job performance

Many businesses face the ongoing challenge of finding the right person to fill specific roles within their teams. Accurately evaluating a candidate's skills and ability to execute the unique responsibilities of a position is essential but often tricky.

In this episode, Rick speaks with Chuck Russell, the founder of BestWork Data. Chuck explains the value of a scientific process in evaluating the ability of candidates to perform the specific tasks of a certain role in a company.

With a rich background in management consulting and a revolutionary approach to personality assessments, Russell explains why you need to make data-driven hiring decisions that match the job's demands with an individual's hardwired traits. 

We debunk common myths about personal development and explore how understanding inherent traits can lead to better job performance and satisfaction. 

Plus, learn about the critical role of "coachability" in evaluating potential hires. 

Best Work Data is the exclusive provider of screening for Alloy Personal Training, and Chuck explains the why behind his particular screen and why it's so relevant in the hiring process. 

Enjoy!

Does your veterinary job leave you depleted? Worn out? Reaching for chocolate and caffeine day after day after day? Kirbie Be had the same experience when she was an elementary school teacher. She shares with us her story of declining physical and mental health… all culminating in a big shift when she took a contract in the Caribbean at a prep school for the families of those at the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine.

It was there in St. Kitts that Kirbie changed her life, and everyone noticed! She began building and learning a series of healthy habits that benefited her health (physically and mentally), and even though she was spending more time on herself, her energy was overflowing. This is where Vet Vive Wellness was born.

From starting a yoga and fitness studio on the island to helping veterinarians at the university reach their health goals, Kirbie has created programs and spaces for veterinarians and veterinary students to recover, reduce stress, and build habits that not only impact their health but improve their performance at work and school.

In a career with little to no margin for error, it's easy to develop an all or nothing mindset while striving for perfection. Kirbie’s biggest advice is to not give in to all or nothing. Choose your goals, list the skills needed to reach those goals, and break them down into actionable habits one small step at a time.

If you want to learn more about Kirbie and Vet Vive Wellness, you can visit her website, socials, or send them an email.


What’s Inside:

• The cost of prioritizing your career over your own health
• How healthy skills and habits can improve your job performance
• Healthy habits and their link to mental health
• Tips for introducing new health habits with success

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how the ever-evolving work landscape and our individual career journeys shape the essential skills needed for thriving in today's careers.

Leslie Ferry, the host and Brize CEO, kicks things off by delving into how technology’s relentless progress reshapes the essence of work. It is no longer just about cognitive skills; it’s about elevating our cognitive abilities, fostering collaboration, and cultivating a positive mindset.

She then sheds light on the job performance measurements shift as we progress through our careers. 

These two factors have created the career profile she and her team at Brize have aptly coined “I3” (I cubed) – a career profile that blends Subject, Emotional, and Social Intelligence.

Listen to understand how these three pillars of intelligence converge to shape your path to success in the modern career landscape.

As we begin re-entering society, women are reporting low self-esteem around job performance and self-image. Anney and Samantha dig into the science of why that is, and how to deal with it in this classic episode.
