  • Unlocking Your Entrepreneurial Potential with Human Design - Mic Takeover with Amber Daines
    Have you ever taken an action that feels like it's not in line with your true self?  Or like your business is not helping you fulfil your purpose? 
    In this episode of Influence By Design, Amber Daines takes over the mic and interviews Samantha about a topic she’s very passionate about - Human Design. 
    Amber has a conversation with Samantha about how she uses human design to assess whether partnerships, transactions, and collaborations are good for her and the business.
    By learning more about her human design, Samantha was able to achieve more flow in her business by understanding more about how to operate in her zone of genius.  By doing this, it also helped to recognize what she should take off her plate because it wasn’t in her genius zone. 
    If Human Design is something new to you, and you’re curious to understand how your Human Design affects your business, take a listen to this episode.

  • Innovate or Die: How Forward-Thinking Businesses Stay Ahead of the Game with Rhiannon Simcocks
    Have you ever reached a point in business where you know you needed a competitive advantage, but you weren’t quite sure where to focus? 
    In this episode of Influence by Design, we dive deep into the interesting topic of innovation culture with expert leader and solutionist, Rhiannon Simcocks.
    To be the first is always the hardest. To do something that no one has done before ushers in fear, complete uncertainty, and lots of risk. This is what innovation is all about - carving the path where no one has walked and being responsible for finding the answers to your own questions. 
    Innovation is so much more than tweaking or improving systems and processes, it demands hard work to genuinely do something for the first time and make sure it succeeds.
    During this conversation you’ll discover how you can embrace innovation in business to generate a revolution toward new opportunities.

  • Take Your Influence and Impact to the Next Level with Ian Crawford
    Influence is described as the power to affect or change other people’s behaviour or a situation, but how could you harness your influence to create more impact?
    In this episode of Influence by Design, I share a fun and insightful conversation about how to take your influence and impact to the next level with Ian Crawford. Ian is a leadership and influence expert ingrained with incredible curiosity and a deep-seated desire to help others.
    Not a lot of people are aware that influence starts with themselves. It may sound easy but being able to successfully influence others begins with immense self-reflection and the ability to understand oneself.
    Harnessing impact by leveraging your influence creates meaningful relationships, fosters better communication, and encourages others to look at things from a different perspective. 
    With Ian’s expertise on the subject, you’ll discover ways to take your influence to the next level.

  • Building a Community: Tips and Tricks for Success
    Having many qualifications and a ton of experience does not guarantee that you’ll attract clients. So what can you do to build a strong community that supports your brand and business growth?

    In this episode, Influence By Design listener Bronja Batorijs asks what the best ways to grow a tribe. I cover these questions and highlight the importance of having a community or a group of people who know, like, and trust you.

    Building relationships whether online or in real life gives you visibility and an opportunity for your ideal prospects to get to know you. This helps you stand out from the crowd and be seen as the authority in your niche.

    No matter how many accolades you have, if people don’t know who you are, you’ll never be able to drive business growth. By having a community, you allow people to understand the value you can deliver and how your business can help them solve their problems.

  • Create Your Long-Term Vision For Lasting Success
     Success comes in many forms, but whether it’s personal or professional - true success is almost always achieved by setting and maintaining long-term goals. In this episode of Influence by Design, we talk about how to create your long-term vision for lasting success.

    Crafting a long-term vision for lasting success takes thought, intentionality, dedication, and focus. It involves understanding your values, goals, and dreams, and knowing what you want to create in the world. Developing this meaningful vision is one of the most important things you can do to set yourself up for sustained success. 

    But why long-term instead of short-term vision? Setting long-term goals gives you a better picture of what success looks like to you and outlines the steps it will take to get there. Long-term vision also makes it easier to stay motivated and on track, as well as tackle any obstacles that may arise along the way. 

    Creating your long-term vision might feel overwhelming at first, but it’s an essential part of living your life with purpose and achieving lasting success. In this episode, we break down how to create a long-term vision that resonates with who you want to be and what you want to accomplish in the world.

  • Create More Influence With Your Clients
    As a business owner, creating influence with your clients has many benefits.  It can help you establish your business as a trusted authority in your industry, attract and retain customers, increase sales, gain a competitive advantage, and improve your brand reputation.
    So in this episode of Influence By Design, we discuss the topic of creating more influence with your clients.
    Creating influence goes beyond just focusing on the price point and requires a willingness to give without expecting anything in return. Despite this, it can be challenging to avoid a transactional mindset where every exchange is expected to be reciprocated.
    In this conversation, we share the value of intentional giving without any expectation of a return, which actually opens doors for more opportunities, networks, and relationships for our business.
