Children shed light for Dr Shelley James on the need for simple, new and context sensitive content about health and wellbeing during lockdown.
Get Noticed! Send a text.Dr Shelley James hosted a panel with a group of 11-13 year olds to give feedback on her recent edumercials about the impact of natural light on wellbeing. I sat in and was taken aback by their insight and candour, but also share here what they taught us about the importance of taking into account some simple truths about what we share and how we share it; regardless of the age of the audience.I mention recording and editing the podcast on Descript. I have to say I still can't quite believe what I am seeing as I edit text and the audio track is simultaneously edited...one has to see it to realize it's really doing this.

Donald Trump has given a free masterclass on public relations and here are 5 key lessons for business owners anywhere.
Get Noticed! Send a text.Like his policies or not, Donald Trump has given a masterclass on public perception management which holds lessons for all business owners. I use the SPEAK|pr framework to interpret the actions of this billionaire NY property developer who managed to build a following which would storm the US Capitol buildings on the 6th November. I break down how Trump and his cohort took a leaf out of Joseph Goebbels, master orator and propagandist generally accounted responsible for presenting a favourable image of the Nazi regime to the German people.However, his process and approach can be a model not least the power of owned media. I try not to be political just analytical, so that we can learn from Trump how he built a following around a cause; some of the best practices should be used to undo the damage done to the fabric of the nation but also the reputation of America worldwide.

Are you are putting your kids under more stress during lockdown by ignoring the picture superiority effect in your home school instructions to them.
Get Noticed! Send a text.We are now subjecting our children to intense stress by ignoring the picture superiority effect, and we can do something about it. The PSE says "Items studied as pictures are better remembered than items studied as words even when test items are presented as words." Then why am I receiving all my 11 year old daughters' home school instructions as long form bullet pointed list which an 11-year-old is supposed to both understand and comply with and finally to be motivated by.In this episode I invoke Wiio's law of miscommunication, and urge everyone to start to send information in the format that the audience is going to find most appealing; and to an 11 year old that's got to be moving images! It's not much different for the big kids who are working from home also using MS Teams.Support the showSubscribe to my free newsletterhttps://www.theunnoticedentrepreneur.com/

The South African pilot who took my girl for a flight today said his business would take off if I left a review on TripAdvisor, here's why.
Get Noticed! Send a text.The South African pilot who took 11 year old daughter for a flight today said his business would take off if I left a review on TripAdvisor. Every month, 456 million people – about one in every 16 people on earth – visit some tentacle of TripAdvisor.com to plan or assess a trip. Whilst there are fake reviews, it's a key site for businesses of all sizes including the Great Western Airports, to get personal recommendations. And it makes a differnce - March 2015 study by Medallia on TripAdvisor shows that accommodations that respond to more than 50% of social media reviews grow occupancy rates at more than twice the rate of properties that tend to ignore reviews. The research shows that responding to more than 50% of reviews correlates with 6.8 percentage points growth in occupancy rate.So of course I left a review, and so can you to support your favourite venue or show, but if you have a business subject to reviews, the research shows it's important to address them quickly.Support the showSubscribe to my free newsletterhttps://www.theunnoticedentrepreneur.com/
