I’ve been traveling for a conference and to spend my birthday/4th of July with my sister and best friend.
I love to spend my birthday in the US because it’s the day before the 4th of July – which makes it a 2-day celebration, in the middle of summer – with fireworks!
Unfortunately, the following weekend I attended the National Speakers Convention in Nashville, where I promptly got Covid and spent the next weeks isolating instead of going on a road trip with my best friend. The times we live in!
Isolation gave me lots of thinking time – and lots of time to strategize on new content, so expect fairly regular updates now through the end of the year.
My head is just buzzing with ideas.
Starting with 2 new masterclasses.
Feel free to grab your spot at one or both – and invite friends and colleagues.

About
In 2009 CEO and founder Kim Seeling Smith started Ignite Global after deciding that instead of being paid to put bums in seats (working as a recruiter for the 15 years prior to that) she wanted to help More
If you follow me on here you know that I’ve been through quite the journey with video, which is why I’m so excited about the next Professional Speakers Australia – PSA national event with video creation and marketing growth specialist Justin Brown.
Justin will share insider secrets on how to optimise your videos on YouTube so your content generates views for years after you upload it.
You’ll take away:
• How to structure your content to ‘bake-in’ key triggers that let YouTube know YOUR video is the one they should be promoting
• Keys to maximising watch time so your target audience sees more of you in action
• How to drive more engagement for even better results
Justin has a huge online community and this is your chance to get direct access to him.

We change the oil and rotate the tires on our car to keep it from breaking. We call this preventative maintenance. And research shows that regular, meaningful conversations do the same thing for our teams.
Yet so many managers complain they don’t have enough time to do this.
How much time would they save by avoiding problems by having proactive conversations to correct performance or behaviour and to find out what their team needs to be fully motivated, engaged and productive?
I’m curious, what has your experience been with implicit bias training?
Having spent 15 years working as a professional recruiter and 11 years teaching hiring managers how to hire more effectively and efficiently I’ve always felt that implicit bias training was a waste of time.
There is more and more research now backing up my gut feel. Here are two articles that unpack this pretty nicely.
Even worse, there is consistent evidence that bias training done the “wrong way” (think lukewarm diversity training) can actually have the opposite impact, inducing anger and frustration among white employees. What this all means is that, despite the widespread calls for implicit bias training, it will likely be ineffective at best; at worst, it’s a poor use of limited resources that could cause more damage and exacerbate the very issues it is trying to solve.

Thank you Sparks+Partners Consulting Engineers for inviting me to run one of my favorite workshops, “Soar with Your Strengths” for your end of year offsite last week. The main reason I love this workshop is that it gives you permission to stop beating yourself up about things that you aren’t good at and will never be good at by developing strategies to reach the same outcomes using strengths you do have.

I’m cheating a bit. Last week I promised to post 3 things that I found inspiring every Friday. Today I’m posting 20.
Last night I attended Consult Australia‘s FutureNet awards night for NSW (magnificently convened by Linda Gaunt). It was a COVID-safe event held in the Grand Ballroom of the ICC in Sydney. There were only 30 people in attendance including 19 of the 20 participants, all 4 of the mentors and the facilitators, like me, who...
