BBY Show S11 Ep10: Why you need to let it go Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The key to creating impact beyond you is to make your story referrable - letting it go and putting it into the hands of others. Making space for others to be part of creating, shaping and sharing the story that you feel so connected to is essential, but often the most challenging. If you're not articulating your story simply and clearly, others are never going to be able to share it with others. Repetition - consistently, frequently and over time - is what it takes to build both your storytelling muscle as well as a set of impactful ‘back-pocket’ stories that are resonant, relevant and referrable time and time again.

BBY Show S11 Ep09: The business of talking with Alan Robertson Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Talk is fundamental to human interaction, talk is inherently purposeful. There are ways of talking, and we all have them - some voices come harder to some people than others but there's no reason why we can't do them all. When meetings are viewed as chapters within a broader issue, it assists in dissecting the problem and engaging all participants in sharing their viewpoints. "To act wisely actually is to take responsibility for our own actions and their impacts on others" - Alan Robertson RESOURCES MENTIONED: On the Front Line: The Collected Journalism of Marie Colvin An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks; ABOUT OUR GUEST: Alan Robertson has committed his working life to facilitating personal, interpersonal and organisational development. In roles ranging from industrial relations negotiator to business psychologist, executive director to executive coach, visiting university teaching fellow to business entrepreneur, his interest throughout has been on how the quality of communication can improve human interactions, relationships, performance and fulfillment. The culmination of this work is his TalkWise project and his VoicePrint tools for other consultants to use in raising the awareness, skill and impact with which they and their clients talk and listen.

BBY Show S11 Ep08: Where are you listening from? Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Our brain acts as a filter that shapes our experience. Behavior - our interactions and actions - shapes our sense of belonging and embeds our beliefs. It is not just about what we are listening for in other people; it's about where we are listening from ie. Our own perspective, experiences and beliefs. The shift in moving beyond our own intentions to imagine something bigger than ourselves begins in understanding what it is about how we show up that galvanizes others into particular ways of being and action.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: “The world has a problem and we need to start sharing…owning the problem is what’s behind the creation of The Alchemie Network and The Alchemie Foundation.” Alex Jennings Understanding others’ strengths and matching that with areas where we are not strong is important in moving away from what’s best for me to what’s best for us - and that includes our teams, partners, customers and our organisation.

Recognising diversity in culture, gender, and social background within your team will lead to business success, only if you remain creative in how you get your team to work.

BBY Show S11 Ep05: The power of just one thing Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS In starting your movement, don't aim for the masses - instead, think about who can be your allies and advocates in building your story. These people are your audience. Your just one thing should be simple, clear, resonant…and repeatable FOR YOU - because if you can't do this, how can people articulate it simply and clearly to others? Your ‘just one thing’ should also be resonant, relevant and impactful for your target audience - the advocates, the allies, the early adopters and the influencers.

BBY Show S11 Ep04: Creating space for shared vision with Natacha Wilson Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Leadership is about listening to others, creating safe spaces to have conversations and connecting together to agree on a shared vision and make a bigger impact. When you are in the service of others, and helping them to grow and be at their best, you need to make sure that you are also being your best. Listen for understanding, appreciate what works and acknowledge what you're seeing and experiencing every day. More and more, we need to invest in active learning strategies and this requires humility - the willingness to listen and to do more than learn about each other but to learn from each other as well.

BBY Show S11 Ep03: Sharing your direction of travel 02/24/2026

BBY Show S11 Ep03: Sharing your direction of travel Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you don't understand why there's a gap between where you are and your vision, you'll never persist with what's required to get you to your aspiration, nor will you be able to articulate why it's important to bridge this gap to others. As we build our movement and our brand, we resonate with and invite others to follow us and become part of our movement from wherever they happen to be. It's easy to get swept away with the vision and purpose of our movement and forget that we actually need to onboard others as they come along, whether their colleagues, compatriots, followers, other influencers. Take those moments to look ahead, keep connected with your vision, and then evaluate the right shortcut to keep moving forward and the right milestones to keep on track.

BBY Show From the Archives Ep.09: Healthy Brand Healthy Business - A personal brand that serves your life 12/02/2025

BBY Show From the Archives Ep.09: Healthy Brand Healthy Business - A personal brand that serves your life Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The power of your personal brand lies not in your own perception of what it is, but in how consistently and authentically others experience you. It exists in the world around you. Trust takes time to build and telling your stories consistently, frequently and over time, not only gives us personal gravitas and authenticity, it allows others to remember what we stand for, where we fit in their world, and what we can be counted on for. In other words, it starts with you. The seven lenses explored—Healthy Mindset, Healthy Body, Healthy Brand, Healthy Business, Healthy Workplace, Healthy Systems, and Healthy Planet—are reaffirmed as interconnected ecosystems that create profound, often unforeseen impacts. Expanding your influence from building brand you to building beyond you - into a "constellation of thinking and learning" - allows you to contribute much more meaningfully to the greater good. Directing your privilege to forge new spaces for inclusion and collective leadership holds you responsible for pushing against conventional methods and helping those with less advantage.

There are three things a business should have - an artist, a dealmaker, and a manager.

RESOURCES MENTIONED: Never Eat Alone by Tahl Raz Keith Ferrazzi - Rebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking by Matthew Syed - ABOUT OUR GUEST: Johann has spent his entire career solving problems and fixing businesses. He discovered the power of systemization and leverage in his early 20's, where he built his first ecommerce business. This knowledge allowed him to grow not only his business but his clients as well. One of his latest businesses has reached a valuation of 8 figures in 2.5 years. Johann has significantly increased the bottom lines of over 1,000 clients in more than 40 industries worldwide. He does this with a focus on technology and utilizing the systems he has built over the last two decades. Johann has an uncanny ability to increase business profit, wealth, and success. He uncovers hidden advantages, overlooked opportunities and undervalued possibilities. This skill set has captured the attention and respect of CEO's, best-selling authors, entrepreneurs, and marketing experts. Johann's clients range from top tier banks to private business owners. But they all have one thing in common – all of them have profited significantly from Johann's expertise. Many clients acknowledge that Johann's efforts and ideas have led to millions of dollars of profit increase and that he is their secret weapon in their war chest.

BBY Show From the Archives Ep.03: Healthy Brand with Jason Burgess Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Putting yourself out there will not just build a network, but also demonstrate your ability and credibility to deliver a result. People buy on emotion and justify on reason. People are not 100 percent driven about the almighty dollar and getting paid the big dollar. They want a level of flexibility, they want a level of work-life balance. It's not what you know, it's not who you know, it's who knows you. “You get knocked down, you get back up, and you've got to keep doing that until people say yes because the yes will come because of the tenacity and the endeavor, and all those sorts of things and your ability to demonstrate success that you actually can get the results on the board” - Jason Burgess. Be prepared to tell your story. It doesn't happen by osmosis, you have to actually tell your story. If you can't articulate those wins and who you are, and what you stand for, there's no trust, there's no building a foundation between you that could develop either into job offer or a client or whatever that is. ABOUT OUR GUEST: After growing up in a small country, Kilmore about an hour north of Melbourne and attending Assumption College teaching him strong people values, and work ethics Jason went on to successfully complete a Bachelor of Business in Commerce and Finance at Monash University. Jason’s career initially commenced in Finance with a major TV network, Network 10 before realising and making a change to a passion of his towards a people-oriented career in Recruitment. For over 25 years, Jason has worked within the Recruitment industry in large corporate environments in end-to-end consulting positions as well as Senior leadership positions managing highly successful teams. It wasn’t until having a family and realising the need for work life balance he established his own recruitment business in Max Executive which focuses on mid to senior level Sales and Marketing positions both nationally and internationally across FMCG, Consumer Goods, Hospitality and Retail Franchising as well as Sport and Leisure sectors. Jason has a basic philosophy when it comes to his business is ‘treat others as you want to be treated yourself’ and has established a knowledge base and network that is highly regarded and the envy of many in a marketplace that is highly competitive and ever evolving.

BBY Show S10 Ep14: What are you listening for? Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The foundations for creating executive presence lie in being present - giving genuine attention to what’s in front of you. Being present - free from urgency, distractions and personal agendas - and listening with a genuinely open mind, is both at the heart of building an authentic personal brand, and an expression of your impact and effectiveness as a leader. Being a leader is not about having all the answers but about creating space for curiosity and learning for you and for others around you. To lead well, be aware of your own personal narratives, and then consciously choose how you want to show up for yourself and for others.

BBY Show S10 Ep13: What's your story? 08/05/2025

BBY Show S10 Ep13: What's your story? Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Research shows that authenticity attracts opportunities so owning your personal brand means you are ‘designing for’ more personally fulfilling work, partnerships and collaborations. To fully embrace who you are, learn to acknowledge compliments and positive feedback with grace and openness. Stop squirming and/or deflecting them! Building a personal brand involves ongoing discovery, listening and being intentional about integrating how others perceive you with your own understanding of yourself. Try affirmations to develop ownership of what others say is great about you - it can profoundly shift your perception of your identity and what you can authentically own about yourself.

BBY Show S10 Ep12: Drawing from within with Nathalie Latham Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Discovering places and practices that align with your innate spiritual or emotional connection to the natural world can be a source of solace, inspiration, belonging and divine connection. Healing from trauma is a slow, non-linear journey that requires immense patience and resilience, celebrating every small win and recognising that setbacks are a normal part of progress. Tough experiences help us shed what's not essential, encouraging us to go off old ambitions, material things, and the need for approval to find the joy in a simpler, more authentic life. Cultivating deep introspection and actively listening to your soul or inner voice will steer you toward your true path. ABOUT OUR GUEST: Nathalie Latham is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is fuelled by a deep commitment to storytelling, creative expression, and environmental advocacy. A polyglot and accomplished photographer, she gained international recognition with her critically acclaimed solo exhibition Love It & Leave It: Australia's Creative Diaspora at the Australian National Portrait Gallery in 2007.

BBY Show S10 Ep11: Letting go of control Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Letting go of control, certainty, perfectionism, and the need for power opens the door to less stress, more effective solutions and a greater sense of community and collective purpose. Focus on controlling what you genuinely can - your own behavior and thinking - especially during challenging times and when the future feels uncertain. Nourishing yourself - taking care of your physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, social, and financial well-being - directly influences the sustained health and success of your career, your work and/or your business. ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

BBY Show S10 Ep10: Letting go of knowing Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Shoshin is the Japanese word for the paradox of the more we know, the less we are likely to be open to learning. Letting go of the need for specific outcomes and embracing a beginner’s mind creates the conditions for personal and professional development. Being entrepreneurial often means letting go of certainty and trusting your inner voice, persisting especially when circumstances are challenging. Viewing the unknown as a blank canvas fosters huge potential for creation, exploration and opportunity.

BBY Show S10 Ep8: Positioning yourself for leadership 06/24/2025

BBY Show S10 Ep8: Positioning yourself for leadership Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Personal branding is a powerful tool to help you reposition both yourself and other’s perceptions of you in your leadership. Positioning yourself as an impactful leader means prioritising based on a clear understanding of your personal brand - who you are, what's important to you, and how you will show up to yourself and those around you. Establishing and maintaining clear boundaries around your time and availability for others will allow you to create space for strategic thinking and empower your team. Developing gravitas and presence is essential - authenticity in this context is about intentionally framing and owning your own narrative about who you are.

BBY Show S10 Ep7: Where do you go to grow? 06/10/2025

BBY Show S10 Ep7: Where do you go to grow? Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS We are an ever-changing ecosystem - our personal and professional identities are continuously evolving, requiring us to actively create what's next for ourselves. Every interaction and external stimulus—be it visual, auditory, or kinesthetic—leaves an undeniable trace on us, shaping who we are every second of every day. Growth isn't always forward or upward; it can be sideways, or even a step backward that creates the necessary space for new possibilities to emerge. Regularly assessing your evolving strengths and passions helps you to identify both your current "superpowers" and the areas where you seek to develop new knowledge or skills.

Working with curiosity, empathy, and experimentation, Belinda helps leaders unlock cultural insights and drive meaningful change.

Her clients range from LEGO, the World Wide Fund for Nature, and Jaguar Land Rover, to UK businesses. Her work has won multiple awards for impact.
