Summary

Todays guest on Join Up Dots has been using the power of the spoken word for over three decades For over 30 years, corporate leaders, actors, sales teams, and professionals in all areas of the marketplace have relied on her training to assist them with reaching their goals of speaking more powerfully, selling with finesse, and leading with inspiration. But this isn't a lady who has simply come through the corporate route, standing in front of bored directors in the boardrooms of the world. No, this is a veteran performer of film, television and theatre, who has trod the boards, appeared in hit shows, and movies too. But it seems to me that a key moment in her life wasn't whilst she was in the spotlight, as such but instead when being hired by a corporation over 25 years ago The hiring guy looked at her resume and said to her "Leave out the words 'acting techniques.' We don't act here," To which she replied, "Oh, I beg to differ. You act every day. All business people have a role to play and the key to success lies in their performance." And, by "acting" I don't mean faking, pretending or imitating. I DO mean, delivering a message or script or any communication with authenticity, passion, energy and animation" Wow, that was a ballsy response to someone wanting be hired. So is that a clear indication of what you get from this lady, or was this another example of acting and delivering a message? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Laurie Burton

0:00.0	When we're young we have an amazing positive outlook about how great life is going to be
0:05.0	but somewhere along the line we forget to dream and end up settling.
0:09.0	Join UpDots features amazing people who refuse to give up and chose to go after their dreams.
0:15.0	This is your blueprint for greatness.
0:18.0	So here's your host, live from the back of his garden in the UK, David Rall.
0:22.8	Yes, hello everybody.
0:27.8	Yes, it's a 23rd of December.
0:29.8	So you've only got a couple of days until a big fat man comes down your chimney and drinks your beer and leaves your presents and all that kind of stuff.
0:36.2	So you really got sort of crack on. I don't think Amazon will deliver this far near the big day.
0:40.4	But it's a lady today who's already up to her neck in wrapping paper because it's her
0:45.2	birthday as well. She gets them both in about three days. A bit of a drawback on that one but it's an
0:50.1	absolute delight to have her on the show because we almost recorded a few weeks ago and she was so ill and coughing and spluttering
0:56.7	Unlike the tough man I normally am I allowed her off and I said you go and get yourself well and she wrapped herself up and she's come back good and strong
1:05.0	Hopefully she is because she is an amazing lady who has pushed herself to achieve true greatness in her life.
1:10.1	Yes, I've never seen this but I bet bet many of you will have had this question appear on trivial
1:14.5	pursuit at one time or another.
1:16.8	Who was the first woman to row three oceans, the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian single-handedly? Well today's guest is the answer that you'll be
1:24.6	looking for holding four world records for ocean rowing including first woman to
1:28.8	row three oceans whilst rowing over 15,000 miles taken around 5 million awestroaks and spent cumulatively
1:36.4	over 500 days of her life at sea in a 23 foot rowboat. She uses her ocean rowing adventures to inspire action on the top
1:44.8	environmental challenges facing the world today. But the interesting thing to
1:48.8	me is that she wasn't an obvious choice or it doesn't seem to be to be awarded as an adventure of the year in 2010.
