One of the many challenges a company faces when they begin the hiring and recruiting process, is understanding the true needs they have. We often times looked at things that we want and try to figure out what’s going to fit into those wants, but rarely do we take a step back and look at what we actually need in order to make a successful hire. Typically a company will bring in someone to fill the space that they want to fill. After three months, six months of being on the job, they discover it isn’t what they needed. We are going to unpack some of this on today’s episode of Employer Blueprint Podcast. As you listen to the episode there are three things that you should really be thinking about, and these will help you when trying to uncover the needs of your organization. These three tips will help you as you begin the hiring process and you look to fill a position in your organization.    Find the gap’s. Where are the spaces in your organization that aren’t getting filled in? What are the tasks that you have on your plate that are not being taken care of but someone needs to be focused on? If you are the hiring manager or owner, do not try to replicate yourself. Often times a business owner or leader will think that the best thing for their organization is a clone of themselves. Instead do an assessment of your strengths and weaknesses and hire someone who’s strengths fill in where you are weak.  What is going to benefit your company most? What is going to benefit your company, and fill a long-term need?   The Employer Blueprint podcast is proud to present Sasha Laghonh. Sasha is a Business and Lifestyle Strategist, Founder, Speaker, Coach, Consultant, Entrepreneur, and Author. Sasha comes from a Management, and Administrative background that also focused on Marketing, however over time she found that Human Resources discovered her.

After the announcement of some exciting news from the Kelly Ann Harris Team, we have decided to re-share a previous episode of The Employer Blueprint Podcast. Recently Kelly Ann Harris and Kelsey Jarboe announced on Facebook that they have partnered to become the Harris Jarboe Group. Be sure to visit the Kelly Ann Harris Team Facebook page at the link below to find out all the details!  https://www.facebook.com/kellyanneharristeam/ On this weeks episode of the Employer Blueprint Podcast, we are excited to present The Kelly Anne Harris Team of Keller Williams Elite. 10 years ago, Kelly Anne Harris was a single mom living off credit card debt, had recently lost her job, and was about to lose her home. As she was trying to find employment during a terrible time in our country’s economy, Kelly Anne decided to become a Realtor for a best friend who was trying to find homes to flip for profit. During the first year in her new career path, as Kelly Anne recalls in the podcast, even though things were tough, she worked diligently to succeed and knocked on every door in her town. This continued until three years later Kelly Anne Harris was the number one Realtor in the area. The story of Kelly Anne Harris could end there with success and a happy ending except success wasn’t happy. In fact it was the opposite, when even though she managed to do 142 transactions that year with only herself and an assistant, Kelly Anne’s life was spinning out of control. She knew she had to do something because her health and her family life were suffering, and that was when Kelly Anne learned about a team concept being adopted by other Realtors while she was on a trip at a realtor convention. Kelly Anne decided to pursue this ideas of having a team of Realtors and she began doing research and visiting other offices who had already adopted the business model. One of Kelly Anne’s very first team members is also a guest on this weeks podcast, Kelsey Jarboe. After the addition of Kelsey, within a year and a half, the new Kelly Anne Harris Team was able to double the previous year to 242 transactions and 40 million dollars in production. The team concept has also allowed Kelly Anne to pursue other ventures such as an independent brokerage with multiple locations and a property management company. Currently the Kelly Anne Harris Team has multiple agents and two are on this weeks Employer Blueprint podcast with Kelly Anne. Kelsey Jarboe has been with the Kelly Anne Harris group since the beginnings of the team forming, and Denise Jarboe has been with the team for a year. Both Kelsey and Denise tell their stories from different perspectives on how they became involved in Real Estate and how much the Leadership of Kelly Anne Harris has changed their lives. You don’t want to miss this episode as Kyle dives into a lot of great topics while interviewing some very successful entrepreneurs who work by the motto, “you can teach skill all day, but you can’t teach hustle.”  To find out more about Kelly Anne Harris and the Kelly Anne Harris Team, or if you are looking to potentially start a new career in Real Estate and think a team environment would be right for you, visit  https://www.owensborokyrealty.com where you will find resources available including a careers section of the website.  Enjoy this weeks episode and be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any future episodes of The Employer Blueprint Podcast. 

Good morning everyone, happy Monday and you are tuned in to the Employer Blueprint Podcast. My name is Dedrick Jackson and I will be your host today. We have a very special episode and something I have been wanting to do for a long time now. Being that Kyle is away wrapping up some business after the Thanksgiving Holiday I have decided to put together a mashup of some of the regular content that is distributed to our social media platforms. As many of you know, Kyle often posts short educational videos to his LinkedIn and Facebook Pages covering a range of topics from How to Aquire Top Talent For your organization, How to Retain Employees, to even How to know when it’s right to Fire Employees. In this episode of The Employer Blueprint Podcast, you will hear the audio from some of these videos that have become so popular on social media.  Before we jump into that I would like to add something from my own personal experience. I met Kyle in 2013 when I interviewed for  job at what was then Gorman Recruiting and I feel like I not only acquired a boss that day but also a mentor and a friend. As many of you know, who have seen Kyle in person or on a video, he has a very recognizable feature being his beard. As I was setting in front of him during the job interview in 2013, I said to Kyle that if growing a beard was a requirement for the job, I was not his guy because I was not able to grow one. This doesn’t sound like something someone should say in a job interview and it could have been very weird, however the next week I found myself working in Business Development for Gorman Recruiting. During my time with Gorman recruiting I found a love for Marketing and content creation on social media, and even though this was not what I was hired for, Kyle supported me and encouraged me to follow my passion while still allowing my skills to play a role in his organization. Most importantly Kyle even supported me when I came to him and told him I didn’t want to work for him any longer and I wanted to start my own business. I say all of that to say this, Kyle is not one of those bosses that constantly pours Gatorade over his own head celebrating his victories. He is very human in his decision making, as noted by even hiring me in the first place, and he is a servant leader in how he manages his team. The bottom line of his business comes second to supporting his employees and making sure they are able to fulfill their dreams and accomplish their goals. Oftentimes Coaches and content creators fill their 1 to 2 minute spots with things they don’t practice, and if your like me you often wonder if they really believe in what they are talking about, or if they are trying to get likes and views by saying something that sounds good from an article they read. Let me met you know, and this is from someone who has seen him when the cameras are off, Kyle Gorman definitely practices what he preaches, in life, an in business. So enjoy the episode and be sure to search Kyle Gorman on LinkedIn for more weekly content, and also search Employer Blueprint on Facebook and LinkedIn as well to follow the pages and connect with Kyle. Thanks, my name is Dedrick Jackson owner of JustU Marketing and I approve this message!   https://www.linkedin.com/in/realkylegorman/ https://www.facebook.com/employerblueprint/ Song credit- Out of the Grey by Stephen Keech https://app.soundstripe.com/songs/5535

Many of us have experienced a poor work atmosphere and seen how management can have a direct effect on it. How can we, as managers and employers, prevent this from happening at our companies? Is there a foolproof solution to the issue? On this episode, Kyle Gorman shares some tactics for combating hostile and unproductive work environments. When you become a manager, you’ve got someone’s livelihood in your influence and you have to be selfless.- Kyle Gorman   Resources Take your mortgage business to the next level. Visit nextlevello.com for more information. Click here to schedule your free no-obligation Next Level Coaching Call: https://nextlevello.com/schedule   Three Things We Learned From This Episode Selflessness (05:24-06:05)When people take on the responsibility of management positions, they begin to have influence over the livelihoods of others. As such, it is crucial that they embody selflessness by prioritizing the needs of employees. Doing so not only helps to put your staff at ease, but will go a long way in creating an atmosphere in which people want to help with extra tasks- as opposed to just ‘getting the job done’. The importance of autonomy, sociability and recognition (07:01- 08:01)Kyle points out four important qualities of a successful working environment. These include knowing what’s expected of us, autonomy, sociability, and recognition. The first two hang in a delicate balance, but both are necessary. Sociability speaks to the need for human interaction, and recognition gives people the affirmation that their time and effort is valued. Appreciation (12:10-14:29)While it’s important to recognize good work and employees going above and beyond, it’s also vital to praise staff for getting the job done. Far too often, appreciation is reserved for only the most innovative or excellent work. Although praise for excellence is obviously important, recognizing when employees have done what was required is crucial when setting benchmarks. Everyone deserves to know that their work is appreciated. Whether employer or employee, it’s critical to remember that all people in an organization are just that: people. Qualities like empathy go a long way in building a supportive work environment. Applying the basics of what all people need to thrive in the workplace is an effective approach to ensuring a healthy dynamic between management and staff.   Guest Bio- Kyle Gorman owns and manages three distinctly different companies with one common vision, helping people thrive.

Business Playmakers podcast presents one of many special episodes where we go back to the beginning, when the sound quality wasn't as good, and remix. Proudly we would like to welcome Amanda Owen to the Business Playmakers podcast! Amanda Owen was multi year All State competitive softball player in high school, and that drive and passion led right into her professional career. Amanda went to college to pursue her passion in teaching special education and began her career in the school system, however Amanda always felt like there was more that she could do to give back to those with developmental disabilities. That experience led to the idea she had which later became the non-profit she founded and continues to lead today called Puzzle Pieces. Puzzle Pieces is an activity day center for individuals with special needs. Amanda’s passion and drive are very rare and infectious as well as inspiring. It was an honor for Business Playmakers to have Amanda on the show and we are certain that this show will not only be an inspiration to others as to what can be done to grow and drive business, but more importantly what can be done to give back to others and support a community.  www.puzzle-pieces.org Welcome to Business Playmakers, the podcast that meets with innovators, trailblazers, and leaders to learn about their experience and what success really means.

Business Playmakers is honored to present Adam Neel, the Administrative Pastor at Bellevue Baptist Church. After graduating from the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Business Administration, Adam and his wife moved to Orlando Florida where he began studying under someone he now considers a mentor, Dr. Charles McKinsey, and was on a path to fulfill his dream of attending the University of Oxford in England. Adam was accepted to attend and because of a family situation, decided not to go. He and his wife moved back to Kentucky so Adam could take care of family responsibilities and planned to attend University of Kentucky to study Law. This was not his passion but instead something he thought he wanted to do, and sacrificing his scholarship Adam left law school to pursue what was to be his calling in ministry.  Welcome to Business Playmakers, the podcast that meets with innovators, trailblazers, and leaders to learn about their experience and what success really means.
