The Social Dilemma, a Netflix movie, that you should see if you haven't already, highlights manipulation, fake news and many of the alleged coercive aspects of social networks.

You can decide and let me know what you think by messaging me.

Whether you are thinking in terms of your personal brand, your business brand or something else, how the world perceives your brand will precede anything you say or communicate. It's therefore essential to be mindful about how the world thinks about you. In this short episode I share a story about a squirrel and some magpies that had a bit of a scrap in our garden and how that reminded my of the importance of creating a consistent and authentic brand, before you begin to engage with the world, communicate and influence behaviour. What do you think?

Marketing Pulse is my new mini-series of observations of commercial and marketing life post-Covid-19. In this episode I'll focus on Circular Business. Charles Nixon, Chairman of Cambridge Marketing College said, "It's time we listened to our new customers". What I took from that, is that no matter how well we feel we know our customers, they have changed on this side of the pandemic. As we emerge from commercial lockdown we need to listen intently to their new needs, their new context and their new challenges. It's from this position that we can start to add new value. If we assume that the 'new normal' is a level playing field like the one we knew before, we are beaten before we start out again. So I have been listening to the 30 marketing apprentices that I mentor and have been asking them how their businesses and sectors are changing. We have taken deep dives into the trends, themes and behaviours they are seeing. Whilst this isn't a large sample and you could argue it's not statistically significant, I be

If we stop making assumptions and start listening to reality we can begin to create some exciting new opportunities. My analysis of my podcast listeners is a perfect case in point. As I recorded the 50 recent episodes of The Mindful Living Show, I lost sight of who is actually actively subscribing and listening to my podcast.  It turns out my audience is very different to the profile of my clients and usual connections. From a mostly female audience and the assumption this would play out through my podcast, I find my listeners are mostly male and 18-27 years old. Who would have thought. Well, I should have thought and not simply assumed. There are lots of opportunities right now for opening up and creating new opportunities if you listen and look at your reality rather than be blinkered by your paradigms and assumptions. If you can't think of where to begin, drop me an email or DM me on social and let's explore where you can start creating opportunities.

Why do we feel the way we do? Why do we react in certain ways? Why do we think about things differently to others? There is a simple equation which controls our paradigms and our interactions with our world: Perception = Perspective + Insight In this short podcast for The Mindful Living Show, I explain the equation and how by using it you can create better emotional flow in your world and potentially manifest the life you are seeking. This talk forms a part of Back to You Roots, an online course by Neil and Sonya Wilkins that helps you untether from your past and begin to manifest the life you desire.
