The Personal Connection

The Personal Connection Podcast, the show where we speak to leading industry professionals to unlock the power of the personal connection for your marketing

The Personal Connection Podcast…but what’s it about?

For me the personal connection is so important, but it comes in so many different ways. And so I want to bring leading industry specialists and experts to explain what the personal connection is to them and how the personal connection can be so valuable in business.

Every fortnight, I’m aiming to bring a new guest onto the podcast as we talk all things connected to the personal connection from photography to branding, marketing to mindset, exploring how powerful owning your brand is and how to unlock the potential to enhance your marketing and customer connection.

If you have a suggested guest for the podcast, or would like to talk to me about joining me on the show, please do get in touch by email.

I hope you enjoy the podcast, and get great value from it!

Human Computer Interaction – Discussing the importance of customer experience, interaction and moving ahead of the times!

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.”)

Mindset and Connection – Discussing the importance of mind and wellness with Laura Amy

Mindset and wellbeing matter – questionably above all else.
The wellbeing of yourself, your team and your friends and family is vital to consider.
Mindset often gets wrapped up within mental health, but it’s something that should be explored on its own because the mindset is so powerful. It can affect your business, change what happens in your business and affects the limits that you put upon yourself.

One of the most significant ways that affect is how you connect with people and how you show up with people. Having this understanding is why I invited Laura Amy to The Personal Connection.

Laura Amy is a business mindset coach who works with coaches, with influencers, with business owners to help unlock the potential within themselves, by bringing a whole understanding: understanding the mind, understanding mindsets and understanding business to unlock the hidden potential.

Communication and Making Every Interaction Count – Add A Personal Touch to Your Customer Experience

Connecting to Your Clients and Staying Front of Mind…using different strategies to communicate with your clients and make a lasting personal connection to them.

Simone is the Senior Creative Writer and co-founder of Curious Pencil (www.curiouspencil.co.uk).

After seeing her work and WHY they established Creative Pencil, I just had to get Simone onto the podcast.

After seeing a gap in the customer experience when completing with clients in her corporate background, Simone saw the potential to bring their creativity into a different sphere, and along with her sister Sheleen, bespoke corporate greetings cards came into life.

Our customers, our suppliers and especially our teams are all so important to us, and if we can all take a moment to make someone feel like they matter, our brand will connect to them on a level that matters – a human level.

People buy from people, and buy and trust on emotion – so why not maximise that connection and stand out.

In this episode, we hear about the background of Curious Pencil and explore why communication is so important to us all in our businesses.

Exploring Simone’s creative background we see how the wordplay and poetry can connect your story to your clients.
