Latest episode of my Manage Self, Lead Others podcast is with Mark Victor Hansen, one of the world's most respected Thought Leaders, and known globally as the Ambassador of possibility.

Mark co-authored 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' book series, translated into 43 languages, published in over 100 countries, 500 million copies sold worldwide.

His latest book is "Ask! The Bridge From Your Dreams To Your Destiny" (2021).
Your dreams become your destiny when you learn the secret art of asking.

Most people have beautiful dreams deep inside—things to have, relationships to enjoy, wellness and well-being to help them express their best.

This book reminds us of the power of the ask. My conversation with Mark Victor Hansen was a reminder we may not actually ask enough.

Question - do you write down your goals? Do you create a vision board?

I crafted a vision board earlier this year (not the first time) with a piece of coloured cardboard and cut out magazine pictures and phrases. I printed the words 'best year ever', added a picture of a red carpet. This year I attended TWO red carpet events (last year none, I didn't ask for it).

Tune in to my conversation to be reminded that you matter. The world needs you to find your destiny and live it.

I feel proud and honoured to receive everyone's best wishes after being named Finalist in the Beam Award - Influential Person of the Year. I appreciate your kind words and wishes for me to be a successful awardee.

The Gala Awards night is Sat 1 June 2024 at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. If you're reading this, consider yourself invited! DM me for the link.

The criteria for the award is robust, aligning with 6 areas:

1 Influence and impact
2 Leadership and Innovation
3 Resilience in Professional Journey
4 Mentorship and Knowledge sharing
5 Inspiration and motivation
6 Vision for future impact

One of my personal stories mapping back to these criteria includes the time when Covid hit. I was Queensland State President of Professional Speakers Australia. Everyone's bookings had evaporated overnight; in grief and concern, we were all looking to each other for emotional bouyancy and inspiration. As President I suddenly had to step up to lead during a Black Swan event.

This and other stories I now share on my just-launched new solo podcast, Micropreneur Accelerator (access via your favourite podcast app and Youtube).

But my flagship guest-interview podcast is "Manage Self, Lead Others" now at episode 131 where we tackle fierce topics such as bully bosses, psychological safety, breaking the glass ceiling, mentally healthy workplaces and even, how to create a Zero Su***de Society.

Inspirational and fun episodes are there too - Leaders showing appreciation, experiencing Joy at work and mind-bending neuroinsights and influence.
