Penny felt an instant shift in frequency just doing an everyday thing - one she reckons you've felt too. She thinks if you know how to handle frequency shifts, it'll be a game changer for your job, your life and basically, how you relate and connect with others.

Penny had a great idea for a podcast that was hijacked when she couldn't find the six she was looking for. I bet you wouldn't be able to, either. She realised that we're out of practice of manually tuning in, simply because we don't need to do it anymore. Penny reckons learning how to tune-in and adjust frequency is the most valuable communication technique you can re-learn.  --- Show notes: Hey, it's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).

Penny caught herself doing something weird. Chances are you've done it too. What it reminded her is that most of the time, we're not in control of our communication - the herd is.

The viral podcast The Telepathy Tapes has Penny thinking about all sorts of things (as truly great podcasts are able to do). While the world wrestles with the science of telepathy Penny's starting thinking about something much less controversial but often overlooked - something distinctly different from telepathy, but when harnessed can supercharge your communication.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finding it hard to find ideas, new angles, or great guests for your show, meeting or event? In this week's episode of The Penny Drop, Penny shares a metaphor that will get you thinking and get you drafting. She explains that having a good drafting system for your ideas isn't just something you do on 'podcasting days' it's something good hosts do all the time. It's a way of being. Our way to navigate life. --- Show notes: Hey, It's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).

Many people ask Penny how they can improve their skills as a podcast, radio, event (or even meeting) host, but often they want to start in the wrong place. Understandably, most of us tend to want to improve our scripting, or content, our tech or how we look and sound because we care about the end result. However, in this episode of The Penny Drop, Penny talks about the art of calibration and how getting this bit right early, affects everything else that follows. --- Show notes: Hey, It's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).

Penny's been reflecting on her experiences as a radio, podcast and event host and learning from other great hosts as she prepares for a season full of tips and techniques to help you become a better host. How does she sum it all up? You need to become an Orienteering Bat. Sound weird? Fair enough - you'd better have a listen to work it all out.

It's really cold in Tassie right now and it's led Penny to get really carried away with her fire wood metaphors! She reckons she's seen something in her firewood that you may need to hear. She's wondering if you're accidentally selling bad wood. It'll make more sense if you listen - promise. ---  SHOW NOTES: Buy a ticket to Be a Better Guest: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/932050687697 Hey, It's Penny here (more about me below) - if you have a question that you want answered on the pod, record it and then send a short voice memo to my email so I can use it on the Penny Drop (with your permission).
