Julie Cross Podcast Show

You are being paid to be there, you choose the be there, so go do your work like you are loving your job and then your job will love you back. I recorded this a couple of years ago and some people got it and some people got offended... but I got to tell you after some recent customer service experiences I stick by it. It is your job... and I am not just caring about your customers when I talk about this, I am caring about YOU! It will not be the habitual and routine employee with a negative and bored attitude that will be promoted, offered new opportunities and celebrated... you deserve to take the best of yourself to work every day so that you may enjoy the rewards that come with that... some of your 'stuff' just has to be left back stage. And as employers and leaders let us make sure we are inspiring our teams to see the big vision of the difference they make in what they do every day.

People are demanding authenticity ... we are all talking about it, so where is it and how do we live it?

Maintaining a sense of humour when life daily takes you to the edge isn't always easy. But it is possible and it is necessary, well necessary if you want to live a happy, joyful life despite the challenges, and I sure do. A story about that has my son living with Autism in a staring role. And yes, I do say that 'P' word!

It really is a gift and a little like a game of pass the parcel. What is the gift you are unwrapping today?

Yes, I know I always find my way back to this message, but when will we get it? And have we really thought about what it truly means to love yourself and the problems it would solve when we did? Come on, listen in, you deserve this one.

Living & loving with Autism: An Introduction to the journey that is like no other. There will be laughter, tears and lessons for all that dare to come on this journey with us.

You may not be famous, you may not go viral on social media but you do forever have an impact on our children, so I applaud and honour you.

Great service is easy to talk about but, it would seem, a lot harder to do and to manage... otherwise surely we would see more examples of great service. Still so many opportunities in business by simply improving our service!

It is not just about the destination but the lessons you get from the journey, so many life lessons come from putting one foot in front of the other. 

It was at a bus stop... a chance encounter that had me 'stop' and be for a moment. Little did I know that in my extending some kindness to a stranger that the gift would actually be for me. We are so anxious to get busy and get to 'work' that so often we forget that every day moments of connection are our 'work'... or work as being human beings!

Life is a ride isn't it? And Autism a journey like no other. This is about a ride on a train and a journey within the connections we can make with each other when we are not looking for opportunities to be offended. Come along, one thing for sure is it is a fun ride!

I can't believe what a challenging year I am having, I mean I just can't believe it, it has been so tough. What did you think you were going to be the only one to miss out!?

Because I believe and I see Angels in feathers... well because I believe I get signs from love from above in all kinds of ways. The Universe is constantly wrapping itself around us and letting us know we are loved. This story will give you goosebumps... and it happened at lunch...

My Three Capes Trek Adventure. When you challenge yourself physically you challenge yourself emotionally. Come along on a journey that was like no other in the mountains climbed and the views enjoyed.

You see some people that seem to effortlessly glide through life, everything looking so together and perfect from the outside. Well I have always admired that and felt a little envious of that... but now I realise it is OK to be a clunker and clunkers are successful too. Yep, I am a clunker not a glider and I am OK about that.

Inspiring messages come from all kinds of people in all kinds of moments. Sometimes you just have to take the first step and say hello.

In a time where every week the news shocks us with another shooting or another terrorist event, how to be keep focussed on love, light and peace?
