February 06, 2019How To Have Difficult Conversations | Dawn Metcalfe
Have you ever lost someone or something you really cared about because of miscommunication?
The truth is everyone loses when difficult conversations go wrong. And even if things are eventually resolved, we can’t erase the impact stress and conflict have on our bodies, or get back time that was wasted talking about things that didn’t matter.
Dawn Metcalfe is an author, public speaker, Managing Director of a Successful Training Organization, and the creator of Hard Talk. Dawn says that the reason so many people struggle with difficult conversations, is that they let the Homer Simpson in them come out. I bet you didn’t realise that we all have our own version of Homer Simpson hanging out inside out mind!
Homer does what feels good in the moment. So if someone says something that makes us feel threatened (in any way), our gut instinct is to defend our position and in many cases go on the attack.
Dawn says the person we should let control difficult conversations is Mr. Spock. The voice of reason that focuses on getting the outcome we want.
Look for more truth bombs in this episode including:
Her assertion that very few people are psychopaths
What we need to know about fundamental attribution bias (and why)
The importance of defining your purpose before starting a hard talk
How to recognize when your at risk of falling into the Spiral of Doom
The only 2 reasons people don’t change their behaviour

February 04, 2019How To Teach The Art Of Thinking | Ron Malhotra
How can we expect our children to succeed if we don’t teach them to use their minds?
Having grown up in the knowledge economy many parents still believe that the key to success is knowledge. What they don’t understand is that information is no longer the problem. Knowledge is no longer the commodity.
In this episode Ron Malhotra talks about the importance of teaching our children:
How their mind works
To manage their thoughts and ideas
To apply discernment
To understand the language of money and business
To be 100% accountable for the things that happen to them
The importance of respecting your body
He explains why wealth and success have become dirty words and why that is a bad thing.
He explains how he defines success and why he believes everyone should have purpose, strive to be the best version of themselves, and to use their potential to make a difference for others
He attributes rising levels of anxiety and mental illness to the reality that as we grow older we anchor ourselves to negative emotions, and over time the power of our brain to auto correct gets dimmed.
He shares with us the five foundational elements of life, and reminds us that
all of the answers are within.
Ron is an Award-Winning Wealth Planner, Influence & Success Expert, Author of 4 Books, Radio Host, International Public Speaker, MD of Maple Tree Wealth, Founder of ‘The Successful Male Global’ & Creator Of The Success Blueprint Program.
Ron’s been featured in Australian Financial Review, Money Magazine, Smart Investor, Entrepreneur, ABC & more...

February 01, 2019 How To Start Over Even When It Scares You| Judi Fox
A lot of people dream about starting over. Judi Fox did it.
At the age of 38 she took everything that would fit in her car, her son, and 1 cheque, and started a new life. The transition included a remarkable 4 year hiatus from Social Media Content Posts.
Remarkably she recorded a video blog with her young son, shooting video virtually every single day (those videos have never seen the light of day). Judi also threw herself into personal development, and in her words soaked up content and knowledge.
To pay the bills she continued her work as an environmental engineer, first as a consultant and then spent 2 years as an employee. In January of 2018, Judi had reached the point of waiting for the weekend. She puts the blame on herself. She’d had a taste of being on her own, and with all her new found talent she just knew that she had to try something radically different.

So she quit her job and turned to the world of LinkedIn video to make her mark. Nine months later she had accumulated a remarkable 3+ million Video and Content views.

In this interview Judi talks about the struggles many of us face when trying to find our real purpose and direction in life. And then the two of us get into a lively discussion about the do’s and don’t of posting video content on LinkedIn.
High energy, smart, and proving that change is always possible.

January 30, 2019Why Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge | Bob Sager
“The only people who are going to get hurt are the ones wishing for a past that doesn’t exist anymore.”
Bob Sager is excited about the future driven by advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Automation. He acknowledges that some people are losing jobs, but says this is actually freeing people up to work at jobs that are more fulfilling and quite likely higher paying.
The trick is people need to focus on things machines can’t do. At the top of this is innovation.
Bob is the founder of Spear Point Solutions,an innovation specialist, and facilitator of Personal Achievement and Practical Innovative Thinking Training Workshops.
In this episode he shares:
Why he home schooled his youngest children
Why learning to think innovatively is no longer a nice to have
What he believes humans do that machines can’t do
Reminds us that Einstein said imagination is more important than knowledge
His certainty that companies are not employing people to their abilities
His understanding of Millennials that don’t see glory and fulfilment in working 30-40 years for one employee
Why people need to be trained to be adaptable
His view that age is not a barrier to innovation and change
Why his first job after college was the best thing that happened to him (because it sucked)
Reminds us that Innovation does not have to mean quantum leap
