The Leanne Shelton Podcast

I don't know about you - but networking has been a key part of my marketing strategy. I enjoy meeting new people. Hearing their stories. And feeding off their enthusiastic energy! But 'the virus that shall not be named' took the networking thing away from me. From all of us! So I had to re-think my approach. I was actually meant to run a face-to-face workshop on 'Networking for Beginners', that was meant to be funded by City of Parramatta. But when this virus hit, those plans went out the window! So I changed the topic to 'Virtual networking for beginners' and turned it into a virtual workshop. Which is like a webinar - but with more personality and interaction! And it was very well-received. So, in today's episode of 'Marketing and Me', I wanted to go through my virtual networking tips with you. We don't know when our networking groups will be back to normal, so these tips will carry you through and ensure you can continue to grow your business during uncertain times. And when things DO go back to normal, these tips will definitely remain relevant to remain top of mind with your potential and current clients. So let's jump into the episode!

Are you the same person - in and out of your business? Or do you act one way with family and put on a 'front' when it comes to handling your products and services? If you want to run a successful business, you need to be - yes, I'm going to say it - authentic. You need to be clear about your values, ethics, and priorities - and ensure they shine through in your business. If these areas of your life are out of alignment with your work, you'll find it hard to move from Struggle Street to Successville. When aligned, you can say goodbye to burnout and overwhelm, and hello to making better decisions in your business and communicating a clearer message to the right client. Today, I'm chatting with Artemiss Keyhani from ArtemissK to help you gain clarity around who you are, who you serve, and why you serve it. Let's get started!

Everyone has heard about this elusive thing called a work/life balance. And we all strive to achieve it. Especially when we have a partner, caring responsibilities, household duties, and a business. And somehow, throughout all of that, we're meant to find time for ourselves as well. Is that even possible?! Today, I'm chatting with Barbara Holmes from Managing Work/Life Balance to tell you it IS possible. But your idea of 'balance' could look very different to someone else's. And that's okay.

Twelve months ago, launching a business podcast was just a dream floating around my head. The benefits were obvious. I could expand my reach, enhance connections, build authority, and attract more web traffic. And it could all be achieved at a minimal cost. Yes, on paper it seemed like a brilliant addition to my marketing strategy. But I had no idea where to start. The whole process felt extremely overwhelming - which led to months and months of procrastination. In today's episode of Marketing & Me, I wanted to share my tips based on my own experiences - to help you to get a podcast off the ground as well. Let's tune in now!

Getting your ears pierced for the first time is a rite of passage for many girls and women. Later in life, additional ear and body piercings create the opportunity to show your uniqueness, personality, and style. Or you might do it for cultural reasons - or to highlight your rebellious nature. Whatever the reason - piercing shouldn't be taken lightly. And it should be done safely to avoid infections or even diseases. On today's show, I'm chatting with Brittany Davidson from The Hills Piercing Studio about piercing safely - and that's via needles, not guns. If you have a beauty salon or are a fellow piercer - or if you're thinking of getting piercings done for yourself or your kids - you need to pierce yourself into this episode.

Are you out of the LinkedIn loop? Maybe you're unsure how it all works. Or see it as another time-waster. If you're assuming the platform is predominately for job hunters and recruiters, you're mistaken. Yes, it was once. But it's become so much more. With nearly 675 million members across 200 countries and regions, LinkedIn now plays a key part in building an online social media presence for businesses big and small. It's also considered one of the most powerful platforms for B2B - and more than two new professionals sign up every second.
