For many years, people have associated success with Intelligence Quotient (IQ). However, backed by years and years of research suggest that Emotional Intelligence outperforms IQ in the success metre. So how can this intangible yet critical factor lay the groundwork for successful business leaderships and relationships?In this episode of Influence by Design, we discuss harnessing emotional intelligence to empower business relationships with Sherrie Laryse. Sherrie’s focus on teaching emotional intelligence is reinforced by years worth of experience in working with human behaviour, neurolinguistics, grief, trauma, and more.In a nutshell, Emotional Intelligence is about understanding our own emotions. For Sherrie, being able to decipher personal sentiments is key to understanding anybody else’s. In the business space, Emotional Intelligence serves as a valuable asset that fosters a healthy relationship between peers and clients.When utilised properly, Emotional Intelligence empowers relationships - it ensures individuals are equipped on how to look at other’s points of view, handle “difficult” clients and lead better collaborative initiatives.Samantha Riley xxFor full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/498Get your free copy of The Human Design Advantage -  https://samanthariley.global/advantage/Join the Coaches, Thought Leaders & Changemakers FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/172041823301121I’d love to connect with you - please reach out and say hi: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesamriley/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samriley/

The business landscape is rapidly evolving and it’s no longer advisable to rely on existing strategies, hence entrepreneurs are encouraged to foster innovation through the use of emerging technologies and intrapreneurship amongst their team.We’ve seen and heard the benefits of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in business.  However, as entrepreneurs, we need to learn how to use this technology to stand out and not settle into a cookie-cutter mould of sounding like other businesses.When we empower our employees to think like entrepreneurs and explore new ideas, it unlocks tremendous opportunities for business growth. Moreover, business cultures that facilitate continuous learning and experimentation are paramount to an organisation’s ability to stand out and navigate challenges effectively.

Whether you’re starting out or have been in the coaching industry for quite some time there are some mistakes that hinder you from achieving your desired income.

What if you’re doing all the right things to increase brand visibility and yet you’re still the worlds best kept secret, you're not expanding your network, and you’re not reaching your ideal prospects?  Although some people may argue that this is a case of under-representation, this could be due to visibility bias.In this episode of Influence by Design, I chat with The Brand Scientist, Chloé Nwangwu about Visibility Bias: Why Showing Up May Not Be Enough To Overcome Invisibility. She uses an interesting method of incorporating science and emotions to better position a brand’s visibility.It may seem normal for “visibility nerds” or those who know exactly what to do to increase brand visibility to get overlooked despite employing strategies that can get them noticed. The reason behind this is that society has been conditioned to under-recognise certain kinds of people and experiences. Chloé shares The Four Phases of Visibility so you know what you can do for where you’re currently at, which is crucial to getting noticed. In each stage, she recommends systems and strategies that can effectively counter visibility bias and broaden your sphere of influence.Samantha Riley xxFor full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/492Get your free copy of The Human Design Advantage -  https://samanthariley.global/advantage/Join the Coaches, Thought Leaders & Changemakers FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/172041823301121I’d love to connect with you - please reach out and say hi: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesamriley/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samriley/

With over 900 million users, LinkedIn is the largest online professional networking sites. It has a plethora of opportunities to build business connections, but with such a vast user base, it can be challenging to stand out and make genuine connections that can help grow your business. In this episode of Influence by Design, I speak with LinkedIn Marketing Strategist, Karen Yankovich about how to build genuine connections and maximise LinkedIn for business growth. She advocates using LinkedIn to show up with influence and credibility to form connections with other thought leaders.   Having a strong presence on LinkedIn is necessary for a business to grow and foster meaningful connections.

We see a lot of people struggling to accomplish their daily tasks and long-term goals, even though they’re spending hours upon hours a day working. Although they’re putting in an incredible amount of work, they’re still not getting the results they want. In this episode of Influence by Design, I chat with my husband and business partner Leon, about the importance of effective time management and focus for coaches who want to grow their business. We discuss the strategies, tools, and ways that we achieve better time management based on our experiences and the experiments we have run within our business.As business owners, it's easy to lose track of time when trying to juggle multiple tasks at once. Without effective time management, tasks can take longer than necessary to complete which means the business can easily plateau.Having the ability to focus and prioritise tasks is key to ensure you’re focussing on the things that will move the needle and help you achieve your goals faster.If you want to know more about effective time management strategies and make the most of whatever time you have to scale the business, this episode is for you.

The phrase ‘woo-woo’ is often used to describe concepts such as spirituality, intuition, and energy work, and is considered taboo in many corporate cultures. However, incorporating woo in the corporate space might be the perfect union that creates a positive work environment. In this episode of Influence by Design, our guest Dr. Robyn McKay shares how consultants can take woo into the corporate workplace. She is an award-winning psychologist and the leading expert in Spiritual Intelligence.Despite being a smart, science girl existing within the walls of corporate, this didn’t stop Robyn to research more about her spiritual self, which ultimately led to an awakening and passion to share her knowledge with a corporate audience.  Many consultants don’t introduce spiritual concepts into the corporate world because of fear and judgement that people might not take them seriously.  But there are opportunities to introduce them to workplaces who are open to new concepts. Learn more about the impact of bringing woo in the workplace, and begin to understand the strategy of combining spiritual and scientific tools to transform leadership and corporate experiences.Samantha Riley xxFor full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/487/Get your free copy of The Human Design Advantage -  https://samanthariley.global/advantage/Join the Coaches, Thought Leaders & Changemakers FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/172041823301121I’d love to connect with you - please reach out and say hi: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesamriley/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samriley/

We often hear people say, “It’s not about the money”.  But in reality, money is a key factor in life and business. Without money, it’s unlikely a business will survive, and you won’t have the freedom to live the life you dream of.In this episode of the Influence by Design podcast, Samantha and Tim debunk a common misconception of business owners - it’s not about the money. Having money corresponds to having freedom and access to better opportunities. Business owners can design the lifestyle they want, decide on their working hours, and choose the clients they want to work with when their  income supports them.Money opens up your world to better experiences that you can share with the people you love.  It’s only a matter of putting meaning behind what it can do for you and your business. Samantha Riley xxFor full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/486/

Setting goals is an essential part of being successful in business. Having a clearly defined goal allows us to better measure progress, and ultimately reach desired results. However, it can be difficult to monitor progress and ensure that you are on track to reach your goal without proper tracking and checking in.In this episode of Influence by Design, we explore the importance of knowing if you are on track to reach your goals, or whether some re-adjustments are needed. One of the most valuable skills you can have as a business owner is setting targets and regularly checking your developments.

In this episode of the Influence By Design podcast, we discuss how to create your success plan with Sarah Walton. Sarah is a business mentor who helps coaches and entrepreneurs break down enormous plans into smaller, attainable pieces. We’ve been told that we have no control over everything except what we do at this exact moment. Hence, whatever we do today can have a profound impact on our future situations.Consciously choosing and planning what you can do to help your business move forward makes you unstoppable. If you want to learn how to harness this power and start preparing for the new year, be sure to listen to the episode.  Samantha Riley xxFor full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/451/Get your free copy of The Human Design Advantage -  https://samanthariley.global/advantage/Join the Coaches, Thought Leaders & Changemakers FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/172041823301121I’d love to connect with you - please reach out and say hi: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesamriley/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samriley/
