What happens when two sensual sexy and successful women get together and discuss all the taboos they have been taught not to talk about?

With laughter, love and some uncomfortable truths for many, this episode is a homecoming for many, and a call for women to own their ovaries!

Listen to Dawn and Mary as they share wit and wisdom about some of the more challenging elements of understanding compliance in an apparently progressive world - much like the wit and humour in her book with Lisa Fine.

Both Dawn and Mary have travelled to every corner and curve of the globe and span myriad industries and experience levels.

In Mary and Lisa's book, Sending The Elevator Back Down, the experiences they share are a breath of fresh air – both for the young professionals just starting out and for the mature compliance leader with a long history in compliance and ethics. The stories are exceedingly relatable, the lessons universal.

Mary and Lisa have compiled a light-hearted but substantive work as a celebration of women in the compliance space and an encouragement to stand fast in the face of adversity.

What are signature programmes, and how do we price them so low?

Why are so many coaches creating co-dependency with their clients?

And how do we, as clients, build our clients up and then let them go and fly by themselves.

How are taking a break from our clients, or are we keeping our clients small?

Are we really experts, or are we imposters? Can we be both?

Listen to Terri as she describes why the $7 NLP courses on line are dangerous.

(I also realised I talk far too much and should really not ask such long questions!)

Enjoy the show folks!

When it comes to writing a book, you either have the story line all mapped out or you just allow the story to unfold. Many will talk about creating a story mountain, or a beat sheet, or a simple chapter outline with bullet points.

The thing is about writing, you just have to write in a way that works best for you and your style of creativity. Those who prefer structure may map out the characters whole life story, and how each character intertwines with others.

Whilst others know exactly what they want to cover and then fill in the blanks as they go.

It depends on the type of book you are writing, who you are writing for and why you are writing.

Is your book fiction or non-fiction? It is for adults only or can anyone from 11 years and upwards read it?

Do you want awards, accolades, and all the fame and celebrity that comes with being an author? Or do you want a relatively quiet life?

However you wish to create your story, and design your author life, you can pick up a few tips here in today's episode, or you can head on over to https://dawnbates.com/authoracademy and select the #7weekauthorcourse to help you on your way to becoming the author you have always dreamed about.

The statistics for sexual abuse are astonishing, and according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network within the US

- One in 9 girls and 1 in 20 boys under the age of 18 experience sexual abuse or assault

- 82% of all victims under 18 are female

- Females ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault

- The effects of child sexual abuse can be long-lasting and affect the victim's mental health. Victims are more likely than non-victims to experience the following mental health challenges:

- About 4 times more likely to develop symptoms of drug abuse

- About 4 times more likely to experience PTSD as adults

- About 3 times more likely to experience a major depressive episode as adults

Out of the sexual abuse cases reported to CPS in 2013, 47,000 men and 5,000 women were the alleged perpetrators

In 88% of the sexual abuse claims that CPS substantiates or finds supporting evidence of, the perpetrator is male. In 9% of cases they are female, and 3% are unknown

Only when we choose to speak up and share our stories will we be able to support those who have been through any kind of sexual abuse, and bring the preparators to justice... but this will only happen when we put the necessary data and pressure on the police and justice system to take proper action and deliver harsher sentencing.

Victimhood is the fastest growing career field in America, creating a culture where the ability to be offended is so rampant, it shuts down growth, creativity, and positivity.

America has engaged in the longest sustained period of combat for over two decades. Veterans return home to a place and country, which was worse than when they left it.

Confusion, PTSD, alienation and often isolation take hold, leading to mental health issues, suicidal thoughts and deep depression.

This book is a contribution to all who have served, those who have been hurt, as well as people that have been broken, felt like a lost cause, or felt like an aimlessly wandering soul on earth looking for meaning.

This is not a book about leadership examples from a combat deployment or a self-righteous attitude of being the best at everything, nor is it some book on war stories.

This book is about growth, failure, change and ultimately adapting your mindset to get through any given situation.

This is a US Marine’s Mindset for Success.

This is The Recipe.

Is Amazon the litter bin of literature and should those who wish to write a book, do so?

With so many people thinking they can write, are the self published authors creating a mass of badly produced books with no copy editing, badly designed book covers and no proofreading, damaging the reputation of those serious about investing in author success.

Just because KDP, Amazon Publishing and Ingram Spark make self-publishing possible, should people who want to write publish a book?
