The Tingle Zone with Andrew Miller

In this episode, I'm talking with Jane Ferré, a career coach for HR professionals – whether that's forging a career inside their current organisation or getting back on track after being made redundant.

Jane worked in HR and Training for major companies such as British Airways and Leon, until numerous internal restructures led to her being made redundant. After being unsuccessful in numerous job interviews, she realised that she didn't actually want to be employed and that, deep down, she'd always wanted to work for herself.

Amongst the things we discuss are such subjects as:

• the importance of playing to your strengths instead of worrying about your weaknesses;
• why businesses always cut costs in the wrong departments first; and
• the immediate steps you should take if you are made redundant.

We also explore how we can now create our future careers, working when and how we want to. If you can imagine it, then why not find a way to do it?

In this episode, I'm talking with Joseph Gerstel, CEO of Get Some Class, which provides remote team-building events for lawyers, introducing fun and laughter into a high-pressured and intense environment.

Joseph started off as a lawyer himself and got to a point where he realised that he'd been forced down a route he didn't want to go down and wasn't enjoying himself. The enforced lockdown caused by the pandemic opened up an opportunity for Joseph to step into a new space and, what started as an experiment in his own firm, has now flourished into an International Business.

This is one of those great conversations where, in addition to his story and reflections on business, Joseph and I get into some very deep and philosophical concepts including topics such as:

• how do you collaborate with others without risking your own identity?
• the importance of getting comfortable with uncertainty; and
• how tragedy is the underlying theme of the human condition and what to do about it.

We also explore the questions “Who are we really?” and “What is our place in a civilised society?”

In this episode, I'm talking with Sloane, a former business attorney who now devotes her time to guiding powerful women in fulfilling their highest potential.

After selling her law practice, Sloane found herself travelling the world with an amazing group of friends and living the lifestyle she'd always wanted. Suddenly,  she realised that despite being in paradise - inside she was really lonely.

In our conversation, we discuss some controversial concepts such as:

• how developing a positive attitude and pushing through, isn't always the right answer; and
• why getting clear on your vision and pursuing it, can be problematic.

On the flip side, you get to find out:

• a better way of doing things; and
• how to feel good even when things don't go to plan.

In this episode, I'm talking with Rael Bricker, international speaker, author and someone who works with business leaders to create rich and robust cultures - with measurable results.

Rael has had a portfolio career, including marketing, training, mergers and acquisitions and venture capitalism. Born in South Africa, now living in Western Australia, Rael's career started out as a junior engineer at an international mining house where the rigid hierarchical nature of the company automatically created division amongst the workforce.

However, a single, notable event on a works trip turned everything on its head for Rael and sparked his interest in organisational culture.

In our conversation, we talk about such subjects as:

• How culture is a combination of ethics, values, people and communication
• how people can get it so right and, at the same time, so wrong; and
• maintaining that culture when everyone is working from home.

It's also interesting to note how the most successful and confident of people can still suffer from imposter syndrome.

In this episode, I'm talking with Kay Suthar, a Business Strategist, Award Winning Author and Professional Speaker - as well as a podcast host and podcast marketing agent.

Kay started off life wanting to be a superhero which, in the real world, led her to join the police force. Health issues forced her to retire at which point an opportunity arose to move into politics, helping with election campaigns. From there, events, sales and marketing became the focus and a position in Costa Rica appeared – and disappeared the moment she arrived - leaving her stuck in the country with no job, no home and no money !!

Kay's story demonstrates her natural problem solving skills, her adaptability and her underlying drive and determination.

In our conversation we discuss such topics as:

- the importance of taking action in difficult situations;

- how we've been misled to believe that stress is 'part of the job'; and

- the critical difference between Advice and Opinion.

Kay also demonstrates how asking questions is the true path to success.

In this episode, I'm talking with James Owen Roberts who is an Amputee Empowerment Coach.

James is a TEDx speaker, and author and has represented his country at 4 World Championships and in 2 Paralympics.

This interview is slightly different from our usual episodes as the business element is very much a consequence rather than the main focus. However, the mindsets and attitudes are all very relevant to us all.

In our discussion, we explore:

- James' relationship with his condition and how his stubbornness enabled him to adapt to situations in order to make things work;

- his journey through sport, representing his country in three different disciplines; and

- the challenges, both physical and mental, of being an athlete.

And of course, we do find out how his experiences in sport – including dealing with the failures - set him up for success in business.

In this episode, I'm talking with Thomas Kereszti who is a former Fortune 500 CEO and author of the book “C-Suite and Beyond: Unlock Your Potential with the 4 Keys to Leadership Success”

Thomas is a great believer in sharing ideas and, in this interview, he shares these 4 key areas with us. They were developed out of his own experience and through observing what worked and what didn't work for him. When he applied his principles to other major firms he realised that it was not unique to him and could be applied to all of us.

In addition, we also explore such topics as:

• the difference between Authority and Leadership;
• why you should treat Business and Family in a similar way; and
• the importance of recognising that what you do is not who you are.

Plus, he picks out the 3 key questions that every leader should be able to answer.

In this episode, I'm talking with Scott Schilling - an executive coach, trainer, author and professional speaker. Scott has spoken at over 2,500 live events, including stadia with audiences of well over 25,000 people in them, and shared the stage with some of the biggest known names in the business, such as Jack Canfield and Les Brown.

Scott is an expert on building trust and making sales and uses his platforms – on stage, on tv and on podcasts such as this – to help fulfil his mission to positively touch the lives of over a billion people on the planet.

This includes sharing his own story of how he used purpose and belief to recover from a life-threatening stroke and be back on stage 23 days later when most doctors thought he should be dead.

Underlying everything is a core belief that everyone has their part to play in the world and he wants you to take control of your life, get out there and make your move.

In our conversation, we explore such topics as:

- How to put a smile on the face of everyone that calls you

- Why it's ok to be off track most of the time; and

- How to feel better when you're in a bad place

He also delivers what I consider to be the best angle I've ever heard on managing rejection.

In this episode, I'm talking with Sharyn and Hank Yuloff who were voted American's #1 Coaching Team for small business entrepreneurs who are struggling with marketing, sales, human resources, public speaking and networking.

Between them, Sharyn and Hank have written 7 books (at the time of recording).

To understand their journey together, we use the books as a framework. How did they come about, how were they created, and what do they cover?

As a consequence, we learn about the book writing process, ways of creating content and a host of business tips along the way.

At the same time, the whole interview is an absolute blast.

In this episode, I'm talking with Dancho Dimkov, a serial entrepreneur, founder of lead generation company BizzBee Solutions and author of the book Sweet Leads.

Dancho set up his first business at the age of 21. Like many of us, much of his early success came from hard graft and using every hour that was available. However, as other factors became more important – you know, life and all that – he realised that he had to create a company that was able to perform without him being there.

In this podcast, Dancho shares exactly what he did to build such a business as well as the mistakes he made along the way. This is invaluable stuff for anyone who wants to actually own a business and not just be an employee in their own company.

In addition, we discuss subjects such as:

• why it's essential that you give yourself permission to make mistakes;
• a simple methodology around making tough decisions; and
• the importance of selling a solution, not a product or service.

At the heart of it all, marketing is really about having great conversations.
