Denise Tuke and Erika Moralez-Perez guest on The Business Show on Marlow FM 1st December 2022

On The Business Show on Marlow FM on 1st Dec 22, Erika Moralez-Perez of Iconos Group and Denise Tuke of DT Career Coaching joined me to talk about their work, and the business news. 

To get the show off on a high, I chose Huey Lewis and the News and “The Heart of Rock & Roll” – hear it at https://youtu.be/M7JVlpm0eRs.

I spoke first to Erika about legal firm Iconos Group and about why December is a busy month for the legal business, and what it is that they do for clients that keeps them so busy (as you’ll hear, excluding murder!) – connect with her at https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikamoralezperez/.

Denise then spoke about DT Career Coaching and how coaching differs from advice.  Most of her work is 1-2-1 but she does have some group workshops coming up soon r – see https://www.dtcareercoaching.co.uk/upcoming-events and connect with her at https://www.linkedin.com/in/denise-tuke/.

Taylor Swift's “Everything Has Changed” was her music choice for us because she works with people in just that situation.  Hear it at https://youtu.be/w1oM3kQpXRo.

Her business news story for us to discuss is at https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/nov/24/easyjet-looks-to-over-45s-in-cabin-crew-recruitment-drive - what are the plusses that over 45s offer an employer, and what other sectors should be seeking out these people?

Erika chose Michael Buble (again!) with “Fever” because it mixes her love of Buble and of Elvis.  Listen at https://youtu.be/aiMAh2cLczY.

Selling worn out trainers for a small fortune has to show business acumen – the story I found at https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/nov/25/645-pound-adidas-stan-smith-trainers-fly-off-the-shelves-at-balenciaga - is not about getting away with charging that much, it’s about spotting a need, and meeting that need.

Erika’s first story for us was https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-63586213 - film studios may be needed, but how will the undoubted skills gap be met?

Her other story is https://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/news/business/thrive-founder-sean-reddington-how-7749010 - far be it from me to disagree with the wisdom of engaging a mentor, but Ofcom regs mean that as a presenter I was limited with what I can say on air.  Let me know if you want to talk about mentoring!

I closed the show with a song for the World Cup – “Midnight at the Oasis”, but Maria Muldour – hear it at https://youtu.be/VlrKETxwRvM.
