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.

Once a Leader I admire said to me: “I’m going to stop you there. You’re the problem.” She continued, “I can hear by the way you’re talking that you’re doing the work and your team are none the wiser.” . How to fix? It took many many months of rewiring against my automatic habit of ‘I’ll just do it myself’ to learn how to delegate. I had to start thinking about it differently. Instead of being the Cake, I had to get my team to be the Cake so I could be ICING, adding my flavour and sprinkle. . My real life experiences of not delegating inspired one of our most popular modules in our Essential Skills for Managers training programme: Delegation Toolkit. . Here's how to bring it to life: 🧁 In one column, write down your tasks. EVERY ONE OF THEM. 🧁 In the second, next to this column, write how it could be broken up into parts (don’t write down names just yet). 🧁 In a third column, consider: if my team had a template, had an example and - important - knew what GOOD looked like - who could do this instead of me? . Something really cool happens here. You start feeling pumped to help your team own their superpowers. . So, as a small mindset hack to take into work tomorrow: think about your current workload, are you all icing, or all cake? What opportunities exist to map out a plan where your team are delivering one boss as, flavoursome cake based on their competencies, so you can add your magic icing? . Fun fact: the more your team start baking that sweet cake, the less icing you’ll have to do. For real. And from there? Your job becomes less managing traffic flow and more encouraging your team to refine their critical thinking muscle so the quality of work (and deadlines LOL) become a well oiled machine. What does that mean? . 🥕Here’s a carrot we hope you’ll get into: you move away from icing the cake and to the SPRINKLES. Who doesn’t love that?!
Din Tai FUN!
Sadie here! The Happiness Concierge Feed Forward framework is a key part of our Presentation training and the cornerstone to suscess at Presentation Bootcamp. Why do we love it so much? We see the positive impact it has on people, we see how receiving considered feed forward can change lives. . A piece of feedback that has always stuck with me is; ‘We love your warmth and dinner party host vibes on stage, everyone feels welcome. To ensure you’re warm and clear with your instructions, treat the audience like a group of dinner party guests who have never been to your house before. You might know where the toilet is, however they don’t.’ I always find it easy to smile and present warmly, however its vital I remember that it’s the first time my audience are hearing a message - even if I’ve presented it 200 times before. This piece of feedback means my audience are guaranteed to receive clear instructions, delivered with enthuasim. . We have limited places remaining for Presentation Bootcamp in Sydney, link in our bio.
LOOK CLOSELY! 😂💀 When the name tag activity goes bad.
In a recent chat with @abclife about ‘Knowing how to pitch yourself and get work when you’re self-employed’ we totally vibed answering these questions. 👌🏻 . Q: Can you describe the early days of Happiness Concierge - how did you secure your first few clients? A: I approached as many businesses as I could and presented anywhere that would have me to test my content, get feedback and build solid case studies. At times, I worked for free. But it was worth it. I’m a believer in never allowing a paying client to absorb your mistakes: do it on your own dime, take your own risk, become great on your own time so you can be worth every cent. ‘Feeling’ like you should be paid is not the same as ‘proven case studies’. Because these case studies gave our first paying clients a real sense as to the impact we could make, the quality they could expect, and the confidence that we had what it takes to deliver. You can’t buy what you can’t see. . Q: You talk a lot about the follow up – can you share some insights on why it's helpful and how people can execute it in their own solo or small businesses? A: A lot of people attend networking events to meet exciting new contacts but hesitate to follow up due to fear of rejection. But networking only works when you follow up! Less than 5% of people I meet follow up, and only 1% deliver what they say they will through action. It pays to be that 1%, because opportunities are attached to people. Selling is about authenticity, conviction and momentum. The sooner you gain the confidence to act, the sooner business will soar. 🦅❤️ . PHAOW!! Super booooooost your day, and career in one post! BA-DA-BING!!!! ✅✅✅✅
“We never tell each-other how much we respect each other. We should. It’s really powerful...” Amazing response from a community member who was part of our Perfect You Pitch tour this year. 🙌👏🙌👏
What’s on your ‘yes’ list? . Earlier this week I ran a public speaking client through this exercise which enables them to say FLIP YES to opportunities which rock their world, and help increase their confidence in saying NO to opportunities which, while are awesome, divert from the big/awesome/terrifyingattimes/and completely DOABLE goal. . Often when we’re not feeling tip top, it can feel easier to start with the ‘no’ list. I get that. HOWEVER… when we start with our ‘yes’ list, it forces us to think below the surface, and into what lights us up. . For some of us, our goals are tangible: I’d like to earn X by Y date. For others it’s more of a vibe: eg, I want to feel good or remember who I am. So if you find yourself in the ‘I need a minute before saying yes or no’ to opportunities, aka a good problem to have, here’s how the decision making works: . 🔥 YES LIST: What I define as exciting / valuable is… 🤮 NO LIST: My definition of dull / un-fun / low value is… 🤷🏻‍♀️ TO STILL NUT OUT: I don’t know what column this fits in but what about when…. [there’s money / there’s excitement, reference your yes list against this list]. . Below are a few examples as a starting point to ponder. . Yes List Examples: 🔥 I am learning new things 🔥 It gives me access to an audience / network who don’t know me yet 🔥 It involves cash money 🔥 It’s terrifying enough to capture my attention 🔥 People smarter than me are involved 🔥 I feel accepted . No List examples: 🤮 I’ve done it before so there’s less to learn and I’m at risk of complacency 🤮 It takes me away from making more time for my yes pile 🤮It reinforces my insecurity which is (being needed, being employable) 🤮 It promotes a scarcity mindset 🤮 I feel ‘meh’ 🤮 For some reason I just do not care . To Nut Out examples / chat through with someone: 🤷🏻‍♀️ When it involves a sizeable chunk of money (ticking the cash money bucket) but I still feel ‘meh’ 🤷🏻‍♀️ When I’m at capacity but it sounds awesome . What might yours look like? Be a fun activity perhaps to spend some time with yourself this weekend and have a ponder during Instagram scrolls / time on the loo? x YOU KNOW YOU DO IT
