High Performance Made Simple Tanya Semerad

We live and work in a hyper-connected, fast-paced society - and the truth is that there will always be some form of distraction, urgency, or emergency to respond to. There will always be people, problems, and feeds that will demand your attention and drain your energy.

The way to gain work-life balance is to learn a specific set of skills that will allow you to take control of how and where your time is spent, together with mastery over the skills of influence and positive persuasion, so that you can enlist and empower the right people to help you get the important work done. No more burning the midnight oil, and no more feeling overwhelmed about your workload, and guilty about not being present with the people you care about.

By the end of this episode, you will learn these two key skills to cultivate work-life balance so that you can create the personal and professional success that you want.

Here's a glance at this episode:
[01:10] Intro to gaining work-life balance and why we can't rely on intermittent holidays to "get balanced".

[06:54] Work-life balance practice #1: how to own your calendar and go from reacting to requests to initiating progress across your whole life. You've got to protect time in advance for what and who matter most, before everyone else puts time in your diary.

[26:03] Work-life balance practice #2: how to master the art of influence and persuasion… to enlist others and empower them to do well, so you're not the work by yourself in personal time.

[35:06] Free e-book: 10X your influence.

Do you find yourself wondering whether you really "belong" in the meeting? It's normal for self-doubt to creep in... And it's normal to feel like an imposter sometimes, especially when we feel that other people are way more qualified than us.

When we get "stuck in our heads" doubting and overthinking, we miss crucial moments to make an impact.

By the end of this episode, you will have seven key ideas to try, that will dislodge any grip that doubt or Imposter Syndrome have on you, so that you can feel more clear, calm, and confident in business.

Here's a glance at this episode:
[01:11] Intro to self-doubt in business.

[04:15] Imposter Syndrome... self-doubt's ugly cousin.

[08:29] First big idea: know why you're there in the meeting.

[11:04] Second big idea: know your values and what you stand for. You'll be able to challenge others to step up or step aside and make room for people who want to be in the room!

[13:03] Third big idea: learn the science of influence. There are clear steps that anyone can learn and implement in their very next meeting to be more clear, calm, and confident at work.

[16:53] Fourth big idea: expect difficult conversations and tasks.

[19:20] Fifth big idea: make it a habit to recognise and integrate your achievements.

[23:04] Sixth big idea: challenge any negative self-talk.

[25:31] Seventh big idea: redefine "failure".

Building your influence persona is about developing your personal brand so that you feel clear, calm, and confident about yourself when you’re presenting, wanting to contribute during meetings, and leading important conversations… whether internally (with colleagues) or externally (with clients and prospects).

Building your influence persona is something that all professional people should do or review every year, whether or not they’re in leadership, to stay relevant in businesses, markets, and relationships that are constantly in flux.

By the end of this episode, you will develop your own influence persona!

Release tension and re-energise in 5 minutes!

Tension builds up throughout the day... From the moment the alarm buzzes, to every notification, meeting, ambition, screen lighting up, to-do list, unread email, self-judgment, set-back, and hour-to-hour effort to maintain high performance.

This tension affects our output, mood, decision-making, influence, leadership, and ability to forge meaningful connections with others.

Repeat daily. For best results, repeat morning, afternoon, and after you finish work (before you see your family).
