Wylie McGraw (@wyliemcgraw) is a former star athlete and 3-tour combat veteran who has become a high-performance coach to CEOs, entrepreneurs, and public figures. Named a "secret weapon" by influential leaders, his work provides an elite edge by ending stress and sustaining peak performance. With a reputation as a direct and honest mentor, Wylie has developed principles to unleash untapped potential and achieve self-mastery. His combat experience gives him unique insights into overcoming obstacles and advancing personal growth. Wylie operates on the belief that with the right radical intervention, anyone can reach their fullest potential. He has worked with influential leaders such as Will Smith, Elon Musk, Kanye West, and he is the host of the Wise Words & Whiskey Podcast What Travis and Wylie discussed:  Sports and athletics at a young age teach important lessons about self-awareness, working hard towards goals, handling adversity, and being part of a team. Getting kids involved can expand their capacity for performance in other areas of life. The personal development industry often sells a "hamster wheel" of programs and gurus rather than helping people truly find themselves. It's important to discern what works for you rather than getting caught up in the marketing hype. True high-performance coaching is about building relationships, asking the hard questions, and pushing people beyond their self-imposed limits - not just trying to make money. Coaches should focus on transformational results rather than numbers. Leaving every relationship better than you found it, even small gestures like an introduction or book recommendation, pays off exponentially in the long run through expanding your network and opportunities. On his podcast "Wise Words & Whiskey," Wiley has authentic conversations about life and performance over a nice bottle of whiskey matched to each guest. It's a chance to gain wisdom in a casual environment. This was an insightful conversation about living life on your own terms and the difference between surface-level coaching and truly transformational work. Listen to the full discussion with Wiley on the Travis Makes Friends podcast to hear more of his unique perspectives.

Wei-Li Chong is the Founder and Managing Partner of Culture Playbook Partners (CCP), a company that helps organizations make their culture a tangible lever that drives business performance. He spent almost 30 years successfully leading human capital and culture transformations, driving business performance in billion-dollar-plus organizations.  Before CPP, Wei-Li was the SVP of Human Resources at ANN Inc. and served in multiple leadership positions at KinderCare Education. As the previous US President of MindGym, he helped the company weather the pandemic and rebuilt its operational infrastructure for scalable growth. In this episode… In business, it can be all too easy to get wrapped up in the numbers and miss out on what matters most. Rules and procedures are important, but they can often eclipse the more vital aspects of running a company. This is especially true for businesses built on compassion and the people who provide it. Wei-Li Chong was brought into KinderCare during a season of steady decline. During his time there, he helped the company regain its footing and enter a new period of success. Much of this was based on his approach to people, transforming culture to transform the business. Dov Pollack has a powerful interview with Wei-Li Chong, the Founder and Managing Partner at Culture Playbook Partners, to discuss how to lead a company and its culture authentically. They talk about what can be learned from poor leaders, listening to employees, and connecting with others to encourage change. They also walk through the personal approach Wei-Li used to help bring KinderCare out of its descent. Hear the rest on this episode of Next Wave Leadership!

In this interview, I had the pleasure of sharing some space with Wylie McGraw.   Wylie shares his story and background to how it led him to the life he is experiencing today.   Wylie and I discuss all how to accelerate one's performance and create an environment that allows for you to succeed and beyond...   Tune in for more...   Who is Wylie McGraw? Wylie is a former Star Pitcher, Competitive Bull Rider, and 3-Tour Combat Veteran.   It was through those intense experiences that he discovered his crazy superpower of being able to expose blind spots, erupt & eradicate stress, and fully unleash the untapped potential of high achievers.   He's the founder of Radical Performance Acceleration and for well over a decade now he's been behind the scenes doing life-altering work with powerful CEOs, Entrepreneurs, Leaders, and Public Figures accelerating their performance both personally and professionally.   His work is the proverbial “Navy SEAL training” equivalent to high-performance and leadership development – pushing even the elite beyond their limits so they not only hit their peak but sustain it.   He's been named a “secret weapon” by some of the most influential leaders across industries from Wall St., Hollywood, Professional Sports, Fortune 500 companies, Personal Development, and everything in between. His work is about giving an elite edge to high-achieving individuals while ending their cycle of stress, sacrifice, and suffering that's unfortunately associated when reaching their levels of accomplishment and success.   When Wylie's not traveling the country to meet his clients, this family man enjoys skydiving, mountain top sunsets, and sipping on an occasional 18-year-old single malt scotch while pondering the philosophies of life, the cosmos, and beyond.   How to Connect with Wylie?

Today I ponder....... Recall your best manager and the impact? Recall your worst manager and the impact? Have no doubt about impact of managers on people and performance outcomes. If you lead or run a business and you are not taking considered action here, you are leaving performance on the table. I know it to be true from personal experience, research and through many years in HR and business leadership. Yet it is tempting to promote people who lack core capabilities and are not provided with training/development support at a critical career stage. We lean into the technical skills or tolerate key capability gaps and the resulting consequences (think disengagement, turnover, confusion, lack of development). Accepting mediocrity is much easier than investing in clarity of expectations and aligned leadership development. https://rework.withgoogle.com/blog/the-evolution-of-project-oxygen/ We hope you enjoyed the episode Visit the Go to Grow Website here: www.gotogrow.com.au Send us an email with any thoughts, questions or ideas to stewart@gotogrow.com.au or melissa@gotogrow.com.au Thanks so much for choosing growth and being part of the tribe.

I’m very pleased to be joined today by Chester Elton, a recognized expert in business and leadership. Chester has worked together with his partner, Adrian Gostick, for over 20 years to create networks where people feel engaged, enabled, and energized. They are the authors of several leadership books, including the newly released The Best Team Wins: The New Science of High Performance. Known as “The Carrot Guys,” Chester and Adrian believe that as you motivate and recognize passionate people in the right positions and create a culture they connect with, business success will naturally follow. In our conversation, we dive into the importance of writing the best books, ways to successfully grow your consulting business, and how to increase your expertise so that you can increase your consulting fees, all on this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast with Chester Elton.   Writing The Best Books Before becoming a world-renowned author and cultivator of successful business culture, Chester worked for his college newspaper at Brigham Young University in Utah. After graduation he worked in advertising in New York City, selling both ad space and ‘air space.’  Soon he started down the path of selling recognition programs, where he worked for 19 years to help businesses understand the importance of valuing and recognizing their employees. His first book was the genesis of his relationship with Adrian Gostick, as well as his positioning as a thought leader of recognition in the business world. 11 books, 1.5 million copies and 30 languages later, Chester and Adrian have clearly set themselves apart in exactly the ways they set out to. Any consultant who has ever considered writing a book recognizes the mountain before them.  It can seem entirely overwhelming to even know where to start. For Chester, there was little trepidation when faced with the daunting task of writing his first book, and he gives that credit to the support system that he surrounded himself with. Just as you’ve heard me say many times before, his network was the key to his success. His network became the critical link to his success. Between his partnership with Adrian, their editor, publisher, and the many mentors who supported them along the way, the partners were able to confidently conquer their first book, as well as the many other books that have followed. If you can surround yourself by people that will encourage you along the way, you will be able to conquer the mountain of expert writing as well, and you will enjoy the benefits that follow soon after. The quality writing that you produce, whether it be as monumental as your first book or as simple as a white paper or blog post, will be beneficial the success of your consulting business.  Writing helps to solidify your why — not just what you do and how you do it, but why you are doing it and why other people should listen to you as a thought leader in your industry.   Charging Fees Like An Expert Once you have established yourself as an expert, you can charge the fees that accompany expertise. Chester and Adrian started their speaking engagements at a mere $1,000 per event.  But their success quickly escalated as they became more accomplished writers. As they charged more for their speaking events, they found that more important people started attending their sessions. When they started charging upwards of $20,000 per session, the CEO started showing up. As a result of their successful writing and speaking engagements, people began inquiring about the training options they offered. So once again the team tapped into their network, surrounded themselves with smart people and created a very successful training practice. Along pathway to success, Chester and Adrian have always been sure to keep their focus front and center. By remembering their why they have been able to continuously enjoy success and help people wake up in the morning to a job that they love. Chester talks about the inspiration he’s gained from Marshall Goldsmith, and you may find similarities between him and the mentors that you have chosen to surround yourself with as you pursue your consulting success. Chester is another example of the successful consulting truth that I constantly share — your network is the greatest tool that you have in your possession.   The Intentional Evolution of a Successful Business Creating a successful consulting business requires intentionality. Chester shares his story of the natural evolution of his business and points out that the key to success was the intentional effort that he and Adrian put into it. Again, the main and recurring theme of Chester’s success — like so many other consultants — is the network that he leaned on. The people that he surrounded himself with helped him to realize the success that he enjoys today. Chester notes that one of the greatest things he’s learned from his mentors is the mistakes that they have made along the way. Like him, there is no reason for you to make every common consulting mistake yourself — you can connect yourself to the best people in your industry and let them teach you, based on their experiences. You should also not be afraid to grow slowly, or be afraid to have patience with your company as you figure out how to meet your financial and timeline goals. If you feel like you’re rushing, have the confidence to step back and patiently work through the problems in front of you so that you can get it right. You’ll want to hear his advice to understand how it can work for you, too. This advice he shares may seem obvious, but it has made all the difference in Chester’s success — intentionality shows through in everything you do. If you want to write a best-selling book, write a really great book! The intentionality that you put into any of your work will show through, and the transition from expert writer to expert speaker, and then to expert trainer will be a very natural one. In addition to writing, Chester shares a second critical part of success, which is being very public about the work you are doing. You have to be willing to put yourself out there and connect with as many people as you can. LinkedIn is an excellent resource for building your network in any industry, and I hope you are using it to your full advantage. If not, listen to the challenge that Chester has for you to optimize your publicity and network opportunities, and you just may realize that there is more you could be doing to maximize the intentional success of your consultancy.   The Purpose Behind The Carrot Guys Having a purpose is endearing to people. For Chester, the work of helping people motivate and appreciate their employees has become his purpose. He talks about his mascot, his motivation, and the voice that he has found from his work as one of the two very successful Carrot Guys. As you listen to this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast, ask yourself — as you enjoy the journey, what are you doing today to live the dream? When you know your answer, you will be able to hone your message and fine-tune your brand. If you can share the why of your work with your friends and your network, you will be able to stay focused and stay successful in your growing consulting business. As we wrap up our conversation, Chester shares some really great tips about the absolute importance of staying focused on your work, remembering your whys, and how you can find the consulting success you’ve been seeking as a result. You won’t want to miss out on the many ways that this advice has worked in his life, and you can hear all about it on this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast with Chester Elton.   Key Takeaways: [:20] Meeting Chester Elton — leadership expert, cultivator of thriving business culture and accomplished author.

As they charged more for their speaking events, they found that more important people started attending their sessions. When they started charging upwards of $20,000 per session, the CEO started showing up. As a result of their successful writing and speaking engagements, people began inquiring about the training options they offered. So once again the team tapped into their network, surrounded themselves with smart people and created a very successful training practice. Along pathway to success, Chester and Adrian have always been sure to keep their focus front and center. By remembering their why they have been able to continuously enjoy success and help people wake up in the morning to a job that they love. Chester talks about the inspiration he’s gained from Marshall Goldsmith, and you may find similarities between him and the mentors that you have chosen to surround yourself with as you pursue your consulting success. Chester is another example of the successful consulting truth that I constantly share — your network is the greatest tool that you have in your possession.   The Intentional Evolution of a Successful Business Creating a successful consulting business requires intentionality. Chester shares his story of the natural evolution of his business and points out that the key to success was the intentional effort that he and Adrian put into it. Again, the main and recurring theme of Chester’s success — like so many other consultants — is the network that he leaned on. The people that he surrounded himself with helped him to realize the success that he enjoys today. Chester notes that one of the greatest things he’s learned from his mentors is the mistakes that they have made along the way. Like him, there is no reason for you to make every common consulting mistake yourself — you can connect yourself to the best people in your industry and let them teach you, based on their experiences. You should also not be afraid to grow slowly, or be afraid to have patience with your company as you figure out how to meet your financial and timeline goals. If you feel like you’re rushing, have the confidence to step back and patiently work through the problems in front of you so that you can get it right. You’ll want to hear his advice to understand how it can work for you, too. This advice he shares may seem obvious, but it has made all the difference in Chester’s success — intentionality shows through in everything you do. If you want to write a best-selling book, write a really great book! The intentionality that you put into any of your work will show through, and the transition from expert writer to expert speaker, and then to expert trainer will be a very natural one. In addition to writing, Chester shares a second critical part of success, which is being very public about the work you are doing. You have to be willing to put yourself out there and connect with as many people as you can. LinkedIn is an excellent resource for building your network in any industry, and I hope you are using it to your full advantage. If not, listen to the challenge that Chester has for you to optimize your publicity and network opportunities, and you just may realize that there is more you could be doing to maximize the intentional success of your consultancy.   The Purpose Behind The Carrot Guys Having a purpose is endearing to people. For Chester, the work of helping people motivate and appreciate their employees has become his purpose. He talks about his mascot, his motivation, and the voice that he has found from his work as one of the two very successful Carrot Guys. As you listen to this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast, ask yourself — as you enjoy the journey, what are you doing today to live the dream? When you know your answer, you will be able to hone your message and fine-tune your brand. If you can share the why of your work with your friends and your network, you will be able to stay focused and stay successful in your growing consulting business.

At Atlassian, we create popular software tools to help every team unleash their full potential. We use our issue tracking tool JIRA to handle customer support issues from around the globe. As the business grew, we decided to move from a single server instance of JIRA to our JIRA Data Center product on AWS infrastructure to increase reliability, scale, and security. JIRA Data Center's requirement to use a shared file system caused us to try several in-house and third-party solutions prior to the availability of Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). We chose EFS for its performance, ease of use, automatic scaling, and out-of-the-box distribution capabilities. In this session, we discuss how Atlassian uses EFS to run JIRA Data Center. Topics include the technical architecture, how and why we chose EFS, our recommendations, and the lessons learned along the way.

Research Article Whitepaper - CEO Strategic Priorities - Innovation is top priority http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/450614/Downloads/CEO_Strategic_Priorities__Innovation_Is_Top_Priority.pdf (Free with no forms!) This podcast explores the strategic priorities of CEOs in today's environment of constant change. CEOs and business leaders need to juggle multiple priorities and concerns, those both immediate and potential. We conducted significant research across industry, geography, market and strategic intent to find out what the key issues are to be grappled with. There are many ways in which this can be tackled as an organisation, but the evidence points to the use for a purpose and values driven direction, and a focus on customer centricity as key enablers to success. A strategy which is led by the constantly changing demands of the buyer, and brings the workforce along both emotionally and logically, will increase performance.

This podcast identifies proven methodologies, approaches and latest thinking on evaluating and improving strategic leadership development and thus achieving higher performance on a personal, team and organisational basis. Investment in this area is increasing yet effectiveness and value is difficult to gauge. We explore the need for a more defined focus to ensure content and cultural alignment to organisational purpose, vision and strategic activity. Episode #2 - Executive Effectiveness
