The value of discussions in an anonymous environment
Hannah Verrall is a technology consultant and software designer, who was invited by David Hieatt a co-founder of the Do Lectures to participate in an experiment.
All Hannah would need to participate is a fax machine, a classic piece of communications technology, and the time to answer one question every week for a year.
Hannah along with ninety-nine other people accepted David’s invitation, to anonymously answer one question a week for a year and the Fax Club Experiment was launched.
Now a collection of the answers produced within the experiment have been published in a book.
In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds Hannah and host Michael Millward discuss the experience of answering questions in an anonymous environment. What Hannah learnt from the experience and how participating in the first Fax Club Experiment has inspired Hannah to expand the experiment.
This is the podcast for any business person who wants to explore new ways of facilitating a more open way of knowledge sharing.

The most effective way to sell is by communicating the value of your proposition to your potential customer.
Luke Jorgenson started his sales career in commission only door to door sales. If you don’t learn quickly how to sell, you don’t eat.
Luke did learn to sell and as a result he dined well. He also learnt how to deal with a lot of rejection and worked out how to recognise people who were most likely to buy.
Nowadays, Luke is a sales coach.
In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds Luke explains to host Michael Millward that the secret of his success was not his ability to sell, but his ability to engage in two way communication.

Richard Ellis describes the connection between employee wellbeing and employee engagement
Richard Ellis is a New Zealand based corporate health coach who works with businesses of all kinds to impact their bottom-line profitability by connecting employee health and wellbeing to employee engagement.
In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds Richard explains to host Michael Millward the work of a health coach.
They discuss how the medical health care industry is focused on treating acute illnesses, the social care system on chronic conditions once they have taken hold, and health coaches focus on preventing all kinds of health problems.
A fence at the top of the cliff instead of an ambulance at the bottom.
Richard explains how our health, good or bad is a consequence of the decisions we make about every aspect of our lives. His role is to provide the information so that people can make informed choices.
This often leads to sustainable behaviour change, that impacts work performance, enhances employee engagement, improves employee productivity, and increases profits.
This is the podcast to listen to when you have to build a business case for investment in health and wellbeing.
