What would you do if you were leading a team facing a multi-million dollar financial deficit? In this episode, meet Lena Wilson, the CEO of Vista del Mar and Family Services in Los Angeles. Lena moved to California from Michigan to take over the CEO position in 2019. She was hired in order to provide a pathway toward sustainability to an organization that was losing an average of $3.2 million annually. In March of 2020, the pandemic hit. Lena began her leadership journey by leading VDM with a staff of 500 in a time of chaos for which there was no blueprint. In two years, they had managed to not only decrease the deficit but produce a near break-even revenue stream by creating a culture of fiscal responsibility, education, and accountability. Lena managed to move the needle.In tough times, it's crucial for business leaders to build a sustainable workforce culture. It's like the glue holding everything together. Think of it as the secret that keeps employees motivated, engaged, and ready to tackle whatever curveballs come their way. When things are tough, a solid culture not only boosts morale but also sparks innovation and resilience. Plus, it's a magnet for top talent who want to be part of something bigger than just a job. So, while it might seem like a fluffy idea to some, investing in a solid culture is actually a smart move that pays off big time in the long run.In this episode, Lena talks about: How she transformed the organization in a challenging financial environment, maintaining both employee morale and organizational stability.How her leadership style emphasizes collaboration and support, rallying the team to navigate financial challenges and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.How she aims to balance organizational growth with sustainability, focusing on pacing growth appropriately and restructuring for future success.//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/hr/employee-engagement/assessment/DOWNLOAD A FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT:https://turningthecornerllc.com/free-assessment/SCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5Google Podcast:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RldGl6ZS5jb20vcnNzL05lTUhWV0tSSQiHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/

At Turning The Corner, we hear from so many leaders that they can't find good people to fill their jobs, whether it's from turnover or growth.

I know you were a pain in the butt to manage when you were 22. We all were.  I have a somewhat controversial take on young people entering the workplace. It's time to stop complaining about the younger generation and get real about our responsibilities as leaders. We have to teach people how to have a job, just like we were.  At one time in our lives, we were the new people in the workplace. We were the ones who needed to be taught how to have a job and be productive members of an organization. For example, at 22, I was new to IBM and just entering the workforce when I had the audacity to send the CEO an email with my thoughts on the strategy! Thankfully, my manager handled the situation with grace and gave me a chance, and I ended up having a long career with IBM.My point is that instead of complaining, let's lean into our leadership skills and embrace the young professionals who have skills, ideas, and gifts to contribute. As Founders and CEOs, we can't thrive in the People Revolution without them.

Anyone who starts a company with an idea is going to have a different journey than someone who becomes a CEO through a recruiting effort or because they grew up inside the organization and they got promoted into the role. Our guest today had an amazing idea and turned it into an incredible company. Yasmine Mustafa, the CEO and co-founder of ROAR, has a notable background that has significantly influenced her work. As a former refugee, Yasmine experienced precarious working conditions, which ignited her drive to establish ROAR, a company dedicated to leveraging technology for the empowerment of individuals and the creation of safer work environments. Notably, her innovative contributions include the development of the Athena device, a personal safety wearable, which underscores her commitment to addressing safety challenges. With a team of 18 individuals and a B Corp certification, Yasmine's strategic approach has positioned her as a prominent figure in the sphere of workplace safety and empowerment, offering valuable insights into fostering positive change within organizations.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why she turned ROAR into a B Corp and what the impact and benefits are for your company's success and social responsibility.Insights into the future of the hybrid work model.Why she embraced the evolution of a leadership mindset and empowered her team for success.//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/hr/employee-engagement/assessment/DOWNLOAD A FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT:https://turningthecornerllc.com/free-assessment/SCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5Google Podcast:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RldGl6ZS5jb20vcnNzL05lTUhWV0tSSQiHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/HIRE KENDRA AS A CONSULTANT OR KEYNOTE SPEAKERhttps://kendraprospero.com/__________Say hello on social:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TurningthecornerllcJobsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TurningTheCornerLLCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/turning_the_corner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/turning-the-co

Compensation plans are like the rulebook for how businesses distribute pay to their employees. Compensation plans cover everything from your basic salary to bonuses, perks, and benefits that make a job more than just a paycheck. Think of them as the playbook for keeping everyone happy and paid fairly. They're not just about following the law and avoiding messy legal battles over pay; they're also about showing employees they're valued and keeping them motivated to do their best work. When folks feel like they're getting a fair shake, they're more likely to stick around, give their all, and even spread the good word about your company. Plus, throwing in some performance-based incentives can really light a fire, pushing the whole team to feel more motivated.In this episode, Kendra shares how you will be able to:Understand the importance of compensation strategy for business success.Discover the importance of equal pay for your workforce.Learn effective ways to manage compensation gaps in your organization.Gain insights on how to avoid discrimination lawsuits to protect your business.Explore the benefits of conducting fair pay studies for a motivated workforce.//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/hr/employee-engagement/assessment/DOWNLOAD A FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT:https://turningthecornerllc.com/free-assessment/SCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5Google Podcast:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RldGl6ZS5jb20vcnNzL05lTUhWV0tSSQiHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/HIRE KENDRA AS A CONSULTANT OR KEYNOTE SPEAKERhttps://kendraprospero.com/

Too many leaders just accept high turnover as a normal part of doing business. At Turning the Corner, we will argue until we're exhausted that this is unacceptable. All turnover is expensive, and we need to make it as low as possible as owners and as business leaders. Our guest on this episode has every reason to have a high turnover rate, as she's in a tough industry. Yet she maintains a less than 5% employee turnover and has even grown her staff by 25% over the last year.Karen Norheim is the President and CEO of American Crane & Equipment Corporation, a manufacturer of overhead cranes and hoists. They even provide equipment to NASA to lift spacecraft! The work can be dirty, dangerous, and backbreaking, yet their turnover is almost nothing. We're going to find out how she's made this possible. In this episode, we had a great conversation about how she:Cultivated a strong company culture for success (and you can, too, no matter the industry.)Developed grit to overcome challenges and thrive with her teamEmbraced transparency and communication for a thriving workplace when new leadership takes over.Connected the work to a larger purpose for motivation and fulfillment.You will also hear Karen's inspiring story and lessons learned from taking over the family business that were passed down to her by her father.//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/hr/employee-engagement/assessment/DOWNLOAD A FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT:https://turningthecornerllc.com/free-assessment/SCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5Google Podcast:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RldGl6ZS5jb20vcnNzL05lTUhWV0tSSQiHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/HIRE KENDRA AS A CONSULTANT OR KEYNOTE SPEAKERhttps://kendraprospero.com/

If your company is growing and you're recruiting new talent, it is imperative that you have a solid new hire onboarding strategy. Effective onboarding of new employees is crucial for the long-term success of your company. A well-structured onboarding process sets the tone for a positive work environment and fosters a sense of belonging. When new hires feel welcomed and supported from the beginning, they are more likely to integrate seamlessly into the company culture. This integration is essential for building a cohesive team that collaborates efficiently and shares common values and goals. A comprehensive onboarding program ensures that employees understand their job, roles, responsibilities, and the company's mission and values. This clarity not only boosts individual performance but also aligns the new hire with the organization's overarching objectives. As a Founder or CEO, this is your opportunity to lean in and get the new employee set on the right path.Onboarding also plays a pivotal role in talent retention. When employees receive proper guidance and training during their initial days, they are more likely to feel engaged and committed to their roles. This positive experience reduces the likelihood of turnover, saving you time and resources invested in recruitment. So, if you have ever struggled with employee turnover and underperforming team members like most leaders do at some point in their careers, you may want to skip the standardized orientation program. There is a better way to ensure employee retention and job performance!In this episode, you will be able to:Understand the relationship between recruiting and onboarding.Discover the crucial differences between onboarding and orientation for better employee integration.Uncover the key to providing effective feedback, training and support during the onboarding process.Learn how managers play a pivotal role in coaching new employees to success.//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/hr/employee-engagement/assessment/DOWNLOAD A FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT:https://turningthecornerllc.com/free-assessment/SCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5Google Podcast:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RldGl6ZS5jb20vcnNzL05lTUhWV0tSSQiHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/HIRE KENDRA AS A CONSULTANT OR KEYNOTE SPEAKERhttps://kendraprospero.com/__________Say hello on social:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TurningthecornerllcJobsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TurningTheCornerLLCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/turning_the_corner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/turning-the-co

Leading a company and trying to build an amazing culture in the midst of challenges? It can often seem like an impossible task. And guess what advice some of us get when things get tough? "Just crank up the productivity, forget about how your team's doing." Seriously? Turns out, that kind of one-track thinking just leads to disengaged and burnt-out folks on your team. And trust me, that's a recipe for disaster – less work getting done and people jumping ship left and right.But here's the real deal: we've got to see beyond this tunnel vision. Ignoring what your team really needs is a dead-end road. Especially in wild times, leaders need to see that how your team feels and how well your company does are joined at the hip. It's all about putting a culture in place that's got your team's back, not just professionally but personally too. When leaders wrap their heads around this, magic happens. You end up with a team that not only survives the chaos but comes out on the other side stronger, more into their work, and totally committed to crushing those shared goals.In this episode, you will hear from Yi Yang. Yi is Managing Principal at Summit Engineering, Inc., which serves wineries and other projects in California. He's got an interesting perspective on leading through chaos, having come to the US at age 14 and battling imposter syndrome. Now, he's a success and knows that he doesn't have to be like everyone else in order to be accepted. In fact, his differences are his strengths as a leader, especially when times are tough.In this episode, you will:Discover effective strategies for leading through challenges from a “Best Place to Work” award winner.Learn how to cultivate a thriving company culture that prioritizes employee well-being.Navigate and adapt to the constantly changing HR needs like work from home and flexible work with confidence.Hear how Yi makes work fun for employees and pick up some ideas you can implement.//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/hr/employee-engagement/assessment/DOWNLOAD A FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT:https://turningthecornerllc.com/free-assessment/SCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5Google Podcast:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RldGl6ZS5jb20vcnNzL05lTUhWV0tSSQiHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/HIRE KENDRA AS A CONSULTANT OR KEYNOTE SPEAKERhttps://kendraprospero.com/__________Say hello on social:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TurningthecornerllcJobsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TurningTheCornerLLCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/turning_the_corner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/turning-the-co

You may have noticed in the media lately that there is a lot of unionization, as well as threats to unionize and even regulation that is being forced upon businesses. Starbucks and Amazon are two companies in the headlines recently for employee unionization in response to what they perceive as unfair working conditions.In 2022, more than 16 million workers in the United States were represented by a union—an increase of 200,000 from 2021 (according to the Economic Policy Institute)Why is this massive increase happening?

Dr. Yoram Solomon has published 16 books, 22 patents, and was one of the creators of Wi-Fi and USB 3.0 technologies, for which he was dubbed "TI's Great Innovator." Dr. Solomon was named by Innovation Excellence as one of the Top 40 Innovation Bloggers, and by Thinkers 360 as one of the top 20 Global Thought Leaders and Influencers on Culture. He was a columnist at Inc. Magazine,  Innovation Excellence, and other publications, where he published more than 300 articles.In this episode, Yoram and Kendra Prospero explore how employer trust sparks employee innovation. Yoram answers some intriguing questions such as, does everyone need to be a leader or can they remain as an individual contributor and still be successful?Yoram shares interesting insights like the pitfalls to avoid when trying to build trust and the steps leaders need to take in order to build trust based on his research and proven process.Why should you focus on building trust in the work place? Because employee trust is the cornerstone of a healthy and thriving workplace, fostering an environment where individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered. When employees trust their leaders and colleagues, it cultivates open communication, collaboration, and a sense of belonging. This trust results in increased job satisfaction, higher morale, and a willingness to go above and beyond in their roles. Trust reduces turnover rates, as loyal and content employees are more likely to stay with an organization, ultimately saving on recruitment and training costs. Additionally, a foundation of trust paves the way for innovation and risk-taking, as employees feel safe in expressing their ideas and challenging the status quo. Ultimately, the benefits of employee trust ripple throughout the organization, leading to higher productivity, improved employee well-being, and a stronger competitive edge in the ever-evolving business landscape.//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/hr/employee-engagement/assessment/DOWNLOAD A FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT:https://turningthecornerllc.com/free-assessment/SCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5Google Podcast:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RldGl6ZS5jb20vcnNzL05lTUhWV0tSSQiHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/HIRE KENDRA AS A CONSULTANT OR KEYNOTE SPEAKERhttps://kendraprospero.com/__________Say hello on social:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TurningthecornerllcJobsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TurningTheCornerLLCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/turning_the_corner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/turning-the-corner/

Hiring former military personnel into corporate environments brings a multitude of benefits that extend beyond their specialized skill sets. Despite the preconceived notions about the lack of adaptability of ex-military individuals, they possess a wealth of qualities that can greatly enrich a corporate setting. By overcoming these stereotypes, organizations can tap into a reservoir of disciplined, goal-oriented, and resilient professionals who have demonstrated their ability to excel under pressure. Their extensive training in teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and effective communication can catalyze innovation within the company and foster an environment of collaboration. Furthermore, integrating veterans into corporate culture not only breaks down misconceptions but also encourages diversity of thought, contributing to a well-rounded workforce capable of approaching challenges from various angles in an often untapped talent pool. Also,  transitioning former military personnel into corporate roles doesn't only benefit the organizations themselves, but also has a positive impact on the community and society at large. Veterans often face challenges as they navigate the shift from military to civilian life, and providing them with meaningful employment can alleviate some of these difficulties. In this episode, we talk with Robyn Grable of Talents ASCEND, an AI skills-based talent sourcing program.//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/hr/employee-engagement/assessment/DOWNLOAD A FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT:https://turningthecornerllc.com/free-assessment/SCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5Google Podcast:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RldGl6ZS5jb20vcnNzL05lTUhWV0tSSQiHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/HIRE KENDRA AS A CONSULTANT OR KEYNOTE SPEAKERhttps://kendraprospero.com/__________Say hello on social:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TurningthecornerllcJobsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TurningTheCornerLLCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/turning_the_corner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/turning-the-corner/Resources Mentioned: Website:  https://talentsascend.comLinkedIn:  https://linkedin.com/in/robynjgrable

There aren't many entrepreneurs whose career experience includes police officer, presidential campaign fundraiser, marketing strategist and founder of two healthcare IT startups. Cindy Jordan's current venture came to light in 2017 motivated by her stepdaughter's struggle with a mental health crisis. Vowing to wage a war on loneliness, Cindy was moved to create Pyx Health. It's this idea that if they can stop one family from having to experience what they've experienced, then they're making a difference. And it turns out, they probably do that about 900 times a day because that's how many intervention calls they make.Five years later, Pyx Health is a proven solution that is helping the country's most at-risk populations by tackling loneliness and closing gaps in care in real-time. Cindy's goal is to see broad healthcare industry transformation - to have loneliness a diagnosable, treatable, and covered condition.Cindy shares her family's story because the heart of what Pyx is about is culture. What she knew is that they wanted to take her daughter's legacy and figure out how to turn it into an actual culture that you could wrap your arms around, talk about, and write down on a piece of paper. The question we explore in this discussion is this: is there a better way to manage culture than values?//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/hr/employee-engagement/assessment/DOWNLOAD A FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT:https://turningthecornerllc.com/free-assessment/SCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerllc.com/LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5Google Podcast:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RldGl6ZS5jb20vcnNzL05lTUhWV0tSSQiHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/HIRE KENDRA AS A CONSULTANT OR KEYNOTE SPEAKERhttps://kendraprospero.com/__________Say hello on social:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TurningthecornerllcJobsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TurningTheCornerLLCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/turning_the_corner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/turning-the-corner/
