The truth about Shaa Wasmund

The truth about Shaa Wasmund 

In the online educational world be it personal development, business development and even spiritual development, there is a lot of BS!

I've had it in mind to write this post for some time, but worried about looking ' 'bottom kissy', however one Sunday morning, I read something which Made. Me. Seethe.

But.

I've never been very good at pretending to be an innocent bystander and watch something play out which doesn't agree with my values, principles or integrity.

And to boot, it's the reason why at least 80% of people who choose to work with me give the reason of not wanting to stand out as "Fear of what people will think about them or say about them and for one person 'do' to them".

So here's when Shaa Wasmund update her Facebook profile

I posted some words and a picture, it didn't feel like I'd said enough

So here's what I really wanted to share …

If "Integrity" is what you do when no one is looking"

Then here's what Sháá did when no one was looking.

First let me give you some context.

I run the relatively small Facebook group which at the time had around 200 people. I love sharing freely via Facebook live and every Friday (and Wednesday) I would pick a suitable topic for the VIBErs and share away.

When I took a few days break in September, I wanted to be able to unplug and spend time with those closest to me and I realised that this would affect the regular Friday broadcast. I had one of those "if-I-could-choose-anyone-in-the-world-to-do-this-in-my-place-who-would-it-be?" moments and Sháá instantly sprang to mind.

I don't claim that Sháá and I are best buddies or that I know her deeply, but what I have seen of her and what I do know of her with our own interactions doesn't warrant a snide comment or dig especially on social media, especially when a person doesn't take the time to see what's someone's about or why they're doing a thing.

To be completely honest in my world, every has the right to be seen, to be heard and not be dismissed even if we think they're talking rubbish, but why oh why do we have to do it with such venom?

Anyway, I've been to a number of Sháás events taken part in her programmes and been a part of her community ever since 2013 when I first heard her speak.

She's a busy woman, she works bloody hard, travels a lot, gives of herself and her time in so many ways.

All While being;

~ A mother

~ A three times published author

~ Responsible for promoting names like Chris Eubank, and brands such as Dyson

~ The proud owner of an MBE

~ A successful and profitable business owner

Insanely serious about getting fit

~ An early riser

So when asked by me without MBE or published books (yet), whether she would be able to do a Facebook live for my couple of hundred tribe as opposed to her, multiple thousand strong tribe what do you think she would say?

All on a day where she started her normal 5 AM start, did a trans-Atlantic Facebook live with someone else who is based on another continent, and had to attend a parents evening for her son later in that afternoon, what do you think she would say?

She could have said, "I'm too busy sorry", "I just don't have the time" or 1001 other things, but you know what?

She. Said. Yes.

We agreed it would be 20 minutes but 45 minutes later Sháá was giving, giving and giving some more.

So to anyone accusing somebody that they don't really know in such a way, without basis or using discernment, I can 100% say, I have seen no evidence of that in the time I've been around Sháá.

… and just in case you're wondering, I'd type this for whenever I saw this type of subtle online chastising of someone who needed it and trust me Sháá doesn't 'need' it.

Too many people see, hear or feel something and keep quiet and I wanted to remind those reading this that Sháá shows up and makes real a difference. That's something for me to continually learn from

"Integrity" is what you do when no one is looking" and no one was looking but you still did it.

Thanks Shaa from the bottom of my heart (and I expect from some of those VIBErs who watched too)

You're awesome

[Monday Motivation] How To Do Things Differently

Doing it differently

"To do things differently, ask things differently" ~ Jenny Kovacs

In 2008 I recognised the stigma attached with a brand new week, often Mondays were met with dread, a feeling of overwhelm and a sense of being stuck or in a grind.

Not the best way to set yourself up for the day, let alone the week!

So I found ways to send motivational messages around the office to lift people up. In 2010 when I started my business, I was really keen to keep this up as a service to those who wanted it. 

Today, I hope to bring the motivation to life, by creating the 10 minute space for you to activate your ability to today... Stop putting up with stuff!

____________

This week, I want to start by asking you a question, well two really... 

What are you tolerating? 

Or put another way, 

What are you putting up with?

These questions are especially relevant, if you have big dreams, big plans, big ambitions to do the things in life we love, and this week I've heard a lot of different people, some are friends, some are coaching clients, all people who want to make a change to something in their life. They want to do something different, but somehow have felt like they can't. 

"To do things differently, ask things differently" ~ Jenny Kovacs

"To do things differently, ask things differently" ~ Jenny Kovacs

This week, I invite you to write this down:

W.W.I.D.D.N.T.

But what unearth does that mean?


This question both empowers and creates new possibilities all rolled into one. So if you have an end goal, big dreams, big plans, big ambitions or even a strategy to execute to get things done in your professional and personal life.

Whatever you've done before, if it hasn't quite worked in the way that you wanted it to, then this question is like the alchemy of questions to do things differently without forcing yourself!

And in a bid to purely acknowledge the elephant in the room, obviously in the last few days we’ve heard a lot of different people, referencing Brexit. So you’ll be pleased (or not), to know that this weeks post has very little to do with that, I thought we could all use a breather to get back into our individual lives.  

"To do things differently, ask things differently" ~ Jenny Kovacs

About W.W.I.D.D.N.T. what does it mean, and why is this a question of new possibility? 

I explain more in this weeks Monday Motivational video, you'll also hear a context in which it was used and brings this to life.

I then recommend taking just 5 minutes of pure focussed attention to write down the answers on paper in a journal, a piece of paper or even the back of a envelope! Write it down, it's really important.

W.W.I.D.D.N.T means;

What Will I Do Differently Next Time

Watch this weeks video where I share my own personal experience back in 2010 and you can transform that sinking feeling of when you think you’ve done something ‘ wrong’. Over the years this has also been uber effective in training others to create opportunities, allowing executives to exceed through coaching and moving things forward when I’ve been tempted to wallow.

Take any scenario where you want to explore more possibility or results and ask this vital question, do remember that this is effective when things go ‘right, not just ‘wrong’

Let me know how this question helps you.

~ Facebook Visibility ~

I want to share something important with you in terms of Facebook visibility and it's this... 

Numbers are not important in order for you to be seen by those you love or who love what you do!

A post which I love, and have shared on my public page has gone viral. This despite my likes (genuine likes, and not bought likes), Being under 1000.

It shows 3 things;

1. You don't need to have big numbers of likes to be seen and heard

2. It doesn't always have to be YOUR content, often posts which capture our imagination will capture those connected to us too

3. This isn't a numbers game, this is about building community. So it's likely that those who love you and what you stand for, will also love what you do AND what you share.

PS Here's the 'proof', as that's important for people to know too (obviously)

::: 7 Way's we harm our Visibility & How to Stop it - Part 5 :::

It was once said that, your reputation is the thing that's left in the room, long after you leave!

On my own visibility journey spanning nearly 20 years, I’ve raised my profile professionally, increased my income (tripling it to be exact) and become known as a visibility specialist, business coaching on this very subject.

Things haven't always been so rosy though, so this is why I share this with you.

So you see a person who, to you, is influential. 

Before you know it you're focussing all of your attention on them, hanging on to their every word, or pushing your business and business card onto them! 

You've forgotten something! There are lots of other people in the room who want to get to know you too! They may even be potential clients, collaborators or JV partners!

In my corporate years, I saw many employee's presume that there was only one person worth 'sucking up' to and they ignored, bypassed and sometimes inadvertently offended the very person they wanted to impress... At business events and seminars, I've watched people clammer be ignored, looked over and told "well, my services aren't for you anyway!" ...and how do you know?

My point here is please don't Network, only when you think it matters, in my dealing with a CEO, I once took time to chat with his PA while I waited for our appointment. 2 months later she hired me as her personal coach. Or there's the Beverly Hills Hairdresser who during my hair straightening took my business card. At the end of our appointment she casually mentions that Sharon Osbourne also has her hair done at that salon! Can you imagine what could happen if I came up in their next conversation?

It's all about connecting and people you meet always know someone who might just need what you offer!

Next time you're networking and connecting, why not make a beeline for the person who's on their own looking for someone to talk to.

Step 3 of 5 steps to success

By Jenny Kovacs of www.gift-wish.co.uk GiFTWiSH making people special

Why Worry?

As a coach and trainer one thing that I hear quite regularly from my clients are things they worry about.

From relationships to businesses even concerns about family members, and being successful or not, worry about how other people view them. Worry about pending life events, what could happen, what has happened and could happen again.

One thing’s for sure, regardless of who you are, where you're from, what you do for a living, or financial status worry hits everybody at some time so you're not alone. 

Have you stopped to think about how many minute's hours or days a week you spend worrying? If this is you then you've come to the right article so make yourself comfortable and read on.

Tip one - first of all recognise whether you are thinking something through or worrying.  If you’re worrying, note how long you're worrying for and any negative feelings or effects that this may be having on you, the people around you or your daily life. Try asking yourself what's the worst that could happen? and write this down. This alone brings your concerns out into the open and allows you the space to acknowledge it.

Worrying is often driven by FEAR and if you think of this as an acronym

False

Evidence
Appearing
Real

What evidence do you actually have? It hasn't happened and there is nothing to prove that this will happen either so when you feel the fear, recognise it as just that.

Tip two - conversely whilst you're busy worrying, have you stopped to think about an ideal and realistic solution to your worry or an outcome with a much more positive ending than you've previously thought of?

Tip three - Take a blank piece of paper on one side write down everything that you're worried about.

On the other side draw a large circle with a smaller circle inside. This is your circle of influence in coaching we use this to help people decipher the things that are within their control and the things that are outside of their control.

So the next step is this, of the things that are purely 100% within your control, write them in the smaller central circle. For everything else it goes into the circle of concern, everything there is outside of your control, and gives you less to worry about.
