May 31, 2021IE93 - Mark Kentwell | Leadership, Mindset & Real Estate
In this episode I chat with Mark Kentwell, an award-winning founder, thought leader, advisor and entrepreneur specialising in real estate, property development, business systems and property technology sectors. We explore leadership, business, entrepreneurship, mindset, personal growth and a whole lot more!
Mark has started or helped build more than 20 Australian companies and trusts with the majority reaching sector leading positions and growth figures of several times industry benchmarks. He is co-founder of PRD Newcastle, Lake Macquarie & Central Coast Group, which he built from start-up into a very successful 8 figure business.
In 2020 Mark was named Australian Principal of the Year for the third time in the Real Estate Business (REB) Awards, as well as a finalist as Industry Thought Leader of the Year three times. In the same year, Mark was ranked the top real estate agent in the Hunter Region and number 26th in the country out of 40,000 agents (across all brands) in the REB annual Top 100 agents list.
Mark has his own particular leadership style that helps gear a business and its organisation structure around having each individual perform at their highest and best use, meaning spending the majority of their time doing things that they are good at, things that they like and that make their heart sing.
We speak about energy and the dance between input and output, the importance of rituals at the beginning and end of your day, and unpack the Be Do Have model which Mark lives by. Our modernised version of work life balance is discussed as well as systems and procedures, and where to automate or humanise these processes.

Key episode highlights include...
Your purpose may have an ROI on itself, but if you look at the secondary and tertiary and other ongoing benefits from it, you can have multiplication in almost everything that you do.

As a leader you always need to remember, what is the best use of my time right now?

There were processes being done by humans that didn't need to be done by humans. And there were things that weren't being done because the humans didn't have time to do them in a human way. Take the time to review and re-engineer your processes and procedures.

Legacy is all about living your flow state as you go, in a way that contributes to people beyond your imagination.
To connect further with Mark you can find him on Instagram and LinkedIn, or check out his work in the world over at PRD Newcastle.

May 20, 2021IE92 - Dave McKeown | Self Evolved Leadership
In this episode I speak with Dave McKeown, the CEO of Outfield Leadership and author of The Self-Evolved Leader - Elevate Your Focus and Develop Your People in a World That Refuses to Slow Down. Dave helps individuals, teams, and organizations achieve excellence by doing the ordinary things extraordinarily well.

We discuss some super practical tips on how to actually run a meeting through a facilitator's lens, why right now it's important to still be flexing our long term strategic planning muscles, how over-communicating with clarity is essential in times of crisis, and why we need to take stock of the lessons from the last 12 months and make them transferable to other situations.

Key episode highlights include:
Craft the intention for your meetings. Share the intent behind why you are speaking about something or why it is up for discussion.

Keep the horizon of focus the same throughout the meeting. It's very hard for folks to switch context.

Re-engage each other around the core guiding principles of the organization - who are we, who do we serve and why, why would people want to work for us, what sort of an impact do we want to have. This is what can give you some motivation and momentum right now.

View your meetings as an experience that people are going to go through. See your role as one of designing an experience that gets to the outcome that you need to and in a way that makes people feel good about it.
You can check out Dave's work over at Outfield Leadership, buy his book at The Self Evolved Leader, or connect with him on LinkedIn and Instagram.

May 12, 2021 IE91 - Corinne Noyes | Madame Flavour
In this episode I speak with Corinne Noyes, the owner and founder of popular Australian tea brand, Madame Flavour. Corinne speaks regularly at women’s business and industry events, is featured in articles on all things tea, slowing down, meditation, work-life balance; and was selected Telstra Businesswoman of the Year finalist. The success of her business has been in its personal approach, authenticity, and stand for the right to a beautiful experience.

In this episode we unpack how Madame Flavour came to fruition, from Corinne's 20 year career marketing for multinationals to creating tea blends from the spare room of her home, and how her skills were so transferable from one career path to another. Madame Flavour is now a household brand with over 200 million tea pyramids sold through major supermarkets, top hotels and airlines.

We discuss creating mindfulness in your day (and how tea can do that!), the challenges of running a business with an international supply chain during Covid, and also Corinne's passion for Australian native foods after discovering Australian Mountain Pepper growing wild on her South Gippsland property.

Key episode highlights include:
- You need to discover the parts of your business (or job/role) that makes you feel good about what you do in life - and focus on that
- It is easy to forget the ripple effect of what we do. Take the time to acknowledge and appreciate that impact that your products make, or your services in the world, as small as they may be.
- Giving yourself time out in a different environment allows you perspective and reflection - don't discount these as part of your business strategy. You need that quiet, thinking time.
- Action tip: at the beginning of your next meeting, have everyone bring a hot beverage and take a moment to take a breath, centre themselves and clear their mind.

March 18, 2021IE89 - Renee Giarrusso | The Gift Mindset
Renee Giarrusso is a communication, leadership and mindset expert. She is a speaker, author, facilitator, educator and coach who works with leaders, teams and organisations to energise mindset and accelerate communication, collaboration and leadership to lift performance and culture.
Her first book Limitless Leadership in 2016 was soon followed by the Leaders of Influence anthology. This episode with Renee is jam-packed with practical tips as we unpack her new book, The Gift Mindset - Unwrap the 12 gifts to lead and live a life of purpose, connection and contribution.
We explore how to apply the Gift Mindset to both challenging and positive circumstances. Also some of the barriers to living a gift mindset.
Renee's stories throughout this episode are really peppered with some immediately implementable actions so make sure to have a paper and pen handy!
Key episode highlights include:
What bookend habits can you develop? What is something that you can do that anchor the beginning and end of your working day?

Don't just confine yourself to one workspace. Change it up according to your mood and tasks being completed.

Ask yourself, what habits are working for me and which ones do I need to rewrite?

Don't use success as a secret weapon, share it with others to elevate the whole organisation.

Try this: when you need a breather from work, open every window in your house, and then shut them again. Not only will it increase oxygen by 200% but it's a great brain break and gets your body moving!
To connect further with Renee, head to her website or find her on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. And of course, check out The Gift Mindset here.

January 31, 2021IE88 - 2021 Success Map Series | Word for the year
Across this 5-part podcast series, I chat with co-facilitator of Leaders Who Give A Damn, Becky Hammond from Isogo Strong on how to create your success map to learn from 2020 and set your sights for success in 2021. We cover topics such as growth mindset, reflection, goal setting, actions, accountability & partnerships, and word for the year.

In this final episode of the series, we dive into your word of the year - again using the supportive Success Map 2021 resource as we go.
The 'word of the year' concept has been around for a really long time (even as far back as the 1940s) and for good reason! It is an intentional theme, an anchor word, to take you through the year and keep coming back to. But if it hasn't dropped in yet, don't despair! Think of the process of figuring out your word as an invitation, not a pressure.
We end on inviting you to bring your word into each day by asking a reflection question: How am I being *insert word* today?

Key points:
Let your word of the year just drop in - don't force it

Your word of the year doesn't necessarily need to be an action-based one - it could convey that you need more space

Allow your word of the year to inspire you and shift your energy

Bring your word into daily action via the process of reflection.

Across this 5-part podcast series, I chat with co-facilitator of Leaders Who Give A Damn, Becky Hammond from Isogo Strong on how to create your success map to learn from 2020 and set your sights for success in 2021. We cover topics such as growth mindset, reflection, goal setting, actions, accountability & partnerships, and word for the year.

In this episode, we delve into actions, accountability and partnerships. Like the last few episodes, we will walk you through this one using the Success Map 2021 workbook.
We speak about how to chunk down goals with tangible steps, the differences between accountability and support, plus how we need to use discernment when choosing the things we want to action.

Key points:
Big goals need to be chunked down to actionable baby steps

Goals don't just get met by being out there

Doing ALL of the things just makes every day overwhelming

You need to enjoy the process of achieving your goals

January 21, 2021IE86 - 2021 Success Map Series | Goal Setting
Across this 5-part podcast series, I chat with co-facilitator of Leaders Who Give A Damn, Becky Hammond from Isogo Strong on how to create your success map to learn from 2020 and set your sights for success in 2021. We cover topics such as growth mindset, reflection, goal setting, actions, accountability & partnerships, and word for the year.

In this episode, we dive deep into goal setting and walk you through the Success Map 2021 workbook on this.

It's proven that people who set goals are happier, healthier, feel a higher sense of achievement and gain more momentum, self-assurance, and self-esteem. We look at what areas you should consider having goals in, the beauty in being really specific and clear in what you want, and why self-care needs to be in there too.

Key points:
Have a mixture of smaller goals and stretch goals

Visualise to enhance your goal clarity

Being the best version of you should always be on your goal list

Bring other people on board to help you achieve your goals

January 18, 2021IE85 - 2021 Success Map Series | Reflection
This is part 2 of this 5-part podcast series, where I chat with co-facilitator of Leaders Who Give A Damn, Becky Hammond from Isogo Strong on how to create your success map to learn from 2020 and set your sights for success in 2021. We cover topics such as growth mindset, reflection, goal setting, actions, accountability & partnerships, and word for the year.

In this episode, we reflect on 2020, and walk you through the Success Map 2021 workbook on reflection.

Reflecting on 2020, Becky and I open up about the year we both had and what themes came through (they may not be what you expect!) and how our core Strengths themes shine through during the reflection process. We also discuss mental health, how there's no switch to make 2021 great, and focusing on how to move past our individual stressors no matter the year or global circumstance.

Key points:
Allow 2020 to bring you wisdom rather than darkness.

Reflect, review, then apply.

Did you pause long enough to celebrate the good things?

When reviewing, ask yourself how could this be better or more efficient?

January 12, 2021 IE84 - 2021 Success Map Series | Growth Mindset
Across this 5-part podcast series, I chat with Becky Hammond from Isogo Strong on how to create your success map to learn from 2020 and set your sights for success in 2021. We cover topics such as growth mindset, reflection, goal setting, actions, accountability & partnerships, and word for the year.

In this episode, we dive into the growth mindset.
No matter what business you're in, something has changed as a result of 2020. So what learnings are you taking from the last 12 months to allow you to transition into this new year?

To allow this growth to take place, we conclude that the most important action you can take is to schedule time for reflection. We also speak about Carol Dweck's thoughts on a fixed v growth mindset and how to value the process not just the outcome, plus touch on The Stockdale Paradox and why confronting our reality is vital to success.

Key growth mindset points:
- Know how you best reflect - is it through talking it out with others? Is it journaling? Or perhaps having some time alone to process it through your mind?
- Review your schedule and discover where you may be filling up your reflection time with other activities.
- In your weekly review cycle, identify your points of Stop/Start/Continue: what do I need to stop doing? What can I start doing? What do I need to continue doing to help me be effective?
