Welcome to another enlightening episode of "Behind the Numbers," hosted by Dave Bookbinder. In this episode, we delve into the crucial topics of leadership, transformation, and culture with the dynamic Paul Epstein, founder of Win Monday and author of "Better Decisions Faster" and "The Power of Playing Offense." Paul shares his extensive experience from 15 years in the NFL and NBA, where he held various roles, including Chief Revenue Officer for the San Francisco 49ers. Paul also recounts his journey from the challenging beginnings with the LA Clippers, dubbed the "worst franchise in sports history," to breaking Super Bowl revenue records and opening Levi's Stadium. His experiences shaped his belief in the "playing offense" mindset in a defensive world, emphasizing the importance of making the next day your responsibility regardless of external adversities. One of the episode's highlights is Paul's insightful discussion on the difference between a team of leaders and a leadership team. He shares a powerful story from his time with the 49ers, where a shift from a "no-because" to a "yes-if" mentality transformed the team's approach to challenges, fostering collaboration and innovation. Paul also addresses the misconception that culture is solely top-down. He introduces the concept that "all culture is local," emphasizing that each individual can influence their immediate environment. By choosing warmth and positivity, employees at all levels can create a thriving culture, which Paul believes is a true competitive advantage. In addition, Paul touches on the return on investment (ROI) of leadership, highlighting the significant impact of employee engagement on organizational performance. He shares compelling data and personal anecdotes to illustrate how effective leadership and a positive culture can drive business success. The episode also explores Paul's role as the "WHY Coach" for the 49ers, where he helped individuals discover their purpose and values.

Who do you look up to the most? Is it a superhero from a comic book, a famous athlete, or a historical figure? We often forget the everyday heroes who quietly make a big impact on our lives.

The episode highlights the significance of authenticity, self-reflection, and making better decisions faster.

Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Prioritize imperfect actions over outcome The 4 C's of Better Decisions Faster Tackle your Most Valuable Decisions (MVDs) The head-heart-hands equation The practical power of values over purpose Episode Highlights: [04:19] Support others through shared experiences.  Drawing on past lessons, we can best support others facing similar challenges. [08:10] Prioritize imperfect actions over outcome. We are naturally afraid both of the unknown and of chances we didn't take. Prioritizing action over outcome through focusing on progress through imperfect steps rather than results. [11:38] The 4 C's of Better Decisions Faster Paul outlines the 4 C's of decision making as Clarity, Confidence, Conviction. And Courage – and each C builds upon the previous one in a natural progression. [14:29] Tackle your Most Valuable Decisions (MVDs) Paul notes we make 35,000 daily decisions but should focus on the few "Most Valuable Decisions" or MVDs with greater impact. [15:26] Evaluate you MVD with the head-heart-hands equation Identify your Most Valuable Decision or MVD. Then check in with your head (mindset), heart (authenticity), and hands (action) regarding that decision using his equation. [19:25] Confidence = Values x Action Your level of confidence increases based on how frequently values are lived out through actions over time. [29:34] The practical power of values over purpose Paul asserts that while a "why" is important, values provide a more concrete way to guide daily decisions and actions. [43:03] Stop drifting on default, and start living and operating by design.  Make choices in a deliberate, purposeful manner aligned with your true values and priorities.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Chief Impact Officer of PurposePoint, Paul Epstein.Paul Epstein, the author of the book "Better Decisions Faster," emphasizes that life and business are essentially a series of decisions and actions. Drawing from his experience as a sports executive and working with elite performers, he underscores the importance of being decisive and confident in making decisions. According to Paul, indecision is the worst possible decision, leading to inaction and missed opportunities.One of the key insights Paul shared is that highly successful individuals are comfortable with imperfect action. They focus on the process rather than solely on the outcomes. This approach, Paul believes, is a formula for building and sustaining unshakable confidence. He introduces the "head heart hands equation," which emphasizes the significance of purpose and how it drives sustained high performance.Leadership comes with its own set of challenges, particularly in maintaining high standards and integrity. Paul explains that confidence is built by consistently acting on one's values. He encourages individuals to identify their core values and act upon them consistently. He believes this is the key to building and sustaining confidence over time.Paul introduces an interesting analogy, comparing confidence to a dimmer switch. He explains that confident individuals approach each day with the mindset of improving their confidence level, incrementally increasing it. This gradual adjustment of confidence levels resembles how a dimmer switch works.Key Points from the Episode:Importance of better decision-making in business and lifeThe role of decisiveness and taking action in achieving success and happinessThe concept of imperfect action and focusing on the processThe "head heart hands equation" for building unshakable confidenceThe significance of purpose in driving high performanceMaintaining high standards and integrity as a leaderSustaining confidence over timeBalancing consensus and decisive actionThe importance of confidence in organizations and its impact on various aspectsAbout Paul Epstein:Paul Epstein boasts an impressive 15-year career in professional sports management, having worked with several NFL and NBA teams, a global sports agency, and the NFL league office.

Better Decisions Faster: Unshakable Confidence When You Need It Most by Paul Epstein Paulepsteinspeaks.com “Your ultimate guide to confidence and courage—one decision at a time.” —Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author of The Five-Second Rule and The High 5 Habit Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith Make better decisions faster with the Head + Heart = Hands Equation The average adult makes more than 35,000 decisions in a day. Most are mundane, but there are a handful that separate businesses that boom or bust, careers that succeed or fail, relationships that make it or don't, and lives of happiness or hopelessness. These most valuable decisions (MVDs) represent the gap between a green-light life and a red-light life. In more than fifteen years as an NFL and NBA executive, Paul Epstein saw firsthand how, when faced with such an overwhelming number of decisions, even elite performers can rush to bad judgments or become paralyzed by indecision. In Better Decisions Faster, he draws from the green-light wisdom of Fortune 500 CEOs, Olympians, Shark Tank entrepreneurs, world-record holders, Ivy League professors, and Navy SEALs to reveal a revolutionary new system for maximally efficient and confident decision-making. The solve is the Head + Heart = Hands Equation—Head (mindset) + Heart (authenticity) = Hands (action)—which taps into the three most primal and powerful aspects of our humanity to tackle such MVDs as: » Strategy: A or B? » Job: stay or go? » Deal: do it or don't? » Team: hire or fire? » Financial: invest or pass? » Time: spend on X or Y? » Relationship: in or out? You're just moments away from making these decisions better, faster, and with unshakable confidence. The playbook is in your hands.

This one was a challenge... I'm trying to summarize the episode you'll hear with Adam Lawrence and explain why you would want to tune in. Ironically, of the key takeaways from the conversation is that words can be very limiting, especially when dealing with challenges that involve complex intangible human experiences. This is why you see many other, richer forms of communication being used in service design. We love to visualize, prototype with LEGO and even act things out. And what we find is that these forms of communication, which look deceivingly playful to outsiders, lead to better and faster decision-making. It's not just about being more effective either; by focusing on words as the primary way of communication, we exclude those who could contribute meaningfully through other expressive means. However, as I'm sure you know, not everyone feels comfortable with these alternative forms of communication, even though they are more effective and inclusive. Many organizations crave certainty, logic, and definitive answers, leaving little room for ambiguity. This brings us back to the conversation with Adam. We delve into why non-designers hesitate to embrace richer forms of communication and the fears and anxieties associated with it. And how can we lead by example to create a pull effect rather than imposing our methods dogmatically onto others. So, all in all, we cover a lot of ground in a conversation where we advocate for using fewer words :) A standout message for me was when Adam said that the riskiest thing a business can do is stick to the status quo. Enjoy the episode, and keep making a positive impact. --- [ 1.

Wouldn't it be great if... Delivering a great customer experience wasn't just a "nice to have" when there's time left but an actual strategic priority that guides decision-making? I'm sure you know many examples of (expensive) service failures that could have been prevented if the voice of the customer had been part of the conversations inside the company. Of course, this is precisely one of the things we try to achieve with service design. The problem is that we often don't yet have the authority to drive critical decisions. So no matter which arguments we bring forward when push comes to shove, in the end, it's always going to be the "HiPPO" in the room that calls the shots. Wolfram Thurm and his team were also running into this challenge. It was hard for them to get the value of design across so that other business stakeholders would see the benefits for them. Consequently, many times decisions were made that weren't in favor of the customer and the business. To the frustration of everyone involved. Fueled by this frustration and the opportunity to improve, Wolfram set out to find a way to structurally have better conversations inside the organization. After quite a journey, they managed to design a company-wide tool that now allows everyone to make better decisions faster. In this episode, Wolfram shares everything about the tool they created, how they use it, and the struggles they had to overcome to get here. --- [ GUIDE ] --- 00:00 Welcome to episode 155 03:30 Who is Wolfram 06:30 Lightning round 10:00 What are design principles 12:00 Where did it start 17:45 Living the principles 22:45 What's in it for them 26:00 Bottom up or top down 29:30 When do you use them 34:30 The Gojek design principles 37:30 Supporting case studies 40:00 The workshop 43:45 Who owns this 47:45 Second iteration 51:45 Are there shortcuts 57:00 Where do you start 1:00:30 Finding the mandate 1:04:30 Key advice 1:06:45 Closing thoughts --- [ LINKS ] --- https://www.linkedin.com/in/wolfram-thurm-1337b2a7/ Creative Confidence (book) - https://amzn.to/3aIB26U The Shape of Design (book) - https://amzn.to/3RG8zz8 --- [ CIRCLE COMMUNITY ] --- Learn more about the community for in-house service design professionals. https://servicedesignshow.com/circle

What You'll Learn From This Episode: Getting that 'freedom' from your business Taking a 2-minute alone time Importance of self-reflection Related Links and Resources: If you go to www.drawincustomers.com/scaleology/, there's a free copy of "The Bold Business Book" audio, a link to all the podcasts, and the 60-second business growth snippets. Summary: James Kademan is the author of The BOLD Business Book, The Awesome Book and You Got This. He owns Calls On Call Extraordinary Answering Service as well as Draw In Customers Business Coaching. He also chats entrepreneurs up on his podcast, Authentic Business Adventures. Here are the highlights of this episode: James and his team usually dealt with those who are starting out in the service sector; whether that's painter, plumber, accounting, etc. or simply those who need to do something for someone. We always hear people say about their desire to get "freedom" in which we typically hear from entrepreneurs. Those who wants freedom in their own business but end up being trapped. They start to feel the frustration, getting overwhelmed, or they feel like they work so much every single day but they still believe that they didn't advance their goal in their business. When these folks try to solve the problem, the solution may be temporary or it's not scaleable, plus it takes so much of their time. James shared with us that recently someone reached out to him and asked for help. He then realized that it's not a business question problem that she has, it's more of a mindset of not believing in herself. In order to get out of your own way to accomplish the goals that you want, you need to figure out clearly what you want.  James' Valuable Free Action (VFA): He advises everyone to take two minutes alone and think about what they want 3 years down the road. And if doing what they're doing in the past 2 years will get them there, then that's great. If not, you have to decide what you are willing to do to change that. Whether it's having a coach, reading a book, or taking a bold step to get what you really want.
