How to show up confidently, whilst being authentic and real!
The Personal Connection
03/01/21 • 48 min
In an ever-evolving world, it really is vital to embrace communication and be present in the fields your audience exists...you need to meet them where they are! We're in a truly global world and online presentation has become more and more important, but how do you get over the hurdles holding you back from embracing your online presence and really show up?
On #ThePersonalConnection #Podcast we've explored communication and confidence in many ways, and today it's about showing up authentically, choosing love over fear, and growing your confidence in video communication.
Our guest on this episode is an absolute power-house of communication and confidence, and we delve through the topic in such detail.
Angèle Cristina is a strong female entrepreneur who loves to help women get camera confident and discover their true powers. Her buzzing energy makes them believe they can do it. She loves to address the fears they feel are keeping them back from being the best version of themselves and unveil a new reality full of joy, fun, and love.
Angèle is from the tiny island of Malta where she used to be a drama teacher and TV presenter. She then moved to Ireland for 4 years and that is where Wondrous Online Women (WOW) was born. She then moved to Malaga, Spain for just over a year and has recently moved to Leipzig, Germany. Her online business allows her to travel and share her knowledge and message anywhere in the world.
The overall theme of the episode is simple but incredibly powerful: choose love over fear!
Join us as we guide you through the tools you can use to truly embrace your online presentation, be confident hitting 'record' or 'Go Live' and connect authentically to your audience.
Whether it's raw and real, or slightly polished, you can decide what's right for you - the most important thing is to be present! Really show up! Be you. Be Real. Bring confidence, colour and life to your presentation.

Unlocking The Mind - Could hypnosis be just what you need to smash 2021?
The Personal Connection
01/11/21 • 48 min
As we continue through January in an already challenging 2021, we wanted to continue along the path of personal and professional development and introduce a tool that could be revolutionary - hypnosis.
Hypnosis is one of those subjects that elicits a mixed response, but in recent years it has become more accepted and embraced in the corporate world to help unlock potential and drive real change.
Steve Woods is an executive hypnotherapist based in the West Midlands. Having helped groups and individuals bring about life changes for over 15 years, Steve has worked with organisations such as The British Medical Association, Wolverhampton College, Acorns Childrens Hospice, Homeserve and Help Harry Help Others Charity amongst others.
Steve says it brilliant on his website, "I unstick people. I work with already successful groups and individuals to release their fears and their blocks. To allow them to perform better. I help people like you, be the best version of you using a combination of Hypnosis, mindfulness and NLP."
Through this episode, we discuss what hypnosis is, how it could help you and your team, how it's powerful for business, personal, and indeed sporting life, and give great ideas of how you can unlock your potential by removing the barriers that you've put in place.
There's something in this episode for everyone.

Transitioning the lessons from home into the boardroom, and vice versa!
The Personal Connection
08/16/21 • 38 min
This episode is a little different, but will hopefully get you thinking...
We’ve discussed emotional intelligence a few times on The Personal Connection podcast, but Joanne H Light has a totally different angle - emotional intelligence when it comes to parenting.
When I first spoke with Joanne, I wasn’t sure if the topic of parenting would really fit into the podcast, but the lessons that even I took (as a non-parent) resonated greatly - plus, as we dive into things in more detail, there is so much that you can take straight in to your business or to the boardroom.
Plus, if you’re building your empire whilst juggling parenthood, battling through the time pressures of life whilst also facing the challenges of transitions in your children’s lives, this episode is for you.
Communication and understanding are at the core of this chat with Joanne H Light, a topic I will always enjoy exploring with different people.
But HOW do you begin to properly understand your children? It starts with calm, it starts with really listening...sound similar to solving workplace scenarios?
2020 brought so many challenges for people across the globe, and now we’re releasing restrictions many employees are finding the ‘temporary’ work from home solution a permanent change. There are so many facets to this - one is balancing time between work and parenthood, another is looking after mental health within the family.
There is a great synergy between business life and home life, and understanding where the same skills can be carried into both arenas can be transformational.

Outsider to belonging - Human communication and integration and lessons for the workplace
The Personal Connection
08/02/21 • 43 min
An outsider to belonging - Human communication and integration and lessons for the workplace
Discussing communication and connection and stripping things back to a human level - even when language is a barrier
In this episode of The Personal Connection Podcast, we welcome Ann Collins to the mic.
Ann is a leadership development coach based in France, but her journey and life experiences provided the intrigue and backbone to the interview.
Throughout our commissions at Emotive Eye, we work with clients empowering their connection through genuine photographs showing providing authenticity and trust to narratives and stories that compel a viewer to take action.
Ann Collins' work within Blue Bottle Coaching focuses on leadership development, inspiring and empowering the new leaders in the global business world.
However, rather than explore leadership development, this episode comes from somewhere much more personal - Ann's experiences in multi-national communication and the human connection strategies she has understood, developed, and indeed now brings to the corporate world.
Connecting with people is vital in everything we do. We strive for connections as humans, and if the connection is authentic, the relationship is always much more substantial.
Ann's travels saw her on a journey of language discovery as a young teaching student in Germany, to an enlightening time working as a VSO in Nepal.
The lessons that Ann took from these encounters shaped her approach to life and communication, something her whole family took on board when emigrating to rural France 10 years ago.
Now feeling genuinely ingrained in the local community through the dedication, care and attention paid in everyday life, the realisation of how relevant this thinking is to the corporate world wasn't lost.
Do you want to connect better, communicate on an authentic level and construct robust relationships within your teams?
Listen to this podcast with Leadership Psychologist Ann Collins and feel enlightened and inspired.

5 Key Habits to Build Resilience - give yourself the self-management skills to succeed with Alison Coates
The Personal Connection
07/19/21 • 44 min
How do you build resilience whilst being a great communicator?
Discussing the topic of resilience with leading psychologist Alison Coates from Revo Consultancy
How do you show up on a day-to-day basis? Do you even realise? Do you realise the impact this has on those around you and the effect on morale, productivity and responses to a situation?
Emotional intelligence is compelling! If you can be truly aware of yourself, have a distinct awareness of others and empathetically appreciate the broader situation, the results can be dramatic.
How do you inspire performance? How do you have genuinely successful collaborations? It’s all emotional intelligence. We need to apply time and dedication; we need to learn the habits!
Through this episode, we cover so much, but principally this episode is to provide 5 Key Habits to build resilience.
Resilience is about self-managing, it is the ability to cope with adversity, to adapt during hardship, and most importantly, to thrive. Through this episode, find out how to move beyond the challenge, beyond the difficulty, and outside adversity. Alison helps us understand things more clearly, guide us on those small steps, and start making the changes we need to employ.
Change is never linear. We need to have our goal/vision in mind of where we want to get to, be a little flexible about how we get there (and indeed the time scale).
Resilience is not bouncing back.
Resilience is not avoiding challenges or hardship.
We only build resilience when we’re courageous enough to move through hardship - moving through that challenge to the other side.
Recorded earlier this year, this is a fascinating conversation with Alison Coates, diving into so many topics and brings years of cross-country experience to the table.
A degree in industrial psychology, a move to a new county, and the need for a new direction - life does lead us all on exciting paths.
Alison’s background in management consulting and programming, designing a human-centric solution, focused on the end-user - who knew technology was about people?!
It was all about helping the technicians understand the user’s journey, drawing on user experience and understanding how people adapt, learn, and engage people.
Realising it is vital to take people on the journey with you. Not forcing change, instead to hand-hold and encourage - communicate is critical, as is an understanding in emotional intelligence. The foundations need to be laid as early as possible; one has to earn trust, truly delivering buy-in!
From discussing industry past and the understanding this provided to the broader topic of psychology in the workplace, we cover a breadth of topics in this episode but focussing primarily on resilience.
Building an understanding, discovering the tools to help us, and most importantly, understanding the crucial steps to take.

Accept Change and Lead to a Balanced Life
The Personal Connection
07/05/21 • 34 min
The permission to be you. It’s about accepting being you.
It’s about Freedom / Passion. It’s about taking control of your life.
Bringing the conversation forward - bring confidence, truly connect to those around you, by first connecting to yourself!
Every episode through the podcast, we’ve explored different backgrounds and connected to the stories and the life learnings of our guests.
Azmina Jiwa has such a fascinating story, and has so much to share - it really is about giving back.
We all need to embrace who we truly are. We have to find ourselves. We need to discover ourselves and reawaken - it’s time top stop “plodding through life” and take control of the journey.
Azmina’s journey truly started from within - looking at herself and her feelings, her position in her life, and re-evaluating. A real journey of self-discovery that led to a discovery of who she really was, and indeed what she was capable of. It was about stepping off the treadmill, stop focussing on pleasing other people, and believing in herself.
2020 saw a realisation for many of us - we were led to step back and take stock, review our lives and our journeys, realise what we had and the simple things we were missing, and indeed realise that being on a crazy journey without focus can lead you to miss so much.
Being unique, being special and having your own gifts. There are over 7 billion people on the earth, and if we’re all part of a jigsaw of humanity, we’re all important, all unique, and all have a place and a purpose. It’s being who we truly are, giving ourselves that permission, that allows the jigsaw of humanity, that wonderful tapestry of life, to be complete.
Take responsibility for your own happiness - it’s in your hands. You need to ask yourself the question, ‘what can I do here, how can I respond?’ And know that your feelings are from your own thoughts, so to control those thoughts is to have that power truly in your own hands.
This episode is really about freedom, about permission, about taking control of life and taking the chances in front of you.

Human Computer Interaction - Discussing the importance of customer experience, interaction and moving ahead of the times!
The Personal Connection
05/26/20 • 43 min
An episode with David Whitehouse, founder and director of InLife Design was never going to stick strictly to the topic, but we covered so much.
David is the "go-to" guy when it comes to adding depth and quality to the experience of your online presence, and has built a team at InLife that bring so much expertise.
With services aimed at SMEs and larger corporations, there is so much they can offer, but delving deep into one of David's biggest passions brought a really interesting interview.
It's easy to look at our online presence as a business in a very one-directional and one dimensional way, but there is so much more to consider.
From exploring the evolution of technology, past mistakes we've both made and seen, and indeed what could be around the corner, join us on a journey through Human-Computer Interaction. (And avoid the Einstein quote that "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.")

Alvin’s story is an inspirational and exciting one, and I bought in to his ethos and approach from the outset.

Through this conversation with Alvin we dive keep in to key strategies that you can employ straight away to be the vehicle of change within your business.

Alignment is everything - it's time to set your heart free and connect to your true path!
The Personal Connection
05/24/21 • 44 min
Do you really love yourself? Really love where life is taking you? Are your dreams aligned with your reality? Is your journey taking you to the right destination?
So many things we can do and approach, it’s so easy to make grand plans but then do nothing about them. Do you ever stop and ask yourself, why?
This episode is all about unlocking those barriers, taking the chance on what life can really offer.
From a business marketing background, we’re here today to ask the big question - what’s stopping you from grabbing all that 2021 has to offer?
Join us as we ask the reasons why we so often stumble and don’t make the progress we can, identify those self-sabotaging programs and thoughts, finding your own truths and aligning a new reality.
Do you actually know what you want? Is it time to step back and re-evaluate?
It’s so easy to be swayed by the media and society telling us what we should want, and even being stuck in our own tracks that life has set out for us, take a moment, challenge the status quo, and begin to discover your true position and direction.
Stop chasing everyone else’s goals, and get in tune with what’s right for you!
It’s time to be true to yourself! Give yourself permission to be you. It’s not about following everyone else’s path, or replicating other’s success - it needs to be real and authentic to who you are.
You have to value yourself, value what you’re presenting, and you have to value those you work with.
But how do you get the balance right? Is it time to start thinking more with your heart rather than your head?
With a belief and service perfect for individuals in the workplace, solopreneurs, or luminaries who are wanting to be the inspiration and guide for others, from energy teachings to being your cheerleader for a big event, Nicola van Dyke has so much to offer.
MANIFESTING - visualise what you want, imagine what it’s like in your reality, and allow it to enter your reality sooner.
Powerful thought indeed, but it’s time to take action. It's about finding balance rather than chasing ideals.
