In this new episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I have the pleasure of welcoming Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Chairman and former CEO of Schneider Electric. From his humble beginnings in rural France to leading one of the world's most influential industrial companies, Jean-Pascal's story is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose. For nearly two decades as CEO, he reimagined Schneider Electric's role in society — turning sustainability from a side note into a core business driver, championing digital transformation, and fostering a culture of inclusion and empowerment. In our conversation, we explore the lessons he learned from a truly global career, the importance of empathy and cultural intelligence in leadership, and how businesses can reconcile growth with climate responsibility. Today, as Chairman, he continues to shape the company's mission and inspire the next generation of leaders to put people and planet at the heart of performance.

On this episode of Inside the Brand Experience, Invision's Rodrigo Espinosa joins host Laliv Hadar to discuss how integrated campaigns transform experiential from one-off events into year-round growth engines. Discover why human-to-human connection, AI-driven personalization, and content atomization are redefining B2B marketing.

Leaders often assume transformation comes from learning new skills or following the latest management trend. But real change begins when we confront our own beliefs, reflect deeply, and choose to step out of victimhood into agency. That inner work is what lays the foundation for lasting growth in how we lead and live. Only then can leaders create change that resonates far beyond the workplace.In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Shawn Quinn talk about the deep reflection leaders need to build their own reality and move from victimhood to agency in life and leadership.Shawn Quinn is the Managing Partner of Lift Consulting and Faculty Director of the Positive Leadership program at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. A leading voice in positive leadership and organizational transformation, he has advised global companies including GE, Coca-Cola, American Express, and the U.S. Army. Shawn is also co-author of Leading Innovation: How to Jumpstart Your Organization's Growth Engine.Shawn and Ashish explored how transformation doesn't come from another training, another framework, or another leadership fad. It happens when we pause, reflect, and face the beliefs that hold us back.Things you will also learn in this episode:• Breaking free from a victim mindset• Why belief shifts matter more than skills in true transformation• The power of small experiments, reflection, and awareness to spark change• How leaders at any level—not just executives—can create meaningful impact• How workplace behaviors ripple outward into family, children, and community• The challenge of systems and people resisting changeTune in now and see for yourself how this shift unlocks the kind of transformation no trend or tactic can deliver.✅Resources:• Related episode: (Robert Quinn) https://player.captivate.fm/episode/1b7c5df6-06e1-4929-83d3-5849caa6b9b5 • Strengthsfinder by Gallup: https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/254033/strengthsfinder.aspx • A Fundamental State of Leadership Approach: https://scholar.valpo.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1444&context=jvbl • Charles Snyder's Hope Theory: https://www.mindtools.com/aov3izj/snyders-hope-theory • The Sunflower Model: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/ee784c9c-cf26-48df-b07f-b4c0dcc638f3 • The Sunflower Model: https://happinesssquad.com/the-sunflower-model-career-transition-guide-with-ashish-kothari/ • The Power of the 5:1 Ratio: https://michiganvirtual.org/blog/the-power-of-the-51-ratio-in-the-classroom-how-fostering-positive-interactions-can-transform-student-learning/ • Martin Seligman's Learned Helplessness:

In today's episode, we're joined by Ariana Ferwerda, co-founder and CEO of Halfdays, to unpack the strategy and philosophy behind building a true community-first DTC brand, and why that approach has worked so well for them.Ariana shares her journey of launching a brand that struck product-market fit in its first season and grew 10x from their first to second season. We dive into the how and why behind Halfdays' community-led approach - from the early customer insight that shaped their brand mission, to how they took a different path than the typical early-stage DTC playbook, and how that thinking informs their approach to growth.She shares what it actually looks like to operationalize community at scale, from their ambassador model to how they decide when to lean on community, and when to tap into performance or influencer marketing instead.We also get into how they measure the impact of community-led initiatives, what brands often get wrong when they jump into community without a clear reason, and when leading with community simply isn't the right fit - plus much more.If you have a question for the MOperators Hotline, click the link to be in with a chance of it being discussed on the show: https://forms.gle/1W7nKoNK5Zakm1Xv6Chapters:00:00 Introduction 12:46 Ariana's Journey to Half Days22:57 Product Market Fit and Growth Strategies33:07 The Importance of Community in Brand Strategy45:18 Activating Community: Events and Engagement01:00:20 Measuring Community Impact and SuccessPowered by:Motion.⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-reads⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.⁠⁠⁠https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.⁠⁠⁠https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsHaus.http://Haus.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here:https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here: https://9operators.com/

Alberto Francis champions end-user empathy, proactive insights, and monetization at GTIA ChannelCon “I heart Service Desk.” — Alberto Francis, President & CEO, Black Birch Group At ChannelCon 2025, hosted by GTIA in Nashville, Alberto Francis of Black Birch Group sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to deliver a bold and unexpected message: the service desk deserves more love—and attention as a growth driver. Francis, a self-described “talker” with a background in financial services IT, explained how his passion for human connection led him to build a company centered on crafting customized service desk experiences for MSPs. “It's the one place users interact with us daily,” said Francis. “It should be loved 24/7.” According to Francis, the service desk is an untapped source of business intelligence. “Why is it that 20 new user onboardings don't trigger a conversation about growth?” he asked, citing missed opportunities for MSPs to proactively engage clients on automation, workflow efficiency, and scaling support. He envisions a smarter, more proactive desk that not only solves tickets but flags business trends before they reach the executive suite. Black Birch Group's approach is to build desks that deliver “white-glove” experiences with KPI strategies that go beyond vanity metrics. Instead of just measuring closure rates, Francis encourages MSPs to ask, “Are we collecting insights that drive business?” His message to MSPs at ChannelCon: “Let's start by talking. If we work together to improve the desk, opportunities will follow.” Francis believes that passion and proactive design can turn the service desk from a cost center into a strategic advantage.

If you're a content creator in a business niche and you're NOT going to live events, you're missing one of the easiest ways to grow your influence, revenue, and network. But just showing up isn't enough. You need to be strategic about it. Let me walk you through exactly how to make live events your secret growth engine. 1. Pick the Right Events Don't just go to every conference in your industry. Be selective. Ask yourself: Will my ideal audience or customers be there? Will the people I want to partner or collaborate with be there? Will there be speakers who are already where I want to be? Will the people in attendance be critical to my business model of the future? Smaller, niche events are often better than the giant ones because it's easier to have real conversations. 2. Have a Plan Before You Go Treat this like a marketing campaign. Make a hit list of 5–10 people you want to meet. Connect with them on LinkedIn before the event with a simple message: “Hey, I see we're both going to [Event]. Would love to say hi while we're there.” If they respond, you can add, let me know if you want to grab coffee while there. It's an easy ask. Follow the event app so you can see where people are gathering. Most creators go in blind and just “see what happens.” Don't do that. 3. Work the Room (Even if It's Uncomfortable) Yes, some of this will feel awkward. Do it anyway. Sit at a different table each meal. Go to every networking event, even if you're tired. After a speaker session, walk up, introduce yourself, and thank them. 90% of attendees don't bother, so you'll stand out. When you sit in a session, introduce yourself to at least one person sitting by you. They will thank you for it as they are probably uncomfortable sitting by themselves. 4. Buy the Book, Get It Signed Here's a power move: If the speaker has a book, buy it BEFORE the event. Bring it with you, and after their talk say: “I loved your session. Would you mind signing this? I already bought it—it's been really helpful.” Why? Because now you're not just another attendee—you're someone who invested in their work. People remember that. When I first spoke at Hubspot's inbound, Douglas Burdett from the marketing book podcast, was standing in the back with my book Epic Content Marketing. How could I not stop and talk to him? Since then, we became fast friends and I was on his podcast I think seven times. He did that with so many speakers. 5. Follow Up Fast The magic isn't just at the event—it's what you do after. Send a quick LinkedIn or email note the next day: “Great meeting you yesterday at [Event]. Loved our chat about [Topic]. Let's keep in touch.” If you promised to send someone a resource or an intro, do it within 48 hours. Most people don't follow up, which is why this works so well. The Big Picture Look, content creation can feel like sitting alone behind a keyboard. But the fastest way to build authority and trust is face-to-face. People buy from people they know—and live events shortcut years of online grinding if you do them right. So don't just attend. Be strategic. Have a plan. Make yourself known. That's how live events turn into partnerships, clients, speaking gigs—and real friendships.

Penguins spend 75% of their lives in the water, actively positioning themselves exactly where they need to be to hunt and survive. It's intentional placement. Strong brands do the same. They know where they belong and commit. Too many don't. They drift, hoping the market finds them. You've got to stake your spot and give your marketing something to stand on. In this episode, Drew brings in Marni Puente (SAIC) and Sara Larsen (Wolters Kluwer Health), two marketers who've learned that positioning only works when it's clear, repeated often, and owned beyond marketing. They get into how to break the cycle of repositioning, earn internal trust, and lay the groundwork for durable growth.  In this episode:  Marni shares how a tight positioning strategy anchored SAIC's rebrand and became a decision filter across the org  Sara explains how to drive clarity in a matrixed enterprise, aligning stakeholders without watering down the message  Both guests reflect on the power of internal alignment as the real test of a strong position  Plus:  How to test positioning with internal and external audiences  Why simplicity is your signal when it comes to clarity  What positioning unlocks across marketing, sales, and culture  How to build buy-in that lasts beyond launch   Tune in to learn how focused positioning gives every team a north star and puts your brand strategy to work across the business.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

You might have the right systems, the right process, even the right results, but if you can't clearly show a recruit what success looks like on your team, you're going to lose them. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk you through how to turn your advantage into a real, visible success framework that inspires confidence and creates buy-in. This isn't theory. This is how to go from vague promises to concrete proof so recruits can not only hear the plan, they can see themselves in it. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most recruiting conversations fall flat: recruits can't visualize the journey. [01:00] Step 1: Document the Framework – Get your playbook out of your head and onto paper. Break it into repeatable steps or phases. [02:00] Step 2: Give It a Name – Branded names like "The Growth Engine" or "90-Day Playbook" give your system identity and credibility. [03:00] Step 3: Make It Visual – Turn your framework into a simple one-pager. Timeline, flowchart, or journey map. Just make it something they can see. [04:00] Step 4: Pair It With Stories – Bring each phase to life with real success stories from your team. [05:00] Step 5: Personalize It to the Recruit – Say, “Here's where I'd place you and here's what support looks like from day one.” [06:00] Bonus Insight – You don't need a fancy design. A whiteboard sketch done with passion is more powerful than a polished brochure with fluff. [06:30] August Live Workshops – Orlando, Aug 7 and Denver, Aug 21 → Real strategy, real playbooks, small group intensity. Details at 4crecruiting.com/events [07:00] Final Challenge – Build a framework that creates clarity. Then use it consistently in your recruiting conversations. Key Takeaways If It's In Your Head, It's Invisible – Get your systems documented so others can believe in it. Name It, Own It – A named framework builds confidence and positions you as a strategic leader. Visuals Stick – Use a one-pager to walk recruits through the journey. Make the path feel real. Stories Sell the System – Real examples prove the framework works. That's what recruits are looking for. Personalization Is Power – Show recruits exactly where they'd land and how they'd win. You don't need perfection. You need clarity. Recruits follow leaders with a plan, not just a pitch. Build your success framework, share it often, and watch the right people start leaning in.

Are you wrapping up clients' final sessions with an awkward “goodbye and good luck”? You might be missing the biggest opportunity in your coaching business.We continue our series on delighting clients this week by focusing on what happens after their formal program ends. Financial wellness isn't a destination—it's a lifelong journey with new challenges at every stage. By maintaining meaningful relationships with past clients, you create both ongoing value for them and sustainable growth for your practice.Think about it: your past clients already know your value. They've experienced the transformation you provide firsthand. When you create intentional ways to stay connected, these relationships become the foundation of a thriving, sustainable business where you're not constantly chasing new leads.In this episode, we break down the three essential components of a great off-boarding process: the celebration session that highlights client progress, documenting their journey as a touchstone they can return to, and providing a success toolkit that equips them for continued growth on their own.We also explore two proven models for ongoing support. The periodic coaching program offers flexible check-ins that evolve as clients progress—starting monthly, then quarterly, and eventually semi-annual—focusing on strategic planning rather than budgeting basics. For some practices, a community membership program creates connections between clients on similar journeys.Beyond these formal touch points, we share practical ways to stay meaningfully connected through your connection calendar and regular communication that feels personal, not promotional.The most powerful outcome of these strategies? A natural referral culture where clients enthusiastically share their experience with others. Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupGet your Client Journey RoadmapKey Takeaways:The celebration session transforms a final meeting into a powerful launch pad for clients' independent success by highlighting their growth journey and newfound skills.Document your clients' progress throughout the coaching relationship—it becomes their touchstone during future financial challenges when you're not there.Periodic coaching evolves with your clients' needs: monthly → quarterly → semi-annual, focusing less on budgeting mechanics and more on being their strategic thinking partner.Your clients don't stop needing guidance after their program. Rather, they need different guidance as new life stages bring fresh financial challenges they've never navigated before.To increase your referral rate, stop asking for referrals and start creating client experiences so transformative they naturally want to share you with others.The most meaningful client communications aren't about your business news. They address the specific financial concerns of people already managing money well.Financial stability in your coaching business starts with client relationship stability; when past clients become your marketing department, algorithm changes can't touch your growth.
