E30 – Creating Inviting and Inclusive Environments with Billy Wauhop

E54: Interview with Peter Banigo

Peter is the founder of Target ICT Ltd and joins us all the way from Nigeria. We speak about everything mindset in this episode starting with reframing our current story to one that serves us better in meeting our goals and objectives.

Peter shared with us how powerful it is to not let the expectations from others mess with our mind and our hopes or dreams for what we think is possible for us to achieve. He shared that taking the first step is all you need to do, as if you are waiting for things to be perfect, you will be waiting forever.

Another key discussion point was how to reduce pressure, stress and tension by staying in the present rather than putting attention on the future. And that by making the unfamiliar familiar and setting our future self’s up for success we can accomplish anything we set our minds to.

E51: Interview with Dr Paula Smith

Paula is an author, researcher, master trainer keynote speaker, and leadership coach in all things powerful presenting and leadership communication and the CEO of the Global Institute of Training and Presenting. In this episode, we talk about how you can use presenting to grow your business and/or your brand.

Paula discusses how we can inspire people through sharing stories, appealing to emotions in addition to sharing facts. She shares with us how creating curiosity in our presenting results in attention and engagement from our audience through the dopamine released in the brain which assists us in achieving our end result of inspiring them to change their behaviour or belief systems. 

Paula shares a heap of gold nuggets in this episode including (but definitely not limited to) how powerful and influential presenters and leaders are made not born and that by looking into your past to identify the belief systems that stop you from powerful presenting can allow you to step into that space confidently. She also shared with us the 3 key elements needed for influencing that we can include in our presenting strategies which are: Ethos (setting yourself up as a knowledge expert with authority, credibility and trust), Pathos (connecting to the audience with emotion and the sharing of stories) and Logos (supporting presentations with logic, data and facts).

Dr Paula Smith Bio:

Dr Paula Smith admits she is just a little bit obsessed with impactful training and presenting. Paula is a researcher, master trainer and leadership coach in all things powerful presenting and leadership communication. Paula has been running her own training and speaking business for nearly 4 decades.

She says she loves the relationships she has with my clients. It’s more like a partnership. Together they explore, develop, train, inspire and implement strategies to help their key people build better relationships and communicate with more influence and impact.

Some days she is speaking at conferences, most days she is running master classes, and other days she is meeting and working deeply with her business and executive clients through private coaching or powerful master minds.

Her master’s and PhD work was in Presentation Intelligence ® and loves nothing more than sharing her insights with other professionals.

She says she doesn’t like fluff either – everything she presents is either evidence-based or lived experience (most is both).

E49: Growth and development through audio books with Niomi Hurley

In this episode we talk about how powerful books can be on your personal growth and development. I share an extensive list of the books that have created some positive influence on my life and growth.

We also talk about how you can find the time to give yourself access to knowledge by using your NET time. It is far more helpful that using the ‘I don’t have enough time’ excuse to stay stagnant, because let’s be honest, we will always find the time to do the things that we want to do over the things that we should do.
