Real Talk with Lisa Patrick Podcast

Just be yourself. Because you can.

Today's episode is all about being you. When you show up as you, it's the fastest way to build a connection and relationships. For some being REAL is the hardest thing to do. Often,  because they get in their own way. Are you struggling with being the real you? Not sure who that is? 

Avoid making this #1 mistake with your story. Because you can.

Today's episode is about mitigating risk. Building a great story means taking risks. Avoid the wrong narrative. Arm yourself with the right story so others will not only engage with you but feel like you understand their story.

How to get others to listen and take action. Because you can.

Today's episode talks about how to communicate and behave with others to get what you BOTH want. It is our responsibility to meet others where they are at and take them on the journey with us to get to where we want to go. Only when you adapt and apply the Platinum Rule® do you get the results you desire. More about how to do that in my book, Intelligent Curiosity. 

How to find your value when you do the heart work. Because you can.

Today's episode is all about the heart. How do you make others feel when you lead with purpose and drive value for the? It's the first step in designing a relevant brand and frankly getting the life you want. not just for yourself, but for others. Not only do I talk about why the heart work is so important to determine how to articulate and illustrate your value, but I provide you with an exercise to help you navigate through the heart work.

Plant seeds, not weeds and watch them grow. Because you can.

Today's episode is all about how to build a connection through adding value and building trust. I grew up on a farm and learned at a young age the value of planting seeds, not weeds. Planting the seeds in your relationships, nurturing them, watching them grow   The key to success is that you've got to show up and be willing to plant the seeds ...

Explore curiosity. Intelligent Curiosity. Because you can.

Today's episode is focused on the most underestimated skill - curiosity. I believe this trait holds the ticket to your business success - you just don’t know it YET! Being curious is more than just the process of seeking answers, it's about being more aware of what's beyond the obvious. When you lack curiosity, you dismiss new opportunities instead of taking the time to explore the scenarios, situations, and solutions that are not visible to others. Only when you are focused, strategic, intentional, and perceptive are you activating your Edge Learning skill of Intelligent Curiosity.  ( which just happens to be the title of my book!  - Available at Barnes and Noble, Amazon and Chapters)

Listening Will Help You Find The Next Opportunity. Because you can.

Today's episode is all about listening to people. You've got to shut up after asking a question, or stating a comment in the flow of your conversations. When you shut up, you set the stage to listen for the next queue for opportunities. Most people fail to shut up and really listen, they are so busy thinking about the next thing to say, that the opportunity passes them by. 

Build your village of knowledge. Because you can.

In today's episode, I was inspired by Virginia Gean, Author of A Village of Knowledge. ( about great business leaders, like Steve Dorfman, CEO of Hughes Company, developed Direct TV, John Shields, Trader Joe's, other iconic brands like Diaper Jenie etc.) What is the legacy of business knowledge you will leave for others to discover and prevent them from making some of the same mistakes you did and gift them the ability to enter markets faster and more effectively because of your wisdom and guidance?
 
 

Sell the course, then build it. Because you can.

In today's episode, most course creators get this VERY WRONG. Most course creators, focus an enormous amount of time on creating the perfect course but then have a hard time getting people to buy the course. Ultimately, thought leaders abandon the course soon after, only left for them to collect dust on their hard drives or within their learning management systems. I created a free resource for anyone to think about opportunities and unique ways to sell their courses. https://www.lisapatrick.ca/resources/

Be an Eligible Receiver. Because you can.

In today's episode, Lisa talks about how to position yourself as the eligible receiver of the next big opportunity. Only when you become THE eligible receiver, will you set yourself for the best chance for success. A deeper dive into this topic is in her book Intelligent Curiosity - The art of finding more.
