Being a manager is not an easy thing. It's even tougher when you find yourself as a manager but with little experience.

I am joined by Andy Neilson to chat about the buyer’s journey - quite literally. Andy has been involved in procurement for much of his career - from the world of the potteries working with brands such as Royal Worcester, Denby and Spode to Halfords, Fitness First, and he held a global position at Clarks as Group Head/Vice President of Procurement Supply Chain & Logistics. There isn’t much Andy doesn’t know about procurement. So the sales woman meets the buyer! But this wasn’t a showdown and the normal battle we have been used to all of these years. This was a human conversation about how buyer’s can actually teach sales people a huge amount about building relationships. You can imagine that I loved it! Andy now runs his own business working as a consultant to show businesses not only all of the amazing knowledge he has in procurement, but working with sales people to create cost savings through collaboration whilst building long term relationships. We talk about… Aspiring to be a fighter pilot His journey in procurement from the potteries to Global VP Human relationships in business The devastating impact of his breakdown His ongoing journey with mental wellness How sales and procurement can be a match made in heaven… …who knew!

It's not often you get to have a conversation with a world record holder, but there is a whole lot more to Kevin Gaskell that makes him a truly inspirational person. As CEO of successful world class brands - Porsche, Lamborghini, and BMW , and as a serial entrepreneur who has built international companies from ‘a good idea’, Kevin has created over £3 billion in shareholder value – and yet has still found time to climb the world’s highest mountains, walk to both North and South Poles, compete in international sport and play in a rock band - and did I mention his world record from rowing across the Atlantic. On this epic achievement he said, “We have crossed the ocean and we all came out of it still friends. That was our main aim. I am very privileged to have been part of that. I feel incredibly fortunate”. Kevin and his Atlantic rowing team are now World Record holders for the fastest row across the Atlantic in a 5 man boat. The epic journey, which took 35 days 19 hours and 50 minutes, raised more than £100k for the Plastic Soup Foundation, a charity that fights against the build up of plastics in oceans. In this podcast we get to know more about the experiences he has had and he leaves us in no doubt that if we 'Dare to dream' we can do anything. As he says ordinary people can do extraordinary things. His book is 'Inspired Leadership and you can get it here - https://amzn.to/3h3Mozc Well worth a listen if you ever thought you can't do something.

In this episode I was delighted to have a human conversation with the brilliant Loz Jones. I was lucky enough to work with him about 4 years ago in a digital marketing agency and we met again for coffee - just before the lockdown. It was amazing to catch up and discover so much more about him than I knew.

We chat about... 🌟His new business - Creative Sound & Vision 🌟His love of music and when it started 🌟His journey and discovery that he had bipolar disorder 🌟A real account of how we can be better educated about the disorder 🌟The amazing music that he wrote during is journey His album is called 'Carrot Shaped Stick' and is about aspiration, disconnection, desperation, love and resurrection. The metaphor for the use of a combination of reward and punishment to induce a desired behaviour. Loz wrote, sang and produced the whole album and 50% of the royalties he earns from sales of the album will go to MIND, the mental health charity.

At last I got to speak to this legend who I call my 'brother from another mother' due to the fact that we speak about sales in exactly the same way. Many sales coaches and trainers say what they think we all want to hear but both Dale and I have walked everything that we talk about. Here we discuss life, his journey from a young man to where he is today, and how our Dad's were indeed our heroes and showed us what sales was truly about - connection and relationships. They are both very proud of us and we know that - I loved my human conversation with this man. One day we will work together and I'm working on that being a Day One!

What a great and inspiring human conversation with this young man all the way from New York. Yes someone so young who has already done so much and has such a fabulous outlook on life. Jordan Gross is a writer, leadership coach, speaker, and self-proclaimed multipotentialite. Jordan is a trailblazer for positive change, optimism, and the belief that our daily actions can help us all overcome stress and anxiety We talk about his journey and chasing the dream - but how he kept chasing the dream until it felt right. Even when the pressures around us tell us we 'should' be doing certain things in a certain order - he followed his heart every time and still gained a breadth of experience because he tried stuff! This inspiring conversation leads us to hear about how he wrote his book and developed his Cloud 9 concept which is really interesting. I for one can't wait to read the book which is due out Christmas/ New Year time.

Such a great conversation with the inspiring Brian Schulman from 'Voice Your Vibe'. Brian has lived with Tourettes and the difficulties it has thrown at him and yet he is such a happy and inspirational human being. When people face adversity they choose to either live by it or die from it - hypothetically. This conversation is truly inspiring following Brian's story, how his mother was such an amazing woman when he was growing up and how he has become the man he is today - now giving back and sharing his inspiration with everyone he meets. I called this 'getting comfortable being uncomfortable' because Brian uses this phrase a couple of times and it just about sums up his journey. Please connect with this wonderful man and like and share our conversation so that everyone we connect with can benefit from his wisdom. https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianschulman/ Send a personalised invite on LinkedIn and you will connect with him.

What a great human conversation with Doug Thompson. He is a Senior Technology Strategist for Microsoft and has been for over 18 years. A 'unicorn' (his words) who can do the nerdy stuff, but also connect with the people sales side. A rare breed, but so glad I had this conversation. We didn't plan a subject for this podcast, it was purely about meeting a new friend and during our chat I realised a huge thing. I had not connected with Doug because of Microsoft, as awesome as that is, I had actually connected with his personal brand. So I named this podcast after just that - the discovery of personal brand - what does it really mean. Watch and you may well discover that this is one very important brand you just can't ignore, because it is uniquely powerful being just you! Thank you Doug - if you want to connect with Doug the look up 'The Doug Thompson' because there is only one Doug! LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedougth...
