First Time Facilitator Leanne Hughes

Hey First Time Facilitators! I'm dropping a quick episode on this feed as I think some of you may relate to this: You’ve launched a mentoring program in your business. Congrats! Through the first few months of check-ins, you discover that your pairings are meeting together. 

Then, after three months, you notice the enthusiasm has waned a little. Meetings become less frequent. Business priorities take over.
If you’re in this situation, don’t be alarmed. It’s what I prescribe as Mentor Fade. It’s completely normal.
So, what can you do instead? In this sharp, 10 min episode, I share a cool approach to creating more friendtor relationships in your business (thanks to Jenny Blake for sharing that awesome word on her Pivot podcast).

Aloha! I've just returned from a week in Kauai with my fellow Alan Weiss Growth Cycle group. What better way to reflect on what we discussed and learnt over there, than by a quick, solo episode. Oh, of course I also reflect on Kauai as a travel destination (spoiler alert: it's awesome).
 
 Here are some things I shared in the episode:

I created this episode for my new podcast but thought I'd share it on this feed today because it's definitely a facilitator-focused question!

Watch my video walk-through of this episode.

In today's Two by Tuesday I answer a question I get a lot: What virtual tool could I use to ramp up the engagement in my virtual event?
Firstly - purpose we know is the most critical element. That aside, what else is important to consider?
In this episode I think two key considerations are your group size and accessibility requirements. 
What I find is often: The simpler, the better/ Don't go too crazy. Don't think you need to ham up your workshops with all these tech tools, just because you want to impress people, it really has to connect to that purpose. 
 What your favorite tech tool is for your virtual events?
Two by Tuesday is a weekly segment on Leanne Hughes' Work and Live Large Podcast.

You know how you have those friends from a while ago, and you mainly stay in contact with them by occasionally seeing what they're up to on social media? 

I've been friends with today's guest since 2008, and when I glance at his socials, I'm pretty amazed to see him taking groups mountain biking around Nepal, on the Kokoda track in Papua New Guinea, and running marathons in NYC.
At an early age, Matt had some profound experiences that taught him how powerful they are at bringing perspective and clarity to life. Wanting to help businesses and individuals dream big and have their own experiences, Matt become uniquely qualified as a Physiotherapist and Chiropractor.

He is the CEO of The Custodian Way which owns a group of companies that all share one common mission which is: " To create a global movement and deliver 30 Million Impact Moments every year by the year 2030".

The Custodian Way owns these brands:
PEAK Sport And Spine CentreEmploy Health Aust and NZExperience Not Felt PossibleMatt also sits on the Board of the 4ASDKids Charity.

In this conversation, you'll hear how Matt:
Casts away constraint to dream bigCreates non-traditional ways of working (including pragmatic, overhauled approaches for recruitment and remuneration)Lives his values through daily decisionsAcknowledges the power of language to dismiss social constructs  Conversation moments

I'm flying to Las Vegas tomorrow! I booked my flights a few days ago. Why? Life is too short and YOLO. The reason I'm sharing that with you, is because it's a theme that strongly underpins this #friendsoffirsttimefacilitator conversation with Charles Hsuan from Flying Kite.

Charles chats to Leanne about her childhood. She relays how her natural penchant for planning awesome birthday parties as a kid blossomed into a fully-fledged business. Leanne also shares how her mixed upbringing taught her the value of time. She translates this to what she offers her clients in respect to having an intentional plan and design to make workshops 'pop'.
As an avid reader, Leanne appreciates good content. More so, she believes that good content should be packaged in a way that is meaningful.
Leanne also shares her journey from a corporate employee to an entrepreneur. She is a firm believer in dreaming big, embracing serendipitous moments, and taking chances.
This episode is full of book references, sprinkled with mention of Leanne’s sporting background. So, tune in to learn more about the Three C’s and the importance of focussing on results rather than methodology. And along with all the informative tidbits, you'll be treated to Leanne’s zest for life.
