Get Noticed: Sydney

  • WeWork Martin Place Martin Place Sydney, NSW, 2000 Australia (map)

I'm joining the League of Extraordinary Women to discuss how any person, regardless of role can get noticed at work. I'll be speaking about three fundamentals to focus on: how you are perceived, what your network is like and what your profile is like. This will be with a network of female entrepreneurs, so also a great opportunity to network if you are looking to extend your network, too. Book tickets here.

What #community is all about! These two 👑 👑 rock stars met at a Happiness Concierge gathering last year and have struck up a supportive friendship, sharing superpowers, high fives AND getting their side project on, with a passion project called @2unemployedgirls. Thank you @nushyb and @_giftofthegab_ for making the Slack community what it is. . 📷 @geenaglass #flcmelb
Countless studies tell us taking regular breaks turbo charges our productivity. HC @nickkarpetis shared his top tips with Sydney’s MLC Centre on how to ace the shortest of lunch breaks this week. Here are a few of our faves! . At the start of the day (or when you feel a bit stuck), write down your to do list and see what tasks can be ‘batched’ together. Batching is when you put similar tasks together to improve productivity. For example, if you have a few calls to make, do those one after another, then short break. If you have writing tasks, do that as another block, then break. For Nick, he likes to set aside at least 20 minutes before starting the day to mentally mind-map what he is going to achieve that day and have that on his desk so it motivates him to have a break afterwards. . Know the feeling of a big, ‘scary’ task you’re dreading? Don’t we all! By breaking a task down into smaller chunks, says Nick, you soon realise that it’s actually achievable, and it also gives you an idea of areas where you might need help, whether that be because you need to delegate or it’s an area that might not be your superpower, ammiriight. This can help with overwhelm and ‘task paralysis’ which we see a lot at HC. . Understand what kind of break you need: If you can, a walk outside is the best; get some sunshine and fresh air, even a small break of 15 minutes can provide great benefits. For others, it’s calling a friend, or non work related buddy as a break from the day to day. For some of our awesome community, they like to do retail therapy or read a trashy mag at the nail salon. There’s no ‘wrong’ way to do a break, the idea is that you have breaks away from your tasks so you’re refreshed and more productive on your return. . Studies tell us we’re more accountable with friends. Team up with a work buddy and get involved with regular walks, runs or activities, or have a DEADLINE. Having a deadline with someone you’re not keen on disappointing is a sure fire way to GSD. Good luck! . @mlccentre #productivity #breaks #work #hacks

Post workshop vibes! . At HC we know networking is about two things: finding people you vibe with and exuding warmth and competence so that people leave the event remembering you. 🤗 . People remember us best when we make them feel awesome about themselves. This is really easy if you set a mantra to be curious and interested, and ask lots of questions. This will also drill down into helping other people share the real them, which is the them you are most likely to vibe with. That’s the them you will have coffee with when you follow up, and the them that will put your name forward for job opportunities because they know you are super competent, and open to new opportunities and experiences. . We hear a lot that networking makes people nervous and worried about how they will be perceived, “what if I don’t have anything to say worth listening to?”. Well guess what?! Most other people are feeling like that too! And if someone does you the service of asking about your life, your job and your passions, go them the service of being your real and genuine self. They may become your boss, bestie or colleague! . What’s the one simple thing you can do that will help speed all of this along and make you seem like the worlds best network?? A BIG SMILE. It really is such a small thing that can make a big impact on how other people respond to you. . Tonight we saw an awesome team of amazing people share their best and genuine selves at Work the Room at @melbourne_ga. We couldn’t have been prouder to watch their nerves turn to excitement and enthusiasm as they aced every interaction and practiced exiting with warmth! Great night! Great people! Great vibes! Networking WIN! Thanks for being such an awesome audience: now we 🍲 pho! . - Huon @sageassistance

It’s not all about running - it’s about community. What a pleasure it was this morning to have brunch with HC Community and HCRC members, discussing how we can keep each other accountable. . After our brunch session - we opened a group direct message on Slack, to continue the conversation. . Hopefully it won’t be raining next week - so we can get outside. Although, maybe we should start a brunch club too! . #melbourne #melbeats #community
“Describe in fascinating detail what you had for breakfast.” 🍳 . Last week’s participants at HC’s Presentation Basics were asked to describe what they had for breakfast. The lesson was less about content and more about getting comfortable with adapting on the spot and addressing how adrenaline turns up for us when we present. . “What did you notice when presenting your breakfast presentations?”, we asked. “clammy hands”, said one. “Dry throat“, said another. “I could feel myself speeding up”, said a third. Afterwards, we showed short videos of professional performers and speakers; one of whom is a well known comedian. In this example, he could be seen with his handshaking due to adrenaline at one point. “You know what?”, we said, “even the pros get adrenaline.” Getting comfortable knowing what to expect means we can get on with managing it on stage - withers that’s a boardroom, small talk with colleagues or talking to your someone you care about constructively. . 📷 @jessieobialor #lifeatga @melbourne_ga
