- September 23rd 2018
Building one's visibility and influence in today's reputation economy takes time and effort.
As if we're not busy enough with day-to-day demands of our job, we need to factor in creating content, interacting with people on social media, preparing for and delivering speeches et al.
In short, the demands on our time have never been higher!
In this episode, productivity and time management expert, Les Watson, from Get More Time, discusses ways in which overloaded business professionals and thought leaders can get more done in their day.
As Les says: "An hour every day might not sound like much, but if you add it up, that’s seven hours a week. That’s an extra 365 hours up your sleeve every year. Imagine what you could do with that!"
Les has written a new book called Get Back An Hour In Every Day. It's published in an A to Z format and can be used as a quick resource when faced with a specific time–related problem.

CRANK THE 3RD: Exploring the entrepreneurial + creative side of life post 50
CRANK THE 3RD is a weekly podcast in which we explore the entrepreneurial and creative side of life post 50.
You've survived the first two professional chapters of your lives - 20s to mid-30s (chapter 1) and mid-30s and through your 40s (chapter 2).
Welcome to the 3rd chapter! By this stage of your professional life, you've seen a lot, done most things, made some cash, expanded your horizons and probably are more comfortable in your skin than at any other time.
But it’s not necessarily all sunshine and roses either. At some stage, many of us reach a point where we ask: “Is that all there is?”
While we have oodles of experience under our belts and are a lot more sure of ourselves and confident in our own abilities, we also live in a fast-paced volatile world.
Technology is ever-changing, and the AI wave has only just begun. A sense of uncertainty is never far away. We know that if we stand still, we run the risk of losing relevance.
No matter how savvy, experienced and connected we are, certain challenges remain.
But on the upside, the number of opportunities staring us in the face is enormous, and unprecedented!
The goal of CRANK THE 3RD is to inspire energised, forward-thinking 50 and 60-somethings to continue to think expansively and creatively about their current situation, and to ponder, plot and plan the exciting road they have ahead of them.
You’ve put in the hard yards: now it’s time to capitalise!
Let’s dive in!
