Our purpose of this conversation was to show that valuing and respecting our people within the organisation is so important when building a physical and psychological safe place to work.

You can’t show up as your best self if you are consistently being de-devalued.

People feel safe and valued when they are acknowledged and thanked for their work that they do.

So where does positive change actually start?

Our purpose of this conversation was to unpack the definitions of Motivation, Competency and Proficiency, what motivates someone to move from competency to proficiency, what de-motivates someone, and what type of conversations need to be had to resolve the industry gap.

Julie wants viewers to understand the importance of understanding what gets people to go from competency to be motivated to strive for proficiency.

How can leaders encourage proficiency in the workplace? Who is responsible for motivating the workers?

In this episode, Julie has a conversation with the CEO of the Resource Training Council Rodo De Boer to really dig deep to understand how training can support people to strive for proficiency.

(09:20) - What is competency?

(14:10) - What is proficiency?

Episode Disclaimer: Remember this is a personal podcast. Any views or opinions represented in this podcast are personal and do not represent those of people, institutions or organisations that the owner may or may not be associated with within a professional or personal capacity unless explicitly stated. 

Our purpose of this conversation was to show that activism is NEEDED within an organisation to promote positive change.

Activism and advocacy work hand in hand within an organisation.  and if they can be heard with an open mind and acceptance, then amazing change can happen.

This flashback talks about the role leaders play in teaching their people how to approach activism, and is pivotal to being resilient. Taking the approach of being data point driven, noting down events that have occurred in chronological order, and taking the emotion out of the story, for now - all goes towards being able to achieve the end goal, of change.

Leaders, feedback from your people is essential towards being able to self-navigate the challenge of listening to hard stories.

This builds TRUST!

This flashback is taken from episode 7. In this flashback you’ll hear:

(01:00) - What can an organisation do when someone is saying “no, it’s not enough”?

(01:53) - How can leaders have the conversation that is needed to start change?

(03:00) - Tip for leaders to allow employees to give and receive anonymous feedback

This was such a great conversation with Tracy. We would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this topic. We are fueled by the knowledge that these conversations help people feel more connected and comfortable with having important conversations that make a difference.

‘Conversations with Julie’ acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which we all live, paying respect to elders, past, present and emerging. Julie honours the idea that shared stories are what connect us to the land, our ancestors, and each other. 

Our purpose of this conversation was to show that being an activist has nothing to do with anger, it's not about blaming or arguing. In fact, activists are a HUGE part of how things change for the better.

Julie wants viewers to understand that activists are needed within organisations, cultures, and communities. They provide necessary disruptions to get people to stop and see the hurt that is happening.

So, how is activism appropriate in the workplace? Activists use facts to start the journey of change. They are supported by advocates who provide knowledge and education.

In this episode, Julie has a conversation with activist and whistleblower Tracy Tully, to really dig deep to understand the HEART of activism.

(03:30) - What are the ground rules for being an activist?

(13:45) - How honouring yourself keeps you courageous?

(31:40) - How do we really create change?

(37:30) - How do we listen to someone who has been hurt?

(48:38) - What does activism look like in an organisation?

Our purpose of this conversation was to show that being ‘salesy’ has got nothing to do with a sales conversation. In fact, building a relationship and connecting within your values is the very foundation of being both human and a sales person.

Julie wanted viewers, especially those in small businesses, to understand that selling your products and services are essential and the mindset about this needs to move from one of being transactional to relational.

How has this got anything to do with every person? Well, at some point you are going to need to ask to be heard, go for a promotion, apply for a new job, or ask someone out on a date… the techniques that we unpack in this conversation will support you during these times.

In this episode, Julie is having a conversation with Sharon Davies, Founder and Managing Director of Sales 2 Success.

(14:30) - How talking AT can negatively impact a conversation

(20:40) - How to start building trust in a new professional or client relationship

(21:25 ) - How sales and everyday conversations are the same - what puts people off (discord) and what gains resonance

(27:40) - How leadership support defines conversations that people are having with their clients

(30:18) - Knowing your value can ensure that you can have alignment in relationships. This can look like confidence, “I am wanting to bring my value and have it valued.”

This was such a great conversation with Sharon Davies. We would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this topic. We are fueled by the knowledge that these conversations help people feel more connected and comfortable with having important conversations that make a difference.

Our purpose of this conversation was to show that being ‘salesy’ has got nothing to do with a sales conversation. In fact, building a relationship and connecting within your values is the very foundation of being both human and a sales person.

This flashback really talks to the heart of “What’s the alternative to talking AT someone?” We find in this conversation with Sharon Davies, that talking WITH someone is a conversation that builds trust.
