Wendy Capewell on Show #12: Living in the Moment, Being Positive, Self Care, Social Media, Toastmasters and Powtoon

Living in the Moment, Being Positive, Self Care, Social Media, Toastmasters and Powtoon with Wendy Capewell, Life Coach, Hypnotherapist and Counsellor at Copewell Therapies. What We Recommended: Tools & Apps Asana – “I use that for my own tasks, but I also use it in conjunction with someone who helps me with my online marketing. He will set up the tasks, remind me what I need to do, and then I can put that, whatever I've done, into the app. It means that all my tasks are listed, and you can list them under different projects too.” Scannable – “It's an app that I have which means that I don't have to collect business cards at network meetings. I can just scan it. It then goes into my contact details. If they're on LinkedIn, you actually get the LinkedIn connection on your phone too.“ Periscope – live video recorded and broadcast on your Smartphone “The other thing I've just got, and I haven't really used it, although we did use it at a workshop that I ran with a couple of others a month ago now.” PowToon – “It's an animation program, and you can use it free. I've got it as an introduction. I've made an introduction on my website. It's fun to use. If you enjoy technology and using these little characters and so on, it's great fun.” Facebook – “Some people frown on Facebook, but I find that some of the groups there can be really good. I'm actually part of a therapist group. There's lots of people exchanging information and offering advice. Those kinds of things I can pick up from there.“ Twitter – “I've started using Twitter more, and the one thing that I've started doing is I've got my own hashtag. It means that whenever you put a post on, say, Facebook, social media, Twitter, then if they click on that hashtag, it brings up all the articles and posts that are under that hashtag. My hashtag is #unstoppableconfidence” Other Resources Toastmasters - “I've also joined a Toastmasters group, which I'm going to ... I'm doing my first talk this evening. I wanted to be able to present public speaking better, which I'm doing more of now, so I thought I'd join the Toastmasters. Whilst it can be quite formal and very, very structured, and I had to get my head around it a bit, but I also find it great fun.” POWER to Live More Newsletter - “I always find your newsletters fascinating. I really enjoy. I look forward to reading them, so they're great. I also pick up your tips, because you've usually got a little nugget in there somewhere in your newsletter. I search for it.” Music Spotify - “I've recently discovered Spotify. I really love that, because you can just pick from an era or a particular artist or just choose the type of music, so that you want relaxing music or if you want dance music. It's free. Tips Working three days a week – “Generally I found that I was trying to satisfy my clients' needs rather than ... and work around them, which made my life pretty disjointed. I wasn't very focused then or very organised. I would find that I didn't get things done particularly well. By having more focus and organising my week better, I find that I get more done, and I'm better organised too.” Health Routines - “I do have breakfast every morning. I do do some exercise. I may go for a walk. Yes, I like to get myself prepared for the day. I guess not meditation, but those positive thoughts about how my day is going to be and looking forward to it. I like to start my day feeling positive, and generally I do, because I do love my life and I'm really passionate about what I do too, so that all helps.” Painting and Drawing - “One of my hobbies is painting or drawing. I believed as a child, I was hopeless at art. About 7 years ago, I decided to join an art class and see if I could be taught how to paint and draw. I really, really love it. I find it's a great way of unwinding.
