How Did You Learn That?

Andrea is a communication coach. She's an expert in Consumer Psychology, and word of mouth. She has an insatiable obsession with understanding - “Why you said whatever you just said.” 

Andrea created Talk about Talk, which is a learning platform to help others boost their confidence and improve their communication skills. In our conversation, we specifically unpack the topic of personal brands. 

Whether you are running your own business or you’re working in a job, hoping for a promotion, many decisions that impact your success are made without your presence in the room. Having a personal brand means owning the narrative of what others say about you when you're not physically present - and my conversation with Andrea unpacks how to go about owning yours.

Please sit back and enjoy my conversation with Andrea Wojnicki.

My guest this week is Gwyn Wansbrough.

Gwyn is an independent facilitator, learning experience designer, and course creator. She focuses on empowering educators and team leaders with the skills to make learning more creative. Her focus is human-centered learning, with an emphasis on group learning.

Her extensive experience has taught her that the best group experiences combine world-class content, with engagement and connection. But it's the engagement and connection that are often ignored or left behind. Facilitation is the key solution to address this issue. With more people learning and working online, facilitation is quickly becoming a leadership super skill for the future.

Gwyn has a number of useful exercises, activities, and tools you can use to create better group experiences - whether that's an online course, a team meeting, or even your next Christmas gathering. So next time you're in a group of people gathering online, think back to this conversation with Gwyn - and bring your best facilitation skills to the fore.

Please sit back and enjoy my conversation with Gwyn Wansbrough.

He's the co-author of the award-winning book, Lean UX, and the creator of the methodology that goes into Lean UX, which has gone on to inform the way hundreds of companies approach software design and product design.
