RADIO INTERVIEW TOPICS

RADIO TOPIC NUMBER ONE - MAKING OR BREAKING HABITS

Why Haven’t You Been Able to Break That Bad Habit?

This Expert Helps You Do It in Only 29 Days

Everybody’s got a bad habit they’d like to break. Maybe you’ve tried to quit smoking using a nicotine patch or electronic cigarettes without success. Maybe you want to lose weight and you’ve had no luck with diet after diet. How about nail biting, overspending or even knuckle cracking? Whatever it is, for some reason you just can’t stop, and willpower has nothing to do with it.

Life coach Richard Fast has devoted 20 years to the research and development of his program, and believe it or not, in only twenty-nine days you’ll start to see permanent results. During the show you’ll discover how to:

Develop a new awareness of your triggers and causes of your bad habit, putting you in control of your behavior.
Effortlessly create good habits that will stick with you for a lifetime as you replace old habits you want to jettison.
Monitor your progress to make sure your bad habit isn’t creeping back up on you.

RADIO TOPIC NUMBER TWO - ACHIEVING FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck

3 Things You Must Do to Get Out of Debt and Achieve Financial Freedom

Do you recall how you were doing financially this time last year? Perhaps your finances were out of control and you thought to yourself “I’ve got to make some changes and turn things around.” Well, here you are one year later. Have you made any of those changes or are you in the same predicament you were last year (or even worse off)? According to life coach Richard Fast, you may be battling against your biggest opponent to financial independence ... yourself.

Richard will explain how, regardless of your present situation, in just twenty-nine days you can make lasting changes that will revolutionize the way you think about money and help you accumulate wealth. He’ll discuss:

How to develop a new “money consciousness” in order to attain and retain financial independence.
How to overcome financial apathy. Stop wishing and start taking action!
How to understand why you’re in your current financial position. Only then will you be able to make the permanent changes that will lead to creating wealth.

RADIO TOPIC NUMBER THREE - DISCOVER THE EXTRAORDINARY POWER OF "EFFECTIVE" LISTENING AND COMMUNICATION

Is Instant Communication Destroying Your Most Valued Relationships?

Are we in danger of losing our humanity?

Studies have consistently shown that our failing attempts at mulit-tasking are increasing while our attention span and patience is shrinking. Humankind's greatest achievement is our ability to communicate. We are the only animals capable of communicating with our own kind and yet we may be in danger of forfeiting our greatest gift.

Are sound bites, Twittering, texting, and messaging reducing our level of communication to mere signals? Are we slowly losing our ability to express ourselves and to communicate at a deeper level?

Almost everyone will agree that poor listening skills are a rampant problem ... however we all think the problem lies with everyone else – after all, we hear what we hear ... or do we?

As Peter Drucker said; "The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said."

Richard will explain how we are losing our greatest gift and discuss how modern technology and instant communication may be destroying our ability to communicate. He will also show you how you can achieve the rare and valued skill of effective listening in just twenty-nine days and how it will transform your relationships at home and in the workplace. He’ll discuss:

How most of us mistake hearing for listening and how, with a little practice, we can begin to hear the meaning and the message rather than just the words alone.
How effective listening can make you the most trusted, valued and appreciated person in the room ... when we have a problem we seldom go to the person who tells us what to do ... we go to the rare person who will actually listen.
How developing your listening skills will enable you to draw out the true thoughts and feelings of your spouse, children or customers.
