The Leanne Shelton Podcast

Have you ever wondered if you actually deserved that recognition or praise - when in reality you feel you just got lucky? You know, you just happened to be at the right place at the right time? Maybe you've felt like a fraud and wondered whether you're qualified enough to offer that advice or that training. Or maybe you've had a big celebrity or brand approach you at some stage, wanting to work with or collaborate with you - and you've wondered why they've chosen you? These feelings of doubt are completely normal - and this little voice inside is known as the Imposter Syndrome. Today, I'm chatting with Carlii Lyon about how we can manage the Imposter and perhaps even become friends with it. Because, and I hate to say it, this voice is never going to completely go away. And if you don't take control over it, your personal brand could be affected. There's a fantastic quote appearing on the back of Carlii's business card that I'd like you to remember before we get started - 'There are people less qualified than you, doing the things you want to do, simply because they decide to believe in themselves. Period.' As that sinks in, we'll jump into the episode!

Are you uncomfortable with client conversations around money? Maybe you're struggling to figure out the right price for your products and services. Or maybe you're struggling to show potential clients the true value of your offerings. Talking about money can be an icky subject. Especially when you love the work you do - and would do it for free if you could! But too many business owners are undervaluing themselves. Or they're not packaging their offerings effectively. Or they're over-delivering and ripping themselves off. If any of this sounds familiar, you'll find today's episode with Kathleen Ann from Power Up Your Marketing very insightful. Get your pen and paper or notes app ready - and let's dive into the episode!

Have you taken any big risks in your business lately? Thanks to Covid-19, many of us have. Well, think of all those Not-For-Profits out there who have previously relied upon big events to meet their annual fundraising targets. With social distancing being forced upon us, they had two options - admit defeat or find new ways to raise money. For Ronald McDonald House Charities, giving up was not an option. The Greater Western Sydney fundraising team put on their thinking caps and came up with the 'Dance for Sick Kids' online fundraiser - with big dreams of raising around $30,000. But the final result was way, way beyond their wildest expectations! In today's episode, I'm chatting with Arani Duggan - Head of Marketing and Fundraising at Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney. Being part of the fundraiser myself and watching the dollar figures skyrocket, I knew I had to get Arani onto the show and talk about how and why their online fundraiser made such an impact. If you've thought about doing online fundraisers for your business or Not-For-Profit, keep listening for some wonderful insight!

Do you feel that life is something that just happens to you - without any sense of control? Do you have a long list of dreams and aspirations - but feel they're completely beyond your reach? And do you feel a sense of pain when you see others living the type of life you want to live? In recent weeks, I've chatted with Jane, Steven, and Julie about setting business, financial, and personal goals. But the thing is - you can't just set some goals and establish new processes - and then pray to the heavens that the new habits will stick. There's also a high level of mindset involved. In today's episode of Marketing and Me, I'm talking about how I personally get sh*t done. The reason I chose this topic is because I've had people comment on my achievements in the past and ask how I did it. Or they'd say the words 'You seem to be soo busy!' I don't actually like the word 'busy'. I feel like it's a glorified term given way too much power these days. So I try to avoid using it. Because for me, yes, I am getting stuff done - like running a monthly Meet Up, establishing and running this podcast, hosting webinars and online courses, and setting up a membership group. But all of it has been done on my terms and within my determined hours. I still have quality time with my family and friends. And still have plenty of downtime just for me. So today, I'm going to share with you some of my secrets. Because I'm really loving my life at the moment - and know the best is yet to come. Are you ready to hear my secrets? Then let's jump into the episode!

Nobody wants to be disorganised. It leads to stress, overwhelm, and forgetfulness. But if you're a working mum and juggling this crazy thing called life, it can be difficult to prioritise those actions on the to-do list. Especially when you've got your partner, kids, AND clients competing for your attention. And, oh yeah, and there's that whole 'me time' thing as well. In previous podcast episodes, we've talked about business planning and goal-setting. Today, I'm chatting with Julie Cliff from Space and Time about life planning. Because we all want to live the best life possible. And we only get one life.

As a manager, keeping your team motivated and engaged isn't an easy task. And if you add remote working arrangements into the mix, it makes the situation even harder.

In recent times, typical working arrangements have been challenged and questioned. So today, I have Katie Jones from CultureFit HR on the line - and we're talking about ways to ensure your team remains engaged. Even when working apart. Let's jump into the episode!

As we enter a new year, or new financial year, it's a natural time to reflect on what worked and what didn't work in our businesses over the previous 12 months. Did that plan of attack bring in the desired income? Or did that desired plan never take place? And - sometimes - all of your plans completely go out the window when the unexpected happens.
