Of the 30 million Power Point presentations given each day, studies estimate that only 3% are able to inspire and motivate the audience and get their message across. The remaining 97% fail to do so. To which group do your presentations belong? To the 3% or to the 97%?

If you'd like to belong to the 3%, this podcast provides you with four concrete approaches to enable you to appeal to all of your audience members. Biologically speaking, each of us an innate preference for learning and absorbing information. We are born with these preferences and anything else feels weird or off and leaves us demotivated or confused. 

When a presenter addresses your particular learning preferences, you are easily able to absorb the information and grasp the key learnings and are inspired and motivated. When this doesn't happen, you feel lost, bored, overwhelmed or frustrated (or all of the above).

One of the keys to joining the 3% group of presenters is to address all four learning preferences during the course of your presentation. And this podcast will show you exactly how to do that.

Gratitude is strongly correlated to being an optimist and thriving. Gratitude is one of the ten EMOTIONS which form the foundation of positive mindedness (the other nine are listed in this podcast...). Of these ten emotions, gratitude has been shown to be one of the most important as it has the highest leverage on your internal positivity scale. Positivity is good for your physical and mental well-being (I'll tell you exactly why in this podcast...). 

So what's the big deal about gratitude? Gratitude is others-directed and acknowledges the fact that we wouldn't be where we are in life or have what we have without the help, support or contribution of someone else (hence, others-directed and not self-directed). Psychologists argue that it is this gratefulness and humbleness which build overall positivity.

Gratitude is trainable. It's learnable. It's buildable. It's doable. It's figure-out-able.

This podcast shows the traditional way gratitude has been built in the last decade and shows you a new, more effective method revealed in a recent study at the University of California which - if you try it out - will leave you feeling pretty amazing.

In this podcast you'll learn about the results of Dr. Losada's study of high-performing teams while he was a professor at the University of Michigan. Dr. Losada was able to prove the upwards and downwards spiral in team dynamics AND mathematically calculate the tipping point between these two directions. 

Like a see-saw on a children's playground, the tipping point determines the exact moment when teamwork goes downhill and sends the team into negative, cynical, back-stabbing and ego-driven behavior. Or the point where it tips upwards, building positive energy and fostering a can-do, supportive environment, which among other things helps teams master challenging, uncertain times together.

In this podcast I'll reveal the top two factors of high-performing teams and explain the magical tipping point between high and low performing teams.

Teams, by the way, aren't just on the job. Families, spouses, friends and partners are also teams. The results and learnings from his study are applicable to any type of team - on or off the job.

This podcast reveals the results of an intensive, four-year journey Google went on to discover why some teams always seemed to reach their goals, had a low number of sick days, maintained little fluctuation in the team, turned out a higher number of innovative ideas and generally simply had a positive working climate. These were the teams in which employees liked showing up for work and thrived in the environment they were in.

Google wondered if it was just luck (right personalities and skills coming together) or was it something that could be duplicated or implemented in lower-performing teams.

At the end of its journey, Google revealed the top 5 characteristics of these high-performing teams and how they managed to foster such a positive climate . In this podcast I'll shed light on each factor and provide practical tips to help you implement these changes in your own team.

What is outside of your comfort zone? Your growth zone! Like rings in a tree trunk, we grow and develop our entire life. Each ring demonstrates the courage to leave a personal comfort zone and choose to enter a new growth zone.

Fear, however, is a key factor that prevents many of us from taking that next step and growing personally or professionally. Negative, destructive self-talk such as, "I might embarrass myself", "What if I fail?", "What if they laugh at me?", "It may not be perfect" are lined with fear and self-doubt. A lot of people then choose to wait it out: "I'll start when the fear goes away…." and they blame their procrastination on fear. They make fear the enemy.

Fear, however, is not the enemy. You are your own enemy when you allow fear to win. The only anecdote to fear is action. 

This podcast provides you with practical tips and insights into overcoming personal fears and having the courage to nip those fears in the bud and to take action. Because only then can you leave your comfort zone, enter your growth zone and discover your full potential.

One small belief about yourself can have a ripple effect on your entire life. It is your belief system that sets off a chain of events which determines how and what you think, feel and behave. And at the end of this chain you are left with your results - good or bad.

What is meant here by beliefs? Beliefs are things you have chosen to accept as the absolute truth in your life. Some of these beliefs you have taken on consciously (such as spiritual beliefs like "I believe or do not believe in God"), while others have made their way into your life unconsciously (such as things you grew up hearing about yourself and adopted as your own belief, like "I am (not) artistic, athletic, beautiful, loveable…."). 

Some of these beliefs are good for you, while others get in the way of you reaching your full potential.  All these beliefs - good or bad - eventually lead to the results you get in your life.

The magic of it is that each of us can also choose new beliefs and throw out the ones that do us harm - beliefs that help us reach our goals, fulfill our potential and create the changes we want to have in our lives. This podcast shows you the repercussions (good or bad) of your belief system and provides insight into how to choose beliefs that are supportive and beneficial to your personal growth.

This podcast sheds light on communication preferences - preferences that we are BORN with. From day one, we PREFER to send and receive communication from a specific channel. The problem is that there are several channels available and more often than not, we unintentionally and unknowingly choose the wrong channel. This podcast provides practical tips and humorous examples on how to foster communication and make it work for you (and the receiver of your message). By implementing these tips and heightening your awareness of others' needs, you will have better results and be able to reduce misunderstandings, avoid hurt feelings and lower stress. George Bernhard Shaw summed it up best when he said, "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has even taken place." This is one of my favorite quotes and is the heart of my first podcast. This podcast addresses questions such as: Why does communication often go awry? Why do sender and receiver often end up frustrated and/or with hurt feelings during conversations? How does miscommunication even happen when the intentions of both parties start out positive? What alternatives do I have?
