Today I want to talk to you about a concept that will allow you to confidently win more work. 

And it’s the concept of - adding value to your client’s world. 

This concept works in all areas of winning work, business development, client relationships as well as generating significantly more revenue from your existing client relationships. 

Whether you’re looking at a new client relationship, one that you haven’t done work with before or an existing client relationship, because you’d like to generate more revenue from your current client relationship - I want you to always ask yourself this question – “How can I add value to my client’s world?” 

If you can constantly and consistently be looking at your clients through the lens of – “what do they really need help with” and “what’s the value myself, my team and my business can bring to this client relationship” then you are well on your way to securing a new client or more work from your existing clients. 

Why? 

Because no one else ...

Do you get frustrated and feel like you and your team aren’t meeting your client’s needs? 

Do you feel like you are constantly on the back foot and always trying to play catch up in order to service your clients properly and deepen the relationship? 

Today I want to explore with you one of the best ways to ensure you have an actual plan in place to build successful relationships with your clients. 

This is a busy time at the moment for the Engineering and Construction Industry, and as a business leader it is important that you are doing everything that you possibly can to play the long game and develop client relationships for life.

Do you feel like you are being pulled down into the day-to-day and can’t find the time for the bigger picture strategic thinking and planning?

Do you feel exhausted, tired & overwhelmed, but also feel like you can’t leave your desk or take a break?

Everyone is extremely busy at the moment, but as a business leader you need to be super conscious of your own energy levels and your own priorities in order to balance the demands that are being placed on you.

In today’s video I explore the importance of building in regular ‘resets’ into your day in order to take a break, rest and recharge.

You need to be focused on filling your own cup up first. Otherwise, if you fall down or burnout – who is going to lead and guide those around you?

If you want to be able to function at your best, grow a successful team and business - then it is critical to create regular ‘resets’ in your day.

I hope you’re having an amazing week! 

With everything being so hectic and so busy at the moment, today I want to talk to you about the importance of leveraging your time. 

The reality is that you can’t do everything. And as a leader or business owner, you need to have your attention across all areas of your team or your business. 

That means you need to be across winning work, new business, client relationships, team performance, an aspect of project delivery, as well as the strategic direction and growth of your team or your business. 

You get it, “all of the things”. 

If you try to be deeply across all of the areas of your team or your business that I’ve just mentioned above and you try to take responsibility for all of these areas, you’ll simply blow up and burn out. 

So, if you want to be successful and grow a really profitable team and business, you have to get really good at leveraging your time.

Leveraging your time works in a number of different ways. Firstly it’s deleg...

Are you feeling incredibly frustrated that when you delegate something to your team, they just don't get it? 

Do you feel that no matter how much you try your best to explain things, it seems like you are not being heard?

Did you know that human beings need to see, hear, or do something 7 to 10 times before they actually get it and are able do it by themselves? 

So, if you are expecting that your team or the people around you will understand everything after explaining it once or twice, you will end up being VERY disappointed and frustrated. 

As a business leader, it is important for you to understand that human behaviour will play a big part in the growth of your business.

Having a mindset and an awareness that it will take you 7 to 10 times to explain something before your team actually gets it, will help you immensely. 

If you want to free yourself from some of your daily tasks, become a confident leader and grow a successful team & business – then it is so important that you ...

With the market as busy as it is right now, as well as there still being levels of uncertainty in our economy, building resilience is such a key skill for you to master. 

Now resilience is absolutely a skill that can be developed and learnt, but it requires a level of self-awareness, self-reflection, a willingness to get a bit uncomfortable and to take consistent action to build this skill over time.

You see, resilience is essentially the way at which you view life circumstances, life situations and what is happening to you or around you. Resilience is also then the action that you choose to take in response to adversity and ‘negative’ things happening to you. 

Let me tell you - if you get flustered, or overwhelmed, or want to bury your head in the sand and hide every time something doesn’t go your way, or a negative situation occurs in your day - then you aren’t going to be an effective leader and you aren’t going to be able to achieve the levels of success that you are aiming for....

Today I want to talk to you about a growth mindset concept called - If You’re Not Winning, You’re Learning. 

If you haven’t read it yet - Mindset by Carol Dweck - then I highly recommend this book as it’s all about adopting a growth mindset for yourself. 

A lot of us have learnt and have adopted a story within us that tells us that if we fail, then we are not good enough. We unfortunately tend to beat ourselves up when things don’t go to plan, we get hard on ourselves and down on ourselves, and this serves to reinforce a core or underlying belief that I’m no good when I fail or when things don’t go to plan. 

There is however, a completely different way to look at our failures.

And that is to look at these failures through the lens of - I’m either winning or I’m learning. 

And instead of beating ourselves up and getting down on ourselves when things don’t go to plan or things don’t work out for us, we instead choose to get excited that we are learning and growing. 

If we can shift...

I hope you’re having an amazing day.

Today I want to talk about why understanding your unique personality style matters.

Let me explain.

Recently I ran a training program for my clients in my Boardroom program. We are exploring at the moment how to motivate, inspire and influence their team around them to lead to greater levels of success for their team & business.

In this training, we explored the four different personality styles, what motivates each personality style, what drives and inspires each personality style as well as what demotivates each style.

The reason we are exploring this topic & concept is that so many leaders and business owners fall into the trap of assuming that they can lead everyone on their team, and everyone around them the same way in order to get the same results.

This is simply not true.

As I was walking everyone in the training through the four main personality styles, I made a comment that one particular personality style, called the Stabiliser per...

Welcome to the start of a new year! 

I’m sure you’ve got a million things running through your head in terms of what you’d like to achieve this year! And it’s awesome to have heaps of goals to work towards and it’s fantastic to have entered a new year with a level of energy and excitement towards what you’re wanting to achieve. 

A trap that many fall into so easily at the start of a new year is getting excited, writing down a massive list of goals and things that you want to achieve this year, making a start on everything and taking massive amounts of action, then getting super overwhelmed and burnt out and by March they’re not taking any action towards their goals and they’re back to doing the same old thing that they did last year. 

Today I want to talk to you about an amazing concept that’s been pivotal in my life and it’s helped my clients achieve the results and the success that they are looking for. 

It’s a concept called Simplify, Prioritise, then Execute. 

The reality is t...
