In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Episode 217 - Three Warning Signs that Your Digital Agency is Gaslighting You 13:42

If you are like the majority of clients I speak to, you may not be working with a digital agency yet, but it’s probably on your radar to do at some point. If you are paying a digital agency to generate leads for you, then this week's episode will be a super important one for you. This week we are going to talk about what you should expect from a digital agency in terms of performance but just as importantly, how to spot it early if they are not doing the right thing. Paid lead generation is so important and can literally make or break a business. (new enquiries are like oxygen for most businesses) I have seen and had first hand experience with a number of my clients who stayed way too long with digital agencies who were underperforming. Here’s how to spot the warning signs early so you can get out fast and stop the bleeding before the rot sets in.…

Do you just send them your monthly newsletter or EDM? That’s what most clients say when I ask them how they keep in touch with past clients. This week, I’m not only showing you what the data tells us about precisely why clients leave… I’m also showing you exactly how to stay in touch with clients and what to say when you call so they find value in the contact. After all, if your clients get value each time you contact them they will stay a client longer. This is a much overlooked area in business that can make a massive difference to both the short-term profitability and the long-term value of your business.…

Episode 212 - How to Get the Best Out of Every Sales Opportunity 10:49

vor 28 weeks10:49

Want to know if you’re maximizing every potential sale? Today I am going to ask you 11 questions about your sales process. I have noticed recently talking to clients there’s been a bit of a dip in the economy so the timing on this should be spot on right now. As you listen and answer each question, giving yourself a mark out of 10, you’ll be able to pinpoint exactly where your sales opportunity system needs work. These 11 questions form part of a 21-point checklist I have been working through with clients to know what they need to fix next. Addressing any one of them can easily add another 5 - 30% to your conversion rate from lead to sale. Which could easily add hundreds of thousands of dollars to your monthly, quarterly or yearly sales figures. If you’d like me to send you the whole checklist, simply reply and I will email it to you (no opt-in).…

Are you trying to convert every prospect you talk to into a client? There are some clients you shouldn’t deal with. Today we talk about why and the three filters you should be applying to every client call you have. I know most of my content is about converting as many leads as possible into paying clients so this week I thought I would briefly break away from that. In this episode, you’ll learn… The three reasons you should not accept a new client and why. Why a large percentage of clients might think they need your help but they actually need something totally different. Why saying no can benefit you in the medium to long term. How to say no in a way that still serves your potential client. Plus I share a few of my own examples where I have had clients who really wanted to work with me and why (and how) I politely said no. This will be a very actionable episode for anyone who is speaking to potential clients.…
