Are you always honest with yourself and others?

In this episode, John provides advice on how to deliver brutal honesty and why it is important to be able to do this.

John recently wrote an article on this subject and how brutal honesty needs to come from yourself as well as other people. If you can be honest with yourself, this will allow you to take less positive feedback on board as well, making you a better, more well-rounded person. Who doesn’t want that!

“The definition of success is getting knocked down seven times and getting up eight.”

John talks about how this quote has helped him over the years. Hearing criticism from someone can feel like you are being knocked down, but you must get back up, deal with it and maybe implement the feedback into improving.

If you’d like to learn how to deliver brutal honesty and what it means to hear it yourself, take 15 minutes out of your day to listen to this episode.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
We must learn to take criticism on board. Don’t be offended by it.
It can be difficult to be brutally honest with someone but if you are carrying it out in a non-confrontational way and have their best interests at heart, then go for it.



BEST MOMENTS

“There are two places where brutal honesty needs to come from. One is yourself and two is from others.”

“If you’re honest with yourself, it helps you take criticism or take that feedback from others.”

What You Need Is Brutal Honesty To Grow

“You can’t train 100%, 100% of the time.”

This is one of my own quotes that I strongly believe in and I took it from time spent in my sporting career. This quote also applies to business and how I think you should be treating your team. What I mean by this is if you push your staff members too hard, you will get the opposite result of what you wanted. It’s easy to take for granted what your employees do for you and your business so showing appreciation goes a long way.

I like to create what I call a ‘done time’, where you and your team might finish a little earlier in the day as a reward for the hard work they have completed throughout the day. This token of gratitude has a major effect on your employee’s work, especially if they don’t expect it.

Nurturing mental health and looking after our wellbeing has become a huge part of modern-day life. This applies to when we are at work as well. Neglecting this and letting stress consume people, not only feels awful but will hit your business hard in ways you might not expect.

Is there anything you can do to improve your team’s attitude to work?

Tune into this episode today if you want to get more from your team.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
Pushing your employee or team too far can have the opposite effect that you desire.
Are you doing anything to your team to make them more stressed out? Ask yourself this question and look at what you can do to reduce stress levels for people.
Think about the language you are using towards your team. Language is extremely important. Consider that how you say something might not be how it’s received.

Staff Behaviour, Negotiations And Non-Verbal Communication With Anne-Maartje Oud

In this special episode, John talks to Mindset Coach and Founder and CEO of InspirEngage International, Melody Hossaini.

Melody launched her social enterprise, InspirEngage International, way back in 2009 and has since gone on to take the company global. As a personal growth expert, she helps to inspire and motivate people, developing them to be their best. She appeared on the BBC’s ‘The Apprentice’ in 2011 (making it to week 10 out of 12) and was the first social entrepreneur to appear on the show. She has also spoken on her own TED talk as well as writing for Forbes, Huffington Post and The Guardian – quite the CV!

During this interview, we talk about building a strong mindset and how young we should start with this, why women are sometimes seen to hold themselves back in business and so much more. We really get into it and Melody provides a lot of useful information on these topics.

With that being said, I hope you enjoy the episode!
