Phone Calls With Clever People

We're having a conversation about energy and routines.   How you start your day shows up in throughout your day. But if you're like me, finding routines that maximise your energy in leadership can feel a little challenging. Today I'm joined by Lara Nercessian to talk explore how starting the day with a degree of predictability can set you up to tackle a world full of uncertainty.    Lara is an Executive in a Billion Dollar Company, Host of a Top-Rated Podcast Show and Online Educator helping ambitious individuals focus their energy to overcome their fears and build a magnificent presence.   Once a shy, timid girl with big dreams and yet no idea how to get after them. Lara went on a deep journey of self-discovery which led her to launch a purpose-led blog site – a place where she could share her personal growth & career insights along with her elite habits she established whilst helping others overcome their fears of showing up in person and online.     The Boss in Heels Podcast has been rated as one of the top career podcasts on Apple Podcasts Australia and rated as #1 in Business Insider and Yahoo Finance amongst many other publications. Today she is on a mission to creating a movement for ambitious individuals seeking elite routines, establishing CEO mindsets and attaining world-class performance to help them unapologetically show up like the powerhouses that they are.    Connect With Lara Follow Lara on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/lara-nercessian/  Learn more about Lara at https://laranercessian.com/about  Listen to the Boss In Heels Podcast at https://laranercessian.com/bossinheels Check out the exciting new "LA World" at https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/la-world/id1649122151   Connect With Shane Connect with me on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanemhatton/ Follow Lara on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/lara_nercessian_/  Learn more about what I do and sign up for my newsletter at https://www.shanemhatton.com Follow me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/shanemhatton  Follow me on Twitter at https://www.twitter.com/shanemhatton  Reach out and email me at [email protected] 

We’re talking all about listening (Oh the irony)

It’s been said that we evaluate our ability to listen much like we evaluate our ability to drive a car. We grossly over estimate our skills. To help us discover what it means to listen deeply I’m joined by the leading expert in this space, Oscar Trimboli.

Oscar is an author, host of the Apple award-winning podcast Deep Listening and a sought-after keynote speaker. He is passionate about using the gift of listening to bring positive change in homes, workplaces and cultures around the world.

Through his work with chairs, boards of directors and executive teams in local, regional and global organisations, Oscar has experienced firsthand the transformational impact leaders and organisations can have when they listen beyond the words.

He believes that leadership teams need to focus their attention and their listening on building organisations that have impact and create powerful legacies for the people they serve – today and, more importantly, for future generations.

Oscar is a marketing and technology industry veteran with over 30 years’ experience across general management, sales, marketing and operations for Microsoft, PeopleSoft, Polycom, Professional Advantage and Vodafone.

We’re kicking off season 05 with a bang with the incredible Kim Kaupe joining me to talk about showing up more intentionally online.

Kim told me that people can NO you before they KNOW you because of how we show up online. I give her a call to talk about what we need to know about positioning ourselves in this globally connected society we live in.

In January 2020 at age 34 Kim kicked off a tour with Oprah while juggling clients like Paul McCartney, The NY Mets, Ace Comic Con & Shawn Mendes. In those 9 years she learned how to go from zero clients to Oprah, no one knowing who she was to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and not knowing what an LLC was to securing offers from 4 out of 5 sharks on Shark Tank.

Kim describers herself as an accidental entrepreneur and now works with executives & future leaders to harness their voice & image to expand their network. She dusts off the ordinary to reveal the extraordinary in her clients whose perceived value in the workplace does not match the actual value they bring to the table.

We're Talking About Money 

It's something that touches almost every part of our life and yet something we don't talk a lot about openly. 

My guest is Tammy Barton, managing director of Australian business MyBudget and she told me that when we transform our money it can transform our life. And yet while there's a lot of information available to us around mental or physical health, there's not a lot enough conversations about financial health. 

Today I give her a call to talk about how we can transform our relationship with money. 

Tammy Barton is one of Australia’s most influential business women and female entrepreneurs. She’s the founding director of MyBudget, a service that she started as a home-based business in South Australia more than 22 years ago (1999), and which has since grown into one of Australia’s most trusted and recognised financial services brands.

MyBudget relieves money worries and helps people achieve their financial goals via personal budgeting and money coaching. Today, the business employs more than 270 staff and has helped more than 110,000 clients.

Tammy is a respected authority on personal budgeting and money management, who regularly features in the media as a personal finance expert and influential entrepreneur. She has won the Telstra Business Woman of the Year (South Australia) twice, the Australian Government Business Innovation Award among multiple other recognitions, including Ernst & Young’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year (Central Region.)

Tammy and the team at MyBudget are on a mission to promote financial responsibility and help Australians to live free from money worries.

We're Talking About Stress 

Trigger Warning: this episode briefly discusses issues around mental health, depression and suicide.

My guest is speaker, coach and author Luke Mathers and he told me that stress can be a good thing, even a superpower if we don't let it stick to us. 

Today I give him a call to explore how we can lead ourselves better in the area of stress. 

Luke is the author of Stress Teflon, and 28 years in business have taught him that stress isn’t going away any time soon. If you want to have better health, relationships and success, you need to get good at stress.

As one of the original directors of Specsavers in Australia, Luke was part of the biggest retail roll-out in Australia’s history. 100 stores in 100 days. His practice was the biggest in the country and set global records that were previously unheard of.

Luke retired for the first time at age 31. After transforming his UK Specsavers practice (increasing turnover 350% in just three years) Luke returned to Australia to relax and put his feet up. It wasn't long before he realised he missed something....STRESS!

Helping people become Stress Teflon and to RESET Stress is his mission. Through his keynote speeches, workshops and coaching he helps people turn threats into challenges. As the book says “it’s good being you when stress doesn’t stick.”

We're talking about self-leadership.   As restrictions around the world ease and we venture forward into this new world of work, it can be tempting to look to others to lead us out of lockdown.

We're talking about focus.   My guest is speaker and author is "Do One Thing Deep" Gayle Smerdon PhD, and as the title suggests she is advocate for businesses and individuals choosing one thing and doing it deep.   Today I'm giving her a call to find out why!   Gayle Smerdon, PhD is a writer, researcher and speaker on learning, leading and organisational culture.   Gayle's message is simple and practical. Stop wasting time, money and the goodwill of your employees by - trying to do too much and overwhelming your people - doing nothing and frustrating them or - doing things that don't make a difference and disengaging them.   By focusing attention on ONE THING that matters she believes that leaders can harness and direct the collective energy in our workplaces on creating something meaningful - which is good for business and their people.   Gayle currently runs a practice in Melbourne where she coaches curious and committed learners, and helps to build amazing teams and workplaces.   Connect with Gayle
