Welcome to another exciting "Brand Strand" Episode of "The Good Listening To Podcast" with me Chris Grimes!
"Brand Strand" is where I wrap an Episode of the Podcast - with its strong storytelling construct - around a particular individual or Company - to amplify their Company or Personal Brand.
And so to that end, please welcome to the "GLT Clearing" today: Master Networker & Aussie LinkedIn "Inspiration Sensation" (and all round Positive Motivational Force of Energy to be reckoned with) that IS - Edward Zia!
Edward Zia - International Master Coach & Speaker - is nothing short of a being phenemenon (er, enomernom-er-nomernon!)
A very impressive Motivational & Networking force indeed - and much admired on LinkedIn - as he has now just topped an astonishing Network of 80,000 Followers - and counting!
How's THAT for Networking?!
In a nutshell, everybody knows about Edward and Lassie Zia!)
Enjoy!
If you'd prefer to "Watch/Listen" to Edward's interview, then you can also do that here:

The Podcast series that features "The Clearing": Where all good questions come to be asked and all good stories come to be told!
With some lovely juicy storytelling metaphors to also enjoy along the way:
The Clearing itself - A Tree (where we get to "shake your tree to see which storytelling apples fall out, in the form of a lovely storytelling exercise called "5-4-3-2-1") - some Alchemy - some Gold - and finally a Cake with a Cherry on Top!
Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a Clearing!
Also think about William Shakespeare - and about Jaques in "As You Like It" in particular:
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages..."
Jaques: Act II Scene VII

Who are you? What's your story? And what 'life-lessons-learned-along-the-way' would you like to share with us? And just to get bit "existential on yo ass" too (!) what would you like your legacy to be? How would you most like to be remembered?
