asking for what you want

Are you looking to deepen your connections and enhance your ability to influence those around you?

This conversation will take you on a journey through the nuances of human behavior, connection, and self-improvement.

Leadership and communication are the central themes, dissected from multiple angles by best selling author and Tedx Speaker Savvas Trichas Ph.D; he holds a Ph.D. in Human Resource Management and Marketing and has collaborated with several prestigious universities in the US and Internationally.

At the start, Dr. Ioannou and Savvas explore the power of body language and its impact on our self-perception and interaction with others. They discuss intriguing concepts like the power pose and its hormonal effects, offering insights into how you can consciously influence your emotional states.

29:28 - How Servers Increased Tips by 21%
33:55 - Public Speaking Creates Strong Connections
45:17 - Using The "Crazy Demand Principle" To Get a Yes

The conversation then shifts to the complexities of influence in various settings, including personal relationships and business. Savvas shares studies such as the zoo experiment, illustrating how influence can be wielded effectively and ethically.

The discussion about how misinformation spreads and the responsibility that comes with the power of influence is both timely and thought-provoking. This episode is a goldmine for current and aspiring leaders seeking to deepen their understanding and approach to leadership.

Press play to explore the depths of influence, mental health, and leadership in what promises to be an enlightening and transformative listen.

Truth & Transformation is an unpolished raw podcast about unearthing the crap that holds us back. Aimed at women who want it all and wanna feel damn good about themselves. We will talk openly about struggles, the highs and lows of life, sex, family, relationships, emotions, healing, mindset, dreams, spirituality, vulnerability, money, bisexuality and so much more - in fact, nothing is really off the table. If it's holding you back from the life you want we will talk about it. If you wanna feel damn good we need to talk about the real stuff so that's what we are doing here. I believe when we love ourselves our life really transforms in the most beautiful ways and when we don't love ourselves we don't feel enough or fulfilled. This is a podcast to bridge the gap. It's a podcast about feeling good about yourself, living life in your truth, on your terms.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Men want to make us happy. If a man is really into you, he will be listening for cues and ways to help you get what you want, which will make him feel like a hero. 
• What does it mean to be truly emotionally naked, and how can it help you get what you truly desire? 
• Stop saying that you don’t WANT or NEED a man, and say this instead! 
• How can you communicate in a way that is not demeaning or smothering, but compassionate and kind? 
• What are the biggest mistakes women make which actually causes the opposite of them getting what they want? 
• What can we learn about a man’s relationship with his mother? 
• Before you ask a man for something or set up any expectations, you need to get really, really clear on what it is you want. 
• As much as we may wish he was, a man isn’t a mindreader!

• “You’ve got to let somebody come into the relationship and see who they are to see if it’s somebody you can be with.” - Lisa 
• “You’re going to have to learn how to ask for what you want and need but in a romantic, loving, and respectful way.” - Lisa

How different would your life be if you weren’t afraid to ask for what you deserve? 

In this week’s episode, we’re talking all things negotiation and how to confidently go after the things you want in life, with negotiation expert Fotini Iconomopoulos!

A lot of us don’t even realize that anytime you want someone to say "yes” to something, you're actually entering a negotiation. So whether it’s saying yes to a raise, to buying your product, to buying a house, or to ordering in from YOUR favourite restaurant...you, friends, are already negotiating! 

And here’s the thing: Negotiations are not about bulldozing others so you can get your way...it’s about creating a collaboration that helps both parties get what they want. It’s about confidence, clear communication, listening and empathy, and when you break it down like that, a lot of us already have these skills—we just need to apply them!

Fotini dives into all of this and more. She’s been helping people get what they want for decades through her new book, keynotes, workshops and virtual courses, which teach the negotiation and communication skills required to navigate any scenario. She teaches MBA Negotiations at the Schulich School of Business at York University, and in April 2021, Fotini is releasing her first book “Say Less, Get More: Unconventional Negotiation Techniques to Get What You Want”, so stay tuned for that!

Listen to our chat to learn more about: 

• 3 ways to practise negotiating on a daily basis: 6:29

• All the ways you don’t realize you’re negotiating: 12:47

• What’s holding most women back from asking for what they want: 15:10

• The most effective language to use in negotiations and phrases to avoid: 19:07

• Why pauses are okay and key to any negotiation: 24:26

• Key body language cues to look out for: 29:35

• How emotional intelligence is crucial in a negotiation: 37:03

• The difference between being assertive and aggressive: 41:16

• How to ask for a raise in 2021: 43:13

• Easy ways to brush up on your negotiation skills: 49:38

We hope this episode inspires you to go after what you want and ask for what you deserve!
