Hey Psyche, how do I?

We can be an expert in our field, we can communicate our thoughts in a conversation, but then as soon as we get in front of camera or on stage, it all changes. It's not our knowledge that lets us down, it's the thoughts racing through our head of worst case scenarios or what others will think. Stage fright is common, but as a speaker it's vital to overcome to be able to be your best and authentic self. Today's episode features Professional Speaking Coach & Writer Sarah Jo Crawford, CEO, Brand Strategist & Storyteller Quentin Allums & Speaker, Marketer & LinkedIn Content Creator Fabio Marrama. If you want to know how you can begin to overcome your stage fright, meaning you'll be more relaxed, authentic and in turn allow the audience to relax and enjoy your content, then tune in!

Before you have an idea of someone wanting to book you as a speaker, they've probably done their homework; watched some YouTube clips, read your blog, seen your LinkedIn profile. So the question is; what does all of this content say about you; is it how you want to be perceived and is it consistent? This is just an example of the elements that make up your personal brand; how people see you/talk about you when you're not in the room. Without a strong personal brand you'll miss out on opportunities without even knowing they existed and also struggle to build a strong interest in the content you're sharing! In today's episode I'm joined by Personal Branding & Growth Expert Brittany Krystle, CEO & Speaker Jackie Hermes & Professional Speaking Coach & Writer Sarah Jo Crawford. If you're looking to build and grow your personal brand to ensure you're creating first impressions that get you noticed, people captivated and more interest in hearing you speak, then tune in!

With the world in which we live in now, it's never been easier to share our opinion and get our voice heard and face seen. Public speaking in no longer just reserved for the well known and famous; anyone with a camera phone can begin to hone their craft. But with this comes some important questions; how do I stand out from the crowd? build my brand? get more confident with speaking? be more memorable? get more speaking opportunities? All of these questions are answered on this week's daily podcast editions of Not Another Sales Podcast - The Public Speaking Toolkit. Each day you'll receive some great insights and tips from three different guests ensuring you succeed with your public speaking, both online and on stage. The first episode is focused on finding your niche! The challenge that comes with it never being easier to become a speaker in some format, is how busy and crowded some spaces can be. So therefore it's essential you define your difference; both for your own benefit to decide who you want to resonate with and from the audience perspective, why they would want to listen/watch you. In today's episode I'm joined by CEO & Speaker Jackie Hermes, CEO & 5x TEDx Speaker Bobby Umar & CEO, Brand Strategist & Storyteller Quentin Allums. If you want some great insights on how you can define your niche, ensuring you are able to stand out from the crowd and be clear on the direction you're heading in, then tune in!

o productivity can be seen by many as something that's very focused towards skills; having lists, planners etc, but I believe it all starts with having a productive mindset - gives you clarity for your strategy "I'm so busy, I haven't even had time to think today" - sound familiar? You have so many things on a daily basis, both in life and business, that you feel you need to do. You spend all day “doing” things and running around. Then suddenly it’s 5pm and you’re finishing for the day and you think back and feel you've not really got what you wanted done. How did that happen? I’m guessing you’ve experienced this before, maybe more often than you would like to admit. You feel like you’re “working” all the time but never progressing or completing things. It’s not down to being lazy or not being motivated to achieve your goals. It’s because of your mindset. Join Entrepreneur, Bestselling Author of "Is Your Business Worth Saving?" & Podcaster Stacy Tuschl and I on this week's episode of Not Another Sales Podcast to talk all about creating a productive mindset. Stacy and I will talking about what attributes and traits go into cultivating a productive mindset and how it's more than just having a strategy or good organisation. We're also sharing some of the biggest productivity killers that get in the way and how you can become more focused on developing and maintaining a productive mindset. If you're constantly feeling like you're always busy, but not getting the output from your input, then tune in!

Being seen, both in person and on video, is an essential part in growing your brand, both personal and business, in today's busy and crowded marketplace. But there are so many of us that fear the thought of getting up on stage or in front of a camera to do this. When you look at what stops or makes us fearful, all of it starts in the mind. So if you want to become more comfortable and confident at talking out loud in front of people, you need to start with the inner voice.  In this week's episode I'm joined by CEO, Speaker and a growing influencer in the world of LinkedIn Jackie Hermes. Jackie and I will be talking about why it's essential to focus on your mindset and behaviours towards public speaking before the practicality and skills of doing it. We'll also share our thoughts on what some of the greatest speaker's in the world possess and how you can become more confident and comfortable with public speaking, whether that be to 1 or 100 people or on camera. Jackie will also be sharing her story so far, including what she's learnt most about herself along the way.

How do I attract new customers? This is a common question you see asked and answered on daily basis. There's always some new ways of doing this, with the power of technology and social supporting this. But how often do you ask this question within your business; how do I work out who I shouldn't work with? You see when you are only looking at how to attract new customers, and not enough time focused on spotting those you shouldn't work with, you will face challenges further down the road.  In this week's episode I'm joined by CEO and award winning social media marketer Rachel Pedersen. We'll be talking about firstly why you should look to avoid trying to work with everyone, the pitfalls of doing so and how you can become more equipped to identify the types of customers you should avoid working with. Be sure to tune in, to be equipped with ways to spot the wrong type of customers and how it will benefit you in the long run!

A hot topic of debate is always what habits, behaviours and skills contribute towards making people successful. One of these elements that sets the successful apart is rooted within human psychology. It centres around 3 A's; Acceptance, Attention & Approval and how high value human beings are able to give this versus beg or compete for it. I'm joined by John Sanei, best-selling author, global speaker and trend specialist with a holistic approach to achieving future-readiness. John shares his definition of what it means to be a higher value human being, how it's essential to our success and why we're not all able to make the instant choice to become one. John will also be sharing his story, coming back from bankruptcy, what inspires him and his purpose. So if you want to take a deeper look and understanding into how you can work towards becoming a higher value human being and what it can bring to you in terms of success and enlightenment, then tune in.

"A boss has the title. A leader has the people" Simon Sinek. Leadership is something that is still very misunderstood, particularly what actually goes into making someone a great leader. We can all recall in our careers, some great examples and equally bad ones of leaders. So what exact ingredients go into making the recipe for great leaders and how do we begin to start focusing and developing these, to become great leaders ourselves? This week I'm joined by Best Selling Author of The Leadership Gap, TEDx speaker and Executive Coach Lolly Daskal. Lolly and I will be answering this question of what a great leader, what we need to draw from within ourselves to lead, what are the biggest blockers to preventing people from becoming great leaders and how you can begin to develop your leadership skills, which will align you to becoming a great leader. This is for anyone, whether you're in a leadership position or not, who feels they want to inspire and empower individuals around them.

You may scroll your social media feed each day and see numerous posts designed to motivate and inspire you. You probably see the #motivation on a daily basis, but what does it really mean to be motivated? Mel Robbins says motivation is never there when you need it and this is down to the lack of understanding of what motivation is. There are myths of motivation that need clarity to ensure motivation is seen and used in the right way. In this episode I'm joined by Success Coach and Writer Lisa Jeffs.   Lisa and I are going to be delving into the meaning of motivation; why people struggle with a lack of it at times, the myths surrounding motivation and how you can become more effective at understanding motivation and how to use it. Lisa will also be delving into her story of what she's learnt about herself along the way and what her intrinsic motivators are.

We are creatures of habit. We feel safe when we know what is going to occur is our daily life. When this feeling of security and the known is challenged by the perceived uncertainty and the unknown, we become uneasy and unsure of how we should react.

They'll be sharing some unmissable actions you can take to become more equipped at dealing with change and also altering your perception of change.
