Tracey Williams, a Service Design Director for Absa Bank in South Africa, discusses learning service design on the job, growing design skills on her team, and building organizational service design standards with Dawan Stanford, your podcast host. Show Summary Tracey’s career didn’t begin in design; she started in financial services, and went through a graduate program focused on business targets and goals. She’d always had an interest in problem-solving, and while working at Absa, she got involved in numerous projects that she found new and exciting outside of her specific role. She had studied marketing, and found that much of the old-school marketing thinking aligned with some of the thinking in design spaces. She submitted an idea to a social entrepreneurship course and was accepted. Tracey then proceeded to learn service design and design thinking as she led her team through development of the idea. Her biggest challenge during the project was using the tools of design, which were still new to her; she had to learn through doing, and through failure and then trying again. She learned that design is about looking at a problem from a different perspective. Tracey hosted the first Absa Women Forum at the Wentworth Angels headquarters to celebrate the role of single mothers and women. Listen in to learn: How Tracey developed her design skills What service design skills she has learned on her job Why she was called a design “Padawan” Who Tracey is bringing onto her team for service design How Tracey is developing new designers at Absa What she wishes more people understood about her work How she protects her work from being devoured by the larger system  Books Tracey used to learn service design on the job Our Guest’s Bio Tracey is a designer with seven years of experience in financial services. She is currently a Service Design Director for the Absa Bank Design Office, where she has played a key role in establishing and demonstrating the value of Service Design. Her teams have worked across different areas of the business and engaged with several stakeholders along the way, including those in Relationship Banking, Business Banking, Card, and most recently, Home Loans. She enjoys working with cross-functional teams to solve complex, wicked problems with solutions that address both customers' needs and meet the business objectives. Beyond the delivery of design work, she has a passion for developing young talent and worked with a colleague to start the first design graduate program at the bank focused on transforming and growing its future design leaders.

The Power of Storytelling in Real Estate, with Tracey Hicks A Realtor since 2005 and the co-owner of Dwell Realty (along with partner Chris Guinn III), Tracey Hicks created the first Homebuyer Journal back in 2011 in an effort to help her buyer clients stay organized. The response was overwhelming, and inspired Tracey to launch All Things Real Estate, an innovative and fun merchandise and branding company for Realtors.  What You Will Learn: Tracey Hicks’ story and how she got into real estate Why Tracey decided to go into real estate after she already had an established career How Tracey discovered her passion for entrepreneurship All Things Real Estate, what they do, and why you need to know who they are Tracey’s experience at the National Association of Realtors Conference How to articulate your expertise to clients and prospects The art of storytelling and brand development in real estate How Tracey structured her business and team Additional Resources: www.allthingsrealestatestore.com http://dwellrealtypdx.com/ Twitter: @ATREstore The Power of Storytelling in Real Estate Many people questioned Tracey Hicks’ decision to go into real estate at age thirty-five. For some reason, it was hard for them to wrap their heads around the idea of changing careers that “late” in the game. But Tracey wasn’t deterred by any means. She jumped in with both feet, and never looked back! Tracey was inspired to pursue real estate because of the freedom that it offers. With complete control over her time, finances, and progress, Tracey forged her own success. Her business took off, thanks to her commitment to excellence, her creativity, and her desire to serve. Before long, she was attracting other realtors to her team, and she started sharing her process, and ultimately her PRODUCTS, with the world! All Things Real Estate is Born Due to a combination of passion and necessity, Tracey discovered her entrepreneurial spirit. The economic downturn of 2008 was a hard hit for everyone in the industry, but for Tracey, it was a major turning point in her career. Tracey went from working-single-mother turned real estate agent to newspaper publisher overnight. And that marked the beginning of the next chapter. “All Things Real Estate” started as a newspaper publication. But eventually, it transformed into a magazine and a multi-media company. Tracey Hicks remained a contributor and filled a niche, producing high-quality content that the real estate industry needed. But her sights were set on improving the lead generation process for agents of all experience levels.  Tracey did not come from a marketing background, but like the rest of her endeavors, she dove in, and quickly became an expert. Tracey had a knack for brand development and storytelling, which enabled her to grow the platform and turn it into something much bigger than a publication. More Than Words Now, All Things Real Estate has a gorgeous storefront in Portland, OR, and they are a national leader in real estate merchandising and design. They supply realtors with creative marketing materials that set them apart from the competition. Tracey and her team are revolutionizing real estate products, turning “commonplace and boring” into unique and fun!  Real estate agents are busy being everything to everyone, and Tracey created All Things Real Estate because she lived that life first hand. You don’t have time to do your own marketing. So, Tracey offers a variety of services to help tell your story and create a stronger connection with your clients and prospects. At her core, that’s all she wants to do. Tracey is on a mission to help people in an industry where ups and downs are inevitable, and we need to be constantly building our brand and staying visible, in order to create consistency and sustainability. All Things Real Estate raised the bar for real estate marketing, and they are continuing to do so. Learn more about the work they are doing to help real estate agents close more deals in our podcast episode, The Power of Storytelling in Real Estate, with Tracey Hicks.

To me, that’s what Zen Money means.” (38:11) About Tracey: Tracey is an accomplished professional with 20 years of experience in the financial services industry working directly or indirectly with personal, commercial and corporate clients to help them achieve their financial goals. A demonstrated passion for increasing financial fitness coupled with lending and risk management experience led to the establishment of Bissett Financial Fitness Inc. As President and Chief Financial Fitness Trainer, Tracey works with clients to help them understand and improve their level of financial fitness with a goal of increased confidence using their financial skills so they can be successful in their financial life. She works with people of all ages, focusing on youth and young adults, as well as engages with companies and not-for-profit entities in various capacities including one on one coaching and contracts focused on financial services and risk management assignments. In addition, she teaches and leads speaking engagements to increase financial fitness awareness. Financial fitness also known as financial literacy means having the knowledge, skills and confidence to make responsible financial decisions. Just like physical fitness, your level of financial fitness may be starting to learn the basics about money, novice to expert budgeter or becoming a more sophisticated investor. Everyone’s financial fitness level is individual and unique. Just like your health, being financially fit enables you be successful in your life. I consider financial fitness to be fundamental life skill and am passionate about helping people improve their level of “fitness”.

Today Shannon welcomes Tracey Eccleston to discuss a topic that is often difficult for yoga teachers: money. It may seem contrary to aparigraha (that non-attachment, non-greed yama that Patanjali outlined in the eight limbs), but Tracey reassures us that taking care of our finances allows us to care for self and others. As you will hear, she loves looking at the business side of yoga and is brimming with valuable advice. This episode covers how to value your time so you can decide what to charge for your services with confidence, managing your finances so you have money for retirement, the concept of a 10/20/70 income mindset and much more. Tracey began yoga teacher training while attending Wilfrid Laurier University, finding herself interested in the many facets of the practice. This led her to study at the Kripalu Centre for Yoga and Health in Lennox, Massachusetts. Since then she has gone on to receive her E-RYT 500 certification. Tracey is the creator of the Foundations of Chair Yoga & Chair Yoga Therapeutics teacher training and is the lead instructor at Ageless Arts & Yoga School located in Paris, Ontario. Here, Tracy offers 200-hour Yoga teacher trainings twice a year along with chair yoga and is thrilled to offer her popular Kayak Yoga and Meditation workshops that combine many of Tracey's interests. Tracey also shares her yoga internationally through her travels and online class offerings. Keep an eye out for the many yoga classes and trainings on The Ageless Arts Yoga & School website. 4:15 Establishing your value as a yoga teacher 5:25 Is a one-hour class really an hour worth of time? 7:55 How Tracey sets the prices for her classes 9:15 Things to consider when setting your price 10:45 Retirement plans for yoga teachers 11:20 10/20/70 money mindset 12:45 Tracey's teaching schedule 15:00 Class package concept and early bird rates 15:45 Don't spend your income until you earn it (and the importance of a refund policy) 17:00 Hiring an accountant to guide you 18:35 Guilt associated with charging for your services- how you can pay yourself and give back to the community 21:20 Tracy talks about her innovative kayaking yoga Today's Episode is Sponsored by: The online Money Mindset Workshop with Rosslyn KemererThursday, May 25, 2017 10-11:30am EST Cost: $45 CAD [including downloadable replay video] Links Ageless Arts Yoga website Kayaking Yoga and Meditation with Tracey Biz Chix Episode 216: Is this a Business, Hobby or Charity? Biz Chix Episode 241: How to Learn to Profit First with Mike Michalowicz In that episode with Natalie Eckdahl, Mike discusses letting go of our traditional equation of: Sales   –   Expenses   =   Profit And talks about how when we let profit come last in the equation – it actually will come last in our real life. So instead we switch it around to be this equation: Sales     –     Profit     =     Expenses ______________________ So many thanks to Rob for editing this podcast the week before his wedding to the beautiful and amazing Lindsay.

IWS has built a staff of seasoned personnel with a reputation of broad experience, pride in craftsmanship and the ability to deliver both complicated and off the shelf solutions to their customers. The integrity of what they supply from the bid to the installation shows in their professional approach and desire to supply the very best. Their key to success comes from running a well-managed small business that supports their dedicated family of employees and includes their extended family of vendors and customers. They take the team approach to everything they do. They involve all the right people and create a winning attitude that allows long-term relationships to be built and maintained. IWS works under the belief that their reputation and signature is on every piece they deliver and that’s the way they like it! IWS applies the same quality to production runs as it does to custom runs, ensuring that the inside is as strong as the outside is beautiful. That is one reason their customer base is so loyal — if they say they can do, they do it. Their slogan is, “If you can draw it, we can build it.” What you’ll learn about in this episode: Tracey’s background and how IWS came to be Why you need to surround yourself with quality people and why you need to listen to what they have to say What Tracey learned from her dad, an entrepreneur himself How Tracey made it through the time when IWS was on life support — and how her business mentor helped her turn it around Why Tracey had to turn away a major business opportunity and why it turned out for the best in the end The point where Tracey decided that her team was wearing too many hats and how she grew the team to where it needed to be The award-winning project for the University of Washington that moved IWS to the next level Why the organizational chart is so important for the growth of your company How to recognize which employees are holding you back Why “A Players” are self-motivated and have the entrepreneurial spirit What IWS’ hiring process looks like How IWS onboards their employees — and why Tracey believes this is something that needs improving Getting the processes out of your head and onto paper How IWS stands out through their culture and opportunity Ways to contact Tracey: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/traceyhepner Website: www.interiorwoodworking.com
