don't work with tossers

In Episode 8 of Don't Work With Tossers - The Podcast, Duncan Lewis, Communication Trainer and Founder of Eaglei , shares his advice with Tina Boden about communicating in a Tosser trait-free way, something Duncan believes is a challenge for a lot of people.

Duncan shares how glossophobia, a strong fear of public speaking, is a problem many people, including business owners, face and how this can cause serious anxiety. They talk about how spoken communication is a big part of your personal branding. Duncan works with a diverse group of people from students, who he helps to improve interview skills,  to senior leaders who might need their communication skills tweaking. Tina and Duncan have a common belief that children as young as primary school age should be taught how to communicate correctly and they chat about this. Duncan believes that people hide so much of their real selves away from others in the work place. The work he does helps people to make an emotional connection through communication to overcome this.

A former director of professional theatre, Duncan now brings his experience and enthusiasm to support individuals and organisations, building and inspiring confidence in all his clients. With extensive experience in the private, public and third sectors, Duncan works all around the UK, but predominantly with businesses and in education across Yorkshire. He offers one day training workshops as well as individual coaching, supporting people to communicate their spoken messages more effectively and present the best version of themselves. 

Duncan augmented his knowledge base by studying an MA in Leadership and Management, graduating in 2013. In 2020, Duncan wrote his debut book Speak Out! How I Make an Emotional Connection in Communication.

In Episode 3 of Don't Work With Tossers - The Podcast, Tina Boden chats to Michael Edwards, Founder of The Northern Affinity, about why he founded a community for business owners to come together to support and promote each other. Mike talks about why he believes that knowledge, skills and experience are not the most important thing when connecting in business. Communicating correctly so you don't come across as a Tosser if you are not is also important in Mike's opinion as well.

Michael Edwards  is the owner of The Northern Affinity, a community of like-minded business people who come together to collaborate.  

He has seen and experienced the benefits of building a successful business and his family background means that he understands the ups and downs, the hopes and dreams and the impact that reaching your goals can have on you, your family and all those around you.

Michael started his career in financial services before becoming self employed in 2016 and building a business community where people have a platform to flourish is his passion.   The Northern Affinity was set up with one main ethos; If you can get good people together, you can achieve anything.
