I have met many very successful business people, entrepreneurs and artistes who tell me they were the 'tea boy' or girl within an organisation and they learnt so much. I was very sorry to hear that many colleagues are failing/refusing to make tea or coffee for colleagues, rather slinking off to the machine to make their own drink.

Of course, we all have visions of the heroine of "The Devil Wears Prada" struggling with coffee for  her monster of a boss, but the reality is different for most employees and teams! In fact taking your turn making the tea or doing the 'Bun Run" is a great way to network within a company and to raise your profile. How else will you have a conversation with the CEO of a company?

In this podcast I argue the benefits of being a team player and offering to make tea or coffee. So let's get the kettle on!

This is the last in my Election 2015 series where I have focused on communication styles and challenges politicians have to engage with their electorate - AND what we can learn from them.

The election was last night. Like everyone else, I was anticipating a coaltion government ruling. However, at 10.01pm it became apparent that the exit poles were quite different to the opinion poles during the campaigns!

SO I have re-recorded my podcast. It is still about negotiating, but emphasising that if you DON'T include your core values within your minimum requirements, you could lose your supporters. This is what happened to the Lib Dems, to their cost.

Election hecklers are a challenge all politicians have to face. In our lives we also have to manage hecklers: people that interrupt and dominate a conversation. In this week's podcast, I share top tips to managing hecklers.

As you know, it is the UK General Elections in less than two weeks time. We have been featuring various aspects of being a politician; their communication styles and what we can learn from them.

This week we are focusing on Smear Campaigns or accusations that are not necessarily true, that discredit an opponent. In the podcast I share top tips to deal with these accusations in a positive way to save face and avoid as much damage as possible.

As we get closer to the UK General Election, I am including the series on politicians and what we can learn from their communication styles. This week I am focusing on politicians' voices, and in particular, four areas.

There is plenty we can all learn from this area of communication. The podcast includes a recording of a live radio interview from Thursday 16th April when I was interviewed for BBC Radio London. There are some extra points there!

With the UK General Election in May 2015, we are repeatedly seeing politicians appear in debates and discussions on the TV. For our own communication styles with colleagues, contacts and customers.

In our lives we might be conducting an online conference call, or our presentation might be recorded for another audience than the 'live' one in front of you. What do you do to adjust your speaking performance to ensure everyone is engaged?

I share top tips - including checking the technical side, to make sure you not only engage with your audience but also that you come across in a positive way.

In UK we have the General Election in less than 5 weeks. Last night we had the one and only TV debate, with seven political leaders scrapping for air time, to be noticed and the audience vote.

In our businesses we have situations where we are pitching against other people; trying to be noticed for our excellent work etc. This is rather like a political debate with so many people in it.

In this week's podcast, I share top tips to ensure you are notice, listened to, remembered to ensure you stand out in the crowd.
