As my unforgettable journey around Europe draws to a close, I couldn't help but notice something quite remarkable during my recent visit to Dubai. Join me in today's video as I share my observations on how communication in this vibrant city has left me utterly amazed and inspired, especially when compared to my experiences across Europe.

 

Throughout my explorations, I've encountered diverse communication styles and cultural nuances that have enriched my understanding of human connection. From the charming cafes of Paris to the historic streets of Rome, every encounter has been a lesson in cross-cultural communication. However, my time in Dubai has brought a fresh perspective that I can't wait to share with you all.

 

In this video, I'll walk you through the various ways in which the people of Dubai have made me feel not only welcome but genuinely appreciated. From the attentive restaurant staff who go the extra mile to curate a delightful dining experience, to the taxi drivers who offer insightful local tips with warmth and authenticity, Dubai has shown me the power of communication in creating lasting memories.

 

Through heart-warming anecdotes and real-life examples, I'll shed light on the practices and gestures that set Dubai's communication style apart. It's more than just politeness; it's an embodiment of genuine hospitality and a deep-rooted cultural value of making guests feel like family.

 

If you're curious about the intricate dance of communication and the impact it can have on our travel experiences, this video is a must-watch. Join me in reflecting on the significance of genuine connections as I bid adieu to my European adventures and welcome the lessons Dubai has to offer.

In this episode of Backstage with PV3, Pat Quinn discusses the importance of negotiation when securing speaking opportunities. Pat shares insider tips from his multi-decade experience including the emphasis on resisting immediately saying yes when offered a speaking opportunity! Three keys to stage negotiation Pat unpacks are Logistics (such as the length and topic of the speech, and the number of attendees), Compensation (including speaking fees and expense coverage), and Opportunity (the chance to sell products or services, collect leads, or gain access to the attendee list). 

Additionally, learn how to offer additional value, such as hosting a free webinar or additional training, to increase your chances of securing the best possible terms.

Enjoy this episode of Backstage!

Communication is complex when we have many thoughts running around in our heads.  This can disturb our flow and voice tone and presence for others.   Self consciousness takes the energy out of the communication.  So the inner voice first and then the outer.   When we are speaking we need to keep in mind that the needs of others and our own needs.   We need to debrief our intention and our limitation in what we are saying.   Being confident speaker is about doing you own work which is to be mindful and present with your own needs, such as hesitations,  intentions, fears, needs, feelings and once we do that you can then approach the conversation or presentation with greater confidence and purpose.

More About Jenna

Jenna Kutcher is a small-town girl from Minnesota, best-selling author, podcaster, educator, photographer with big dreams and the #1 Marketing Podcast in the country.

“I didn’t always have this business: the clients, the courses, the book, the sales, the millions of downloads…”

In fact, just a decade ago, you could have found Jenna wearing red and khaki, exhausted in her stuffy windowless office. “I thought I had landed my dream job, but that dream turned into a ladder-climbing nightmare…”

At the age of 23, she invested in a $300 Craigslist camera. Little did she know that camera would be her one-way ticket out of my windowless office corporate job. That single investment led Jenna to the 7-figure empire she is running today (and a bestselling book that tells the whole story). Today, you can find Jenna snuggled up in my cozy Minnesota craftsman with my two pups or basking on the beaches of Lake Superior with her husband and beautiful girls.

More About Stormy

Born in New York, moved to San Francisco, and eventually rooted and raised in Miami, Florida, Stormy's journey was far from easy. With humble beginnings, she was born with a burning desire to succeed.

Incredible as it may seem, she was raised mostly by her brothers, family, and friends while her mother took care of her business in the streets.

Tough upbringing couldn't stop her... today, she is arguably the most powerful woman in direct sales, traveling the world, and helping thousands resonate with inner peace and wealth.

Her mission is to help women become the highest and best version of themselves by knowing themselves, loving themselves, and embracing themselves. There’s absolutely nothing you can’t do and no one you can’t be.
