Her bio speaks for itself.


Much to her surprise, the media has labeled Sandra Dee Robinson as the “Charisma Coach.” After years of working with business owners, experts and celebrities to perfect their presentation and on-camera skills, I guess the title fits!

But, so does: actress, author, TV host, podcast host, international speaker, trainer and dog & horse fanatic. Oh, and add: wife to a renown Hollywood stuntman. (Yup, never a dull moment)

 

As a teen, she left her hometown of Pittsburgh, PA and headed to New York to begin several decades of a successful career in Television. She became established with major roles on Another World, Sunset Beach, Bold and the Beautiful, General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, The Bay and guest starred on many prime time shows and films, like CSI Miami, Criminal Minds and Two and a Half Men… among others.

 

Sandra Dee founded Charisma on Camera Performance Coaching in 2010 and integrated her Horsepowered Personal Leadership Programs and Retreats in 2020. These nature-based trainings pair leaders with horses so that they reach a level of communication and clarity to be the most effective modern leader they can be.

 

She is trainer certified in NLP, Hypnosis, Stage mastery as well as certified in Natural Lifemanship, trained in EAGALA, she is a Blue Ribbon Ambassador, Joyely Coach and is a Certified Success and Soul Business Coach

Her mission is to illuminate the path for leaders to fully express all they are Designed to be.

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to benefit from some of the character-shaping wisdom that Christine has had access to over her lifetime. Cosy up, settle in, open your ears and take the third chair for this fascinating chat about communication over the years.  

CHRISTINE’S GRANNY REVEALS:

  • How a walk is best undertaken at night for the adventure.
  • How to overcome youthful shyness.
  • How to encourage self-reflection and awareness in others to help them solve problems.
  • The essential magic ingredient to a successful happy marriage.
  • The troublesome ‘top dog’ that needs to be tamed to have good communication.
  • How you don’t have to argue about smelly breath.
  • A golden rule that all should live by when communicating.


BEST MOMENTS

“If you think about communication throughout your life. If you think about when you were younger, how would you say…”-Christine. “Shy.”-Granny. “You were shy?”-Christine.

“What would you say were the key skills that you needed to have to be able to do that work?" -Christine. “I suppose just to be a good listener really, first of all. Then to be practical and say, ok, I think this is what we should do.” -Granny

“When people are drunk they don’t actually mean it because they’re just not in the same space you’re in. The wives would come in and they’d blow their top and they’re raging and they want to leave them; ‘Where can I get a good solicitor’ and what should they do? And I’d say ‘Stop. Stop. We’ll go back to the beginning now and think about this.’”-Granny

“Everything you’re saying, it proves to me the reality that we don’t need science, though I enjoy having the backing of scientific evidence to prove all of this stuff.”-Christine

“There’s always one little brat that will have a destructive idea and niggle and niggle at the group. You just have to say to them ‘I know. If you want I’ll talk to you separately after that’s fine but in this group you have to be mindful of other people’s ideas and their feelings.”-Granny

“What?! You’ll put that on a pod? Oh my God!! Christine!”-Granny

She shares some of the lessons he passed on about not only business and communication but life and love in general.

CHRISTINE SHARES:

  • Her memories of her Grandfather.
  • Lifetime lessons learned from experiences from childhood.
  • The secret behind Santa *spoiler alert*.
  • How her Grandfather’s wisdom is one of the reasons why she does the work she does now, bringing different people together.
  • That care, attention and effort will always be noticed and appreciated.


BEST MOMENTS

“The lesson that I learned from this horse and from having the opportunity to be with this horse was patience.”

“Music and laughter were the key essence of Grandad. Well, one of the key essences, I should say. He loved a bit of swing. He and Granny, I believe, were swing champions when they were younger.”

“Grandad taught us how to plant, how to prune, how to grow and how to nurture, with love, that which came from the earth.”

“In 1949 he was the featherweight boxing champion of Ireland. Later he went on to play tennis, becoming a champion in the south of the country.”

“What I learned from Granddad and his work in Cadbury’s were merchandising skills. I knew how to set up displays of Christmas hampers when I worked at delis in my late teens in a way that nobody else was able to do.”

]]> This episode celebrates the life of Christine’s Grandfather, one of her greatest influences and teachers, who died the week of this recording. She shares some of the lessons he passed on about not only business and communication but life and love in general.

CHRISTINE SHARES:

  • Her memories of her Grandfather.
  • Lifetime lessons learned from experiences from childhood.
  • The secret behind Santa *spoiler alert*.
  • How her Grandfather’s wisdom is one of the reasons why she does the work she does now, bringing different people together.
  • That care, attention and effort will always be noticed and appreciated.


BEST MOMENTS

“The lesson that I learned from this horse and from having the opportunity to be with this horse was patience.”

“Music and laughter were the key essence of Grandad. Well, one of the key essences, I should say. He loved a bit of swing. He and Granny, I believe, were swing champions when they were younger.”

“Grandad taught us how to plant, how to prune, how to grow and how to nurture, with love, that which came from the earth.”

“In 1949 he was the featherweight boxing champion of Ireland. Later he went on to play tennis, becoming a champion in the south of the country.”

“What I learned from Granddad and his work in Cadbury’s were merchandising skills. I knew how to set up displays of Christmas hampers when I worked at delis in my late teens in a way that nobody else was able to do.”

Christine explains how to request clarification in a presentation, meeting or workplace setting without worrying about appearing stupid or incompetent, irritating your speaker or unnecessary procrastination. 


CHRISTINE SHARES:

  • The reasons why clarification is so important in the workplace.
  • The unseen advantages gained from confident clarification.
  • Why so many people, possibly even you, are afraid to ask for clarification.
  • Priceless tips for clarifying with confidence.
  • Secret methods to ask for clarification while simultaneously building your relationship and avoiding irritation or embarrassment.  


BEST MOMENTS:

“Clarifying confidently is an essential skill. It can help you effectively communicate and avoid misunderstandings.” 

“It can create psychological safety for newer or less experienced employees in the organisation.”

“The brain’s fear response can result in individuals fearing judgement or criticism when seeking clarification.”

“Use clear, concise and specific language. When you need clarification, the more precise and concise you can be, the easier it is for a person to understand what you need from them.”

“The key thing to remember is that clarifying is not a sign of weakness or incompetence; it’s a sign of commitment to clear communication, to shared understanding, to not wasting time, and to being effective in your work.”

Christine offers you some answers that will prepare you for that gut-tightening moment during a presentation when you feel you are being challenged, perhaps attacked and maybe even put off your stride. 


CHRISTINE REVEALS

  • How identifying a difficult question can be all about perception.
  • The reasons why people ask difficult questions.
  • The connection between difficult questions and your mindset.
  • 5 ways to effectively manage difficult questions. 
  • The Law of Optimal Performance.


BEST MOMENTS

“Somebody’s fired a question at you, you weren’t ready for it, it interrupted you in the middle of speaking, you’re just completely and utterly put out. “How dare they!”. Well what was the reason they might have asked?”  

“In comparison to needing clarification, a person may ask deeper, more pointed questions because they want to gain more understanding and explore more deeply the topic that is being discussed.”

“Before the presentation, with a fixed mindset, we might say to ourselves “Am I able to do this? I don’t have the same level of expertise.” Whereas with a growth mindset, we might say “I’m not sure I can do this, but I’m going to do it and I can’t learn if I don’t try.”’

“Different people hear, see, perceive the world in different ways. Different brains have different capacities to hear, perceive and see the world.”

“The most important part of presentation preparation is speaking to your audience’s objective, not to yours.”

“In many cultures, pausing indicates a lack of knowledge. Speakers often fear being judged negatively for pausing, but pausing confidently creates authority.”

“When we stop forcing the brain to think about a thing we reduce the pressure on the brain and Bop! We remember.”

Often overlooked, tasks such as introducing speakers, giving votes of thanks, and emceeing events are key responsibilities many professionals are delegated. Using examples, Christine explains how to approach these tasks with the right tone, brevity and knowledge to avoid losing the audience before the speech has even begun.    

 

CHRISTINE REVEALS:

  • That introductions are not about making your own “mini speech”. Your goal is to create interest. 
  • A secret reading technique inexperienced emcees can use with cue cards.
  • The importance of researching the guest speaker in advance.
  • How to stimulate interest, before giving away the speaker's identity. 
  • A useful mnemonic for structuring an introduction: Welcome. Introduce the title. Intrigue. Notches (achievements) and finally Speaker - Always aim for the "WIINS".


BEST MOMENTS


“Many people who decide to work on their public speaking or presentation skills often only focus on, to be quite frank, themselves.”

“It’s important that you don’t overshadow the speaker in any way.”

“When introducing a speaker, it’s important not to be a slave to the notes. You want the delivery to sound spontaneous, not stilted or robotic.”

"Many of you will remember the 2018 communication scandal which resulted in Starbucks closing 8,000 stores to retrain 175,000 employees."

“This example is somewhat of a formal introduction, but there is still a hint of humour and ease to its presentation. It’s made to target the audience member who is not familiar with the speaker.”

“The degree of formality will change greatly depending on the tone of the event, of course. Make sure you check this in advance.”

The kinds of methods used depend on the situation, the culture, the person, the relationship, and the listener. Find out how to get your audience fully engaged from the outset of your presentation with consideration for the ambience of the room, first impressions, a powerful opening, and the emotional buy-in of your listeners.


CHRISTINE REVEALS

  • How the COVID lockdown has decreased people’s confidence in speaking to a live and present audience. 
  • That first impressions matter and you should consider the room, background, and ambience before you begin.
  • The importance of understanding your audience. 
  • That your first two lines are of critical importance.
  • The secret behind ‘hooks’ and how to use them to gain emotional buy-in.
  • The importance of being mindful of cultural references and jokes.
  • That creating relevance of the topic to your listeners is paramount.
  • That timetabling time for questions can deal with challenging hecklers.


BEST MOMENTS

“One of the most important aspects of a talk or a presentation is its opening. How you open makes all the difference, not only to your audience, but to your own confidence and speaking success.”

“When I was an English teacher I used to put scented bags of essential oils on the radiators before my students came to class to help them feel calm.”

“In with the hook, always backup your data, it’s very important, especially if you want to be credible to an audience.”

“Conviction in your voice, belief in your content and capacity to deliver it, and strategic phraseology cast a spell that commands attention. Respect them, sometimes playfully, but with absolute clarity.”

Her guidance covers all stages of the process, and she uses real-world examples to make it easy to apply. Listen in to learn how to make your next executive presentation a success.


CHRISTINE REVEALS:

  • Generally, leave the jokes to the comedians.
  • When preparing a presentation, look out, not in. Present for your audience and resist the temptation to showcase yourself.
  • Use social media to gain insight into who the key members of your audience are. Include a few comments in your presentation that connect with their world view.
  • You are presenting to powerful people, be ready to hand the power back to them when you need to.
  • Manage your blinks. The more you blink the less you are believed.
  • Answer the executives’ questions and show them that you have the solution to their problems.
  • If someone tries to undermine you during the presentation, rise above it.


BEST MOMENTS:

“One of the golden rules in presentation, especially across cultures and countries, is not to start with a joke.”

“C-level executives see the answer long before anybody else does. Prepare to be interrupted.”

“Would you believe your argument or your proposal? Executives value conviction.”

“In a second, an executive will spot a number that´s off, logical errors, content errors. Get an expert eagle eye to review your content.”

She defines Speaking Power, giving examples of how failing to understand stress techniques when speaking can result in a speaker's message being misunderstood or not being heard at all.


CHRISTINE REVEALS:

  • Power is also called ‘Tone Quality’ and is often referred to as ‘Stress’ by English language teachers.
  • How we weaken and strengthen sounds in English and link certain word combinations impacts how well an audience can understand what we say.
  • When speaking too softly, listeners can lose confidence in the speaker, or when too loud, a speaker can frustrate or alienate the audience.
  • A special technique the best orators use to take their audience on a journey as they speak.
  • How mastery of these techniques can provide you with the engagement you desire when presenting or communicating in English.

*NOTE: The Phenomenal Presenters Platform Christine mentions is no longer available.


BEST MOMENTS

“A well-used punch of power vibrated within the resonators offers a delightful quality to a speaker’s overall tone.”

“Variability is key. Too soft, an audience may lose trust. Too loud and a speaker can appear overly dominant or emotional and push people away.”

“Languages use stress differently. Some apply the same degree of power to every syllable. Some apply the same degree of duration to every syllable, the same pace. Spanish and French are examples of that.”

“One of the most memorable speeches ever given and still one of the most famous speeches today draws on both of these techniques, three or more, the powerful rule of three when speaking, and on the building to a climax. Which speech, you ask? Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream."

“It’s particularly important to understand this aspect of English, that we weaken and strengthen sounds, that we link certain sounds together.”

Take your first steps to become bulls**t resistant.


CHRISTINE REVEALS:

  • How advertising takes advantage of your vulnerabilities to sell to you.
  • How our formative years shape us with lessons to be embraced or unlearned to return to the confidence levels we are all born with.
  • How confidence is not only dictated by knowledge of the subject but by the perceived difficulty of the task at hand.
  • An invaluable piece of advice to help you nurture confidence.
  • How to sound confident in professional situations, even if you don’t feel like it inside.


BEST MOMENTS

“People are used to being made to feel afraid then convinced the fearmonger has the solution. It’s happened for decades, more than decades.”

“As we grow and develop in playgroups and preschool and before it, and throughout our lives, so too does our confidence and trust.” 

“In approximately 50% of respondents, confidence was also reflected by the perceived uncertainty of the task at hand.”

 “Confidence isn’t something we can simply change overnight. It’s as layered as the therapist's onion representing our emotions and our experience.”

“I am confident enough in my own learning and experience to share what I am sharing today. It’s helped me, my family members and my clients. I don’t need anyone else to validate its truth.”

From insults to the most polite of sayings, listen in to get acquainted with some of the things you might hear during an Irish conversation.


CHRISTINE & BLAITHIN REVEAL:

  • The craic at an Irish seisiún is the best in the world!
  • The connection between an eejit and a ham child.
  • “Deadly!” is not necessarily a warning of danger.
  • “Giving out stink” does not denote bad hygiene.
  • What it means when the Irish say, "I don't be doing something."


BEST MOMENTS

“There’s something that is universal in Ireland...where the seisiún (session) is having drinks, talking *****, singing, maybe a little bit of dancing and your 'sessioner' would be the person who is good at partying.” -Blaithin


“When you know someone you know how far you can push. You can slag them off or say

things about them that won’t actually hurt them, it just creates a bit of craic.” -Christine


“There’s things that I didn’t even realise were Irish-English until I left the country.” -Blaithin


“A "yoke" is a special word in Ireland - originally the thing used to stuff the thatch into thatched houses years ago, it's now taken on a whole new meaning!” -Christine

]]> Christine and Instagram's @teacherblo, AKA Bláithín, share their favourite Irish phrases, alongside some submissions from their followers, in a lively Irish-accented discussion. From insults to the most polite of sayings, listen in to get acquainted with some of the things you might hear during an Irish conversation.


CHRISTINE & BLAITHIN REVEAL:

  • The craic at an Irish seisiún is the best in the world!
  • The connection between an eejit and a ham child.
  • “Deadly!” is not necessarily a warning of danger.
  • “Giving out stink” does not denote bad hygiene.
  • What it means when the Irish say, "I don't be doing something."


BEST MOMENTS

“There’s something that is universal in Ireland...where the seisiún (session) is having drinks, talking *****, singing, maybe a little bit of dancing and your 'sessioner' would be the person who is good at partying.” -Blaithin


“When you know someone you know how far you can push. You can slag them off or say

things about them that won’t actually hurt them, it just creates a bit of craic.” -Christine


“There’s things that I didn’t even realise were Irish-English until I left the country.” -Blaithin


“A "yoke" is a special word in Ireland - originally the thing used to stuff the thatch into thatched houses years ago, it's now taken on a whole new meaning!” -Christine


“It’s only when you have these interactions with people that aren’t Irish that you realise that it doesn’t actually make a lot of sense, the way we interact with each other, but we

understand.” -Blaithin

]]> E06: The History of English in Ireland E06: The History of English in Ireland Tue, 21 Mar 2023 00:06:00 GMT 23:09 c0197c1d-a4fe-49f7-a7ee-afcb00d975e9 false https://omny.fm/shows/connected-communication/native-speakerism-don-t-call-me-a-native-english-s 65c21987a98dfd0017a3f55f 65c2197e94623a0016fe0f0d e06-the-history-of-english-in-ireland full 1 6 Christine considers the history of English in Ireland, how the Irish have ended up speaking better English than the English themselves, and how the connotation of the term ‘native English speaker’ has resulted in unfair bias against communicators who are often multilingual and speak English as a third or fourth language. 


KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • English first came to Ireland in the 12th century. Gaeilge, or ‘Irish’, is the true ‘native’ language of Ireland. 
  • When the Tudor monarchs conquered Ireland in the 16th century, English was formally introduced.  
  • Hiberno English represents the marriage of two distinct languages, Gaeilge and English.
  • So-called ‘native’ speakers do not always know more, understand more, or have the capacity to communicate more proficiently across cultures than so-called ‘non-native’ speakers.
  • ‘Non-native’ labelling often results in unnecessary bias and damage to the confidence of the bi or multilingual English speaker.  


BEST MOMENTS 

‘The English language was, let’s use the term, ‘brought', to Ireland by the British as it was to every other country in the world which now calls it their own.’

‘Our leaders allowed the Irish language to be reduced to second language status, finding opportunity and benefit in having a population that used English.’  

‘Ah, the lessons we learn about our own and others’ perceptions! There was a great YouTube short done about a Chinese lad who planned to come to Ireland and decided to learn the native language, but bless him, he learned Irish and then when he got here he discovered that nobody spoke it.’

‘It is time to stop using terms like ‘native’ and ‘non-native’ when referring to speakers of languages’; to stop patronising multilingual employees by saying things like “oh, you pronounced that perfectly”, or worse, stopping them mid-presentation and saying, “could you speak more clearly, I can’t understand your accent.”

Where was Patrick really from? Was he really as saintly as the archives would have us believe? Did he really drive out the snakes and "free" Ireland, or would we have been better off without him?
