross-border trade, especially if they are considering some form of “on the ground” business presence in another country – enabling them to allocate resource to the required steps and form a view of reasonable expectations;
- greater confidence in deciding what issues to deal with themselves and where they might prefer (and possibly – need) to factor in time and cost of obtaining external advice, whether from lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, market entry specialists, inward investment agencies, current business contacts or others.Stuart Miller (co-founding) partner of ebl miller rosenfalck, a niche cross-border business law firm.

The Business of Strategic Eating
How Healthy Eating Can Grow Your Company
Healthy Eating is a fundamental part of everyday life. But how important is it to business owners. Regardless of the size of your business from entrepreneur to multi million pound organisation a healthy eating and wellness regime can have impressive benefits to your business.
Kate Cook, a Nutritionist with 15 years experience talks about how you can ensure your team are delivering with a unique Wellness Programme.
Kate says,”I emphasise the Importance of taking Wellness in companies more seriously/strategically – its been the fluffy cousin to Occupational Health (or Health and Safety). Stepping away from Wellness as employee benefit and looking at Wellness as vital for not only the staff but the bottom line.”
On this edition of Business Connections Live we look at how food and nutrition are “the glue” that binds companies together and gives the vibrant energy needed to be a successful and functioning enterprise. Taking the first baby steps to put in some simple nutritional strategies for yourself – so that if you are leader you are effectively fit to lead.
