[Be Exceptional] - Shining the Light on Women’s Empowerment Expert, Sara Garcia
LinkedIn
May 11, 2022
According to a study by McKinsey organisations that have diverse workforces increase the bottom line by 21% and yet, one of the biggest issues holding back women taking on leadership roles is a lack of confidence. This creates low morale, reduced revenue, innovative thinking & collaboration. Today, we need to not just create environments for women to step up and lead but high performing influential women, who thrive in the future of work.

The Power of Continuous Improvement in Your Consulting Practice
LinkedIn
April 27, 2022
The idea of continuous improvement is not one that’s often talked about in the thought leader or expert industry, and yet it’s a highly developed part of the corporate industry. In fact, the idea of a continuous improvement process within the corporate arena was originally developed as a management methodology by Toyota in Japan. Known as kaizen, it is the ‘quest for continuous improvement’ and is one of the core principles of The Toyota Production System.

What Holds Us Back From Being Better
Jane Anderson
March 30, 2022
Most people want to be better and make things better, even if that’s not the way they would put it. My parents are a great example of this. If you were to meet my parents you would see that they don’t have an off button. When they see jobs that need doing or things that need fixing, they just roll up their sleeves and get them done. They aren’t necessarily thinking, “Oh, doing this will make life better”. But they are seeing the things around them that need to get done. And by doing them, they are making life better.

At that stage, I had never had a paid speaking event and had never spoken in front of more than 50 people. So, I was in awe of him and really felt that I was sitting in the room with genius.

The Best CRM To Use As A Solopreneur

The problem with this question is that it looks at the CRM in isolation. But your CRM is only a part of what you actually need as a thought leader or expert.

Why You Should Publish Content on LinkedIn

December 06, 2020
In Content Club, someone recently asked me if she should publish content on LinkedIn. She believed, as many do, that her content would serve her better on her own blog, or other social media platforms.
This is a great question. Many people do spread themselves a bit too thin on social media platforms, posting everywhere, all the time. Adding LinkedIn can feel like the nail in the coffin and just another thing to do. And because it’s a professional networking site, LinkedIn can also be quite an intimidating place to begin to publish and post. Many people feel more comfortable staying on Facebook or Instagram, for example.

Neil Patel, an expert on content marketing, has written extensively on measuring content marketing performance… but when he mentions likes, comments and shares, it’s only as a small metric among a much larger analytic strategy. And that’s because while social metrics are valuable, they’re certainly not the be all end all.

Interestingly, she was expelled at the age of 11 for ‘musical insubordination’, which may be a foreshadow to some of her musical choices later in her career.
Tori’s incredibly talented and incredibly well-regarded in the music industry, having received five MTV VMA nominations and eight Grammy Award nominations along with numerous other award throughout her long music career. Part of the reason she’s earned so many awards is because she’s released an astounding 15 albums since the age of 17, making her one of the most prolific artists around.
