Success Suite

In this episode, Julie shares how standards of performance are a vital foundation for any business.

If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it and standards provide a reference base for accountability across your business from the bottom to the top of the organisation.

Julie explains the steps you need to follow and the 6 measures to use to set successful and impactful standards.

This is a great episode that explains clearly not only why standards are key but exactly how to set them up in your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A standard of performance is needed within any business regardless of size.
• It’s a yardstick, a thing that we measure the acceptability of an individual’s performance and goes across all areas of a business irrespective of hierarchy
• Standards are attached to tasks and can be raised but rarely lowered.
• If you can’t see it you can’t measure it and if you can’t measure it how can you establish a bottom line.
• Standards should form the foundation for your business and provide accountability so you can hold yourself and others to account.
• If performance falls below the minimum then support and a development plan should be given to raise performance to achieve at least the minimum standard.
• Setting standards gives baseline accountability and makes expectations clear to everyone.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s a great idea to write standards down so everyone is clear’

‘Measure the acceptability of a person’s performance’

‘It works really well when you can make it happen’

This episode is a great opportunity to find out more about Julie as she is in conversation with Adil Amarsi talking about her journey and what has made her the person she is. They discuss the importance of confidence, self-awareness and why sometimes you need to go back to the beginning to find out who you really are. This is a great listen and candid insight into not only the journey but the belief system that has brought Julie to where she is now; taking action and making whatever she focuses on a success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I have always believed that if there is something I want I can make it happen, I’ve created a plan, taken the action and made it happen
• It has meant a lot of learning and personal development and my resilience has come from being adaptable, being prepared to change and always willing to learn.
• Self-awareness is knowing why we do what we do and why we react in a certain way to things. Part of being self-aware is being able to accept and ask for feedback.
• You cannot have two thoughts in your head at the same time so if you are thinking positively there is no room for negativity.
• The fall out rate for people saying they are going to do something then not following through is enormous. The difference is dealing with your own belief system and taking action.
• Confidence is about doing something and its opposite is lacking courage. You can project confidence and not be confident. To become confident, you have to learn about yourself and try things out.
• When you use behaviours that make you appear confident and feedback tells you that’s how you are projecting then you can change your internal voice. Confidence is the perception of a set of behaviours. It is a different perception for each and every one of us because our interpretations are not the same.
• I look at things analytically, if you can analyse from the objective perspective you can create a plan and connect with people to move forward.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I’ve always believed I can have what I want’

‘Strong people request feedback weak people fear it’

 ‘Self-awareness is knowing why we do what we do and why we react in a certain way to things’

Julie is exploring Maslow’s hierarchy of need and explains how the change we are all experiencing has shaken the hierarchy as we all move back to the underpinning level - looking to re-establish certainty for our basic physiological needs – water, food, warmth and rest.

This episode provides a great insight into the underpinning psychology and Julie discusses what it means for everyone and how we all need to step up and remember who we are and what we can achieve if we understand the change and move forward together.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need is a five-tier motivational model of human needs. Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can move to needs higher up.
• Physiological needs – water, food, shelter, sleep. With the current uncertainty, everyone is coming back down to this level.
• Safety – personal safety, employment, health, resources. The rules and regulations of society have changed, the norms of how society works in an environment have been altered.
• Belonging- friendship, intimacy, family, sense of connection. All the ways people gained a sense of belonging before are gone. People are having to rebuild in different ways.
• Esteem- respect, self-esteem, status, recognition, strength, freedom. Think about how you are going to get the appreciation you need to maintain your self-esteem
• Self-actualisation – desire to become the most that one can be. This is where people step up, step out, step over, step through, and round doing something bigger than themselves.
• Physiological needs must be met first before any individual can move through the other levels to reach self-actualisation.

Think about how the hierarchy relates to you and how you can use it to understand what motivates you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can only have one thought at a time, you cannot have a negative and positive thought at the same time. focus on your thoughts being positive’

‘When you are on the bottom level the last thing you want to do is self-actualise’

‘We have to step up and remember who we are and have been’

Julie who has extensive leadership and management expertise and experience and is a property investor reflects on the changes we are all going through and the steps we can all take to move through this period of enforced change.

As we all ‘stay at home’ it’s important to recognise the challenges this brings do that you can take action to make positive steps. Julie provides great practical advice for everyone and also explains the psychology behind why we are feeling this way. Listen in and understand how to manage the change positively.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are three states of conflict
  • We look at ourselves, look at others and look at the problem
  • We look at self  and look at the problem
  • We only look at self
• We are in a change curve and people are at different points in it, we are not psychologically programmed to deal with this. Whoever we are, wherever we are, we need to figure out to get through the next three months. We are all in conflict because of this imposed conflict but we are all in this together so if we work together we can all get out of it together.
• We need to put in any claim for anything that’s on offer. Eat properly, do regular exercise and remember that alcohol and cigarettes make us feel better in the short term and worse in the long term. Think about how you can do more with less.
• Look at how you may need to pivot your business, on the other side things will be different. There will be opportunities for many people.
• This is coming at us from every angle - the healthier we can be, the better we can be, the better things will be, the more we can recognise how it’s affecting us and others the more we can take a professional approach. The more you know the more you grow when you put it into action.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The government is doing a pretty good job of managing us through the change so far’

Stay connected we have to form connections with each other

‘You need to have a quiet determination to get things done’

‘The one that survives is the one that is most adaptable’

Julie is discussing change and the various stages that we go through when change is imposed on us.

Currently, we are all experiencing change together but we will all experience it differently.

Julie brings her 30 plus years of experience in leadership and management where she has worked with people in the midst of change to help us all understand more about the emotional aspects of change and how we can adapt and survive successfully.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Change is something we will all experience differently.
• There are extensive emotional aspects to change, not always recognised in business
• The Kubler-Ross change curve identifies key stages in the change process.
• Ignorance around any change from the existing status quo. People continue to do what they’ve always done.
• People then move to deny that anything has to change. They are not choosing the change so there is denial that it will happen.
• After the denial stage, people begin to accept the inevitable
• When individuals realise and accept that they have to do something different it can potentially lead individuals into a depressive state.
• When people are in a depressive state through imposed change it brings fear and anxiety.
• Those that can actively design and create their futures will be those who will come through a change in the best position.
• If we manage change well we come out of it in a better place than we were previously.
• We will never be the same again because things will never be the same again.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I want to help as many people as I can’

‘We are not choosing this change’

‘We are in imposed change; we have lost our control to do anything about it – we seek to control in other ways to compensate for this’

‘We are not made or created for social isolation’

Julie shares some great wisdom from her extensive expertise and experience about why we need to find connections and interactions with others even if we are physically away from them. She also explores in depth the challenges of being in close and continual contact with others but isolated from wider interaction.

Culturally as a nation in the UK we enjoy our freedom and don’t always respond well to any aspects of control but we are all in a different place now and certainty has been replaced by uncertainty, find out about the ways you can learn respond not react and maintain the social interaction you need, listen in and enjoy finding out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It’s vital for us to be connected and getting the social interaction we need.
• It is not possible to have a positive and negative thought at the same time so we must connect ourselves to as many individuals as we can that are helpful, supportive and positive as this will positively impact on us and our mental well-being.
• It’s vital to be in a position to respond, not react, to any situation or challenge.
• Whoever we are in isolation with, will be those we will be in conflict with.
• If you are in isolation alone you will potentially experience conflict with yourself.
• There are 3 stages of a conflict,  in the first stage we able to focus on others, the problem and self, in the second stage on the problem and self and in the third stage we are only able to focus on self.
• It’s vital to prepare yourself understanding there will be conflict. Prepare yourself to think about how you will respond not react.
• Stress is over-applied pressure and it changes how your body reacts to any situation. Exercise aids your body in moving from an agitated state to a more relaxed state so it’s important to maintain regular exercise.
• How we communicate with other people creates a stimulus in them to either react to us or respond to us.
• How we think and feel affects how we behave, how we behave affects how others think and feel, it’s a cycle.
• It’s vital to create a positive cycle and this is within our control and influence

BEST MOMENTS

‘How often have you ever spent time like together like this previously?’

‘We want certainty in our lives but we work with uncertainty’

‘We all need to seek support to be in the best place we can be’

In this episode Julie discusses how you can adjust your business by introducing flexible working and how you can effectively lead and manage during this time period. She also explains the importance of having an wider consideration for the situation in hand.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When people are working in a remote location you can’t see when or how people are completing work. You don’t know what they’re doing.
• As long as the work is done then it doesn’t actually matter when they do it unless the work has a deadline or you have set working hours.
• The key thing is to have the conversation with your team what work needs to be done and when the work needs to be done by.
• Plan in advance when you’re going to communicate with your team or team members. Utilise the technology we currently have online to communicate.
• Plan the work that you need completed but be careful not to micromanage. Build the trust into the individual by checking in with them every so often.
• Don’t forget that there needs to be greater consideration because people are going to be worrying more about their loved ones that may be more liable to catching the Corona virus.
• Look at the situation first then the other person and then yourself when there’s conflict. Try to think about others first because with conflict there is a natural reaction to think about yourself first.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can do what you want, how you want, when you want.’

‘Communication is key’

‘Get your plan and processes in place.’

 I’ve been playing at it because I didn’t have a wealth mindset’

Julie is reflecting on the tumultuous change she has gone through over the last few years and how this has impacted on her values system.

On leaving her business partnership she experienced a loss of power, control and a loss of a sense of about who she was. Following this Julie had shiny penny syndrome and in this episode, she explores how values and beliefs are impacted by our experiences and offers great advice on how to move forward positively.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If your values are not in alignment with what you want to do you will probably struggle to achieve your goals
• If you don’t have a value for creating wealth how easy are you going to find it to charge for your services and ask people for money?
• If you don’t love yourself how can you love someone else or allow them to love you?
• You can’t change what’s happened but you can change the way you respond to it
• To make the change you have to understand what’s happened
• We all have a voice in our head that comes from our inner conscious it keeps you where it thinks you are safe within a set of limiting beliefs.
• If you don’t get your values in alignment then everything you try and achieve will be so much harder.
• What is a value and what comes first value or belief?
• If you value something it can create a belief, if you believe in something it can create a value.
• Values and beliefs are interchangeable

BEST MOMENTS

‘I have an idea and I react’

‘I haven’t marketed it because I just want to help people it’s about values and vision’

Your values are huge, immense all-encompassing

‘My goals were those hairy arsed scary goals that were huge’

Sometimes we talk a better game than we walk. But how can we ensure that we live up to our promises?

In this week’s show, Julie chats to Kathryne Vere about the art of walking your talk, and discovers that it really starts by knowing ourselves, and by identifying the key principles by which we live our lives. 

Today’s world seems to be one of mistrust and disappointment in those we look to believe in, but how can we restore trust? Julie and Kathryne discuss the ways in which anyone can regain trust through honesty and the nurturing of values.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Julie has walked her talk by clearly identifying the set of principles she lives by, and adhering to them whenever possible. Julie’s top values are:
  • Honesty 
  • Trust
  • Learning
  • Creating wealth
• We may say one thing and do another, because the goal we are driven towards may be an unconscious driver. If we promise something and don’t go through with it, then we need to look at the root causes.
• Alternatively, we also need to talk our walk. It’s a much more reflective practice on the present moment, involving making that promise of future intent.
• We cannot go on ignoring the effect we are having on the planet. We cannot continue to blame others for the problems we are creating. We need to do our part and accept responsibility.
• The journey to our inner selves is long and slow, and sometimes painful. But it is completely necessary if we truly wish to harness our inner power in order to heal ourselves
• It’s no good to separate the parts of us that we don’t like, or wish to improve. We need to be authentic. We need to realise that even our flaws are powerful tools.
• A huge change is required from the business world, no matter how large or small the scale, to encourage everyone to operate more from the heart. To come back into the body.
• Instead of resisting the emotion or feeling you want to avoid, endeavour instead to take a breath, and to truly feel the weight of the feeling. Breathe in the stress, and let your body transform it into positive energy.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Anybody who knows me knows that I tell the truth’

‘We live in a world where lots of people say one thing and do another’

‘We don’t have to get it all right in one go’

’The buck stops with us’

‘What lies behind us and what lies before us, are small matters compared to what lies within us’

‘Who looks outside dreams? Who looks inside awakes?’

‘I perceive us as the clean-up generation’

Julie presents the final part of the 5-part series drawn from her featured chapter in the book ‘Powerful Wisdom from Leaders in the Field’ and in this episode, Julie explores the power of questions and focus.

This is an episode packed with content as Julie explains exactly how to get the focus you need to ask the questions that are transformational. Listen in and find out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Power of questions

• When questions are structured in the right way,  they are one of the most powerful ways to  access your beliefs
• Do you want to spend your life trying to figure out how to get the things you desire or take the guesswork out of it and get on and build the lifestyle you want?
• Identify someone who has already experienced what you are after find out what questions they repeatedly ask themselves to achieve those experiences and use the questions yourself
• When you change your habitual questions, you change your beliefs and when you change your beliefs you change your actions and this leads to a change in results
• When you model the questions used by successful people you are using questions that are guaranteed to result in successful action.

Focus

• Focus is about directing your behaviour so you get a different result.
• Where your focus goes your energy flows.
• Change the direction of your focus to change your results.
• Important choices can be time-sensitive and if you don’t make a decision the opportunity can be lost
• Ask the right questions and you can create a different future if you want to.
• How much do you want to change?
• How willing are you to do what is required?

BEST MOMENTS

‘The better the question the better the answer’

ABOUT THE HOST

Julie Hogbin

I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.

In 2011 I threw everything up in the air and became a property investor via forex, trading and learning how to build websites & internet market whilst walking on fire 😊

I have worked with over 20,000 Leaders at every level of Management and Leadership for over 30+ years. In the latter years working with CEOs, SMTs, boards of trustees & Entrepreneurs.

I have worked with the public, the private and the entrepreneurial sectors of the market. The Leadership messages are the same across the sectors – the application may be different but all are Business’ where Conscious and Principled Leadership reaps rewards for all parties concerned.

I work with the human element of Business and my passion is enabling others to be the best they can be through providing them with the information they need to be more effective than they currently are. Unleashing potential and providing knowledge enabling the best decisions to be made for the Business, the Employee, the Leader (themselves) their families and the greater social economy.

I am a Coach, a Mentor (and I know the difference) Trainer, Author, property investor and public speaker

I love to travel, sunshine, smiley people, intelligent conversation, laughter, learning, networking, supporting others, property as a business, investigating ‘stuff’ problem solving, asking questions that make people think, creating aha moments, gardening and flowers and being outside.
