Squash down on imposter syndrome by unsquashing yourself We're Making Conversations about unsquashing yourself Count!

"Why am I thinking that? Why am I reacting like that? Why am I getting a little annoyed about this other person's website just because I think it's better than mine... well, what's going on?..."

Trisha Lewis, Making Conversations Count - (March 2022)

Psst! Low on data? Here's a lower bandwidth version for you.

Does Trisha need to help you with unsquashing yourself?

Do you ever feel like you're not good enough?

Do you put yourself down and find it hard to own your accomplishments?

If so, you're not alone.

Many people suffer from imposter syndrome, which is the fear of being exposed as a fraud.

This often leads to us portraying ourselves in a way that is untrue to who we are.

This can be damaging both professionally and personally.

Luckily, there is help available.

Who is Trisha Lewis and what does she bring to this episode of everyone's favourite telemarketing trainer's podcast?

In this week's episode of Making Conversations Count, telemarketing trainer Wendy Harris chats with Trisha Lewis to discuss the importance of communications coaching and learn how it can help you overcome imposter syndrome.

And ultimately how it can help you with unsquashing yourself.

You'll learn:

• What is unsquashing and how does it relate to imposter syndrome?
• How can we recognise when we're squashing ourselves
• What tools we can use today in order to begin the unsquashing process
• What's Trisha's book all about and do you need it?
• How Trisha can further help you

"...that "unsquashy" word is the intriguing one, because obviously, if you don't know me, you'll think, "What the heck is she talking about?" But that's kind of what I do with clients. I unsquash them when I unsquash their business, or help them to, I should say. So, it is all about communication, I mean everything's about communication, and that's my background as an actor, professional speaker; if you like, professional communicator."

"The thing is when they've got that book and it's in paper and it's in their hands, it's almost like they open up a page and the words already start healing them. The fact that they choose to buy the book, it starts to heal them, they've taken that next step..."

Dawn Bates, Making Conversations Count - (March 2022)

Before the dream of being a published author is realised, many people find themselves in an unfortunate position.

Only after listening to this episode of "Making Conversations Count", will you know how to tell the world how awesome your thoughts and words are!

Dawn Bates is a best-selling author and writing coach and an expert in helping people copy words from their brain and paste them down on a document.

You'll learn:

• What type of writer is eligible for that big front end display you see at Waterstones?
• The very real impact writing has on your body, physically
• The challenges of being vulnerable and putting your writing out there
• Wendy's own experience with writing and self-publishing a best-selling book
• The importance of owning your writer voice
• The even bigger important of investing in your authorship

We're joined by Veronica Franklin Gould as we're making conversations about brain health count.

You'll learn:

From poverty to pushing (legal) drugs: billionaire Amazon business expert shares how he achieved the American dream We're Making Conversations about building a business on Amazon Count! Bustling to billionaire

How did this man go from living in poverty to achieving the American dream?

After growing up in what he felt was mediocrity, this week's episode's guest Shaahin Cheyene decided that enough was enough and left Iran for the US.

Once there, he invested all his energy into building a legal alternative to ecstasy- which is still one of America's most popular rave culture drugs.

The secret sauce

He has managed to turn around his life by starting small and working hard until he reached the top of the earning ranks.

He's now living the life many of us dream of, hanging with celebrities, driving fast and expensive cars, and flying around the world first class or in private jets.

What you will get out of listening

This episode will explore how Iranian immigrant Shaahin achieved success in such an unlikely manner, as well as what we can learn from him about entrepreneurship and perseverance. Also, how to apply the systems and processes demonstrated by Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, so that you can enjoy similar success!

You'll learn:

• What Shaahin did to make the start on his new journey
• How you can model Shaahin's process to launch your own successful business on Amazon
• Some useful tips on leverage
• A couple of good book recommendations to inspire

More about Shaahin

Shaahin is considered one of the leading global minds on what’s next in e-commerce, Amazon and the internet.

He is described as the “Willy Wonka Of Generation X” by the Observer and Newsweek and is one of the most forward thinkers in business – with his Amazon Mastery Course he acutely recognises trends and patterns early on the Amazon platform to help others understand how these shifts impact markets and consumer behaviour.

Carrying On The Conversation about using lazy marketing with Al Tepper

(Low on data? Listen to a lower quality version here)

Carrying on the conversation is important, especially when it comes to trench leadership.

In this bonus episode, Wendy Harris and producer Neal Veglio chat about the most recent episode of "Making Conversations Count" with Al Tepper.

They break it down and discuss some of the key 'takeaways' contained within the conversation.

Al talked about how most small (and even some bigger) businesses have owners who can't 'let go' and need to control their marketing even though they have no clue what they're doing.

So then they resort to going to an agency.

And that's NEVER a good idea, according to Al. 

Among the topics discussed:

The concept of lazy marketing and how Wendy and Neal think that applies to most of us in our own businesses.

The huge potentially life changing gift Al has given us.

How we can now feel empowered to not jump on board with every single new idea or platform there is.

Check your business against the Marketing Mastery Score Card:

More about Al:

Al Tepper has 22+ years of strategic and operational marketing leadership experience. Al has worked with large global brands including Accenture, IBM, KPMG, the Guardian along with thousands of smaller organizations.

Al's experience covers almost all areas of the marketing sphere for both business and consumer-facing organizations and he now consults on strategy for small businesses without marketing leaders. He turns business leaders into marketing leaders. Through his consultancy and through his marketing academy.

Additionally, Al also coaches business leaders on content creation and how to leverage Linkedin.
