👏 A Round of Applause for Heather Di Rocco! I've just done my morning check-in around the community, and someone deserves a special mention today! A HUGE thank you to Heather Di Rocco. 👏👏👏 Why? Because Heather did something I've been banging on about for ages. She DIDN'T post and ghost! 😁 Instead of just popping in, posting her event and disappearing, Heather took the time to go through the community, liking and commenting on other people's posts. And do you know what she's achieved by doing that? She's made herself more visible. People have seen her name, noticed her engaging and now have a reason to be curious about who she is and what she does. And guess what? That means they're more likely to notice her event too! This is exactly what I mean when I say don't just post your event and disappear. We're a community, not a noticeboard. The more you genuinely engage with others, the more opportunities you create for people to discover you. It's not rocket science, is it? 😂 So well done, Heather. You've just given everyone a cracking example of how to make yourself more visible without posting and ghosting. Now, who's going to follow Heather's example today? 😁 A quick edit on this, because now people are noticing her and found her post for her event, guess what, its put her event back at the top of the feed. Des and I cannot tell you enough, that posting and ghosting is like shooting yourself in the foot of all the visibility you could be getting. If you post and ghost then the same thing will happen re your events, like energy attracts like energy, and people will ghost your post.

You Can Lead People to an Event… But Can You Make the Buggers Turn Up? 😂 Well, that was the big question at today's Coffee, Chat & Collab! And rather amusingly, several people who voted to discuss getting people to show up didn't actually show up themselves. Oh, the irony! 🤣 We had a cracking conversation, though, with some very useful experiences shared. Chris apparently thinks 3 AM is a perfectly reasonable time to get up for an event but in fairness he is showing up for when his audience is around so he is showing up so his audience shows up. I can assure you, it isn't happening in my house 🫣 because me and 3am dont get along 😂 Chef Andrew shared how simply asking his community which times suited them made a difference to attendance. He also reminded us that an event with nobody watching isn't necessarily wasted. Record it, repurpose it and make something useful out of it. Great advice. Angela shared the frustration of promoting a free workshop everywhere, only to have one person turn up. Something I suspect quite a few event hosts can relate to! But she left feeling encouraged that despite that she is on the right track and to carry on because it does happen. And Rena talked about using scheduling tools to keep event promotion going without having to remember every single post. We also got into some of my favourite subjects: posting and ghosting, building genuine relationships, following up with interested people and actually giving your audience a reason to come. Because putting up one event post and hoping the entire population of Skool will suddenly appear is rather optimistic, don't you think? 😁 Then Chef Andrew introduced us to the wonderful idea of adding a little whimsy to what we do. He's talking about food, of course, but it applies beautifully to events. A bit of personality, something unexpected, a little humour. Stop making everything so terribly serious! We also talked about collaborations, featuring other community members, using short videos and why making friends across communities can be far more valuable than endlessly shouting about your next event.

So here is the replay! The first one is the one I edited with my Claude Skill, and the second is the one Dan did with Astra in Chat GPT. Intersting stat: Me 167 Subscribers (so slight advantage) 70 Views Dan: 105 Subscribers 38 Views had the replay up 24 hours before me. You don't have to watch both, but if you do take a peak at both I would love to know why you think mine has almost twice as many views in 1/2 the time? Maybe @Des Dreckett or @Karin Crawford can weigh in on this?

I had a rather interesting chat with Dana from the Yes You Can community, and I discovered she's got quite a few strings to her bow! One thing she brought up really caught my attention. How many women have spent years trying to fit into someone else's idea of what a leader should look like, rather than recognising the strengths they already have? And why do we do that? Dana has spent over a decade working in HR, talent management and global recruitment, helping organisations build effective teams. But her work goes well beyond the usual leadership training. We got chatting about the connection between mind, body and wellbeing, her own personal health journey, the importance of understanding our strengths and blind spots, and why good leadership starts with understanding ourselves. Something I particularly liked was her approach to building teams. We don't all need to have the same abilities. In fact, understanding what each person brings to the table, rather than expecting everyone to operate in the same way, can make a tremendous difference. Dana also has a three-day workshop coming up called Permission to Rise, aimed at helping women recognise what's holding them back, establish boundaries and lead in a way that feels authentic to them. There's quite a bit packed into our 21-minute conversation, including a little detour into health and healing, which, as you can imagine, got me talking too! 😁 Have a listen to the interview and get to know Dana and the work she's doing. And I'm curious, have you ever felt you needed to change who you are to be taken seriously?
