Career Coaching Xs and Os

Episode 56 – Your Bad Intentions Are Killing Your StartupWelcome back to the Career Coaching Xs and Os podcast—the show where we uncover the strategies, challenges, and breakthroughs that shape meaningful career success. In this episode, we dive into a compelling coaching session with the founder of a cutting-edge fintech startup facing a leadership crisis. After missing a critical launch deadline due to a compliance failure, the founder took swift and severe action—demoting the Compliance Officer, revoking some of his founder shares, and resorting to verbal beratement. This pattern of high-pressure leadership had begun affecting the entire executive team, pushing them toward burnout and creating a culture teetering on the edge of sabotage. Recognizing the urgent need for a reset, the founder scheduled a coaching session with me. What advice did I offer? How do you turn a failing leadership dynamic into a thriving, high-performance culture? Stay tuned as I break down the insights, strategies, and mindset shifts that could change the course of this startup—and maybe even your own leadership approach.

After George Floyd's death, millions of dollars have been donated to charities and racial justice groups with little discussion as to what we want from those investments. I want to change that dialogue. I want EVERYONE to "BE INTENTIONAL" and create an environment where the outcomes we want can actually happen. What does "BE INTENTIONAL" mean? It means that we stop giving to charity and start putting money in Black-Owned Banks and letting "Fractional Reserve Banking" do for Blacks what it does for other communities.

In episode 29, I interview Dr. Robert Joseph of Team Mindshift, An Innovative Training and Technology Solutions Company. In the discussion, we drill down into why virtual employees need to change the way they learn and what they learn. Dr. Joseph believes that the biggest impediment to adult learning in this modern age is emotion. Fear, Frustration, and Self-Doubt do not make a good environment for learning. All is not lost though because how you feel about something is a choice in which you can have power over. To that end, Dr. Joseph proposes that company invest in EL³G (Emotion, Learning to Learn How to Learn, Generalization) to help employees "learn-how-to-learn." Dr. Joseph argues that once you have learned how to learn, employees should invest in improving their technical skills, especially in A.I. and Data Science. If you are a CEO, this episode is for you!

In Episode 28, I discuss the Six (6) steps you should take if customers refuse service from your minority employees. In the wake of the George Floyd murder, I am learning of an increasing number of incidents in which customers are making demands that run counter to corporate moral and legal policies. In April, 2020, a customer requested that a Lowes store manager send white employees only to deliver products that they requested. The manager called the minority employee and asked him to return to the store. When Lowes corporate found out about the incident, the store manager was fired. As a manager, you should these types of incidents to continue. Don't get blindsided. Have a plan.Great News.

In Episode 27, I provide seven (7) steps that you can take to supercharge your career after the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the business community. Consumer demand has shifted, and businesses are modifying their operations to satisfy that demand. Companies are offering "contactless" delivery of goods and services, and those who cannot pivot (i.e., transportation and hospitality) are cutting costs.

In Episode 25, I interview Dave McKeown, the author of The Self-Evolved Leader. McKeown is the CEO of Outfield Leadership, Former Accenture Consultant and Former COO and then President of Predictable Success.In the interview, McKeown and I discuss how visionary heroic leaders like Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerburg, and Elon Musk foster leadership environments where employees develop a syndrome McKeown calls "learned helplessness." In these cases, employees never reach their true potential because Hero Leaders swoop in and save the day before these employees can learn how to succeed. McKeown points to false "Urgency" as the primary reason why Heroic leaders exist. If you can eliminate Urgency, then a new type of leader can emerge, the Self Evolved Leader.Check out this episode and learn how to become a Self-Evolved Leader.If you like Career Coaching Xs and Os, then you might also like my other two business podcasts, Guerrillapreneur: The Art of Waging Small Business Warfare (Mastermind Interviews with Entrepreneurs, Consultants, and Business Mavericks) and Gigging: Everything and Sharing Economy (news and predictions about the Sharing Economy).Thinking of launching a business?

In Episode 24, I discuss the 10 ways to defeat a Bully Negotiator. A bully negotiator is someone who will seek to intimidate you so that hey can get what they want out of a negotiation. Bully Negotiators will seek impossible terms in hopes of getting terms that are EXTREMELY favorable to them. Bully Negotiators will insult your intelligence, demean your organization and will threaten to elevate the negotiations to your boss just to get leverage over you. A Bully Negotiator's goal is to make you feel like a battered spouse so that you seek to please them and blame yourself.Want to improve your negotiation skills? Take the 100 Days of Rejection Therapy Challenge. The goal of the 100 Days of Rejection Therapy Challenge is to desensitize yourself to the pain of rejection and to overcome fear.

In Episode 23, I interview Don Jones, author of the book "Be The Master: Achieve Success & Help Others." Don Jones is a self-taught technology professional, starting as a night-shift AS/400 operator. He grew into tech leadership, and for over a decade as a freelance writer, speaker, and classroom teacher. Today he’s a Vice President for a major technology skills management firm. Don Jones’ formal education ended with his four-year aircraft mechanic apprenticeship. For everything else, he’s relied on experience, self-learning, and a massive amount of support from past and current bosses, leaders, and mentors.Initially, Jones thought that he would never become a technologist. He was told in high school because he did not plan to attend college that he would not be successful in this field. How many of you have been told that "You are not a good fit" for that job? If you count yourself among those who raised their hands, this is a MUST listen to the podcast interview, and "Be The Boss" is a MUST purchase book (Please see the end of the Show Notes for information on how to Purchase the Book).Thinking of launching a business?

In past episodes, I have suggested that you should think of yourself as a small business and that you should have a board of advisors. The Small Business Association published a statistic that says that businesses with a board of advisors are 75% more likely to stay in business past five years. If that works for small businesses, it would be equally valuable for individuals.There is one drawback to having a personal Board of Advisors, mentor whiplash. According to Upramp.com, “Mentor Whiplash is the fatigue many mentees feel after working with several smart mentors, all with differing opinions and feedback.”In Ep 20, I share 5 ways to avoid Mentor Whiplash. 5 Ways to Avoid Mentor Whiplash1.Have a clearly defined career strategy2.Communicate all your career barriers and your skill weaknesses to ALL mentors3.Have Your Mentors meet and communicate regularly (Quarterly if possible)4.Communicate context to all mentors (garbage in - garbage out) 5.Get advice from people who have achieved what you hope to accomplishIf you like the tips I provide in this episode, please check out my book, Guerrillapreneur: Small Business Strategy for Davids Wanting to Defeat Goliath, available on Amazon, Barnes, and Noble, and iTunes Bookstore and more. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BR9YNWO/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_vHAaDb4MP6K8PIf you like Career Coaching Xs and Os, then you might also like my other two business podcasts, Guerrillapreneur: The Art of Waging Small Business Warfare (Mastermind Interviews with Entrepreneurs, Consultants, and Business Mavericks) and Gigging: Everything and Sharing Economy (news and predictions about the Sharing Economy).If you like this episode, please subscribe to this podcast and leave us a comment.

In Ep 19, I discussed the 7 things you should consider re-hiring a former employee who left you for greener pastures. Why do I make this distinction? Many great and talented employees might leave you for family leave (pregnancy, medical, etc.). Under these situations, I follow the NFL axiom, "a player can't lose their job to injury." However, the circumstance is different when an employee decides to leave you to join a competitor and then after learning that the grass is not greener, they want to return. I hope this episode helps you avoid any pitfalls around rehiring an employee who has left you for greener pastures.If you like the tips I provide in this episode, please check out my book, Guerrillapreneur: Small Business Strategy for Davids Wanting to Defeat Goliath, available on Amazon, Barnes, and Noble, and iTunes Bookstore and more. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BR9YNWO/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_vHAaDb4MP6K8PIf you like Career Coaching Xs and Os, then you might also like my other two business podcasts, Guerrillapreneur: The Art of Waging Small Business Warfare (Mastermind Interviews with Entrepreneurs, Consultants, and Business Mavericks) and Gigging: Everything and Sharing Economy (news and predictions about the Sharing Economy).If you like this episode, please subscribe to this podcast and leave us a comment.
