Insights With Trent Munday

Answer: It feels like you’ve been hit by a bus.   But I think that’s a good thing. Or at least, it’s a sign that your body has started to heal your problem.   In layman’s terms, at least as I understand it, Bowen Therapy focuses on manipulating the fascia and freeing up your body’s communication pathways.   Certainly looks like it did that for me!   #therapies #manipulation #massagetherapy #wellness

It turns out, employees actually have LESS face to face interactions in an Open Plan Office than a traditional office set up.    That’s according to a Harvard study.   As reported by Geoffrey James over at Inc.com   https://lnkd.in/frJJPPJ   #openplan #officesolutions #workenvironment

Could Heineken be making a play for the title of ‘The Wellness Beer’?   They’ve just launched a 0% Alcohol Beer.   But isn’t a Beer, by definition, alcoholic?    #alcohol #wellness #wellnesstrends #wellnessmarketing

Ep. 520 - Trent365! - Petulance or Passion? Show a bit too much attitude or aggression when you’re young and they’ll say you’re Petulant.   That same behaviour when you’re a bit older and more mature is somehow a positive exhibition of your Passion.   #attitude #passionate #behaviour #passion

Digital Wallets or eWallets are making major waves in the payments space. Just talk to the folks over at Visa or MasterCard and ask them if they’re worried about them.  (Hint: They Are!) Maybe it’s time to have your own Digital Wallet for your business? There are companies out there offering white label solutions.  Go ahead. Google it.

Starbucks has famously declared itself to be the Third Place - the place you go between Home and Work. It's not just a place for a coffee and a pastry. It's a place to hang out. I believe that the Hotel Spa of Tomorrow could leverage this concept to rediscover its relevance. The Hotel Spa - The Third Place - the place you go between your Room and the Outside World.

Some will tell you to Hire Slow & Fire Fast.   Others will say you should Hire Fast AND Fire Fast.   I like that idea. Because no matter how good you are at recruiting, there are no guarantees.    So, just get on with it.   As Gary Vaynerchuck says...   Hiring is Guessing. Firing is Knowing.   #recruitment #hiring #firing #employees #jobinterview #peoplemanagement

What’s the actual cost to you of making an introduction? Free!   So why not make it?   I think we tend to be too precious and protective when it comes to making professional introductions.   Remember, there’s a big difference between and introduction and an endorsement.    If you’re endorsing someone, you should absolutely be sure.   #networking #connections #contacts #introductions

Skincare that is personalised precisely to you is obviously where the industry ends up.   A German startup called Skindeep has a new kiosk system that can analyse and then create your skincare in 7 minutes.   So the tech is here.    Which big name brand will be the first to go beyond their moat and roll this out?   #skincare #skincareproducts #technologytrends #beautytrends

We usually expect early adopters of new technology to be the young folks.   But I reckon with Voice, it might just be us old folks that lead the way.   https://lnkd.in/fyzbbWM    #voicefirst #voicetechnology #voiceplatforms #earlyadopters

Air BnB is planning to launch a streaming media service.    Why?    Because they have a Distribution Platform that has 500 million people on it.   How could YOU leverage YOUR base?   #distribution #diversification #platforms

The concept of massage is very much at the core of some cultures. In others, it is frowned upon. A lack of understanding of the cultural and or religious sensitivities around massage specifically and spas in general can lead to embarrassing situations. In today's episode, we will explore some of these issues and how you can avoid potential cultural and religious minefields.             SPONSOR We are thrilled to announce a new sponsor for the show...

Much of our focus on growing our business is, if you really look at, about changing behaviour.   If you don’t come to the spa, we want to change your behaviour and get you to the Spa.   How would our strategies differ if we focussed on Rewarding behaviour, rather than trying to Change it?    #spa #consumerbehaviour #businessgrowth #businessstrategies

There seems to be an International Day for just about everything these days. Whilst not every business can get United Nations backing to claim an official day...that shouldn’t stop you.   #marketing #branding #event  #movement
