    Ep 40. Aussie Pre-Med Life and Aspiring Psychiatrist - Silvija Bojanic

    EPISODE 40. MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN MENTAL HEALTH For Uni Student and Aspiring Psychiatrist, Silvija Bojanic, overcoming anxiety with the assistance of a psychiatrist created a desire within her to help others in the same way. Currently studying an under-graduate degree in Health Science, on its completion her goal is to head to Medical School. Silvija discusses with us what is required to get into Medical School, people’s perceptions of psychiatry, addiction and her thoughts on medication. Whilst drug treatments have their place, Silvija believes a wholistic approach to overall health is an avenue that needs to be explored and would like to be an instrument in changing perceptions towards the profession. With a desire to work with serious cases in a high-stress hospital environment, she feels that although it would be challenging and confronting work, the ability to help these people would be incredibly rewarding. What sort of motivation and study commitment is required? How has COVID-19 affected university life? How does social media affect mental health? What is the GAMSAT exam? Knowing there is a long road ahead towards completion of her studies, Silvija is prepared to go anywhere and do anything required for the job, with her personal happiness the ultimate goal.

    Ep 35. Australian Ethical Sales Coaching - Ryan Tuckwood

    EPISODE 35. A FRESH LOOK ON SALES COACHING “Changing the perception of sales” is the mission of Business Owner Ryan Tuckwood’s business, SWISH Sales Coaching (Selling With Integrity, Selling Honestly). With a desire to help struggling sales people, six years ago Ryan and his business partner, Jack Corbett, set up their business, formerly known as ISR Training, firmly believing that they could make a positive impact in the sales industry with ethical sales coaching. Having created their own methodology and course content, Ryan trains sales people how to communicate and connect with people to express the value they can offer to them rather than a direct sales pitch benefiting them not only in their business but in their personal lives as well. Why is it necessary to receive sales training? How important is role-playing? How can you overcome objections? Fortunate to have appeared on the television program Shark Tank and now backed by three of their investors, their business has grown exponentially. Through the SWISH Academy, Ryan talks about the move from physical coaching into the digital world and its great advantages. Taking on the world of podcasting in July last year, Ryan believes it to be the best thing they have ever done. A very structured person, Ryan ensures his days are extremely productive, whilst deliberately preserving his precious time with his family. Passionate about their base on the Gold Coast, Ryan still has ambitions of taking their coaching internationally. Would you like to SWISH yourself into a new level of sales?
