What if your employees appear engaged, but aren't truly committed? In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli speaks with Dave Garrison, an experienced CEO, board member, and author of The Buy-In Advantage: Why Employees Stop Caring and How Great Leaders Inspire Commitment. Drawing on his work with companies like Ameritrade and his experience advising leaders across sectors, Dave explains why engagement metrics are often misleading—and how leaders can create the conditions for real buy-in.The conversation begins by examining the gap between how leaders think about motivation and how people actually commit to meaningful work. Dave offers a compelling distinction between surface-level engagement and genuine buy-in, the kind that drives ownership, initiative, and sustained performance. He challenges the assumptions behind many well-intended leadership practices and makes the case for a more human, purpose-driven approach.Together, Mahan and Dave explore how leadership habits—especially those rooted in control or speed—can unintentionally suppress the very commitment leaders are trying to cultivate. Dave shares practical ways to shift the dynamic: asking catalytic questions, reframing roles, and creating environments where people feel seen, heard, and responsible for the outcomes they help shape.This is not a conversation about perks or communication plans. It's about understanding the deeper dynamics of commitment in today's evolving workplace—and how great leaders create clarity, connection, and accountability. Whether you're leading a boardroom, a leadership team, or a transformation effort, this episode will reframe how you think about performance, trust, and the leadership behaviors that unlock both.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why engagement scores can mislead leaders—and what they fail to measure about actual commitment.Hear how high-performing leaders create emotional buy-in that drives discretionary effort, not just attendance.Discover why most organizations leave their team's passion and ownership “in the parking lot,” and how to bring it into Monday morning meetings.Learn what questions to ask that help people feel valued, challenge assumptions, and inspire initiative.Hear how the most effective leaders reframe their role from directive to catalytic—without sacrificing speed or results.Understand why buy-in starts before the hire and how purpose and values can shape more successful recruiting.Explore how to lead through uncertainty as a Chief Reassurance Officer, and why clarity and repetition matter more than inspiration.Learn how to avoid the common leadership trap of solving problems too quickly—and what to do instead to spark commitment.Connect with Dave GarrisonDave Garrisson Website The Buy-In Advantage Book Dave Garrison LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Welche Rolle spielen Unternehmertum, Technologie und Familienzusammenhalt bei der Lösung globaler Herausforderungen? Und wie kann eine regenerative Perspektive auf Wirtschaft und Arbeit aussehen, wenn sie sich an den planetaren Grenzen orientiert – so wie es Frithjof Bergmann mit seiner Vision von „New Work“ gemeint hat? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen.

Hier gehts zum Beitrag ►► https://passives-einkommen-mit-p2p.de/p2p-baltikum-risiko Hier kannst du der Community beitreten ►► https://bit.ly/p2p-community Immer wieder taucht in euren Kommentaren eine Frage auf, die viele P2P-Investoren beschäftigt: Wie sicher sind eigentlich unsere Investments im Baltikum wirklich? Besonders seit dem Ukraine-Krieg ist die Sorge groß, dass Russland als nächstes auch die baltischen Staaten ins Visier nehmen könnte. Tatsächlich erreichten mich zuletzt auch zahlreiche persönliche Anfragen, in denen Anleger wissen wollten, wie risikoreich ein starkes Engagement in Estland, Lettland oder Litauen tatsächlich ist. Eure Befürchtungen sind nachvollziehbar, denn viele P2P-Plattformen haben ihren Sitz genau in diesen Ländern – doch Firmensitz allein sagt nicht alles aus! Entscheidend ist, wie stark die Plattformen tatsächlich in der Region verwurzelt sind. Vergeben sie Kredite hauptsächlich im Baltikum oder vielleicht doch weltweit? Ist ein Bürostandort in Litauen wirklich ein Risiko, wenn die eigentliche Geschäftstätigkeit in Spanien, Kroatien oder Asien stattfindet? Und was ist mit den Servern? Um euch endlich fundierte Antworten zu liefern, habe ich das Szenario „Russland greift das Baltikum an“ einmal konkret durchgespielt und meine wichtigsten Plattformen darauf untersucht. Ziel: Herauszufinden, wie viel meines Kapitals im Ernstfall wirklich gefährdet wäre. Spoiler vorab: Die Ergebnisse könnten einige von euch überraschen!

Trinity College Dublin's Front Square was the site of this morning's official launch of IrelandQCI's Quantum & Answers Trailer, an innovative mobile engagement unit designed to bring quantum technologies to life for the Irish public. The Irish government was represented by Patrick Neary, Assistant Secretary - Communications at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, the co-funder of the IrelandQCI project, who was joined by Professor Linda Doyle, Provost of Trinity College Dublin, Dr Deirdre Kilbane, IrelandQCI Project Lead and Director of Research at the Walton Institute, South East Technological University (SETU), John Regan, Managing Director of ESB Telecoms and IrelandQCI consortium partner and Professor Dan Kilper, Director at CONNECT Research Ireland Centre for Future Networks. IrelandQCI is a €10 million project aiming to build a national quantum infrastructure for Ireland as part of DIGITAL Europe's EuroQCI, an EU-wide quantum communications infrastructure programme. The goal is to secure critical infrastructure against the threat of cybersecurity attacks due to advances in quantum computing power. The EuroQCI initiative is co-funded by the Irish government's Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications and the European Commission and includes 26 EU member states. Led by Walton Institute at SETU on behalf of CONNECT Research Ireland Centre, IrelandQCI is made up of a consortium of academic and industry partners, including six national universities, ESB Telecoms and HEAnet. IrelandQCI is developing a quantum key distribution (QKD) infrastructure along a major network backbone connecting Dublin to Cork via Waterford. This will integrate cutting-edge quantum technologies with existing classical fibre systems to future-proof Ireland's communications networks against cyber threats. A highlight of this initiative is the IrelandQCI Quantum & Answers Trailer - an interactive mobile unit designed to demystify quantum science. Funded by the European Commission and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications and supported by the CONNECT Research Ireland Centre, the trailer features hands-on experiments and interactive demonstrations to help the public better understand quantum concepts and their real-world applications.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science James Lawless TD has officially launched the Springboard+ 2025 programme, announcing almost 8,000 free and subsidised places on higher education courses. The initiative offers thousands of opportunities for people across Ireland to upskill or reskill, with a strong focus on 'futureproofing' careers in a rapidly evolving job market. Announcing this year's programme, Minister Lawless said: "Springboard+ is one of the most impactful investments this Government makes in the further education of its people. These courses are designed to respond directly to evolving skills demands, particularly in fast-growing and high-impact sectors. It offers thousands of learners the chance to upskill or reskill in areas where Ireland needs talent, from artificial intelligence to infrastructure planning to cybersecurity. "As Minister, I'm proud to support Springboard+ with €34.4 million from the National Training Fund. This programme empowers people to study alongside work and personal commitments with courses that are heavily subsidised or free, making upskilling more accessible and achievable for everyone. I encourage everyone to look at what is available as whether you're advancing in your current career, pivoting to a new one, or stepping onto the career ladder for the first time, Springboard+ is designed to open doors in an affordable, flexible way that has real career impact." This year, courses are available in areas such as Infrastructure planning, Sustainable Building, Renewable Energy, Digital Skills, Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence. Two-thirds of people considering a Springboard+ course want to 'futureproof their careers' in an ever-changing workplace. That's according to research published today by the Higher Education Authority (HEA). The Springboard+ programme is funded by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science and in 2025, a total of 7,719 places are available on 249 courses delivered by 37 higher education institutes nationwide. Springboard+ is making 26 'micro-credentials' from this course list available for those interested in shorter courses to upskill in very specific areas. Speaking about this year's programme, Dr Vivienne Patterson, Head of Skills, Engagement and Statistics at the Higher Education Authority, said: "There are many reasons to consider a Springboard+ course, but the two key benefits are the cost and the quality. "If you're eligible to apply for a full- or part-time Springboard+ course, the most you'll pay is 10% of the fees. If you're currently out of work, you'll be 100% subsidised through the Springboard+ programme. The micro-credentials courses, which last around 12 weeks, are 50% subsidised for all participants. "And in terms of the quality of the course and the qualification at the end of it - courses range from Certificate (Level 6) to Masters (Level 9) on the National Framework of Qualifications and are delivered by the best public and private higher education providers around the country." Sean McCaffrey, from Dundalk, spent 16 years in the Irish Defence Forces before completing a Certificate in Procurement Management from University College Cork and a Post Graduate Certificate in Sustainability Leadership in Business from Technological University Dublin. He now works for Iarnród Éireann. "I left school at 18 without completing my Leaving Certificate. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, so I joined the Irish Defence Forces, where I spent 16 years. After leaving, I decided to pursue my first Springboard+ course - a Certificate in Procurement Management from University College Cor,k after which I was offered a job in Iarnród Éireann - a job I wouldn't have been in the running for only for my Springboard+ course. "I saw tangible benefits immediately, so it was a no-brainer to start a level nine Post Graduate Certificate in Sustainability Leadership in Business from...

After 20 years in automation and controls engineering, Danny Murphy received a call from a local community college that would bring his journey full circle—back to the kind of impact his own high school electronics teacher once had on him. Today, he's a nationally recognized educator, named A3's 2024 Educator of the Year, and he's redefining what hands-on learning can look like in a modern mechatronics lab.In this episode, Danny shares how early challenges in the classroom led him to move beyond textbook instruction and introduce student-designed projects with real-world relevance. From programming robots to serve cereal and slice cake to engineering capstone challenges with custom tooling, his students are learning by doing—and developing the kind of technical and creative skills that employers notice.What began as a simple effort to share classroom activity on LinkedIn and Instagram has evolved into a powerful tool for student opportunity. With over 30,000 followers on Instagram and 11,000 on LinkedIn, Danny's short, engaging videos have led to direct job offers for students, new partnerships with engineers and PhDs, and a growing network of industry engagement. The results are tangible: students getting hired, programs gaining visibility, and technical education reaching far beyond the classroom.Listen to learn:How to transition from lecture-based teaching to hands-on, student-driven projects that boost engagementWhy adding creative freedom to technical labs leads to better retention and real-world problem-solvingA simple video strategy on LinkedIn or Instagram that can directly lead to student job offersWhat educators should consider before posting student work onlineHow showcasing student work publicly can attract industry partners and grow your program's reputation3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Student-designed projects increase both engagement and retention. Danny's students learn core concepts like user frames and loops by designing their own robotics challenges—whether it's scooping cereal or slicing cake. This creative freedom forces them to problem-solve, adapt, and truly understand the material, rather than just following instructions.2. Social media is a powerful tool for connecting students to real opportunities. By consistently posting short, authentic videos on LinkedIn and Instagram, Danny has helped at least six students get hired directly from what industry partners saw online. These platforms have become an extension of the classroom—offering visibility, credibility, and direct links to the workforce.3. Giving students real-world skills—and a teacher who believes in them—can change their lives. From project-based labs to job-ready training, Danny's classroom gives students more than technical knowledge; it gives them confidence, purpose, and a path forward. For many, it's the first time they've been truly seen for what they can do—and that recognition can be life-changing.Connect with Danny on Social Media:Instagram | LinkedInDon't forget to Ask Us Anything!We want to hear from you!

Bienvenue sur la Radio Circulab (ex Activer l'Economie Circulaire) Cette semaine, Brieuc reçoit Bénoni Paumier, un invité dont le projet est pour le moins surprenant, mais terriblement utile.Enregistré en plein cœur du Parc Floral de Vincennes, lors de la Reuse Economy Expo, cette nouvelle conversation explore un sujet rarement abordé dans l'économie circulaire : le reconditionnement des jouets intimes. Bénoni, ingénieur matériaux chimie de formation et aujourd'hui à la tête de Rejouis, nous plonge dans cette aventure, démarrée en 2023.Avec une très forte démocratisation de leur usage (51% des Françaises et Français ont déjà essayé un "sexual wellness product" en 2021, contre 10% en 2007), les sextoys posent un énorme problème environnemental. Ils sont majoritairement fabriqués en silicone (difficile à recycler) et contiennent beaucoup d'électronique, de batteries lithium-ion, de terres rares et de cuivre, rendant leur réparation quasiment impossible. Beaucoup finissent simplement jetés discrètement.Rejouis propose donc une solution concrète pour remettre ces jouets en utilisation, en créant une industrie du reconditionnement fiable et professionnelle. Le processus inclut un nettoyage et une désinfection rigoureux, basés sur des protocoles équivalents à ceux des sondes gynécologiques utilisées en milieu hospitalier. Cette approche rassure le public, y compris les professionnels du milieu médical qui sont particulièrement réceptifs.Au-delà de l'aspect environnemental (allonger la durée de vie des produits, ne pas alimenter la production de neuf made in China), Rejouis a un impact social important. En offrant des prix 30 à 50% moins chers que le neuf, le projet rend l'exploration intime accessible à un public plus large, y compris les personnes à revenus modestes. Il contribue également à lever les tabous autour de la sexualité, à promouvoir le bien-être intime, et même à aborder des sujets comme l'éducation au consentement ou la sexualité et le handicap.Les acteurs principaux de ce marché ont accueilli de manière très positive leur initiative (y compris des grandes entreprises comme Passage du Désir, partenaire de Rejouis), preuve qu'ils attendaient une telle solution face aux défis des déchets et du coût des produits. Vous découvrirez leurs projets à venir : développement de corners en boutiques partenaires, exploration de l'international, mais aussi innovation sur la revalorisation des matières (comme le silicone) et la réparabilité.Il est réellement possible d'appliquer les principes de l'économie circulaire dans un domaine inattendu, transformant un "déchet" en levier de discussion et de mieux-être sociétal.Pour aller plus loin : Baladez-vous sur notre site internet (tout neuf) ; Téléchargez nos outils sur la Circulab Academy ; Inscrivez-vous à notre newsletter ; Envoyez-nous vos retours ou suggestions sur Linkedin : Justine Laurent et Brieuc Saffré.

In this conversation, Phil Brown discusses the nuances of training in challenge courses, emphasizing the importance of shared experiences and safety protocols. He recounts a near miss incident involving a participant and a helmet, highlighting the lessons learned and the need for vigilance among facilitators. The discussion encourages a culture of continuous learning. Facilitators should encourage discussions about impactful moments. Safety protocols must be adapted based on real experiences. Helmets can be both beneficial and problematic in certain scenarios. Vigilance is crucial when managing participants on challenge courses. Facilitators should practice lowering techniques before climbing. Sharing stories helps build a learning community. Anecdotal experiences can provide valuable lessons not found in manuals. Continuous learning is essential in the outdoor education industry. Engagement with the community can lead to shared insights and improvements.

On this episode of the Customers First Podcast, I welcome back Angie Robinson, a valued member of our Customers First family and a leadership development facilitator. Angie shares her rich background and journey from a successful corporate HR career to establishing her coaching business focused on empowering leaders through self-awareness and development. With over 25 years of experience in HR across various industries, Angie emphasizes her passion for people development and the importance of honing in on what brings joy and impactful results within organizations. We dive deep into Angie's insights on the pivotal role of self-awareness in effective leadership. As we explore the framework she introduced in previous episodes, we focus on her three keys to leadership magic: Character, Confidence, and Connection. Angie articulates how self-awareness serves as the foundation for these principles, allowing leaders to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and intrinsic impacts on their teams. The conversation shifts to the specifics of each key. First, Angie discusses Character as the core of self-awareness, underscoring the importance of understanding one's values, beliefs, and behaviours. She reflects on how this self-reflection can unveil blind spots and lead to intentional decisions that enhance leadership effectiveness. As we delve into Confidence, Angie challenges the misconception that seeking support for self-doubt equates to weakness. Instead, she advocates for a grounded trust in oneself despite uncertainties. She highlights the inner dialogues that can hinder our confidence, encouraging listeners to recognize and confront these limiting beliefs. Finally, we wrap up with Connection, which Angie emphasizes as a fundamental human need and a critical component of authentic leadership. She explains how meaningful relationships with ourselves and others foster trust and psychological safety in the workplace. By connecting deeply with both ourselves and our teams, we create an environment that promotes collaboration and shared growth. Angie concludes with a strong reminder of the importance of integrating these three keys into everyday leadership practice, suggesting that they're interconnected and reinforce one another. This episode not only expands on how to cultivate impactful leadership but also challenges listeners to reflect on their practices and commit to personal and professional growth. Tune in to gain actionable insights and hear Angie's unique perspective on creating a culture where leadership development thrives.

These three previously recorded videos from Coach Karena are must-watches for content creators.Posting frequency alone won't boost visibility; focus on strategic positioning & meaningful engagement instead. Avoid common mistakes like sharing only facts without insights, which attracts non-action-taking 'content hoarders'. Shift audience beliefs to inspire action by emphasizing the costs of inaction.Implement a three-part visibility formula: 1) Clear positioning & messaging, 2) Engagement-driven content to spark discussion, 3) Prioritize quality & consistency over sheer volume. Daily posting isn't necessary; quality relationships outweigh follower counts for generating sales. Target 3-4 impactful posts weekly.Engagement requires proactive interaction from creators—engage with audience to receive engagement in return. Analyze input from DMs, comments, and competitor content to understand audience needs. Focus on active platforms where your audience enjoys participating.

News: Broadcast Schedule's New Paradigm 75% of Streamers Have Tried an Ad-Supported Plan Google TV users will soon be asked to rate apps Viewers can now add Apple TV+ to a DIRECTV subscription Top Streaming Services Change Up Strategies A Business Insider article suggests the streaming wars have shifted from competition to strategic alliances and distinct priorities. Netflix now prioritizes engagement over subscriber numbers, revamping its homepage with vertical video to rival YouTube and TikTok. Disney focuses on subscriber growth through bundles with Hulu and ESPN, aiming for profitable expansion. Warner Bros. Discovery's Max emphasizes profitability, leveraging high-quality content to retain subscribers rather than competing with Netflix's scale. Engagement is key as streamers build ad businesses. Netflix, with 8% of U.S. connected TV watch time, uses engagement to reduce churn and support its $2.2 billion ad business. Amazon's Prime Video scales ads by enabling them for all users unless they opt out, using shopping data to boost ad effectiveness. While Netflix and Amazon focus on engagement for ads, Disney, Paramount+ (79 million subscribers), and Peacock (41 million) prioritize subscriber growth, though neither is profitable yet. Profitability is critical for WBD, which has cut Max's content spending to focus on financial sustainability, leveraging HBO's legacy content. Its bundling with Disney+ and Hulu supports international growth. Apple TV+ faces high churn due to its limited library, leaving its strategy unclear. As streamers balance growth, engagement, and profitability, alliances and niche strategies redefine success in a crowded market. Home Theater System for under $2000 Ok so you bought a house and spent all your money but you already had a 70” TV from your previous home. And while that has been great you want something more out of your TV watching experience. Somehow you scrape together a $2000 budget and want to know what kind of “Home Theater” System you can cobble together to provide you with immersive surround sound. For this exercise we are assuming a typical living room (e.g., ~15x20 ft) and a focus on movies and general entertainment. We will emphasize value and performance while keeping the setup beginner-friendly. Key Considerations Room Size: Our medium-sized living room can benefit from a 5.1 or possibly a 5.1.2 (Dolby Atmos) setup for surround sound. We have chosen to stay with a 5.1 system for budget concerns. Priorities: Clear dialogue, deep bass, and immersive surround effects are key for movies and gaming. Music performance is secondary but still considered. Components: You'll need an AV receiver, speakers (front, center, surrounds), a subwoofer, and a streaming device. Setup: We opted for wired speakers for reliability and cost savings over wireless systems, which can eat into the budget. Recommended System AV Receiver: Denon AVR-S760H 2021 Model ($500 from Amazon) We are on a budget so a 2021 model that does everything you need for a small family room on a budget is absolutely the right call here. Don't overlook last year's models on your A/V equipment. No one will walk into your house and whisper about last years (or four years ago) model behind your back. This is a 7.2-channel receiver with 75W per channel, supporting 4K/120Hz, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and room calibration (Audyssey). It's versatile, beginner-friendly, and handles modern formats for movies and gaming. 6 HDMI inputs (3 with 8K support), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and HEOS for streaming. Refurbished units can save even more. Speaker System: RSL CG3M 5.1 home theater system ($850 Direct from RSL) We splurged a little on the speakers. The CG3Ms will not disappoint! We have been fans of RSL since we had Joe Rogers on the show about 15 years ago. He is a musician and understands what music is supposed to sound like and has designed speakers with that in mind. This compact speaker system will put you right in the middle of a concert or movie! You really can't get better at this price. The 300 watt 10” subwoofer is plenty for your small to medium sized family room. Speaker Wire and Cables: Monoprice ($50 Budget) Pretty much from day one we have been saying buy good cables but don't spend a lot of money doing so. $50 at Monoprice goes a long way for your Speaker and HDMI cables. Streaming Device: ($150 Budget) A streaming device enhances your home theater by providing access to all kinds of entertainment options, including Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+,and YouTube. These dedicated streaming devices offer faster performance, regular software updates, and broader app compatibility. They also support advanced features like 4K HDR, Dolby Atmos, and voice control, elevating your viewing experience with superior picture and sound quality. Additionally, devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Apple TV are portable, affordable, and easy to set up, making them a versatile upgrade for any home theater, regardless of your TV's age or brand. Sales Tax: $90 - $150 Unfortunately we can't forget the tax man. There are a few places in the US that do not have a sales tax and other areas range from 6% up to 10%. Total Cost: ~$1,640-$1,700 This leaves ~$300-$360 for a programmable remote, Atmos, or height speakers. Or a year of a new streaming service. This system balances cost, performance, and future expandability, delivering an elevated experience for your new home without breaking the bank.

Transforming How We Work: Rethinking Operating Models with Jen from Talk Point Advisory Group In this thought-provoking conversation, I sat down with Jen from Talk Point Advisory Group, a boutique consulting firm that helps organizations reimagine and revitalize how they operate. We dove deep into the often-overlooked world of operating models — the blueprint behind how work gets done — and why companies need to stop letting these frameworks evolve by default. Rethinking How Work Gets Done Jen and I explored how an organization's operating model influences everything from decision-making to resource allocation. She shared powerful insights about making these models more intentional, especially when “invisible rules” — embodied by figures like the mythical “Beth” who holds power without a title — shape how teams function. I emphasized that when organizations fail to design and adapt their operating models, they often become the next cautionary tale — a statistic in the high failure rate of businesses unable to pivot in a changing market. Legacy Systems vs. the Digital Future Too often, companies bring in top talent with high hopes but then box them into outdated systems. Jen and I discussed how legacy organizations must shift from rigid, project-based structures to nimble, product-focused approaches. This isn't just about upgrading systems — it's about transforming culture, developing new skill sets, and staying laser-focused on customer experience. Because in this fast-moving digital age, survival depends on relevance. Breaking Down Silos: A Lesson from 3M We've all seen the damage siloed thinking can do. I shared how industrial-age approaches, like those once used by GM, keep innovation locked behind walls. Jen illustrated how companies like 3M broke free — giving employees space to experiment, leading to inventions like the Post-it Note. This isn't just a story about sticky paper; it's a testament to the power of cross-functional freedom and creative autonomy. Collaboration That Fuels Innovation Jen highlighted the power of horizontal collaboration in successful product teams. Drawing inspiration from NASA's Apollo 13 mission and our everyday digital tools, she emphasized how solutions to complex problems emerge when different disciplines truly work together — not in silos, but side-by-side. The Overlooked Power of Marketing In one of my favorite moments, I admitted I wish I had focused more on marketing in college — it's that essential. Jen and I talked about why marketing isn't just a department, it's a growth engine. When accounting and marketing speak the same language, businesses gain the insight to fuel smart investments and sustainable expansion — especially during challenging times like inflation or global uncertainty. Culture Drives Everything Culture isn't just a buzzword — it's the soul of your organization. I reflected on transforming a healthcare organization by simply listening and responding to what our people needed. Jen and I agreed: when organizations clarify decision-making and empower their teams, magic happens. Engagement rises, turnover drops, and performance soars. Fixing the Customer Experience (for Real) Improving customer experience isn't a quick fix — it requires rooting out the hidden obstacles: tech inefficiencies, outdated processes, and — you guessed it — silos. Jen walked us through how her team helps organizations simplify, streamline, and finally push past the 75% “stuck” point where so many give up. We wrapped up by underscoring the need for persistent effort and aligned support, and I encouraged our listeners to connect with Jen and the team at Talk Point Advisory Group for guidance.
