Todays guest is a lady who is talking my language when it comes to staff development.
If you have listened to a few of the shows, you will have heard me wax lyrical as to why companies focus in on the things that employees can't do, and pretty much ignore the things they can.
It seems lunacy to me that strengths are not developed to the highest level possible.
But for some reason they are not.
Well, our guest found that same belief when she was in her first manager role, and whilst sitting in her office got a phone call from a colleague.
Her colleague was extremely upset as she had just received her annual performance review and felt beat up and worthless.
She shared that she had been barely recognized for the things she was good at, and marked down for things that just weren’t in her nature.
And with these words, our guests life was changed forever “Why can’t they just accept me for who I am? I’m 35 years old, I’m not going to change.”
An so with those words ringing in her ear, she set off to change the lives of employees across America.
She is a speaker, coach, author and founder of Shoop Training & Consulting so certainly has a lot on her plate at the moment.
But what was it about this one employee that really hit home, more than any of the others that she had managed during her corporate life?
And how can people find their key strengths in life, and then most importantly convince their management to let them flourish in these areas?
Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Emilie Shoop.

Entrepreneur
03/13/16 • 64 min
Todays guest solopreneur joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots podcast is a man whose path to greatness started slowly.
As a child he didn't really set the world alight whilst attending McKinley High School, a trade school in Buffalo.
He failed many of his classes, as well as not managing to make the grade at football, basketball or track & field teams either.
It was as if no matter what he tried to succeed at he just couldn't get it going.
His career was always going to be something distant to what he truly knew would make him happy.
But like so many people in life, who struggle to find their path, it wasn't until he transferred to a different location, in this case Bennett High School that he found that he was trying to achieve in areas that weren't naturally him.
He stumbled across something that
It was there where he found his passion for public speaking, and used his silver tongue to wow his peer group, becoming Senior Class President.
And now he started to get going. He had found something that he could do better than most.
But its ok, to have a silver tongue, but how can you take this talent and use it for maximum effect and become a solopreneur that rocks the world?
Well, he realised that he would use it to help inspire individuals and organisations find their brilliance.
He would help the world tap into the talents that they were given at birth, and start shining brighter than they have ever done before.
And he has done that very thing better than most.
He is quoted as one of the best keynote speakers ever heard or used, putting him in the same category as Bill Gates, General Colin Powell and Tony Robbins.
And as an author of seven books, helping the world discover their thing, he is a man on a mission.
But there is so much more to him than just having a brain and tongue that inspires those that he comes into contact with.
Which is what we will fnd out today.
So what was it about the first school that just didn't fit with him?
And why does he feel that people are unaware of just how brilliant that they can be not just in America but really everywhere across the globe?
Well lets find out, as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only, Mr Simon T Bailey

She calls herself the short chick with a walking stick, and for four decades, since age 7, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and a Walking Stick have been her constant companions.

Archive 200: Sean Swarner: Training The World How To Have The Mindset To Take Action And Smash Goals
Entrepreneur
03/13/16 • 63 min
If you are looking for a story on huge action taking, then todays guest for the milestone 200th episode of the Join Up Dots Steve Jobs inspired archive podcast, is the only man that I wanted for the job......in fact I held back from recording this show so he could appear.
And why did I feel that way?
Well after 199 episodes of Join Up Dots, hopefully you will feel like I do that they are motivational, inspiring, challenging and the kind of content that makes you believe that everything is possible.
They teach you that careers are not given to you, but are instead made.
They teach you how to set goals, take action and have the mindset to have the kind of lifestyle that is more than just earning money.
They teach you how to live a life that is your dreamlife.
But if this is the first show that you have listened to then...believe me, just hearing about this guys story will leave you feeling that its time to get going.
When he was a young man at ages 13 and 16, this wannabe entrepreneur received news that would knock most people off their feet.
He had cancer and not just one type but two completely different types, which left him listening to his last rights and waiting to die.
He was given only fourteen days grace, but instead of passing on as expected he astounded the medical community when he survived both these brutal diseases and also a medically-induced coma for a year.
This courage to beat the odds and take on a challenge that many deemed as impossible left him with the realisation that no challenge would ever be too great or any peak too high.
He proved this theory when he crested the peak of the highest point in the world (Mount Everest) with only partial use of his lungs.
As the first cancer survivor to do so, he then decided to continue climbing and has since topped the highest peaks in Africa, Europe, South America, Australia, Antarctica, and North America.
But this isn't a story about a man with super human strength or support, a solopreneur with the inside track to succcess.
This is a story of total belief in himself and what he can achieve.
Inspiring us all to dream bigger and go for the impossible.
He is voted one of the top eight most inspirational people of all time, so it with great delight to bring onto the Steve Jobs inspired podcast how to start joining up dots, the one and only solopreneur and adventurer Sean Swarner.

Todays guest is a man who from the very early stages in his life had the hustle muscle working overtime.
At the age of nine he would sneak comics into school to sell them to his classmates, who couldn't get enough of the latest adventures of their favourite characters, so would cough up their hard earned pocket money for the privilege.
And I suppose it wasn't a surprise that he could see the way to earn a buck or two, as both his parents were successful entrepreneurs, and being surrounded by people who do things their way and work to achieve things, is as we know so hugely powerful to your own development.
So with a track record of a range of ventures including a nightclub promotions company, a modelling agency and a fashion line, he is attempting to find the thing that brings all his hustle together and creates the future that he deserves.
And now more recently, he has been managing his own financial advisory firm, Fordyce & Playle, and a new online estate agency, Market My Property
But if you think that this episode will be about a young man who is working solely on his own life, and becoming an entrepreneur of note, then think again.
As with passions ranging from animal healthcare, children and even appearing in the 'Famous Males Checkum' cancer calendar he is doing his best to give back to the world.
So where does he see his true value to the world being directed at its highest level?
And does he feel that he is on track to achieve his dream of the youngest entrepreneur to sit as an investor on BBC's tv show "Dragon's Den"
Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots on the Steve Jobs inspired business podcast, with the one and only UK solopreneur Tom Webster.

Coming originally from the South American country of Chile, our guest solopreneur has set out on a path to not only create her dream life, but also to help the world find theirs too!
As the founder of “Money & You®,” and other successful financial platforms she knows and shares how we can all develop systems that will accelerate the growth of our businesses.
And what she gives us is not just manuals full of structures and systems, but a complete mind-set shift, to believe that success is ours to have.
She gives us the "How To" and allows us to set our own goals, taking action everyday.
She can rewire us all to think like multi-millionaires.
She has appeared on multiple movies, been quoted in hundreds of books, and appeared on radio and TV shows all over the world.
But how does a lady come from Chile, move to America, and create a platform of success that crosses the globe and effects students in over 65 countries?
How did todays guest learn the skills for success that allude so many people?
And that is what I want to talk about today, how someone can think big, dream big and achieve big things, when so many others get stuck before even beginning?
Is it that she took chances that other people wouldn't have taken, or simply that she was luckier than most?

Todays guest on the show is a man who, ill be honest when I started researching him, I thought "How the hell does he pack everything that he is doing into a day?"
If you think that you are busy, then think again, as not only is he currently the Head of English, Drama and Media Studies at an outstanding Catholic school in Hertfordshire., but he is also juggling the work of a freelance journalist.
Writing articles that regularly appear in ten industry-leading magazines that cover the automotive, aerospace, technology and travel sectors he is a man in demand.
His articles are read by over 12,000 subscribers in print, and more online, but he is even more busy than that as the author of several bestselling books "The Missing", "Life Of Sin" and "On Guard" the last blending his love and expertise of fencing.
Yes, he could challenge me to a dual at dawn, as for seven years he was a Karl was a competitive fencer. Fencing is in his blood.
So how does he pack so much into his life, and still find that urge for consistent creativity?
And if he could choose just one of his talents to do only, which one would he choose?
Well let's find out as we bring onto the show, to start joining up dots, the one and only Mr Karl Vadaszffy!

Todays guest is a man who seems to have an absolute passion for building stuff.
As he says "I have been writing and commercializing software since childhood. My goals are the same now as they were then: to solve difficult, practical problems with software"
With a talent for writing code for computer programmes, and an eye for potential start-ups he has had astonishing success.
Success that quite simply could leave him sitting on a island doing nothing for the rest of his life, due to the $700,000,000 Google paid him for the Cambridge, Mass-based ITA Software Inc.
But that is just a tiny part of what has made him who he is, as he has steadily worked on his life, his career, and projects since leaving University with a bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science.
Even before that he would grab every opportunity he could to develop his skills, and for five years between 1986 and 1991 in every school break he would work as a developer on Xenix and Mach operating systems, and then went on to co-found ITA Software in 1998.
For all you computer game lovers, also know that he was the first employee hired at the video game developer Naughty Dog, where he co-created the first two installments of the Crash Bandicoot games for PlayStation.
But for me, and this is what I want to touch on, as I like this fact very much, is he seems to have a completely opposing view to the overnight success, get rich quick practice that has taken control of the world over the last few decades.
He works slowly and steadily, building his work in almost secrecy until 100% comfortable to release to the world.
And now with his latest venture Inky, an email organising system gaining more and more interest he once again, is giving birth to something that the world is looking for, and will bring even more success.
So, are there similarities between building computer games, and business platforms?
And what does he see in the world today that he wishes that he could have built?
Well lets find out as we bring onto the show, to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr David Baggett.

Our guest today lives his life by two rules.
And these are two rules that by and large most people will try to keep away from, and then they wonder why they haven’t got their dream life.
He believes that
You can’t be afraid to take a risk.
You absolutely MUST have a plan.
And then if you know anything about him, he adds to the mix a huge belief in himself, a flexing hustle muscle that he demonstrates everyday, and an easy going nature that helps him reach out to the movers and shakers across the globe.
As a young man, he didn't have the desire to be the solopreneur or entrepreneur that he is today. Instead he had a burning passion to become a professional paintballer, and upon getting his first gun from his parents set out to achieve his aim.
And it seems that what he wants to do, he makes sure that he does its as within four years he had travelled the world shooting capsules of paint at people winning $300,000 dollars in the process.
Even gaining the top prize of $160,000 in just one weekend.
But at his core burned a question. A question that had occurred to him several years earlier, and had remain within him. Gnawing away.
He asked himself “If people can come from nothing and create insane amounts of wealth in one lifetime, then shouldn’t someone like myself coming from a middle class family who has the support from their family and lives in “The Land of Opportunity” be able to easily do the same thing?”
Wow, for a fourteen year old kid that shows awareness beyond his years.
He realised at any early age that comfort creates mediocrity, and pain motives change.
And now after investing over $500,000 of his own money on self development, and spending time with the likes of Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield and even Arnold Schwarzenegger he is taking those personal skills and sharing them with the world with his Peak Performance Club.
But how does someone at the age of 14 start thinking in such an advanced way, especially when it appears he didn’t have anything to force him to think that way?
How did he start taking the action that helped him achieve the big goals?
And where does he find the greatest need within the people that he coaches and inspires across the world?
Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only coaching solopreneur Mr Mark A Lack.
