Priscilla:

Hello everybody and welcome back to the Official BNI Podcast, brought to you by the Networking for Success Channel on YouTube, which features Dr. Ivan Miser and many other networking experts. I am Priscilla Rice, and I am coming to you from Live Oak Recording Studio in Berkeley, California. I am joined on the phone today by the Founder and the Chief Visionary Officer of BNI, Dr. Ivan Misner. Hello, Ivan, how are you and where are you ?

Ivan:

Hi Priscilla. I am at a Transformational Leadership Council meeting in Arizona this week. The Transformational Leadership Council is an organization put together by Jack Canfield, and I always get great content that I can use in BNI at these meetings. I am here for several days. It’s exciting.

Priscilla:

That sounds great. So who do you have on the line today? I know you have a guest.

Ivan:

Yeah, we have a guest. My guest today is Colin Horner. Colin is an almost 10 year member of BNI in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have been to Jo-burg, I think, twice. I love South Africa, and Colin has been a member for 10 years. He has a graphic recording and graphic facilitation [business]. He helps people sell their products and services through visual messages. He calls himself a graphic communicator. He helps people communicate their stories with pictures.

The reason I invited him to be on the podcast today is that he has been giving and giving and giving to me and to BNI with these incredible graphics that he is doing about BNI and the processes that we use, like the GAINS Exchange and VCP. He always has these amazing graphics. I finally said, you know what? I need to give back a little to Colin here. Let’s bring him on the podcast so that we can give exposure to what he is doing [for] many people, particularly as it related to BNI. And for the educational content, we are using the power of one in today’s podcast.

We will have a graphic here so if you are listening to this on your computer, you can see the graphic. If you are listening to this in your car or on a mobile device, take a look at the website so you can see the graphic.

Colin, welcome to BNI Podcast, and talk to us a little bit about the power of one and how you visualize that.

Colin:

Thank you, Ivan, and it is great to join you on this podcast. Just as you say, I have been a member of BNI for 10 years and a very active member- in fact, a Director Consultant for the last three years. My passion is lifelong learning or education. I found a way of communicating educational content related to the BNI model through simple hand drawn pictures. To use one of your Ivan-isms, “Facts tell and stories sell.” So I sell educational content through simple pictures.

Ivan:

And we are going to be talking about the power of one today, which is a concept that has been around a while, but you have put it together visually incredibly well. So you want to go through all of the different ones that are part of the power of one with us in the time we have...
