I believe that if people have an emotional connection to what they do then they will work better Those organisations that are able to unlock human potential will be those that are the most successful. Inspiration is about having a vision and others believing it alongside you As a manager, you need to manage the energy not the time You can learn from the past but need to be in the present The more you exercise your talents the better they become I have the ability to find the best in each person Inspiration is different from motivation; you only need to be inspired once but you can be motivated over and over If you want to inspire people you must be authentic and tell your own story and any interesting story has both ups and downs Communication is about your audience, not about you. You need to make an emotional connection with others. When you begin any presentation getting the attention of your audience at the start will begin to move them to a point of flow When you understand who you are, you can understand who you can be   BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m always looking to see what is best in each person’ ‘If you want to make other people happy do something you love’  ‘If you do something you love you are often in flow’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property Jan Muhlfeit    ABOUT THE HOST Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Successful leader, high energy, hands-on public speaker, author, facilitator and regular contributor to ‘Entrepreneur.com’ Tina Frey Clemen shares amazing content with Toni about the art and skill of facilitation, presentation and speaking. She explains why you need feedback and how to move from competency to mastery along with the power of the language you use in changing your perspective. The Art of facilitating is about understanding both the theories and science that underpin the message and the responses of the people you are working with and this is a masterclass for anyone in how to achieve this.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Facilitation, presentation and speaking are both an art form and a skill. In the beginning, I was terrified and not good but I persevered because it was something I was in love with You have listen to the feedback and change, feedback is a feast that you have to eat Moving from competency to mastery is about stealing from the best. You have to understand the theories and the science and take from others and then you have to do it and keep doing it again and again. Everyone makes mistakes and I am able to teach about my mistakes to my facilitation warriors. When you are facilitating it’s not about entertaining and it’s not about you it’s about the message and ensuring the people who you are facilitating retain it and apply the skill set themselves. Thought, feeling, action is about understanding what the thought is, the feeling it brings and the action you take. Having a different perspective can bring a shift in the way you feel. By using different language you can show up differently. You can control fear and use it as a tool if you shift your perspective. The definition of facilitation is sharing the learning and getting out of the way so that the learner can learn in the way they need to.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m a self-confessed facilitation nerd’ ‘External feedback is vital because with internal feedback you can focus only on the negatives’ ‘The art of the question back the most important technique you can learn’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property RPC America   ABOUT THE HOST Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Toni talks with the inspirational Jose who in his journey to becoming a successful global speaker uncovered ground breaking insights for personal development that turned his obstacles into triumphant public speaking and stand up comedy performances. He shares inspirational advice on how even negative reactions or the worst case scenario happening are things you can get through and learn from. There is something for everyone in this episode about overcoming fear, taking action and expressing yourself so the whole world knows who you are.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It was millions of micro moments of bravery doing what I feared. When you are a public speaker you need to know your audience. Joining toastmasters was an opportunity to expose myself in a controlled manner on a weekly basis. Controlling your breathing is an important element when public speaking. Everyone faces challenges and there is a level of ear but the more you put yourself in situations when you need to face your fear the more in control of yourself you become. Negative reactions can play a big role in becoming de-sensitised. Even if the worst-case scenario does happen you will still be here and there is a lesson around it. If fear is something you know is going to be there, it’s a constant, and will not stop you taking action Friends and family almost never change how they think about you, the dynamics don’t change they are the people who know your essence. It may have been that outside world didn’t know you because you didn’t express you. When you show up you are not just showing up for yourself you are showing up for others and letting them know they matter.   BEST MOMENTS ‘With a change in mindset fear becomes a trampoline that you metaphorically jump on’ ‘It may have been that outside world didn’t know you because you didn’t express yourself’ ‘Do it for yourself and to impact others’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

In this episode, Toni is interviewed by senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor Jeannette Lintfoot for her podcast Brave, Bold, Brilliant.   They discuss how Toni and her husband juggled having two little boys to look after and two full-time jobs with starting a property business. As well as how they borrowed from other people to get started rather than following the traditional financing route. Toni is passionate about helping others through being an educator and public speaker. She explains how she overcame fear and risk to transition from her day job in HR to fulfilling her dream to help others by teaching them to become property developers.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It is possible to build a huge property empire even if you do not have much money of your own, at the beginning. Being curious and becoming a lifelong learner is highly beneficial regardless of your chosen career. Fear is a good thing because it makes you stop and think, but you must not let it overwhelm and paralyze you. You need to fully understand the risk, then do what you can to mitigate them. When you have bad experiences, learn from them, and use them to spur you on. Sacrifices are an investment. It´s short term pain for long-term gain. Be true to yourself, do things your way, don´t worry about being judged by others. You need to be sure that you are striving to achieve the right goals. It's all too easy to put a lot of time and energy into something that does not bring you happiness. Approach things in a way that is congruent with your values. You gain more by helping others. Seek out and take advantage of win-win situations.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I´m a massive believer in helping other people to understand and realize their potential.’ ´Many people have this massive desire to achieve things, but fear holds them back.’ ‘I see sacrifices as an investment.’ ´People are going to judge you anyway, so let them judge you for being who you are.’     VALUABLE RESOURCES  ttps://www.jeannettelinfootassociates.com/ Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Michael Tow, Actor, Director and Producer is with Toni discussing his journey and the positives of having a transferable skill set and always taking every opportunity. When you put those, you admire on a pedestal it can be easy to think that they are very different but when you realise that everyone is going through the same thing you are, the same fears and concerns you are in a better position to gain perspective. The more you progress the less the fear and Michael shares great advice on how to develop as a public speaker.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Being on stage as an actor was so freeing You can be one person on stage and a completely different person away from the stage The ability to know you can do something is very freeing Connecting with people and helping them with something is what drives me forward and speaking and presentations helped. It’s about showing up taking the opportunities to be able to move towards your goals. Through Clubhouse I saw an opportunity to reach out to actors who needed help. Clubhouse is a great opportunity for public speaking. The people you put on a pedestal are the same as you they are going through the same thing as you. If you are just like them why not give it a go. When you think about the worst that can happen you also need to think about the best that can happen. You can go through a horrible scenario and come through it learning something. You limit yourself when you say others are at a different level, everyone is at a different place in their journey and will have had different opportunities. If you want to improve your public speaking the key is to continually practice and put the work in.   BEST MOMENT ‘I realised that everyone has the same fears and concerns’ ‘Think about what can go well and the best that can happen’ ‘Make sure you put in the work and whatever you think the work is, do more’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property Michael Tow Instagram   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Toni talks with property strategist Jackie Tomes about how public speaking has been a vital part of her journey. As someone who has created her own successful businesses, Jackie now teaches others to do the same and uses public speaking to share her message about both the good times and the things she has had to navigate around in business. Developing and raising the profile of your brand is key if you are taking a long term view with your business and public speaking plays an important part in this as Jackie explains in this inspiring episode.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you are taking a long term view in business, having a brand is vital. Building a brand and raising your profile is all about the value you give and this grows goodwill. Public speaking is the vehicle you can use to get your message out there. It’s about achieving a balance between the value you give to achieve credibility and the processes you have for people who want to know more and pay for your services. Make sure it’s clear how you can help people and how they can work with you. Know what your personal values are, whose opinion you care about and that there will always be people who don’t agree with you. Deciding who you care about is a personal thing and will be different for everyone. Is the person giving you feedback someone you admire and respect? As humans, we take on what others say about us but it is more about the person saying it and where they are in that point in time. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but you don’t need to take it on board. When people judge you remember it’s on their standards, not yours. If you can find a way to be authentically you when speaking in front of an audience that’s freedom.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We would not be where we are today if it wasn’t for the public speaking route I took’ ‘Public speaking is a huge part of the profile we have built’ ‘If you nurture it and treat it in the right way a brand will pay dividends throughout your life’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property Tomes Homes website Property Strategy website   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Toni is with Tony Courtney Brown who is in the process of opening his Bio-Resonance Clinic. He shares the importance of Bio-Resonance, what it is, how it can help and his own experience. Tony explains not only his journey but how his passion for Bio-Resonance has shaped his mission and public speaking. Everyone has a story within them and sharing your story is about serving other people. We can often think that public speaking is about being in front of a large audience but it can take many forms and you can spread your message in lots of different ways to help others.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When you have an entrepreneurial spirit, it is a part of you and everything you do. There is a balance in life between challenge and support. If we are supported in one area of life there will be challenges in another. You can achieve great things if you put yourself in the right position and having a problem-solving skill set is what makes it possible. Whatever the problem it’s all about working out the required action. You can be a public speaker without standing on a stage in front of an audience. When you consult and pitch to groups of managers you are speaking publicly When you are getting your message out there it doesn’t have to be about a sales it can be about an obstacle you’ve overcome or a product or service you have benefitted from. You open up to others and they open up to you. You realise everyone has something in their past and it has affected them profoundly. People begin to see the value in the hidden bits of them they have revealed. Everyone realises they have something to share that is of value and can help other people. Think about something in your life that was a challenge, think about how it might be of help to others. Take a deep breath and work out how to spread your message and tell your story.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Sharing your story is about serving other people and public speaking is about communicating your story to help others’ ‘I realised I had something that was worth sharing, could help and could open discussion with others’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property Tony Courtney Brown Facebook   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.
