Hello PPS Skool community members, As @Robert Nagy and I shared a month ago via pinned post "A change is coming to our PPS Skool Community" (pinned) and via DM and email, today, 01st June, we are change this setting to public. This means anyone visiting the community page will be able to read the posts and comments inside, including ones you've already made. And we can reach more independent consultants and make it easier for them to find us when searching online and in the Skool Discovery where people can search for communities of interest. Thank you to everyone who has provided supportive comments and messages about our decision to make the community Public and more vibrant. We will still screen members joining via their LinkedIn profile. Skool has some excellent features now to prevent bots, high risk or fake accounts joining. Any questions, feel free to ask 😊 PS : It's also the first day of Winter in Australia and happens to be Rob's birthday. Feel free to share some love in the comments 💕 PPS: We will be opening up Growth Lab soon, of course, you will be the first to learn more!

A few weeks ago a friend and former colleague, Lakshmi, who @Robert Nagy and I worked with via a mentoring program, tagged me in a post on LinkedIn, her friend, Sian, was looking for couples in business (friends, partners, family etc) to interview for The Co-founder Couple. I responded and connected with Sian and did a really enjoyable interview with her. A week or so later after the interview was written up, she shared it for me and then she posted it on LinkedIn and I shared it. A former mentee of ours, Sabina, is running some programs and retreats for couples in business and she did a search on LinkedIn and the article came up. So she invited us to do a YouTube interview for their new channel. How cool is that! Here is the link if you want to have a read of the first interview: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jodiewillmer_want-to-know-more-about-how-robert-nagy-and-ugcPost-7464877006493655040-TaM6/

Hello friends I've had my first conversation testing the pricing of my first product... so I know I can't get ahead of myself because there are more conversations to be had... and therefore, more opportunities. But how do you get people to move past the scarcity mindset they have in NFP and Councils? Is this something that is fairly unique to volunteer engagement because we have done without for so long? How do you even find the organisations who value PD and have money set allocated for this? I got some fairly clear messages today after sharing about my workshop (and this person experienced the workshop and the outcomes and feedback when I first ran it): • Council runs on the smell of an oily rag • I only had money to pay you because I went on leave and had to spend my budget • We only paid 25% of what you're charging for a workshop from the peak body I will continue my conversations. I have another 4 or 5 to come. But I feel like I have to be prepared for similar themes and to have a strategy to speak to this, to challenge this, and to keep on building offers that deliver solutions to the challenges organisations face. Thanks for your encouragement. I'm going to go pull some positives from the conversation now. It wasn't a no, that's for sure... but it was clearly led by limitations.
