Discovering Your Return on Energy
Listen at [09:10]

Return on Energy happens when you’re doing things you’re engaged in, you’re energised by them. When you’re in this state of ‘flow’ you can make a much bigger impact, and then you’re more profitable.

Rhonda helps her clients in the finance world really get focused on self-awareness to get them to be at their best before building a team around them to ’round them out’. She starts with an energy audit and several self-awareness exercises.

The key is to get really clear and concise on what you want to say.

How to Build Your Confidence With Live Video
Listen at [25:00]

Doing something new means you’re going to feel incompetent the first time you do it. So embrace that and understand that like any new skill you have to practise it before you become confident.

Remember why you’re doing this. If we do this we can build our messaging and serve our target audience with our message.

Keep the end goal in mind all the time.

How Running Virtual Workshops Have Helped Rhonda Raise Her Live Video Game

A simple tip is having a clicker so you can control your slides.

Another tip, if you’re using Zoom, is to have a second computer set up so you can watch the chat, as currently if you share your screen you can’t see the chat.

Another thing Rhonda has learned from doing live video is that it’s so much easier for your audience to connect with you than when they’re reading your blog, for example. They can see your face and see how much you care. This authenticity is what draws people in.

Remember that even if we’re in a professional situation it doesn’t mean we can’t laugh and smile and engage the audience by sharing something personal.
