088 - Hiring employees

For many, looking to grow a business means taking on more staff. But employing people can also be a nightmare. If you get it wrong, instead of releasing your time and helping your company grow, you can find yourself micro-managing a team of people and still having your own work to do! In this episode, David brings you his 8 tips for hiring people from his experience of having hired close to 50 people over two decades in business. Including: how to know when is the right time to hire; how to make sure you can get someone who can actually do the job; and can you advertise only for people who are vegan themselves?!About Vegan Business TribeHosted by Vegan Business Tribe co-founder, David Pannell.

087 - How to get better at speaking

How (and why!) to get better at speaking and presenting. If you view your vegan business as your activism, then you owe it to the vegan cause to become better at speaking and communicating so that you can reach a bigger audience. But for most of us, the idea of standing on a stage in front of people, or even just 'going live' on social media, can be terrifying. In this episode, David shares his secrets for becoming a better speaker after having spoken at hundreds of events and online seminars himself. But he wasn't always as practised and confident as he comes across now, so we look at the techniques you can use to improve, how you can find bigger and better speaking opportunities as you gain confidence and what happened when Jay Charlton from Viva La Vegan got over her fears and agreed to join David onstage at Chris Evans' Carfest.About Vegan Business TribeHosted by Vegan Business Tribe co-founder, David Pannell.
