  • The Art of Intentional Listening: Building Deeper Connections in Business
    2025/06/05
    In this compelling June episode of "Pass the Mic," Tiffany Ball dives deep into the art of intentional listening as the cornerstone of meaningful business connections. Through personal stories from relationship therapy and her childhood as a military brat who never felt like she belonged, Tiffany reveals why making others feel seen is the secret to building lasting professional relationships. She shares the pivotal moment when a roofing company owner introduced her not because she remembered what Tiffany did, but because she remembered who Tiffany was as a person. This episode breaks down the difference between listening to respond versus listening to understand, introduces the "quiz method" for better listening, and explores why our instinct to relate and one-up actually sabotages connection. Tiffany's vulnerable sharing about growing up as the middle child of five in an impoverished military family illuminates the core belief driving her work: ensuring no one feels alone or like they don't belong. About Tiffany Ball: Tiffany Ball is the founder of Grow Networking, a community focused on creating spaces where people feel comfortable, welcome, and truly seen. Growing up as a military brat and the middle child of five in an impoverished family, Tiffany moved every two years and learned to be a "chameleon" to fit in, though she never truly felt like she belonged anywhere. This childhood experience of feeling alone and disconnected drives her mission to ensure others never feel the same way. Through her work, Tiffany combines lessons learned from relationship therapy, personal development, and years of networking experience to help people build authentic connections that go beyond surface-level business transactions. She believes that bringing humanity back into business interactions is key to both professional success and personal fulfillment. Key Topics Discussed: The Power of Being Remembered as a Person: How being known for who you are, not just what you do, leads to better referrals and connectionsIntentional Listening Defined: Listening for context clues about who someone is as a person, not just waiting for your turn to talkThe Quiz Method: Treating conversations like you'll be tested on the content to improve your listening skillsListening to Understand vs. Listening to Respond: Why most people listen only to formulate their next responseThe One-Up Trap: How our instinct to relate by sharing our own experiences actually turns conversations back to ourselvesContext Clues and Follow-Up Questions: Learning to pick up on what excites people and asking deeper questions about their passionsMaking People Feel Seen: The profound impact of acknowledging someone's efforts and authentic selfMilitary Brat Background: How constant moving and never feeling like she belonged shaped Tiffany's approach to connectionThe Chameleon Effect: Learning to adapt to fit in versus being authentic and helping others be authenticCore Beliefs Driving Business: How childhood experiences of feeling alone motivate her work in creating inclusive spaces Powerful Quotes from the Episode "It's not about what you do more than it is how you do it and how people feel when they're in your presence." "Intentional listening... means that while they're talking, you are searching for context clues into who they are as a person." "Act like you are going to have a quiz about what it is they're saying at the end of it." "The problem I find that some people do... is when we're in conversation, what we want to do is we want to relate to the person... When in actuality, what we're doing is turning it back on us." "They're going to remember how you made them feel... when you show interest... they're going to want to be reciprocal." "I want to be seen because I feel that's who I am as a person. And anytime somebody can let me know and acknowledge that they see the effort that I'm putting into being this human being... I am so appreciative." "I never felt like I fit in. I never felt like I belonged anywhere... I don't ever want anybody to feel that way, whether it be in business or in relationships or whatever it is." "I think that a lot of times in business professional environments, we're lacking in that... we're so sidetracked by the hustle and the business and the money and the sale and the marketing that we forget to actually dig deep and connect." Loved this episode? Tiffany's insights about intentional listening could transform how you approach every business conversation. Remember: the goal isn't to be the most interesting person in the room—it's to be the most interested. Next episode preview: What NOT to do in networking, including the dreaded "hostage takers."

  • Welcome to June: Tiffany Ball's Service-First Approach to Networking
    2025/06/04
    In this introductory episode for June's "Pass the Mic" takeover, Tiffany Ball welcomes listeners into her world of authentic, relationship-based networking. Drawing from her 20-year career managing Hilton and Marriott hotels across the United States, Tiffany shares how she learned to "people for a living" and discovered her gift for networking while working for someone else's business. Frustrated by the transactional nature of most networking groups where people felt like numbers rather than humans, she founded Grow Networking to create a space where connections are intentional, opportunities are meaningful, and everyone's presence matters. Tiffany sets expectations for her month of hosting, promising vulnerability, honesty, and yes, some F-bombs, while introducing her core philosophy that the journey from A to B should feel good, even if the destination (making money) is the same for everyone. Tiffany Ball is an entrepreneur and founder of Grow Networking, bringing two decades of hospitality management experience to the world of authentic business relationships. Having managed Hilton and Marriott hotels across the United States, she developed expertise in "peopling for a living" - understanding how to make relationships, manage teams, and lead through service. Her transition into networking began when working for someone else's business, where she discovered her natural talent for connection-building. Frustrated by transactional networking environments that made people feel like numbers or industries rather than humans, Tiffany created Grow Networking as a community focused on vulnerability, humility, honesty, and kindness as the foundations of business relationships. She proudly embraces being "a mess" and believes in sharing authenticity over perfection, using service-minded approaches to make the business journey feel good while still achieving financial success. Key Topics Discussed: Hospitality Career Foundation: How 20 years of managing hotels taught essential people skills and relationship managementDiscovery of Networking Talent: Realizing her gift for networking while working for someone else's businessProblems with Traditional Networking: Why most networking groups feel transactional and competitive rather than collaborativeService-First Philosophy: Leading with "How can I show up for you?" before making any business asksThe Journey vs. Destination Concept: Why the path from A to B should feel good, even if everyone's end goal is making moneyAuthenticity Over Perfection: Embracing messiness and vulnerability as strengths in business relationshipsGrow Networking Community: Creating intentional connections where opportunities are meaningful and presence mattersVulnerability, Humility, Honesty, and Kindness: The four foundational pillars of relationship-based businessMaking Business Feel Good: The importance of waking up wanting to do what you doSetting Expectations: Warning about F-bombs while promising heartfelt, caring, and kind messages Powerful Quotes from the Episode "I people for a living I was people and I know how to people. I know how to make relationships. I know how to manage. I know how to lead. I've done it mostly because I failed a lot." "It's one of those things that you don't recognize you're really good at until you realize how bad other people are at it." "I found that there was a lot of transactional things happening within these networking groups, where it was you felt more like a number, you felt like an industry, you felt constantly in competition." "I am always trying to focus my life on service and being of service to other people. How can I show up for you? How can I do for you? What can I do for you first before I even go in for an ask in business?" "Feeling good about business is why we get into it. Some of us, some of it's money, but money comes." "The end result is not different. It's the same. Everybody needs to make money... Now the difference is in the journey. Step A to B is going to be different. It's going to feel different." "Vulnerability, humility, honesty, and kindness are the foundations of how we do business." "I am one of those individuals that likes to share her mess. I am a mess, I am not perfect, and that is beautiful." "You're going to hear a lot of F-bombs. Gonna go ahead and let you know that. That's just who the fuck I am." Ready for June with Tiffany? Expect authentic, heartfelt conversations about networking, relationships, and making business feel good. Fair warning: there will be F-bombs, but they come wrapped in genuine care and hard-earned wisdom from someone who truly knows how to "people for a living."

And I think that intuition is what will save your life." "I talked about it on my episode about my domestic violence story... all those moments that I missed, whereas, you know, the isolation and the 'oh, don't go hang out over there because I miss you.' And so you start moving away from or getting out of those social circles that you're accustomed to." "That is like a red flag for me that I feel like that's one of the earliest ones because it's the love bomb of like, 'I love you so much. I just want you to talk to me all the time.' And then what? And then now I've started to isolate you from the people that could help you in this environment." "It wasn't that I didn't meet other good guys after I had been out of a domestic marriage relationship. It's just good guys didn't feel safe because I had spent so many years being abused emotionally, physically, sexually, all of the things." "If you were safe, I was like, that was a red flag for me. And that is weird, and I don't think that we talk about that enough because we don't necessarily know to trust, one, to trust ourselves, but to trust our nervous system in safe spaces." "I think playing small does nobody any favors. And you need to be safe and protect yourself so that you don't have to worry when things happen." "I got in one fist fight in fourth grade and that was it over a peanut butter sandwich. I didn't realize not everybody got in fights all the time. I was that." "I love that you do this work. I think it's really powerful. I think it's really important." Resources CONNECT WITH Kimberly Taylor Judy KIMBERLY'S BUSINESS: Move With ...
