  • The Next Generation of Sales Professionals - a conversation with Nick Staab and Suzanne Jenkins of Elite Sales Academy
    Sep 10 2024

    Next time you are involved in a buying process you might experience a different selling approach from the salesperson.

    How that new approach will look is explained in SELLING IS SERVING: which author Nick Staab describes as a Master The Art Of Selling Ethically With Confidence And Conviction.

    In this first episode of The Independent Minds with two guests, Nick explains to Michael Millward what serving means in the context of selling. They explore how the ethics that customers expect sales people to adhere to are changing and what this means for sales people.

    Michael also talks to Suzanne Jenkins a graduate of Nick’s Elite Sales Academy training programme.

    Suzanne describes the challenges of being a solo-entrepreneur life coach and her dread of having to sell to clients were overcome by what she learnt from attending the Elite Sales Academy.

    Suzanne was so inspired that she joined the Elite Sales Academy coaching team, and contributed to the book

  • What Every Parent Needs to Know About School – a conversation with Caroline Hudson the Kitchen Table Teacher.
    Aug 27 2024

    There can not be a parent of a school age child who does not want their child to do better at school than they did.

    Every parent wants to play an active role in supporting their child to do well in every aspect of their school life not just their academic attainment.

    But our memories of what school was like are not always happy ones, and the way schools teach even the most basic aspects of English and Maths today seems very different from how things were in our day.

    It is easy to understand why parents feel frustrated. It is not easy.

    There is help – Caroline Hudson is a teacher who left the classroom and became the Kitchen Table Teacher.

    In this episode of The Independent Minds Caroline explains how small group of parents join her around her physical or virtual kitchen as she demystifies what happens in schools and helps parents provide the support their children need.

  • Preparing Education Leavers for Employment - a conversation with Erefa Coker founder of IMO Interns
    Aug 20 2024

    Regardless of when someone leaves full time education, entering the world of employment is the real 21st Century rite of passage.

    You can’t get a job without experience, and you can’t get experience without a job.

    Only the biggest employers have the resources to provide training for people entering the workforce.

    As a result, getting a foothold on the career ladder can feel like an impossible task, especially when you live in a country that does not provide the same sort of support as the UK.

    Erefa Coker is based in Nigeria, a country that does not provide a structured transition from educatioon to employment.

    Instead of seeing a problem Erefa saw an opportunity and set-up a company Imo Interns.

    Imo Interns provides interns for smaller companies, and at the same time provides the support and training for those young interns that can be a challenge for smaller businesses to provide.

    In this episode of The Independent Minds Erefa explains to host Michael Millward how Imo Interns works, the added value that the Nigerian-based interns have delivered for companies in Europe, North America and Australia.
