Carla Struble - CEO of EPS Electrical Production Services

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• It’s important to give people a long runway, opportunities to fail, and safety to learn. 
• Consider that the successes you have are often because of the failures you have experienced along the way.
• It can be beneficial to seek out parallel opportunities, use labs, and test environments. Allow people to make discoveries that happen in parallel with work or in spaces with no negative client impact.
• A.I. in the data space is helping to reveal connections or implications that previously may have been missed in supporting or debunking assumptions; it provides a totally different lens to view the world.
• The exponential growth in technology is leading to a labor shortage… we have to build this talent.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• Self-care is not selfish. It makes us better so we can be better for others.
• Just like in an airplane, we need to “put our masks on first”.
• We receive communication based on our own experiences. Considering other’s perspectives can be helpful in bringing people into alignment, feeling heard, and improving relationships.
• Asking what type of support our moms need can help to create a space for them to share their needs and be heard.
• High-fives are not enough. Listening and asking questions will help bring clarity to the types of support moms need.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

- The three golden rules of communication are:

1. Everything communicates, even not communicating is communicating
2. Know your audience. Know what motivates them and how they like to get their communication
3. Engage the power of storytelling

- Communication goes wrong when there is a misalignment between the tactics used to communicate the objective of the communication. Avoid going straight to the tactic of communication and think about it more strategically.

- People need to know what you want them to know, feel, and do.

- We can communicate internally to an organization, but we need to be prepared for that information to eventually go public.

- During critical incident communications leaders should:

• Tell the truth
• Be forthcoming
• If they don’t have the answer, it’s okay to say they don’t know but you are working to get the answer
• Ensure they are communicating with their own people so they know what the organization’s response is and that they are being taken care of
• Be prepared beforehand, do drills, have a core crisis communication group that includes the CEO, and have a plan
• Just do the right thing

Prior to his training, coaching, and consulting work, Gary led communications departments at CDW, Hyatt Hotels, and Fortune Brands. Before joining the corporate communications profession, he worked as a reporter and anchor for WCBD-TV in Charleston, SC, where he was nominated for an Emmy Award in investigative journalism, traveled overseas with the U.S. military, and reported from the eye of Category Four Hurricane Hugo.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• The future of work, I think, is more around the autonomous worker. The Autonomous worker aspires to have a work-life free of restrictions over time, of choice, or locations
• You find your joy in what you impact. How are you making an impact on the people you are with every day? Why can’t we just do good work for great people who want to do great things?
• When we start to think globally, we can actually make our local businesses better. When we start to consider the global movement of talent, knowledge, and learning, the diversity of skills just makes us better.
• When we think we are doing enough listening as leaders, it’s a sign that we probably are not listening enough.
• The three key traits to look for when looking for people are authentic, inspiring, and innovative.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• Helping others succeed will help with your own success. We need the support of others to move up in organizations and we need to have that outward perspective if we want to be successful at leveling up more rapidly.
• The higher up you go, the less in touch you are with how things really happen - You will begin to lack the domain knowledge and the further up in an organization you go, the more diluted information becomes from reality.
• Oftentimes, the people who have come through the organization organically lack certain skills because the company doesn’t need them or hasn’t needed them. The skills that these companies need are not in-house anymore. Now we have so much change that’s on the forefront that companies are in significant turmoil on how to adapt and adjust.
• You make more money when you move from being paid for what you do to being paid for what you know. That’s a game-changer from a career perspective.
• Take big risks. Too many people play it safe. Too many people feel like the control is not theirs. When you marry up a high risk tolerance with the accountability of “I’m going to be the one that’s in control”, it’s a game changer, and everyone should learn that earlier in their career.
• The biggest thing holding people back is their perspective. Change your perspective and show up differently because oftentimes the game you’re playing isn’t the game you need to be playing to level up.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• Not everything needs to be addressed right now. Deal with things when it's most appropriate.
• Delegating responsibilities is important for a team to function effectively.
• Team communication and end-of-the-day syncs are important to ensure the team knows what is going on and to ensure clients receive the best experience possible.
• Don’t wear yourself out. Do things slowly and do them the right way.
• Don’t feel bad about setting boundaries and directing people because if you can control your time, your days and focus can be better.
• When volunteerism and ideas are abundant, use your mission statement or organizational values to determine if it is appropriate to use the volunteer or take action on the idea.
• People will help you but you have to be willing to be helped.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• An “Epidemic of Distraction” is leading to less-than-optimal performance levels and a lack of presence at work and with our families.
• Time blocking can help us be more present
• Break your moments into wins. Think what is the “win” in this “now”, then move on to the win in the next “now” 
• We always have another chance right ahead of us to “win the now”.
• In order to effectively take care of your team, you have to be selfish in some things.
• Write down what success looks like to you. Are you doing things that are aligned with your success? Revisit the exercise because things six months from now might not be aligned with what success looks like then.
