Hey Psyche, how do I?

You've probably seen mindfulness references in articles, posts and content a lot more recently. The understanding and impact of it, is becoming clearer, but in order for us to truly embrace it, we need organisations to provide the structures and foundations. But how do organisations go about doing this, from the big to the small, to ensure they're creating an environment for mindfulness and the benefits from it? Well, to talk about this, I'm joined this week by  Founder of OutsideIN Performance, Executive Performance Coach and Keynote Speaker, Angie Vaux. Angie and I will talk through why there has been a shift towards a focus on mindfulness in the workplace and the benefits it can have from doing so. She'll also share advice for companies, big or small, looking to implement it and how we can begin to remove the stigmas attached to it in the work environment.

Social media has changed the way we buy, engage and network with one another. It's also provided a platform for everyone to be seen. One of the best ways to utilise this, is content creation.  But what goes into making great content, that doesn't just make someone think or feel better as a result, but also creates opportunities for your business. How do you create content that sells?  To answer this question, I'm joined on this week's episode by Richard Moore; Business Mentor, Sales Coach and Founder of Entrepreneur Business Live.  Richard and I will be talking through the art of content creation, starting with what you need to consider when creating content. We'll be discussing the types of content that work well and how you can overcome some of your fears then creating it. If you want to get a better understanding and direction on creating content that moves your business forwards, then tune in.

We are happy to talk about when we feel tired, physically ill or injured, but refrain from doing so when it's linked to our mental health. Mental health issues don't discriminate and we can sometimes feel we need to suppress them or perhaps not fully acknowledge them. But that isn't the answer; we need to as a collective, particularly men, become more open with talking about it, creating platforms through the use of social media and face to face, to encourage others to feel comfortable in talking about it.  Whilst we can't solve this in one episode of a podcast, we can be part of that collective voice. So on this week's episode of Not Another Sales Podcast, I'm joined by Sales Leader and Mentor, Michael David Chapman.  Michael will be sharing his experience, insights and very raw story of the mental health issues he has faced in his life so far. We'll be talking about ways in which organisations can support this and advice for those who feel they may be in this space.
