In order to communicate effectively, we need to connect with our audience, whether that is ourselves if we are planning or working on an important project.

Our partners…
Our children…
Our clients…
Our social media followers…

We connect when we are FULLY present with them.

This means that we are truly aware of who we are communicating with and if they are ready to hear our message.

If we are using language that they comprehend.

If they have actually acknowledged and understood our communication.

Being present when we communicate matters with clients and prospects staff, partners, suppliers.

It, of course, is also relevant to our personal relationships – how we communicate with our partners, kids and even our pets.
Being present is how we develop our presence.

Listen to hear:

  • Why multitasking is not your friend
  • How past upsets and failures can keep us un-present
  • When language can take us from present to not present
  • Why being in our head keeps us from connecting
  • The importance of taking time to be present with our dreams and visions
  • The greatest gift you can give another human being

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
