#36 Less Noise, More Love for People

Today, I interview Rich Stevens who tended to be the loudest person in the room, always making "noise". He had a big personality. At home, however, he kept to himself and was fairly mellow and quiet. He then realized that in business and in life, being noisy isn't helpful. He had a lot to say, but it was not useful, constructive, or otherwise helpful in any way. So his words were just noise, and they were off-putting. After battling years of depression, he realized that by making a lot of "noise" he felt that he was the problem. He has since learned to balance the different sides of his personality, focusing on quality over quantity. He has a deep love for people and now helps people to gain a better understanding of each other, allowing them to become stronger. _____________ Rich Stevens is a podcaster and motivational speaker. On his podcast Inside the Orange, he talks to people to understand the similarities and differences in people and how we can learn from each other. The idea of Inside the Orange comes from the idea that we think we 'know' people from the outside, but only when we look inside of people and understand them do we know what's really going on. Much like everyone knows what an orange is, but you don't know how good that orange is until you unpeel it... Rich wants to grow his brand and help businesses understand their people better through training and engagement to improve retention of people within the business and to help develop brand ambassadors. Find Rich here: [email protected] http://insidetheorange.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/insidetheorange https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-stevens-0b557993/_____________I'm your podcast host, Dr. Doreen Downing, and I help people find their voice so they can overcome anxiety, be confident, and speak without fear. Get started now on your journey to your authentic voice by downloading my Free 7 Step Guide to Fearless Speaking: https://www.doreen7steps.com.  Support the showI’m Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.
