Episode Summary

Sara Sheehan joins us in today’s episode! Sara and I talked about one of the most common topics around people management, which is having the best company culture. Is there such? 

Sara puts it - company culture’s foundation is supported behaviours. And this came from her years of experience from a human capital perspective. Sara highlights, though, that while it means supported behaviours among a group of people, it is important that you are clearer with the desired outcomes you want to achieve out of tolerance and in your business context. This is how you can create the best company culture while realistically achieving action, accountability and productivity. 

We also agreed on one aspect: An unhealthy company culture led by a poor leader is a disaster! 

Suppose you feel like you are looking to sprint the corporate ladder, or wanting to create an impact that fires across all cylinders, or delegated to change a company culture that fails the business. In that case, this is an episode you should be tuning in and taking advantage of it! 

Listen to this week's show and learn: 

• What does the best company culture look like;
• How you can measure your company culture health;
• How to never lose employees without doing a lot;
• How you can avoid leadership disaster by having a great company culture.

Get a unique insight into Kerry Paul’s insightful expertise, especially on how you can start exploring personal development opportunities, what you can learn and what you can do next!

Can you achieve "profit predictability" in your small business operations by simply being effective in communication leadership? Adam Liette, Smooth Operations founder, joins us in today's podcast episode and shares how this is possible! 

Behavioural science tells us that every interaction affects people's performance. Each interaction can work best when we work from a place of comfort or on schedules, when people know what is expected of them and see those expectations met.

In essence, Adam leverages on structured and tangible remote team communication to predict roadmaps for your team and small business operations with the use of an operating system he designed. To him, every business is a living, breathing organization. It's not just an org chart—it's also a group of people with whom you interact in ways that influence their performance. 

This is a must-listen episode! Make sure you take advantage of this and learn about Adam's structured approach to achieving predictability through team communication! 

Listen to this week's show and learn:

Episode Summary 

In my experience, fixing a workplace conflict, whether it is remote or not, always involve quite - a unique dynamic. Lorraine Segal, our guest for today’s podcast episode, not only knows how to navigate her way through it but mastered the way to it! 

Lorraine thinks of conflict differently. People think when there is conflict, they automatically think that something is wrong. Truth is conflict is part of being human. Most of the time, we approach fixing workplace conflict by simply telling the people involved that “you have to be the better person” or “think of it that it’s just another conflict” - essentially, downgrading the conflict to something that is inexistent. 

Listen ‘til the very end of this podcast and learn the factors to include in conflict remedy, reframing conflict, your unique approach to conflict remedy, and how you can identify a healthy conflict from an unhealthy one! This episode will be your cheat sheet in people management! 

Listen to this week's show and learn: 

• What is reframing in conflict remedy?;
• How reframing becomes a better tool in managing your workplace conflict;
• How to never lose a workplace argument again: The importance of workplace conflict transformation.

Episode Summary
Our guests for today’s episode started scaling businesses very interestingly. Harrison Baron founded his business today from podcasts! And look, here we are discussing management tips and tricks on my podcast! 

There is a lot of debate about how to manage your employees and create a good workplace culture. It's no longer just about getting the work done. Today you have to manage people, which is significantly more complex than managing labor.

Harrison and I discussed our thoughts on what a good workplace culture looks like. Harrison believes that workplace culture is not what you say, but it’s how you do it, to which I absolutely agree! We also discussed how the best leaders thrive when things get tough from a business perspective. 

We both subscribed to the view that an effective leader needs to be able to give someone a clear trajectory of what exactly it is that they should be doing, how best to do it, and how much you can expect them to achieve in the role if you expect that person to perform at their best. 

Want to learn more? Tune in until the very end to learn how your workplace culture indicates your kind of leadership to your team, business network, and profit!

Listen to this week's show and learn:

Episode Summary
This week, I am speaking to Patrick Kilner, who has advocated lead generation through the right network and influence. What’s interesting about Patrick is that he built his success from the global recession over 10 years ago. And relied heavily on networking and having the right relationships, which helped him thrive above the global crisis! 

Since then, and after seeing the impact it made on him and his business, he realized how lead generation, as we know it today, became very superficial and lacked depth. He’s always believed that the only way to make your business “disruption” proof is through using influencer pyramid. He also shared a very practical way of networking for small business owners.

I know we’ve covered some exciting episodes about networking for small business owners BUT today’s episode is one thing you would not want to miss! I never thought lead generation as we know it today has a weak point no one talks about!

*BONUS*

Tune in until the very end and learn how you can get a free chapter of his book, Find Your Six!  

Listen to this week’s show and learn: 

• 3 overlooked obstacles in the way you do networking;
• Why lead generation has become a losing proposition today;
• Who should your networking be focused  when you are a small business owner;
• What true influence is and how to win and develop it systematically
