22.01.2022 Asking for feedback can feel uncomfortable, but it’s an essential part of career development. As human beings, we’re naturally curious and desire to have our qu...estions answered. But there’s one area of questioning that overwhelms most of us with anxiety: asking for feedback. It’s not an easy or natural task, asking for someone’s opinion or evaluation of you and your work, but it’s an essential part of career development. Getting feedback from others is critical to my success. Your feedback is important. https://www.superuncle.com.au http://www.superuncle.com.au/PresentationBooklet.pdf http://www.superuncle.com.au/testimonials/ https://www.superuncle.com.au/character-references/

21.01.2022 Why Bad Reviews Are Good For Business It may sound ridiculous, but negative reviews are not always a bad thing You must be thinking, Damian’s finally lost it... of course bad reviews are bad for business! Well, you might be only half right Bad reviews help my business in two important ways. The first one is simple: bad reviews give me an outside perspective. If no one ever complained about my products or services, I’d never know what to improve! A negative review can be just the push I need whatever the bad review highlights, I know I’ve got something to work on. After all, nobody’s perfect, and if all I ever see are glowing reviews and praise, I might lose touch with constantly improving my business Now, the second reason is a little more complicated but believe me, it makes perfect sense. In some ways, bad reviews actually make my company more desirable and believable! It sounds crazy at first, but think about it Internet users are awfully skeptical, and a site full of five-star reviews and nothing but good things to say is immediately suspect A few bad reviews among the good actually adds a human element to my business a bad review of my company is a little piece of honesty and we all know what honesty leads to: trust. Shoppers are all too familiar with companies that stack review sites with great ratings, who bury every negative comment and pretend like everything is always smooth sailing And they see right through it. With a mix of good and bad reviews from real customers, people researching my company can get a real sense of what it’s like to do business with me. A single bad review isn’t going to turn them off in fact, it will probably make them more curious to find others that shared the bad experience, or to look at other reviews that counter the negative ones. A few bad reviews in the mix are simply more realistic and that means my company is easier to identify with and with it, easier to trust. Beyond the point of being realistic to customers and prospects, consider this: Not everyone shares expectations, so a bad experience for one customer could be exactly what another customer is looking for A short customer experience might feel like neglect to one customer, but be exactly the in and out transaction someone else is interested in It’s all based on opinion and subjective experience a bad review is not the end of the world. While I strive for continuous improvement, instead of perfection. I can’t expect to please every person at every moment Bad reviews are going to happen, so I might as well learn from them and let my customers and prospects learn from them too. Hi Damian, You asked if we would provide you with a letter of support for your proposed venture into the area of child-minding. I did give you an indication that I would do so ... but, on reflection, I have come to the conclusion that there would be a distinct absence of sincerity on my part if I were to provide you with such a letter. There are a couple of reasons for reaching these conclusions.... (i) I am quite concerned that you would be entering a field of endeavour that would be fraught with pit-falls and hazards associated with dealing with children. We are all aware of the massive volume of accusations that have been put forward in recent years in the matter of adults associating themselves with children. So often accusations are made against adults..... the accusations inevitably become matters of public alarm. Police become involved and very often the target adult becomes the victim, which seems to be the sole objective of that amorphous body of faceless people known collectively as the ‘Me Too..’ movement. The penalties for any perceived breach of new child-minding principles are necessarily pitched to reflect the newly established levels of indignation and public outrage (ii) The other matter of concern would be that you may need a measure of formalised training to give some authenticity to your proposed activities. Our ‘experience’ of your child-rearing skills were limited to a few occasions when you visited us to assist with our computer difficulties and you had your Sister’s kids in tow. The kids seemed to have an expectation that a full run of the house would be available to them along with light snacks and occasional gentle supervision until the computer work was completed. So, Damian, I will decline to provide you with a letter of support for the type of activity that you are proposing. Get a better activity to pursue .... you’ve got excellent computer skills and no doubt other attributes that could be put to use. Looking after other peoples kids (outside of your own family) would seem to be a perilous way to go forward for a young man with recognisable abilities. Regards Mike Howieson.

16.01.2022 Today I caught up with a lovely family for a meet and greet for future Super Uncle work. I met Angie Powell through a networking group that I’ve been a member o...f since April. The groups meet on different days, times and locations all over Perth and recently started up in Bunbury and Busselton too. Angie’s business is called Angie Powell - Social 4 Biz. Angie helps Perth small businesses achieve authentic social media branding by providing simple, fun and stress-free training.

12.01.2022 The Manny: A Rare Breed Call us what you will: Male nanny, manny, man nanny, or remove the gender connotation and just call us nannies. Regardless of the name, ...we are here and we’re here to stay.How about we focus on the people behind the title? Who we are, and where we’re going.It is my intention that before the end of my lifetime, much like the word nurse, we can drop associating gender when we think of a nanny. Remember when the word nurse triggered immediate assumptions of a female caring for patients? I’d bet that these days people are not as quick to assume. Flight attendants, receptionists, assistants, teachers, housekeepers it’s almost endless and these professions have rather normalized both men and women in these roles. Although I believe that it would better if these industries truly balanced out the ratio of men and women employed we’re all equal, right?The manny is a rare breed. With men accounting for a minuscule 5-10% of all nannies. The knee-jerk reaction to understanding this imbalance may be that, a female is better suited to caring for children. I think this belief stems from the assumption that males don’t possess the softness and empathy that a woman would have in a caregiver role. Because women are largely the decision-makers in hiring caregivers for their kids, they are looking for someone who can offer mom qualities while they are not available to care for their children. A male nanny can 100% offer those qualities! It’s not a male or female thing, just human. Unfortunately, sometimes that innate human tenderness is socialized out of us, and not hiring male nannies with the assumption that they are not natural caregivers is just one more thing that perpetuates this.Male nannies that are very good at what they do are held in high regard, and often employed in affluent communities that are rich in education, where parents have the resources and confidence to go against the cultural grain.As a manny of many years, I am constantly questioned about my career choice I have several female acquaintances in my line of work and I can almost certainly say that they aren’t questioned nearly as much, if at all. In any case, let’s skip the basics and get down to why many parents decide to employ a manny.A positive and Engaged Male Role ModelSounds obvious, right? The child has a father that likely ticks this box, correct? Maybe, but perhaps not. Even in homes where the father is present, research shows that the average father spends less than 10 minutes a day one-on-one with his child. Certainly not placing any blame here since this is likely on account of the fact that he works a full-time job and has a laundry list of to-do items when said job is finished! The point is, that during the other 1,430 minutes of the day, children spend most of their time in school and at home being watched over, educated, and influenced by women (remember, this is on average, not factual!). Incorporating more balanced time with female & male figures will provide more balanced and diverse development in a child’s life.Two Words: Rough HouseIs that one word or two? In any case, there’s no doubt that men can encourage more physicality when around a group of kids. This kind of play is essential for kids boys & girls! And even better when we can teach children how they can have fun, be their rambunctious selves even with adults, in a safe environment.We Have Something to ProveMannies are the minority and we are well aware! Do you think it’s easy to compete with Mary Poppins? Frauline Maria? Or Julie Andrews herself while I’m at it?We exist in this middle ground role that’s not widely recognized yet. The work we do is paramount; enormously important!This is just a brief snapshot of what I feel a male can bring to the caregiving table, and speaking of tables, let’s not forget that just because a manny is a guy, he doesn’t understand how to keep a house clean, pick up after himself or successfully cook for 3 children while putting a load in. This is 2019 people! See more

08.01.2022 The Importance of Referral Marketing Referral marketing is all about using my best resources my customers, clients, friends and family to help me spread the... word about my services. Why are referrals important for my business? Because creating ‘Raving Fans’ is vital to the ongoing success of my business instead of always having to chase after that new client. As you may know already, human beings are social creatures and talk about their daily affairs with their colleagues, families, and friends. You discuss everyday life. Success leaves a trail. Let the people to whom I am selling to, sell for me. Social media is a great way to easily spread the word about the services I offer because so many people share their thoughts about products and services and even share the products and services they love throughout social media. Trust goes a long way when it comes to convincing someone to buy something. If we don’t trust someone, we aren’t going to listen to them. Most people prefer to do business with someone they know, or know of. This is why getting referrals is part of my sales strategy. The referrals I obtain might only get me to the first stage of the sales process, such as securing a meeting, but that can be critically important. I find the potential client has a certain level of comfort in speaking to me because I am not a complete stranger. Of course, I still have a long way to go to establish trust, show that I can deliver what they need, and close the sale. The early stages of the sales process are much easier, however, if I am introduced personally to the potential client. http://www.superuncle.com.au/PresentationBooklet.pdf
