   Christine Mullaney - Creating Connected Communication

   Liezl talks to Christine Mullaney, an expert on all things communication, working as a TedX speaker and communication coach. Liezl and Christine discuss the nature of connected communication and how it can be persistently improved, as well as Christine’s fascinating life journey to date, and how she learned to connect her mind and heart once more. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s important to take into consideration the cultures and backgrounds of those we communicate with. Effective coaches are those who look at an individual’s needs and tailor their training to provide them with a unique outcome. When it comes to purpose, patience matters. Instead of striving to discover purpose through effort, it’s often valuable to sit back and wait for purpose to present itself naturally. Heed your instincts and trust others. Let people in and let them share their stories with you. This is the best way to open yourself to new experiences and foster connected communication. BEST MOMENTS "It’s vital to consider the things we say as different cultures and languages – it may mean something entirely different”” "As a coach, we’re not there to explain how something can be different for another person." "Everything in life will show itself with time." “Love has always been my key modality” GUEST RESOURCES Podcast: https://bit.ly/ConnectedCommunicationPod (https://bit.ly/ConnectedCommunicationPod) Email: christine@languagecouragecoaching.com (mailto:christine@languagecouragecoaching.com) Website: http://www.languagecouragecoaching.com/ (http://www.languagecouragecoaching.com/) LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/christinemullaney (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinemullaney) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/connected_communication/ (https://www.instagram.com/connected_communication/) VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inthespotlightwithliezl (https://www.facebook.com/inthespotlightwithliezl) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inthespotlightwithliezl (https://www.instagram.com/inthespotlightwithliezl) Facebook personal: https://www.facebook.com/lcolditzvanrooyen/ (https://www.facebook.com/lcolditzvanrooyen/) Instagram personal: https://www.instagram.com/liezl_colditzvanrooyen/ (https://www.instagram.com/liezl_colditzvanrooyen/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/van-rooyen-liezl/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/van-rooyen-liezl/) ABOUT THE PODCAST In the Spotlight was born as a platform to share, broadcast and promote the interesting, wonderful and inspiring things that some of the people who crossed Liezl’s path have done.

From battling infertility to being diagnosed with an auto-immune disease, Debbie shares her inspiring journey of courage and determination. Despite the setbacks, she has found solace and strength in various activities, such as running and bodybuilding. However, her health took a turn for the worse, leading her to give up running and face the reality of her condition.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Debbie has shown resilience and a determination to live life to the fullest, participating in activities such as running, race walking, and bodybuilding. Debbie has found strength and inspiration through sharing their story and connecting with others who have faced similar challenges.

Life is always unpredictable and the need to adapt and make the most of each day, even in the face of adversity, is crucial in finding inner peace. BEST MOMENTS "I suffered multiple miscarriages. It was very hard. I became very bitter at times, very, very broken, a lot of despair, a really dark place." "I was very private that way, especially back then. And no, in the beginning, nobody knew for years, right the way up to actually my miscarriage, which was short, like three years into it already, nobody knew” "I just sat down and I wrote a long letter to everybody to explain what we'd been through, to explain what I was going through at that time." "I had my own plot twist again. And after running a race, suddenly became quite ill the week after."

   Starting a business that suits your lifestyle with Sue Parker

   Liezl interviews Sue Parker, a female lifestyle entrepreneur who shares her journey of leaving her corporate job to pursue her passion and create a business that allows her the time and location freedom she desired as a mother of three. Sue opens up about her experience with burnout and the challenges she faced in the corporate world, as well as the pivotal moment when she realised she needed to make a change. She offers valuable insights and tips on how to find balance between work and family life, build an audience, and transition from a corporate job to entrepreneurship. KEY TAKEAWAYS Finding balance between work and family life is a common struggle, but it is possible to make changes and create a lifestyle that allows for both. Burnout can be a wake-up call and a catalyst for change. It is important to prioritise self-care and listen to your own needs. The corporate world often does not support the needs of working parents, and there is a need for cultural change to accommodate more flexible schedules and work-life balance. Building an audience and creating an email list are important steps in starting a business. It is essential to focus on providing value and connecting with your target audience. Making small changes and setting clear boundaries can help create time for pursuing your passion and building a business, even while juggling a demanding corporate job and family responsibilities. BEST MOMENTS "I hit burnout. And that was probably one of the worst experiences of my life." "Being a parent to me is the first and foremost, the biggest, most important job in the world. But after that, I do have a you, an identity, a purpose to fulfil in the world." "When you fill that cup up and when you feel like you're doing something good, you're progressing, it makes you show up better at home and with the kids." "Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster. We go in these ebbs and flows of self-doubt and it's training and pushing past the resistance, building that strength, building the really good, healthy habits that keep us going."
