interviewing skills
Whether you run your own company, are part of a high flying team or work as a freelancer - pretty much everyone of us will be undervaluing our intellectual assets. Yet they are the one thing that is totally unique to each of us, has the potential to create new value and will go on accruing as we get older... win, win, win.
So what do I mean by 'intellectual assets'? In a nutshell your intellectual assets are everything that has got you to here now. Without exception. Your childhood experience, your home, your lifelong client list, what you've ever been paid to do, your connections. By mapping these and auditing them inventively, you can develop a creative 'offer' that no-one will ever be able to compete with - because they are not you.
Standing back to see the patterns, the overlaps, the skills, new interesting sectors, services you can take from one client to another helps widen and refresh your offer. You can do it annually and each time new perspectives will emerge.
This methodology works across the board. It is simple and highly effective. And you already own the 'ingredients'.

Founder @ Lola Media Ltd Understanding and developing the value of intellectual assets is part of the methodology I developed in helping over 300 creative agencies and professionals to grow their business. Because I can only work with a given number at any one time, I poured my knowledge about this into a book to make it accessible to everyone. With only 5* reviews on Amazon, it will help you unpack the intellectual asset thinking to find new revenues and value in your own business - from what you already own.
leadership skills
As a leader, you are the one in charge of giving your team direction to where you’re heading and to steer them forward. But sometimes, my team takes lead and will steer the project a different way, and it’s oftentimes for the better. My role as a leader is to identify the best idea and to foster an idea to make it happen regardless of whose idea it was.

Director, Interactive Experience @ The American Museum of Natural History presentation skills
Great presenters always do these 5 things:
1. Consider their audience - great presenters determine who they are talking to and how much they know about the subject to establish the purpose of the presentation.
2. Organize their thoughts - they focus on delivering three main ideas that begin with a solid opening and end with a strong close, including a call to action.
3. Channel positive energy - they maintain an open and confident body posture, use gestures to emphasize their points and show enthusiasm with facial expressions.
4. Connect and engage with listeners - they use eye contact to keep listeners engaged and to maintain a conversational feel.
5. Practice constantly - they are familiar with concepts to ensure a smoother delivery and focus on being themselves while getting they ideas across.

Founder @ Jocelin Martinez Communications Training salary negotiation skills
Bridge the gap between people living paycheck by paycheck and people in wealth management by having a personal commitment. Invest in a college degree, most of your living hours are on work. Buy a couple shares and have incentives. The bottom line is to find a way to put money in your pockets, have it naturally grow and all without taking money from others.

As a manager, it's important for you, your managee, and the work itself that you be entirely honest. Tough conversations often require a written list of topics to use as a check-list. It'll help you keep on track, get it all out, and frame the feedback in an actionable way.
