Welcome to Episode number 19 of the mums in biz podcast! This week I have interviewed Sepideh Moussavi, the founder of Prime Institute and we talked all about how to build bridges between different cultures and how to work and live together peacefully. Prime Institute offers consulting, coaching and training on cross-cultural topics such as cross-cultural etiquette, communication, diversity and much more. This is such a relevant topic not only in Dubai where so many different nationalities live together peacefully but also in the whole world which is becoming smaller by the day. I always love talking to Sepideh whenever I meet her at events, she has so many interesting stories to share, she is so active in so many communities and honestly just has a super interesting life and personal story. Sepideh is originally from Iran, she has lived a big part of her life in England and I have met her here in Dubai. We talked a little bit about her personal story and how she got to where she is today and of course she shared so much wisdom about cross-cultural understanding, how to deal with different cultures when we travel, in our work environment and during our every day life. And how important culture is in our everyday life and how in influences our relationships and life on an every day basis. And as she is has started numerous businesses herself over the years she has a lot of great tips for us business owners as well. I am sure there is something for everyone in this episode so let's dive right in and enjoy listening!

In this week's podcast Emilia interviews Kyla all about her strategy for Linkedin and connecting with potential clients in an authentic way. For more than a decade Kyla has been using this platform to build her career and also her business and it has proved to be so valuable in growing her network steadily and consistently making good business sense. With 260 million monthly active users, LinkedIn may seem like your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Who wouldn't want the opportunity to sell their product or services to 260 million people? However, if you think blasting LinkedIn users with connection requests is the way to go, put the brakes on your plans and rethink your strategy. Since you're not approaching LinkedIn with a sales approach mindset, you need to make every aspect of this platform work to your advantage in order to both attract prospective clients and then convince them that you are the expert they've been searching for. One way to achieve this is by showcasing your expertise in a natural, informative way which leads to increasing your credibility as an expert. Dive into this episode and learn 5 ways you can increase your credibility to attract your ideal clients on LinkedIn. There are even a couple of bonus tips at the end to really sky rocket your profile to give you that unique edge. Enjoy and we will see you next time here on the Mums in Biz Podcast. ______________________________________________________________ Kyla Neill Business Coach + Mentor Website: www.succeedinginheels.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/succeedinginheels Facebook: www.facebook.com/succeedinginheels Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/kylaneill Emilia Ohrtmann Website Designer & Consultant Website: www.emiliaohrtmann.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/emiliaohrtmann Facebook: www.facebook.com/emiliaohrtmannco Youtube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCfo4H-IQ91K7WrjbOwn34ig Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/emiliaohrtmann

In this episode Kyla and Emilia talk about the fun challenge they held in their online Mums in Biz Facebook Group last month. They had such fun jumping on daily "lives" within the group to take them through a five step process to get their members to rethink their business, re-energise and motivate them. Defining or Redefining Your Business in 5 Days is the perfect way to increase clarity within your business, have a clear direction, tap into your WHY and really map out what the rest of 2019 is going to look like for you. We tend to get so focused on working "in" our businesses and rarely step back and work on how we want to show up in the world as entrepreneurs. This challenge was perfect to uncover some aspects maybe you haven't thought of before or properly defined. The steps covered were: Your Vision Statement Your Ideal Customer Your Onliness Statement The Business Essentials Your Mission Statement Grab a pen, your journal and a quiet space and take notes and challenge yourself to get clear on your business.
