Myself and my guests on this edition of Quick Hits — Brand Scribed owner Jeff Glauser and executive coach Jennifer Elder — made a fun discovery during our conversation: We are all avid list makers.  The three of us have all made that really long list of all the things we need to do and experienced the freeze effect that immediately follows it: This is too much. I can't do it all. How do we get through it? By making better organized lists. I write mine in a kind of outline on the back of an old envelope, starting with the most important task for the day and indenting under it the smaller things that go into that big task.  Jennifer also has her one big task for the day as well as two other lists: One with “three medium tasks” and another with “five little things” for those moments when your brain needs to pause but there is still space to be productive.  Jeff arranges his thematically, so that those things that require a particular kind of thinking are all grouped together, limiting the stress of transitioning from one to another.  What's great about list-making is that even if you don't accomplish everything you intended to do that day, you still have the feeling that you're making process.  Whether you're also a list maker or not, I hope this conversation provides helpful insight and advice on how to prioritize and stay well-organized.  Connect with the panelists: Jeff Glauser: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffglauser/  Jennifer Elder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferhelder/ Dr Robyn Odegaard: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/ Want a summary of the Quick Hits I post every week, plus the links to the LinkedIn pages of each of the panelist to show up in your in-box every week?

One key to implementing change initiatives is understanding the why and what problem you're trying to solve, according to Jennifer Elder, CPA/CFF, CGMA.

Finding a job in the current market upended by COVID-19 will require financial executives to be determined and thoughtful. This episode gives you some the tools needed to start the search. Paul's favorite podcast: Future Proof, #92: Don’t panic: Coronavirus questions for your business, employees, and clients | with Jennifer Elder. (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/92-dont-panic-coronavirus-questions-for-your-business/id1370422862?i=1000468536634) Special Guest: Paul McDonald.

The coronavirus has caught everyone’s attention, and not in a good way. Most of what you read out there largely falls somewhere between paranoia and panic and — given the reliability of the “news” we see in our social feeds — that’s not good for anybody. Jennifer Elder of the Business Learning Institute has compiled a list of questions that business leaders can use to help their organizations prepare for the potential impact of the coronavirus. And now is the best time to do it because things are likely to get worse before they get better.

Jennifer Elder works with financial leaders to become more strategic, stay ahead of the competition, and be more successful. As a consultant and keynote speaker, Jennifer is known for being energetic and enthusiastic, and she has the natural talent for taking complicated topics and making them simple, practical, and immediately implementable. CPA Practice Advisor named Jennifer one of the Top 25 Women in Accounting in 2018. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Maryland Association of Certified Public Accountants named her a Woman to Watch in 2015. She has been awarded Outstanding Educator by the American Institute of CPAs five times. And in 2018, Jennifer earned the designation of Certified Speaking Professional, making her one of only 10 people worldwide who hold both the CPA and CSP designations (but maybe I can push that number from 10 to 11 in 2019). Becoming a Future-Ready CFO & Accountant In the past, the role of the CFO was primarily looking in the rear-view mirror at the historical financial statements and reporting it to the other people in the car. This tells you where you have been, but it doesn't necessarily tell you where you’re going. “And there's too much change, too much risk out there. The CFO now has to shift that perspective and look forward. They have to start to be able to look into the crystal ball, see what's coming down the pike.” Future-ready CFOs, and future-ready accountants in general, have to think about what's going on in the world and how it might affect your organization, which means you want to be looking at trends. What are the trends in the world at large? What are the trends in your industry? In the accounting and finance world right now, the trend everybody's looking at and talking about is technology. How are things like artificial intelligence going to change everything? When Jennifer teaches classes on the skills of the future and presentation skills, she breaks it down into five words you need to focus on to really add value to your organization: what, so what, and now what. The what is data. The so what is why should they care? If we're talking about the what, we're just presenting the data that we think somebody needs to get, but we have to think about it from our client’s perspective. “Step out of your own head, get into the head of your audience, and think about what's important to them.” Now what, then, is the action that’s going to help your client move forward.

We're talking about strategic planning and critical thinking today, or planning strategically and thinking critically, or critical strategy and planning to think – or whatever you want to call it. It's all about looking ahead today; mapping a road to the future and then figuring out how to get there. And here to help us make sense of all this is Jennifer Elder, a thought leader with the Business Learning Institute who works with companies to find creative solutions to their most challenging problems. She also helps financial leaders become more strategic, staying ahead of the competition and becoming more successful. And she has some fantastic insights into the notion of building a vision and executing on it: where to start, the key components of a strategic plan, possible land mines that you'll want to look out for, and what to do once the plan is complete.

I’m excited to have my long-time friend and colleague, Jennifer Elder of SustainableCFO.com, joining me today. With her on the show, you’re guaranteed to walk away with many nuggets of wisdom. At the Sustainable CFO, Jennifer works with smart business leaders who are interested in developing strategies to ensure their businesses are around for the long haul. Today’s CFO’s and CEO’s can get so overwhelmed with putting out day to day fires that they don’t think about what’s coming in the future. Jennifer’s role as a coach to CEO’s and CFO’s is two-fold: Supporter and confidence builder – With Jennifer in their corner, they don’t have to go it alone. She aids them as a confidant and sounding board for ideas that they can’t bring up to their teams in the workplace. It helps to know that Jennifer has “been there, done that” with anything that might be causing problems. She offers a different perspective – she doesn’t see things the way the others in the organization do, she has an experienced outsider’s perspective. She can use this to point out blind spots that her clients are missing. With so many millennials in the workplace nowadays, Jennifer has some great advice to help them move up from middle-management. “You’re not there just to do a job, you’re there to make your boss look good.” Millennials are in the perfect spot to ask their bosses, “What is it that you hate to do? If you could delegate something, what would that be?” Once you find this out, ask to take this task over then deliver on it the way your boss would like. This will elevate you in the organization’s eyes and make you an indispensable employee. Middle managers can also look at their department or organization as a whole, figure out where their contributions and skills can make it stronger, then set about doing just that. Utilize your strengths over fixing your weaknesses. Jennifer learned an important lesson from her father when she first entered the workforce, “The definition of a professional is someone who does their best work when they don’t want to.” We all need to realize that every day at work is an interview, and even when you don’t want to be there, you’re still being interviewed. One thing she can hear from clients is that they don’t understand people. Well, this is a people business we’re in. We’ve got a big variety of people in the workplace now, from millennials to baby-boomers, and the most effective leaders are able to adjust, improvise and think on their feet to be able to make better connections with somebody. People are more likely to hear what you have to say if you approach it from their perspective. “If you want to be heard, you have to adapt your style to theirs.” I had a really great talk and I can’t thank Jennifer enough for her time today. She exceeded all expectations and I’m sure we’ll have her back on the show again soon.   IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How Jennifer supports her clients How having an outside perspective can illuminate opportunities never realized from those within How focusing on strengths over weaknesses can lead to success within an organization Why it’s important to understand the different generations working in today’s world Plus much more… DON’T STOP HERE… Learn more about Jennifer Elder and Sustainable CFO: Website Contact Jennifer: jelder@sustainableCFO.com | Phone: 410-231-1881 Learn more about your ad choices.
