What if the real reason your team isn't thriving isn't them—it's you? In this episode, Ashok sits down with Sel Watts, founder of Wattsnext and a trusted advisor to growth-stage executives, to talk about the blind spots that derail team performance. Sel shares why leaders often overengineer HR systems while neglecting the basic needs of their people—and why getting back to the fundamentals starts with brutal self-honesty. They explore why traditional job descriptions are outdated, how to rethink role clarity using "outcome profiles," and why consistency beats charisma when it comes to leadership. Sel also shares candid stories from the field—including one about a CEO who had zero emotional intelligence but ran a surprisingly stable company—and explains how tools like behavioral profiling can be powerful when used correctly (and not just shelved after a team offsite). Inside the episode Why leadership starts with self-awareness, not structure The “outcome profile” approach to defining roles clearly How to tell if someone's actually underperforming—or just misaligned What happens when leaders care more about process than people The surprising upsides of being consistent, even if you're not "warm" Why behavioral profiling tools are often wasted One-on-ones, All Hands, and rituals that only work when leaders believe in them Rethinking hiring decisions by starting with the org chart, not the title The cost of skipping reflection before replacing a team member A real-world example of a team where mutual accountability actually works   Mentioned in this episode Wattsnextpx - https://www.wattsnextpx.com Extended DISC - https://www.extendeddisc.org/ AcuMax - https://www.acumaxindex.com/ Myers-Briggs - https://www.themyersbriggs.com/en-US/Products-and-Services/Myers-Briggs Predictive Index - https://www.predictiveindex.com/ Entrepreneurs' Organisation (EO) - https://eonetwork.org/ Unlock the full potential of your product team with Integral's player coaches, experts in lean, human-centered design.

In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green is joined by HR specialist, Jackie Strachan from HR Tactics. Jackie's passion for creating better Human Resources outcomes stems from over 20 years' experience in the field and a drive for finding innovative solutions. Recruiting the ‘right' people, and keeping the right people is an ongoing challenge we all face when running any size business. If you do not have a recruitment process, then this episode is going to help you develop one, plus specifically guide you through how to advertise to recruit great people for your practice. The goal is to not be at the whim of people leaving your practice, where you have to recruit in a knee jerk manner. This always results in productivity headaches because when someone leaves you've got to spend time recruiting to get people on board and it takes time to train them and get them up to speed. Then if that first person that you've hired doesn't work out, you're back to square one. Jackie's HR career has seen her hold both operational and strategic HR management roles across a vast array of industry sectors including retail, financial services, child protection, professional services, dental, state emergency services, Department of Justice, agency recruitment and IT. Jackie is a Certified Professional Member of the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI), holds an MBA from QUT, a Cert IV in Training & Assessment, and accreditation as a facilitator of ‘Extended Disc' Psychometric Employee Profiling.

 “And I tried a number of things to keep the staff that I was employing, engaged and keep them staying working for me for the business longer. And I found over a period of time, what I was doing wasn't working. There was a gap in my skill set. And I didn't know what that gap was. And I remember having a conversation with the HR team at the time and saying, I don't know what I'm doing or what I need to do in order to change the results. But something needs to change.”TIME STAMP SUMMARY01:05 What exactly is coaching?04:10 The difference between coaching and mentoring08:11 Qualifications of being a coach 14:25 Mentoring is an important solution 18:37 The challenges of being a coach Where to find Carla Egan?LinkedIn               https://www.linkedin.com/in/employee-retentionWebsite               https://thecoachingdirectory.com.au/coach/carla-egan/  Who is Carla Egan? Carla Egan is the Head Matchmaker and Connector at The Coaching Directory, an online directory that lists qualified coaches, and a Leadership Coach specialising in employee retention.

Empower yourself – empower your “team”. Richie looks to level up and raise the bar investigating Saana’s methodology and her story. Check in.INSTAGRAM… saanakoljonenTWITTER… @SaanaKoljonenWEBSITE… www.saanakoljonen.com …how I went from “I’m not enough.” to  “What if I am enough?“to “Umm heck yeah, I definitely am!” to “Ok others need to know about this, too!“ I am Saana, and my name happens to be a mountain in Finland where I’m from, which is just a perfect illustration of my belief that we are all here to climb our own mountain, to reach our own best and see what we are capable of (and not your neighbors). I tested my limits in professional sports as a volleyball player until December 2018 came and swept my legs out from under me. Literally.During that long and unpleasant fight against a nasty bacterial infection in my ankle, I had to start letting go of my big dreams as an athlete. It felt like someone blew out the candles of my birthday cake before I got to do it.After that dark moment, I saw one of the candles flickering. The glimpse was a passion that was still alive within me. I gently coaxed the flicker to a flame… And to a bonfire. It is built on understanding and unlocking the power of our mindsets and the importance of authenticity in sports and life. Light up!   December 2018: I went from a professional athlete to a bed patient in one day. A long story short: I got a nasty bacterial infection in my ankle while I was living my dream and playing professional volleyball in France. I had to go through four surgeries, 4 months in bed, and a pretty surreal life change. Ok, very surreal. But it was damn real. Spring 2019: I stayed sane by staying active, not physically but mentally. Learning like a lizard. Ok that’s not a saying but it rhymes. I listened to podcasts, read books and articles, watched documentaries, took online classes and started working for Extended DISC Finland/Finxs Global basically from my bed in Finland.July 2019: I could not stay in Finland where my volleyball bubble is and I got a chance to  coach/learn more about the coaching side of volleyball at Colorado University of Boulder as a volunteer coach so I said YES, packed my bags and moved to Denver! Fall 2019: I kept working with the Sports Capacity Assessment we created with Extended DISC while working for CU and I realized more about the impact I can have in the (sports) world after sports as well… So I kept drumming the idea of authenticity, knowing yourself better, your personality and strengths, using time to do that inner / mindset work. So, other people would not need to underperform. They could thrive authentically! But then…

We work with business owners, nonprofit organizations, professionals, universities and community members who are facing challenges in their personal and professional effectiveness or want to reach their full capacity as a leader.​ ► Coaching filters out the static so you can focus on the key issues to unlock your full potential;  ► Coaching provides the support and accountability needed to gain clarity of what the most important issues are; ► Coaching finds the strategic approach that will address and ultimately achieve the desired outcome;  ► Coaching gets specific with step-by-step action plans to keep you moving forward. Businesses and individuals who pursue coaching are not bad people or even remedial in their work but good leaders who want to be great. I believe that positivity, creativity, and self-awareness are necessary for exceptional leaders to thrive in the workplace and in their community. Using our unique empathic leadership model for coaching, we will identify the unconscious incompetence that has had an impact on your cogency and create a plan to achieve your goals through accountability and support. The coaching relationship is not a quick fix or a magic wand solution. Long-term success requires long-term commitment. Therefore, it is recommended that a minimum of a one-year commitment to achieve the desired results. First, we assess your human behavior and then look at the intersection of your emotional intelligence (human condition). This approach establishes our coaching goals and leads to a 90-day action plan, to create the effectiveness & mastery to close the gap on any blind-spots identified in our process.

We are all in the mindset of making our businesses sustainable. Gary Vee says being the GOAT - The Greatest Of All Time - is the answer. So how do you become the GOAT? Here’s my secret sauce to success: Don’t Tolerate The Intolerable - Hold yourself and others (your team and your clients) to a higher standard. Do not accept results that are below par so you can have more energy for more important things. Finish What You Start - Find time to close off personal and professional projects. This will give you more peace! Use what tools you need to get things done. Do not shy away from software that can make your life easier. If you need help, I’d be happy to give you advice! Simplify Your Life - Balance is easily achieved when you declutter your life -- physically, mentally, spiritually. Amy Woidtke from Making Space For You has been my secret weapon to achieving order, function and simplicity with my physical spaces. Her services are available virtually too and I encourage you to book a free consultation with her so you can get a new perspective on your space and reinvent it into something more inspirational and spiritual for you. Reinforce Your Structures - Make sure you meet your own needs first. When you do this, your fears will be replaced with confidence. Keep What Matters Close - Organize your life so that it revolves around the things that matter to you. What are the most important things in your life right now? Create your schedule around them. Always Create - Strive to improve and don’t lose your creative side. Constantly try new things and experiment with old things. Strengthen - Your strengths need to be tested, pushed, and built upon in order to become more solid. The EXTENDED DISC assessment is the best way to understand where your strengths and opportunities lie. If you want to try it out and get help with interpreting the results, call me! Reserve - Learn how to stockpile in every aspect of your life. Incorporate - Be aware of how the different aspects of your life fit together. Strive to maintain adhesion and connectivity in your life. Perfect - Make sure to constantly work at all of your unique elements. Through attentive care, you can polish your life into a work of art. I would like to do a special shout out to the F Bomb Breakfast Club. It’s an amazing group of fabulous female founders and women business owners who help each other launch, grow, and survive their businesses. I can't express how much support I've gotten from this bad ass group! If you want to get connected, you are welcome to reach out to me and I will hook you up.

Rozmowy jeden-na-jeden w Polsce kojarzone są jako „dywanik” u przełożonego. To często incydentalne, wzbudzające emocje działanie, które przynosi więcej szkody niż pożytku, bo (niestety) bywa często przydługim monologiem okraszonym wzbudzaniem poczucia winy i wstydu u rozmówcy.Tymczasem, indywidualne i regularnie realizowane spotkania managera ze swoim podwładnym mogą być satysfakcjonującym obie strony momentem budowania relacji i zaufania, a także realnie podnosić jakość pracy i współdziałania. Zarządzanie ludźmi 4.0Rozmowy 1:1 to obecnie trend i kierunek nowoczesnego podejścia do zarządzania ludźmi w organizacjach. Obecnie, jedynie w samych Stanach Zjednoczonych każdego dnia odbywa się 11 milionów takich spotkań (wg. Badań Uniwersytetu Stanowego w Arizonie). W globalnych korporacjach oraz mniejszych firmach na Zachodzie Europy czy we wspomnianych wyżej Stanach Zjednoczonych to całkiem powszechna praktyka, a nawet i obowiązek kadry managerskiej. Dzieje się tak dlatego, że dobrze przeprowadzona rozmowa 1:1 zwyczajnie przynosi wymierne, biznesowe rezultaty i to z kilku perspektyw: managera, pracownika a także przynosi korzyści dla całego zespołu i w efekcie dla całej organizacji. Więcej o rozmowach 2 na 1, korzyściach z wdrożenia tego narzędzia do codziennej pracy managera oraz sposobach na dokonanie tego w audycji #BiznesPrzezSito, której gościem jest Tomasz Bagiński.Tomasz Bagiński - jest trenerem i konsultantem, który poprzez empatyczną komunikację oraz skuteczne, celowe i sprawdzone narzędzia chce wnosić nową jakość do biznesu. Działa w oparciu o unikatowe na rynku połączenie Porozumienia Bez Przemocy (Non Violent Communication - NVC), Teorii Ograniczeń (TOC) i metody Kręgów Naprawczych, a także o swoje wieloletnie doświadczenie i praktyczne umiejętności.

Specjalizuje się w działaniach consultignowych oraz szkoleniowych z zakresu skutecznej komunikacji, rozwoju autentycznego przywództwa oraz praktycznego zarządzania procesami, projektami i relacjami w biznesie.

Melveen and I met on LinkedIn, she actually worked with a classmate of mine, Greg Yasuda,  and I wanted her on the show because she had some really good content on improving the next generation of the workforce, the millennials. Though as a millennial, I prefer the term young professionals. Not only that, but she’s been an HR rep in the food industry for a long time in really big companies. Recently forming her own company, her big focus is coaching millennial or young professionals to excel at our jobs and she strategies with corporations to help them unleash potential in their current workforce. In this episode, I ask a lot of questions a lot of people are scared to talk about when it comes to general career advice. We go into how to ask good questions at work, or how to write an email to your boss, how to dress for an interview, or write a thank you note and a great discussion about improving manufacturing jobs. You’ll also learn a bit about the Land O Lakes pet food and crop input business. Who knew?

They were hungry and willing to do anything to help an organization Millennials can speak up to the older generation, but you have to speak up How can you speak up to upper management?:To put yourself out there is to ask questions.
