45 min - MEGAN MACNEILL - A Matter of Relevance - Ep. #48
Hi, I'm Megan!
I am all of the following (in no particular order)…👑 A Personal Branding Strategist.🔵 A Scottish lass living the dream in Oz 🟡🐶 A dog lover but somehow a slave to a cat 🐱💡 Overly excitable and love coming up with new ideas‼📖 Part of a book club, where we actually read the books (and drink wine) 🍷🙋♀️ A tall girl in a short girls body🍸 A gin snob💦 I love to be by the water📣 Will talk to a brick wall if I think it's listening….And why does any of that matter? Simple - because whether I like it or not, they are all part of my personal brand and let you make a decision about me.We have no control over what feelings our personal brand has on individuals personally but we do have control over what information we put out and how we distribute it. So perhaps next time, I'll leave out the gin-loving part.You are not generic, so why should your online presence be?I work with you to realise the power of your very own personal brand and support you to build and maintain it to reach your goals and aspirations.I also do LinkedIn training with executives and their teams as well as 1-1. Linkedin is the perfect place to position yourself as an expert in your industry, sector, niche (whatever you are chasing).We live in a world where information is at our finger tips 24/7. We don't trust what we can't see and what isn't authentic (sorry, overused but so very relevant). I work to make sure my clients tick all the boxes to win more clients of their own.https://relevantbusiness.com.au/About your host:

42 min - Lis Cashin - This is Me - Ep. #47
Lis helps to unlock potential and transform mental wellbeing through speaking, consultancy, training programmes and through her self-help memoir THIS IS ME. She works with individuals, organisations and schools/youth organisations.
Following experiencing major trauma as a teenager and having no help to process what had happened, for many years life was a struggle. Lis dreaded going to work, relationships were a challenge and she often felt she had no control over what was happening. She felt that she should be happier, more successful and should be able to just get on with things. But she wasn’t and she couldn’t.
Then on a sales training course (of all places!) Lis had a wake-up breakthrough moment that was the start of a complete turnaround. It led her on a quest over the past 30 years to discover more about who she was, the impact of trauma, how to develop positive mental wellbeing and create a life and business which she loves.
Now she is passionate about sharing all she has learned so that others can do this too.

16 min - Jo Berry - Resolving Conflict - Ep. #44
Building Bridges for Peace was founded in 2009 by Jo Berry to promote peace and conflict transformation around the world. Jo now works around the world, recently in India and South Korea plus important work in schools around the UK. She is passionate about young people, empowering them to be positive change makers and develop resilience and emotional intelligence. She believes everyone deserves a voice and creates safe places for people to open up and be heard.
Jo founded the charity after losing her father Sir Anthony in the Brighton bomb in 1984 and since 2000 she has been working with the ex IRA combatant Patrick Magee who planted the bomb. In the last 20 years they have spoken together over 300 times and Jo draws on this experience in all the work she does. She speaks with Patrick a few times a year and there are several events coming up to mark the 20th anniversary of their first meeting. .
The lessons she has been learning are now part of her work in demonstrating the power of empathy, how we can not choose revenge and blame. Above all she is working for a world where no one is demonised, where everyone has their truth and we find ways to resolve conflict so all win.
