Tazmin (: 01:25

Hello.

Sarah (: 01:26

Hello. How are you? I can say Happy New Year because this is our first episode together of 2023, and of season four. That's exciting.

Tazmin (: 01:39

Really exciting. Really exciting. Yeah. Yep. How was your Christmas and New Year?

Sarah (: 01:45

Yes, it was, it was good. It was good fun. Really good fun. Recharge. The batteries did get a bit poorly, but I think everyone did because I think that's what happens when you bought with your body. When you like, slow down and chill out your body then decides to get poorly. But yeah. How about you? Absolutely.

Tazmin (: 02:06

Yeah, poorly as well for, for quite a long period of time. But I have, I have some news for you, Sarah. Oh. I have some exciting news to share with you. So, you know, my son got married in the summer. Yes. He's, he and his wife are expecting a baby. Oh. So I'm gonna be granny. Oh,

Sarah (: 02:28

Congratulations.

Tazmin (: 02:29

Thank you. Thank you. So, you know, when you were saying about spreading the word, this kid's gonna go to school and say to the other kids, what do you mean your grandmother doesn't have a podcast? , you should follow my grandmother's podcast. Podcast.

Sarah (: 02:43

Well, it'd be like my grandma's cooler than your grandma. Cuz my grandma does a podcast.

Tazmin (: 02:48

. Yeah. Oh, Sophia made me laugh, my daughter, she said, oh, my mom, the first words you're gonna say to that kid is, you know, you can be anything you want

Sarah (: 03:00

And rightly so. Right. Rightly so. So, but yeah, anyway,

Tazmin (: 03:04

It's pretty exciting.

Sarah (: 03:05

Congratulations. Thank you. That's really, thank you. Awesome. Awesome news. So yeah, massive, massive smile on my face. But yeah. Right, so we said, we said, I said that we'd be talking about flexibility and adaptability. Great. As these are arguably one of the most important soft skills that we can have. And they often get put together as they're quite similar, but there is a difference. Would you like me to give you a little rundown of how they're different?

Tazmin (: 03:46

Please? I'm intrigued

Sarah (: 03:48

Actually. So, adaptability. So here you're open to comfort or change your own ideas and preconceptions and adapt to how other people work and how they cope with differences in conditions and environment. So being adaptable helps you to react positively to changes in your environment without it causing too much disruption to you. So that's adaptability. Flexibility is the willingness to meet others halfway and accommodate others' needs and not be too hung up on your own objectives and your own stuff and your own things. So being flexible gives you the ability to quickly adjust to any changes in your personal or work life, again, without it creating like stress, drama, trauma sort of thing. So, yeah. Any, any thoughts on, on, on those two things?

Tazmin (: 04:49

So I suppose because I don't you know, I'm self-employed, I would look at those two and say, for me, adaptability would be, for example, if there was a new piece of software that would help with course creation. It would be the ability to be open-minded enough to say, let me look at that new piece of software or that new way of doing things and see how that could work for me. Yes. And yeah, and and flexibility would be, so you might, you might have a business plan and think, I'm gonna do this, this, and this, but his circumstances change the ability to flex with those changes. Yes, yes. Would you say

Sarah (: 05:29

That's right? Yes, because, and like if you are if you work for yourself or if you work for a business, there are gonna be times where you need to be adaptable and flexible and the examples that you've just given a hundred percent. But there's always, like, for example, if you running a project or a campaign and things don't go to plan you need to be adaptable and flexible. If you're working with external people, so obviously if you are an employee, you'll, you'll have team members that you have to work with. But for you and being self-employed, there might be times where you are working with external people, right? Mm-Hmm. on different projects and stuff. So that's where yeah, the flexibility comes in of the willingness to meet others halfway and accommodate their needs and mm-hmm. . Yeah. And their, and their objectives too.

Tazmin (: 06:32

Yeah.

Sarah (: 06:34

So yeah, so they're pretty, pretty like important skills to have because yeah, and it's a biggie for seo, right? Because if, if you think about algorithms and Google, do you know what I mean? Like, things are constantly changing. And also there might be an instance where you are working on a campaign or project and the, the results that you were hoping for, they didn't come true. Or there might be an instance where there's a, a plummeting website traffic. Okay. so having the adaptability and flexibility allows you to handle these kind of challenges and obstacles in a more positive way. And it's not just seo, right? It's in any, any job, any way that you working. You're gonna, you're gonna find these, these things, aren't you?

Tazmin (: 07:37

Yeah. And I would say also so many SEOs are freelancers, and now with the way people work these days, you're working across different time zones. So yeah, recently I was working with a company in Dubai, and the only time they could could have that particular piece of training was our six o'clock in the morning. So it meant getting up at five, making sure everything was, was ready. But it's, it's what you have to do for success.

Sarah (: 08:09

Yes. Yes. And that's where yeah, if you happen to accommodate on that sort of scale, that's where like looking after yourself and making sure, okay, yeah. Like I'm starting this early, maybe I finish earlier, have time, have a nap. Yeah. , yeah.

Tazmin (: 08:29

Oh, I definitely had a nap, but the minute it was over

Sarah (: 08:35

Well, yes, I don't, I don't blame you. Okay, so that's so that's what adaptability and flexibility are in a nutshell. So both very important. So I just wanna continue with some of some of the benefits and please do like, chime in Tazmin or if you've got any questions and stuff. But yeah. So benefits of being more flexible and more adaptable is you'll actually be happier and more satisfied not only in your work life, but in your personal life as well, because you'll be able to take change in your stride. So lots of people are fearful of change, but if you can have a mindset or you can be more flexible in it and be adaptable, then obviously that's gonna help you, isn't it? It's also like sticking with the point about change. It's not only about being happier and more satisfied, but you are, you can be versatile, resilient, and responsive, right? So being flexible with your plans, like it's about having a plan B, I suppose, isn't it? And or being adaptable is like, okay, this was the plan, but we, we can adapt it and we can change it to be this. Yeah.

Tazmin (: 09:59

No, no. Get

Sarah (: 10:00

It. I think we've already, like we touched on it before, but you can also adapt to unexpected demands in the workplace. So if there's a sudden surge in work, so for example, like you get an influx of people to coach , for example. Yeah. or there's a problem that you have to deal with or there's an unpredictable event, do you know what I mean? Like, I don't know, the website goes down or your coaching somewhere and there's a flood at the venue. Do you know what I mean? Like, there's a lot of things that can go wrong, so we need to be flexible and adaptable to, to deal with that. Mm-Hmm. you could be more successful because you're not letting obstacles stop you. I like this one. It allows you to approach life, work life and personal life where a can-do attitude. Okay. so you can turn, it's about, so when things go wrong or when you have to change things, it provides an opportunity. Do you know what I mean? Yeah,

Tazmin (: 11:09

Yeah. Sure. We can have the training at six in the morning .

Sarah (: 11:13

Exactly. you can any challenges that come your way, you can challenge them and confront, confront them confidently. You can, if you are in a manager or a leader role it allows you to be a better one, basically. And it also allows you to be a better team member as well. Like, if you can be seen as someone who can take change or challenges or obstacles in your stride, if you're a team member that's, that's gonna be good, isn't it? Because you can support the team and like your employees in the business will see you in a good light. But what'll also help you with is if you are a leader or a manager, your team members are gonna trust you more, right? Yeah. So that's gonna help there. It it helps you to become better at emotional intelligence as well, and you can boost your confidence. So yeah. So those are some of the benefits. I mean, is there any other benefits that you think that I've missed out Tazmin or anything that you, you are thinking, ah,

Tazmin (: 12:28

Well, that I like the confidence one, because imagine you're in a situation, you're at work or whatever, and things don't go your way. The ability to take a step back and say, okay, what do we need to do here to make this happen to problem solve, and to go in and adapt and be flexible and get to the end of that problem with a solution, like you said, it's going to boost your confidence and then the next time that happens, you've already done that once. Mm-Hmm. , so it may be a completely different scenario, but you have done that practice of take a step back, assess what do I need to do to make this work? I've done this before, I can do it again. Yeah.

Sarah (: 13:11

And I arguably you just, you'll get better at these, at these things, right? Like whatever job you are, you are in especially in marketing and SEO and coaching, right? You've got to be prepared for things not going quite right, and you've got to be prepared. That, and being flexible and adaptable allows you to do that.

Tazmin (: 13:36

Yep.

Sarah (: 13:37

Yeah. Any any other thoughts?

Tazmin (: 13:41

So the only caveat I would have is boundary setting. So don't be so flexible that your own priorities are derailed.

Sarah (: 13:52

Yes, yes. And I think so in part, so obviously we're gonna take a break soon. But yeah, I am we are gonna touch on, on that and about boundaries and making sure that your ethics and all of that. I mean, that's a really good caveat because yeah, it's not, it's not so much about being flexible about what you are happy with doing. Like if you've got a certain boundary and you've communicated, then that's fine. I suppose this is more about flexibility and adaptability in the sense of when things go wrong sort of thing or Yes. But yeah, it's a great, great shout and a great caveat and yeah, people should check out the episode with Joe, shouldn't they? About boundaries?

Tazmin (: 14:45

We should. Yeah. That was a strong episode.

Sarah (: 14:48

Great episode, right? Should we take a break then? That'd be great, right? We shall be back.

Tazmin (: 18:39

Back. We are indeed,

Sarah (: 18:41

Right.

Tazmin (: 18:41

This is a really good one. I'm enjoying this, Sarah.

Sarah (: 18:44

Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad. Okay, so before the break, we talked about what being flexible and adaptable was about and the benefits mm-hmm. mm-hmm. . so now what I'd like to talk about is how you can be more adaptable and flexible. And yes, and we did a reminder as again about sticking to your boundaries as well. Yes. Like in the earlier point. Okay. So do you want to know how you can be more flexible and adaptable?

Tazmin (: 19:16

Please do tell me.

Sarah (: 19:18

Okay. So first one, and I love this one, say yes to more opportunities mm-hmm. . Yeah. Yeah. So when opportunities come your way, say yes, obviously don't, don't become a yes person and say yes to everything. Like bear in mind your schedule and how much that you've said yes to. But yeah, we need to, if an opportunity comes our way, we've got time, we've got head space, we've got time in the diary, we should be saying yes.

Tazmin (: 19:51

Yeah.

Sarah (: 19:53

Step outside your comfort zone as well. So doing things where you are taken outta your comfort zone is gonna help you in being more flexible and adaptable at work. So challenge yourself every week or every month. Do something where you are take taken out of your comfort zone and where you don't have your security of what you know, because that's gonna help you, isn't it?

Tazmin (: 20:21

Yeah, absolutely. That's where you'll grow.

Sarah (: 20:23

Yeah. That's where you'll grow. Keep an open mind and encourage people to do the same. So you might be a bit stubborn or there might be certain ways of how you do stuff, right? Yeah. There's always a way that you, you do stuff because that's always the way that you've done it.

Tazmin (: 20:42

Yeah.

Sarah (: 20:43

Sometimes we need an open mind, like someone might suggest, so a team member, an external person, your boss, whatever, someone might suggest an alternative way of doing something or they might do something that's not the way that you are used to Now, just because it's not how you are used to doing something doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing, right? Would you agree, Tazmin?

Tazmin (: 21:09

I would. And you know, different people do things in different ways, though. Some people are very logical and methodical and want to go down the list. Some people are more scatter on and although it's difficult to, to try things, to try to do things a different way, there is huge learning in that because there'll be times when you can't do things methodical. I'm speaking personally, I like a list. If I don't have a list, I'm a bit lost. But recently I've been in situations where I've had to just go in and get on with it. Yeah. And that's a skill in itself,

Sarah (: 21:45

Definitely 100%. 100%. and by having an open mind as well yeah, it, it, and if you can encourage your team members, or if you are a leader or a boss or a manager, if people can see that you've got an open mind and you are not so stubborn in your, you are open to change if it makes sense. And that's only gonna foster a positive culture within that team, isn't it? Mm-Hmm. . Yeah. take opportunities to learn, right? Whatever you can say yes to. Again, check your schedule if you've got time, do it. But learn a new skill. Learn something to develop yourself. Do you know what I mean? Like and you might find that a challenge or an obstacle or something that pops up is actually an opportunity for you to learn a new skill. So take it, take it on board. Yeah.

Tazmin (: 22:44

Yeah.

Sarah (: 22:47

Set goals and stick to them is in a day. That's

Tazmin (: 22:52

A biggie. Yeah, that's a biggie. .

Sarah (: 22:54

So,

Tazmin (: 22:55

Well, we're, we're right in goal setting season, aren't we at

Sarah (: 22:58

The moment? Well, we've done it. We've already, again, we've already done an episode, didn't we? Yeah, yeah. So yeah, check that out. That was the episode before Christmas. But we did one all about setting goal, setting goals. So the idea here is that if you set goals and targets my, like different miles, stones may change in how you get to that goal or target may change, right? But if you've got these goals in mind then if something doesn't go to plan or something isn't quite right, or you need to change something, if you know where your end goal is, you can be like, okay, how else can we get there? If that makes sense. Mm-Hmm. , we can't do this way, this way is being blocked. Yeah. What other ways can we try to get to that end goal?

Tazmin (: 23:49

Yep.

Sarah (: 23:50

Yeah.

Tazmin (: 23:51

I keep it

Sarah (: 23:54

Ask for feedback. Yeah. I

Tazmin (: 23:58

Love, I love feedback.

Sarah (: 23:59

Yeah. So this helps with being flexible and adaptable. Because if you can ask feedback from your peers then that's gonna help you change or mm-hmm. grow or Yeah, like having feedback from your team members, your boss, your manager, like yeah. Like that's, that's only gonna help you be more flexible and adaptable, isn't it?

Tazmin (: 24:26

Absolutely. And you know, sometimes people take it very personally, take the emotion out, hear what they've said and check in. You might not agree with it, that's fine, but at least take that, take hear what they've got to say about it.

Sarah (: 24:42

Exactly. Exactly. Don't give up. Okay? Mm-hmm. . So yeah, like what we need to be doing is like problem solving, get creative. Like if there ne if there's a problem that needs to be solved, like think outside the box, think of all the different ways that you can, you can problem solve plan ahead, make a plan B. So I think this one's important, isn't it? So you might have like a campaign or a project or a goal or a target and you've got a plan to get there. It's always worthwhile having a plan pit B in the pocket. Cuz then that allows you to adapt your plan, doesn't it?

Tazmin (: 25:30

Yeah. And with the don't give up. If you are finding that you are stuck break it down into the smaller steps you possibly can and then go through those steps and say, okay, I know how to do step one and step two and step three, but it's step four that I'm stuck at. And what that does is instead of you thinking, I dunno how to do this, you say to yourself, I dunno how to do step four, which is very different because it gets you

Sarah (: 25:58

Moving. Yeah. Yeah. So rather than it becoming a whole, like the whole project or the whole task is a blocker. Yeah. It's that specific step, right? Yeah.

Tazmin (: 26:09

Yeah. Helps with o on that one.

Sarah (: 26:13

. Yeah. Focus on on keeping a positive attitude. Would you agree? Yeah. Yeah.

Tazmin (: 26:20

That one. Yeah, you can always figure it out.

Sarah (: 26:23

Yeah. So if you, if you, if you've got a glass half full rather than a glass half empty attitude, then I feel like if you're more positive, like if a challenge or an obstacle comes your way, then if you've got more of a, a positive attitude, it helps you be more flexible. Does it like, oh wow, that didn't work, let's try another way. Whereas if you are, if you are more negative, you might think mm-hmm , well what's the point? Anyway, let's stop. Do you know what I mean?

Tazmin (: 26:53

It's mindset. Again, go back the first two episodes we ever recorded mindset, I think we could do an episode on each one of those.

Sarah (: 27:03

Definitely. You definitely could. . so this kind of links back into, you know, your point earlier, Tazmin about boundaries mm-hmm. and not being too flexible and too adaptable. So what you need to be sure of your own and the company's core values. Okay. because then you can steer clear of anything that is legally or ethically dubious to get a job done. So if you know what your core values are, you know what the business's core values are, you know what the do's and don't are. So sometimes it might be someone might come up with a solution, you'd be like, actually that goes against a core value. We can't do that. Let's think of another way. Yeah. so it is important to have those boundaries, core values. I think they're kind of, I know they're a bit different, but in this sense they can be similar, couldn't they? Yeah.

Tazmin (: 28:02

I was reading a book called ETH, and what he talks about is figure out what your primary aim is. So every business will have a primary aim, and that's another set of guidelines that you can delve back into saying, is this in line with the business'? Primary aim? Is this in line with my career's primary aim? Yeah. And if this isn't then, then you know, you can say no. And if it is, then you can say yes.

Sarah (: 28:29

Yeah, definitely. And then other things that we can do is so really work on the relationships that you have in your team. So here, like you, it's all about fostering a positive culture, okay? Mm-Hmm. , because then if you've got a positive culture within your team, then collectively and together when problems pop up, you're more likely gonna be able to work together to get across that obstacle or find a solution. So for example, like if someone is struggling, help them, right? Mm-Hmm. . And the only way you're gonna know if someone is struggling is by having conversations. Check in with people. Be like, if you, if there, if there's like a a month a weekly or daily catchup call with your team and you notice that someone is less smiley or not quite themselves or do you know what I mean?

(: 29:26

Like Yeah. And it, that this isn't just from a manager or a leader level. Like employees should be doing this, like team members should be doing this. Like, reach out to someone, someone and be like, saw that you weren't really yourself today, is everything okay? And yeah, get, get to know your team and support them sort of thing. Yeah. because that's gonna help and empathize as well. So for example, it might be that like you're working on a project and a blocker is a team member who's finding something hard, right? And in your head you are like, well, this is really easy, I could do this. You know what I mean? Like, we sometimes have to step, step into other people's shoes or yeah, empathize. Okay. So it might not be that easy, that job mm-hmm. , like they might be struggling. Do you know what I mean? We need to, we need to be empathetic and Yeah. Just like if you set out a certain way of getting somewhere or doing a task and that needs to be changed because a team member or someone in your team is struggling or they can't do it for legitimate reasons, you have to have empathy, don't you?

Tazmin (: 30:43

And this goes back to your emotional intelligence point earlier. And it could be that normally that person would be able to achieve that task, but there's something not quite right in their own lives. Yeah. They're going through some problems. So again, the adaptability and flexibility is you may think, right, I'm gonna go to work, I'm gonna do my job, I'm gonna put my head down. But be flexible enough to notice and to be present in team meetings and be able to see what's happening rather than just tunnel vision your way through your day.

Sarah (: 31:19

100%. 100%. And then the last one is about working on your own creativity, but also your team's creativity, right? Mm-Hmm. . So if there's a way that you can give yourself the freedom to be more creative or your team members to be more creative, they'll find it. If you are, if you are like practicing this or being more creative, then it's easier to adapt new ways of working or being flexible to find new solutions to problems. They don't.

Tazmin (: 31:59

Yeah. I, okay. Well that's brilliant. I like this one.

Sarah (: 32:02

Yeah. Like, so I mean, creativity is a bit of an unsung hero, isn't it? Like yeah. It's all about finding ways that you can best arm yourself with different skills to allow you to adapt and be flexible on Yeah. On certain things. Like yeah. And decision making is another one, right? So if you can, I think another key thing of flexible and adaptable is, is having the ability to make decisions. Taking data and being like, okay, this is what we are going with and this is why sort of thing. So I think decision making, because we can be like, oh, is this the right way of doing it? Is this the wrong way of doing it? I'm not quite sure. Whereas if we've got more confidence and we can be like, yes, we're trying this, this is a new way forward. I mean, as we, as I've been talking, has it sprung up any ideas in your head of how he can be more flexible, adaptable,

Tazmin (: 33:10

You know? Yes. I, I think in my current life now, having gone from a role in corporate where you are, you've got a certain allow amount of flexibility, but buying large, you know what the job is and you go in and you do it. And now, you know, freelancing, coaching myself, coaching, have, setting up a business, there's all sorts of things that I'm having to learn. And I think also with the way technology is now, way back when there were a few pieces of software that you could choose from, that decision wasn't huge. Now, for example, just making a decision on which platform do I choose to host my courses? There's so many, like, so many anything or should I do this? Should I do that? It does get, it does get overwhelming. So I think it's that balance between being flexible and adaptable, but then making a decision and knowing it doesn't have to be perfect.

Sarah (: 34:09

Things can change. Yeah.

Tazmin (: 34:11

Yeah. Just pick one. Yeah.

Sarah (: 34:13

Yeah. So in your example, pick a software platform that works for you right now you can change it. Yeah. And the same with like picking a new solution of a way out of a problem, right. Try it because things can change with digital, right? . Yeah. Like things, things can't easily change. Absolutely. So yeah. Awesome. Any, no thank you. Any other thoughts? Any other things that I can pull from that magnific, that magnificent, magnificent brain of yours?

Tazmin (: 34:48

I think it is that open-mindedness of everyone to recognize people are different. They have different ways. And if you allow and embrace that difference and that diversity of thought, you're going to go further. And I have that challenged in me every single day because I'm very different to my daughter. We spend a lot of time together. She's very red and just goes for it. And I'm a thinker, should we do it like this? Should we do it like that? And as I've allowed myself to be influenced by her because what was it, there's a phrase that the best way to influence is to be, to allow yourself to be influenced because then, then the other person thinks, oh, I was able to influence them.
