Send us a textIn this episode you'll learn how brands like Jameson and Guinness invest in their future by entrusting their past to Archivists. It's exceptionally rare to get Diageo and Pernod Ricard to agree on anything (!) but the importance of brand archives is central to both Guinness and Irish Distillers. Eibhlin Colgan and Carol Quinn sat down in the Connoisseur Bar in the Guinness Storehouse to explain that a corporate archive is central to preserving and enhancing brand value. Archives can do so much, from providing insights for current marketing campaigns to informing CSR work to inspiring new product development with stories of previous successes/failures.Carol and Eibhlin share stories and tales from the past but explain how even modern start ups need to be thinking about creating an archive if they are to build value into the future.

Carol Quinn is the creator of motivation-based interviewing. She is an ‘Attitude Revolutionist'. With Carol's guidance, companies don't just grow; they evolve. Retaining satisfied customers and nurturing lasting loyalty takes work. You can make that work a little less challenging by using MBI to bring passionate, driven problem solvers into the organization. Hiring right is paramount.

Those are the people who have the skills and bring self-motivation. They have a knack for successfully addressing obstacles through their exceptional customer service and problem-solving. Many companies spend big $$$ on employee engagement only to ignore their shaky hiring foundation. Using MBI doesn't only improve the quality of hires—it leads to tangible results such as lower turnover, heightened retention, and a stronger bottom line. interviewer effectiveness is rarely measured. Without proper training, you might just hire a dud. It's a transformative mindset, and for any businesses out there, it's worth considering. Think about it; it's the motivation that pushes high performers to excel beyond their comfort zones. Those are the ones propelling your business to new heights!

"Being able to be action oriented is so important because people at the end of the day, they're hiring you to solve a problem." In an episode of the World at Work podcast, Cassie and I talk about the significance of being action-oriented during job interviews and on resumes. One of the most important things in an interview is sharing specific examples and experiences. Avoid providing hypothetical responses. By using acronyms like OAR (obstacle, action, and result) or PAR (problem, action, and result), job seekers can effectively structure their interview answers. There is also a lot of value I things like detailed data and metrics in resumes to showcase accomplishments. As technology has led to shorter attention spans, being specific and using storytelling helps candidates stand out and demonstrate their expertise, knowledge, and skills to potential employers. After listening to this episode, you will: Master the art of displaying an action-oriented approach in both interviews and resumes. Hone your ability to provide specific and compelling workplace examples and stories. Leverage the OAR/PAR acronym for generating structured and effective interview responses. Shift your focus from hypothetical answers to real-life experiences when discussing professional situations. Boost your credibility by showcasing your achievements through the use of data and metrics. Are you feeling frustrated and stuck trying to showcase your proactivity with just general examples in interviews and resumes? Break free from the status quo and discover how to effectively capitalize on your professional experiences to make a lasting impression. Reach out to Best Culture Solutions so we can help you proactively update your resume and prepare you for your next interview. "You can't take on leadership if you're not action oriented. It's all about taking action, taking the lead on something." Episode Highlights 00:02:12 - Tim defines action-oriented as the tendency to take action when problems present themselves, finding areas where you can positively influence things, and taking action on those items.  00:04:04 - Being action-oriented means that you are more likely to help organizations solve their problems, which is why employers are interested in candidates who demonstrate this trait.  00:07:47 - Carol Quinn's concept of an internal or external locus of control is useful for demonstrating action-orientedness, while questions about how candidates have solved problems in the past can provide opportunities to show how they take action.  00:13:36 - Job seekers should share specific stories, examples, and actions they took during the interview. Being afraid to share too much or being too high-level in responses can hurt the job seeker. Specificity is key to answering questions effectively and leaving a lasting impression on the interviewer.  00:15:01 - Specific examples are crucial in answering interview questions effectively. Hypothetical answers won't leave a lasting impression on the interviewer. Sharing the obstacle, action, and result is a useful acronym to follow during interviews. It's important to use specific examples of accomplishments on resumes too.  00:19:00 - Job seekers should use the OAR or PAR method when answering interview questions. The OAR method stands for Obstacle, Action, Result, and the PAR method stands for Problem, Action, Result. Using specific examples and actions is more effective than hypothetical answers.  00:21:08 - The action taken in a specific example is the most important part of an effective interview answer. The result is not as crucial as the action. Interviewers often ask hypothetical questions, but it's essential to provide specific examples. Using the OAR or PAR method can help job seekers prepare for interviews.

Today Jody and I are looking at how to hire and retain the right people. Everywhere you look, people are struggling to hire or keep employees. What can you do to avoid this pitfall? Everyone needs the right amount of the right people to run their business, but where do you start? What do you do if you don't have enough employees? You need to invest in fixing the problem. It may take time. It may take money. There are resources available and companies that help you find and hire the right employees. Let them work on getting people in the door so you can focus on keeping them there. How do you retain the right people? You invest in them from the beginning. Starting their first day, and every day after, let them know you care. Connect with them, invest in them, and value them from the beginning. Make them part of the process and help them understand they matter. Create an environment that appreciates and equips people. Then be intentional about implementing it. Be purposeful about building trust.  There are seasons you have to buckle down and focus to get yourself out of the situation you are in. Invest the time, energy, and resources to build your team, and be intentional about keeping them. Communicate how you invest in your team and follow through.Magical Vacation Planners is a worthwhile resource when it comes to planning a vacation. You can reach them at 407-442-2694.

In this episode you'll learn what it takes to make the opening of your own bar a reality.We've all done it, haven't we? Sat in a cosy corner of the pub and thought to ourselves... "I'd love to have my own bar". We all know it's an idle dream for most but many of us in the drinks industry still secretly harbour the ambition. But what does it take to actually make it happen? Well Kevin Demers from Montreal is an absolute authority on the subject as he made the jump from juggling bartending and professional Ice Hockey to opening his own bar, The Cold Room 5 years ago. The lessons he learned enabled him to follow up with El Pequeño and Parlement shortly after, giving a hat-trick of Canada's best bars. Now he consults on other bar openings and shares his knowledge and insights with us. We also welcome another guest to our "Desert Island" where they can choose to bring only one drink with them. This time we hear from Carol Quinn, the Archivist for Irish Distillers, (part of Pernod Ricard).

In episode 12 we talk to Carol Quinn from the Midleton Archive. With documents and artifacts dating back to the infancy of Irish Whiskey this valuable record has been a source of fascination, inspiration and education for whiskey makers and enthusiasts since Carol's work started approximately 10 years ago. Recently the Jameson employee records have been made available through the Ancestry website and these can be found at https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61942/. We talk about this collection, the way the archive influences the culture within Irish Distillers, and how the branding of whiskeys continues to be inspired by the labels of the past. There's a lot more to enjoy. It was a fascinating conversation in which we hear about the lives and the conditions of distillery workers in the previous centuries. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/celtic-whiskey-pod/message

Inget skotskt i glasen ikväll! Däremot en veritabel kraschkurs i Irländsk Whiskey – som varför de stavar med ett "e" i whiskey. Veckans ord skulle kunna vara death metal, eftersom vi pratar om grist.

Bara för de allra nördigaste, men jösses vilken bra bok det är: McGuire, E. B., Irish whiskey: A history of distilling, the spirit trade and excise controls in England (Dublin & New York: Gill and Macmillan & Barnes & Noble, 1973). Annars finner den uppnäste doktor Tjeder ingen översikt online om den irländska whiskeyhistorien som inte har en eller flera felaktigheter i sig.

I sat down with Carol Quinn, archivist for Irish Distillers in Midleton Distillery. We spent a morning inside the Distiller's Cottage having a chat about the old brands and distilleries that made up Irish Distillers Ltd. Have a listen in, Sláinte.

As someone who grew up in a “Powers house” - that is, a house that stocked a bottle of Powers “just in case” (in case of what was never made clear) I have come to understand the enduring love that people have not just for Powers whiskey, but for the Powers brand.   It is a storied brand, a beloved brand, a part of Irish history and an integral part of Irish whiskey past, present and hopefully future.   This enduring love for Powers started with the Powers family, the decisions they made, the way they treated their employees and the large imprint they left on their communities and country.   It may be more than 220 years since James Power first distilled his eponymous whiskey in John’s Lane in Dublin, and though his whiskey and the entire industry saw their fair share of ups and downs since then, demand for Powers is growing globally and I wager that the reason for this growth is bigger than the whiskey alone.   In this episode of Stories & Sips I share some of the stories I learned from my day with Carol Quinn, Irish Distillers Archivist at the Midleton Distillery where we pored over Powers memorabilia and whiskeys dating back more than 100 years to understand why we are still fascinated and excited by a brand and a whiskey that could have been left in the annals of history, yet today is going from strength to strength.   Sláinte.

Even for seasoned HR pros, hiring is hard. If you’re building a team to grow your organization, keep your culture alive, and serve customers, how can you make sure you hire the right people? We asked 2 pros for their tips. Listen for interviews with Carol Quinn, the queen of motivation-based interviewing, and Nick Martin, an organizational psychologist at Aon who’s rethinking assessments and selection.

Carol Quinn, CEO of Hire Authority and the Founder & Creator of Motivation-Based Interviewing Hiring is one of the most important decisions you will make as a CEO, Founder, Leader, or Manager.  Carol Quinn joins us this week to discuss Motivation-Based Interviewing (MBI), the importance of hiring, common mistakes, and important considerations when working through the interview process. Carol Quinn is CEO of Hire Authority and a national speaker with more than 30 years’ experience in interviewing and hiring. She has taught thousands how to hire High Performers using motivation-based interviewing. Questions Addressed What are the differences between motivation-based interviewing & behavior-based interviewing? How do you identify/reveal passion? What is the difference between an internal & an external locus of control? What's wrong with "one-upmanship" in the interviewing process What are companies doing when it comes to keeping track of data in their hiring process? How do you bring passion, attitude, and skills into the interview process? Key Takeaways Hypothetical questions create hypothetical answers With Behavior-Based Interviewing, the expectation is that past behavior will be indicative of future behavior. If you can hire somebody great one time, why can't you when using the same process, create consistency in hiring success? This question and the hit/miss hiring results led to the creation of MBI. MBI - designed to identify high performers - someone who will go above and beyond to get the best results High performers have great skills, passion, and attitude. You can hire someone with great skills, and they could be a poor, average, or high performer - It's not just about skills. The interview process has evolved.  MBI looks at what all high performers have in common. They have the Skill They have the Passion They have the Attitude (how a person responds to on the job challenges) Passion You cannot assess passion directly Interviewers have to get wiser about the questions they ask, they need to understand how to assess attitude & passion. Passion is usually tied to self-motivation Find out what the candidate likes doing the most - ideally, match this to the role. MBI includes a series of 5 questions that focus in on what the person likes doing the most, the least, etc. Weaknesses tell you about skill deficits and tell you about passion. Passion is not something you can teach. Passion helps you get through the adversity. Attitude The high performer's attitude reflects an internal locus of control, their attitude may be "I don't know how to do it, but, we can figure it out" - This is solution focused & empowering The high performer goes into a problem-solving mode They have an optimistic perspective that keeps them in the game This is a split second decision "I can't" or "I can" The "I can't" is representative of an external locus of control The "I can't" person begins a to build a case for why they cannot be successful. No one is pure "I can" or "I can't" Skill, Knowledge, IQ combined predict the successful hire approximately 7% of the time, while Attitude accounts for the remaining 93%. A hiring mistake can set you back, not only due to the cost of the hire, but the time that is lost. As interviewers, we want to be able to identify the high-performer despite their interviewing skills. CareerBuilder - 68% of employers surveyed struggle with interviewing. Interviewing for a sales role is one of the most interesting of all interviews because you have candidates who are prepared to interview & want the job as a sales professional, while at the same time, the interviewer wants to put someone in the role.  This can create significant risk. Many companies look at the cost per hire and average days to fill a role.  These metrics can lead to fast/cheap hires.  As a result, we miss on the quality of the hire. Quality of hire is the most important factor. It does not take any longer to evaluate the quality of a hire. (See link below) Short-term turnover is tied to the hiring process - MBI reduces short-term turnover by ~50% If you have a "quality of hire" problem, and you end up retaining low performers, you will create a culture problem. Attitude is 80% formed by age 5.  The person who has the attitude has to change it, not the employer. The #1 reason for the metrics - to motivate positive change in the hiring process. "Training is not going to fix what the interviewer missed" - Carol Quinn The average interviewer either (A) asks questions off the cuff, or (B) asks canned questions that are ineffective.  Show Links Hireauthority.com Hire Authority - free resources tab Phone Number - 561-231-0313 LinkedIn LinkedIn group Twitter Anniversary edition of MBI - Motivation-Based Interviewing - published by SHRM Thank you Thank you for rating and reviewing the podcast via iTunes, Google Play, or your favorite podcast platform.  Ratings & reviews help others discover the podcast - thank you for helping us get our message out to the community.

Catalyst Sale Service Offerings Growth Acceleration - Plateau Breakthrough Product Market Fit ---------------------- Subscribe to the Catalyst Sale Podcast Subscribe via iTunes Subscribe via Google Play Catalyst Sale In every business, in every opportunity, there is someone who can help you navigate the internal challenges and close the deal.  There is a Catalyst.  We integrate process (Catalyst Sale Process), technology and people, with the purpose of accelerating revenue. Our thoughtful approach minimizes false starts that are common in emerging markets and high-growth environments. We continue to evolve our practice based on customer needs and emerging technology. We care about a thinking process that enables results versus a process that tells people what to do.  Sales is a Thinking Process.

When you are searching for people to add to your staff, you have to have a wide approach.  Don't just post a job opening and hope the right person applies.  Finding the right person starts long before you have a job opening. Having the right contacts and relationships with a wide variety of people can lead you to the right person, so it is a good idea to meet people across different industries and professions.  At Disney World, we would carry a card to give to people we think would be a good fit at Disney.  Focus on getting well known in your community. Have a good relationship with high schools and colleges.  One of the best sources of new employees is right in front of you. Good people bring good people into the organization. If you have good employees already, turn to them to get referrals.  When it comes to hiring the right people, create obstacles in your interview process. Never judge the size of the obstacle. Consider their thinking process and the motivation behind their actions. Carol Quinn is the authority when it comes to hiring. Check out her book Don't Hire Anyone Without Me.  You may also consider including a scenario or a task in the interview process. For example, you may want to have a chef make a hamburger as part of the interview process. 

Too often, when we have a bad employee, we assume we made a great hire and something then went wrong with the employee. The truth is, you made a bad hire.  It is hard to admit, but it is true.  In this episode of Creating Disney Magic, we talk candidly about hiring and firing.  If you want to build a great culture, you have to face the truth about bad hires and put an end to it.  In this episode, we reference Carol Quinn and her book, Don't Hire Anyone Without Me.  To go deeper in this topic, listen to this interview I did with Carol Quinn on the Jody Maberry Show.  If you want to find out more about the upcoming event in Orlando, CLICK HERE. 

Lee Cockerell, retired EVP of Walt Disney World, and Carol Quinn, CEO of Hire Authority, team up to discuss hiring and employee motivation. 

Irish Whiskey's history has been written over centuries, but Carol Quinn has the unique task of preserving the history that was actually written down. The professional archivist has spent the last five years cataloging more than two centuries' worth of historic documents, photographs, and bottles from the distilleries that joined forces in 1966 to form Irish Distillers - and she's barely getting started. The stories hidden away in the Irish Whiskey Archive tell more than just the facts and figures ... they give today's whiskey lovers a glimpse of the people who helped put Irish Whiskey on the map.

During a recent visit to an upscale hotel, I asked the Bellman if there were a second luggage rack available for our room.  "I don't know", was all he said.  Can you imagine? Yes, you probably can because underwhelming service like that has become overwhelmingly common.  Most people will blame the bellman for having a bad attitude, or not caring. But it is not his fault.  Sure, he did have a bad attitude. And he did not care about guests of the hotel. But the responsibility is with the general manager. Some of the problem can be found in training, but most of the problem is in hiring. When you hire for skill, or simply hire to fill an empty position, you end up with a staff that doesn't care.  To deliver great service, you have to hire the right people. At Disney, I hired people to work in engineering, security, transportation, and other areas I have no skill in. But I was never hiring for skill. I was looking for motivation, attitude, and passion.   If you want to take a new approach to hiring, Carol Quinn is the person I trust. Check out her book, Don't Hire Anyone Without Me, or her website to find out more. 

Is there an "It" factor? Do some leaders just get it?  Yes, some leaders have it and some don't. But it is possible for you to learn it, enhance it, build it. You have to understand your impact on the people around you and consider leaving a legacy before you can get the It factor.  If you focus on it, you will eventually get it.  In this episode we mention Carol Quinn and her book, Don't Hire Anyone Without Me.
