Remember when you went to school and certain subjects were boring?

Then there were teachers that just knew how to tell stories to make it engaging.

If you are not in the space of Enterprise Architecture or Digital Transformation, this could be such a topic.

But not when the person talking about it is Glenn Smyth.

Glenn is the founder and CEO of Fragile To Agile, a consulting firm that has rapidly grown to 50 staff. 

I never fully understood what they do until my recent podcast with him.

We delved into the world of AI, digital transformation, leadership, staff retention and organisational culture seen through the eyes from a seasoned professional that has worked on some of the largest and most successful digital transformation projects around.

Think about $1 billion as a price tag...

Working with well known brands in the Middle East, USA, Europe and Australia.

We can learn a thing or two from the man who is gradually moving into the role of CE: Chief Evangelist.

When a self-made multi-billionaire shares his story, you pay attention.

Jack Cowin, Founder of the iconic Hungry Jacks, shared the following with us at the Forbes Icons and Investors Summit in Sydney:

• Jack started his remarkable entrepreneurial journey at age 25 when he got 30 Canadian people to lend him $10,000 each to buy his first franchise.
• That same $10,000 is worth $45 million today.
• Leverage the 3 Ps: People, Passion, Perseverance.
• Be prepared to take risks (if they don't kill you).
• Test your ideas.
• Take failure as a learning experience.
• Have the courage to change if it's not working.
• It's a team effort. You don't do it on your own.
• Recognise the talent of people that can work together.
• As an entrepreneur, figure out what you are good at and hire great people that can do the rest.
• Make sure you ENJOY what you do. "Life is an adventure".
• Keep being curious. (Jack spent the whole day with us and took notes ferociously even at 82 years of age and billions behind him)

I just spoke at an event about the power of communication.

How is it that every time I speak on the topic and share my insights with people, that people get teary, gratefully thank me, and continue talking about what they learned many days, weeks and even years after I left?

In one word: impact.

What I teach is completely different from what anyone else teaches about communication.

You might think you know but you don't.

I help people connect the dots in a fresh way.

Their perspective changes. 

They drop right from their head down into their heart.

Instead of judging people (which causes all the known issues you experience with people), they become grateful and loving towards others which builds trust, rapport and connection at a deep level. 

Your harvest depends on the seeds you sow.

Your results in business and life depend on what you give out to people.

When you are judgmental, guess how people will respond back to you...

When you close up and call people names in your h...

Secret tool number two is: your goals.

GOALS for me is an acronym for “Guided Objectives and Aspirations for Life and Service”.

What I mean by that is, that we seek meaning in what we do, we value guidance and clarity about what truly matters to us, so that we can live a good life that suits us, while being of services to others.

What is it that you aspire to? What are the heart’s desires that you actively pursue?

No matter the chosen field or timeline involved, you can do it. You can achieve at both the small and the extraordinary.

I believe in you and hope that you believe in yourself too.

In my experience, many people don’t have goals. At least not real goals.

A real goal drives you to succeed. It guides you and links to your personal values and aspirations. Your heart is involved, while your brain sees clearly. Moreover, it is written down in line with a proven formula, and you have a specific timeframe attached to it so that you can be held accountable by others.

Mind you!...
