Sarka helps leaders and professionals use LinkedIn strategically to achieve their business goals. She shares insights on how to build meaningful connections and leverage the platform for authentic relationship-building.

    Sarka’s unique background—from law studies to marketing—led her to develop a passion for using LinkedIn as a tool to foster genuine relationships.


    Sarka explains how LinkedIn is more than a digital business card; it’s a platform for building real relationships and achieving professional goals.

    Mindset and Strategy are key to success on LinkedIn. It's about having the right mindset and being consistent in your approach.

    The ONE Thing:

    Success on LinkedIn stems from a blend of strategic use, authentic communication, and the willingness to invest time in building real relationships. Sarka emphasizes that while tools like AI can assist, nothing replaces the value of personal experience and genuine connections.

  • Ep. 58 - The Reluctant Leader: Jini Wimmer
    Aug 29 2024

    Welcome to the show.


    I had the pleasure of chatting with Jini Wimmer, who leads a Facebook group - Women's Empower Network, with over 3,700 members from 13 countries.


    She shares her journey of overcoming fear and self-doubt to embrace leadership after her husband's passing.

    She emphasizes the importance of listening to one's inner voice and intuition and "calling BS on yourself" to challenge limiting beliefs.


    Jini also highlights the practice of mindfulness in daily activities to stay present, and explains her view that lack is a man-made concept and abundance exists in nature.


    She emphasizes embracing life's journey, including its challenges, as opportunities for growth.


    We discuss various aspects of her relationships with family and the impact and influence it has on her.


    Key Takeaway:

    Listening to and trusting your inner voice is crucial for personal growth and overcoming self-imposed limitations. As Jini puts it, "Always, always, always listen to that inner voice. You do not have to understand what it's telling you or why it's telling you something. Trust it. It's got your back."


    Jini is a wonderful lady with a heart to serve. I hope you enjoy the episode.

  • Ep. 57 - Being Your Own Catalyst: Amos Bracewell
    Aug 22 2024

    Welcome to the episode,

    Amos Bracewell introduces himself as a catalyst who thrives on creating and gamifying experiences. He shares the story of founding ENTV, a Facebook group dedicated to networking and personal growth, and discusses his philosophy of viewing life as a game while seeking to connect people. Amos opens up about his personal journey of growth, including his decision to leave his comfort zone and travel extensively.


    Throughout the conversation, Amos emphasizes the importance of challenging oneself and questioning beliefs. He explores the concept of truth being secure enough to withstand questioning, encouraging listeners to examine their own convictions. Amos also delves into the fascinating topic of subconscious intentions behind starting projects or businesses, sharing insights from his own experiences with ENTV and introducing his upcoming project, Bump Global, aimed at connecting people across various platforms.


    Our discussion takes a reflective turn as Amos talks about the significance of facing oneself and living up to one's potential. He offers thought-provoking perspectives on the misuse of the "saviour complex" and stresses the importance of personal growth.

    The key takeaway from this episode is Amos's belief that true change in the world starts with changing oneself. Rather than trying to save or change others, he advocates for focusing on becoming the best version of oneself as a means of naturally becoming a positive influence in the world.

    This philosophy encourages us to look inward, face our own challenges, and work on our personal development as a way to make a broader impact.

  • Ep. 54 - Manifesting your inner Ninja! Lydia Taggart
    Aug 1 2024

    Welcome to the show!

    In this insightful episode, I chat with Lydia Taggart, an expert in team communication and leadership, on the importance of making team members feel truly valued. Lydia shares her personal journey and how it led to the development of the FRAME Formula, a powerful tool to enhance communication within any team, be it at work or home.


    Lydia explains her background, working with teams of all kinds to improve communication and ensure team members feel valued.

    Personal Journey: Lydia's unique experience as a mother of quadruplets and another child led her to create the FRAME Formula after noticing communication breakdowns in her own family.

    FRAME Formula: An acronym for Feeling Safe, Respect and Honour, Action and Accountability, Meaningful Moments, and Everyone Wins. It helps structure communication and ensure everyone feels valued.

    Application: The formula's impact was first seen within her family and then expanded to her husband’s workplace, demonstrating significant positive changes.

    Real-life Examples: Stories of how the FRAME Formula improved workplace dynamics, including transforming a "grumpy" employee into a happier, more effective manager.


    Key Takeaway:

    The FRAME Formula emphasizes that creating a safe and respectful environment where team members feel genuinely valued leads to higher engagement and productivity. When people feel safe to express themselves and know they are respected and valued, they contribute more effectively and meaningfully.


    Lydia’s work highlights the critical role of personal experiences in developing effective communication strategies. By fostering a culture where everyone feels valued, both in professional and personal settings, teams can achieve greater harmony and success.
