Transitioning the lessons from home into the boardroom, and vice versa!
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.

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.

Presentation Skills and Taking It To The Next Level - Whether In Person or Online
Knowing how to truly present to a variety of audiences is a skill - whilst some people are born natural presenters, we can all learn and improve and take our presentations to the next level.
Whilst considering how to present better with client pitches and indeed online meetings, I came across the work of Andrea and Ideas on Stage and just had to bring him to the podcast.
Ideas on Stage are based in the UK, US, France, Spain and Italy and are the communication experts with a full range of solutions to help individuals and organisations improve the presentation.
From helping leaders deliver powerful presentations, create inspiring events and empower their organisations with high-quality public speaking coaching and training, Ideas On Stage are there to help.
This interview with Andrea Pacini is absolutely packed with information and key takeaways that can empower you to take your presentation to the next level.
From realising the three key areas of what makes a great presentation:
- Craft a compelling and captivating message
- Avoid death by PowerPoint
- Connect with the audience and deliver
To understand some of the key elements that craft a presentation - including only using that slide deck to amplify your message, one of the greatest lines I’ve taken from the interview is this simple idea when crafting your message:
Keep the message simple - do not try to pack in everything - if you do, you will end up saying nothing!
Simply ask:
What? So what? What next?
Want to understand that further? Hit play and hear from the man himself.
Finally, if you want to see Andrea in action, check out his event on How to Deliver a Powerful Presentation.
