Join us for a fascinating discussion on the art of emceeing and the complexities of family and professional dynamics with our new segment, ‘Am I The Areshole?’. Sian Horn, Jen Bryan and Judie Russell share their insights on keeping the audience engaged, managing the event's dynamic elements, and the importance of staying relatable and true to one's speaking style. We also touch on the busy nature of September and the common industry rush towards the end of the year. Unfortunately, we’re missing one of our hosts Jay Woodard in this week’s episode.
We recount a memorable event where an internationally acclaimed speaker struggled to engage, and discuss strategies to manage audience dynamics and stay true to one's style. Whether you're preparing for your first emcee gig or looking to refine your skills, this conversation sheds light on the nuances of leading an event effectively.
Next, in our new segment ‘ Am I The Arsehole’, we explore the etiquette of promoting a business in social settings, focusing on a couple where the wife's enthusiastic promotion of her Etsy shop creates friction. The conversation covers the balance between passion and social etiquette, the difference between promoting service-based versus retail businesses, and the significance of knowing your audience. Personal experiences highlight the importance of genuine interest guiding business discussions, offering valuable lessons for anyone navigating the tricky waters of self-promotion.
Finally, we dive into the emotionally charged realm of family business dynamics and professional competition. Through a personal story of betrayal and business rivalry, we examine the ethical and emotional implications of targeting clients and managing family conflicts. The discussion emphasizes integrity in business practices, effective communication, and mediation when handling client transitions. Listen in as we unravel these complex themes and offer practical advice on maintaining professionalism and grace in competitive environments.
