You can't have a work-life balance if you try to calculate a formula for it, but you can have a work-life balance if you work to change your mood in life. WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?* When did we start to worry about work-life balance?* We do the work-life math calculation - and it doesn't work out.* Work is essential for life; you usually spend most of your time working* Work-Life balance is not a math formula - it's a mood you feel.* Employers need to enable work-life balance programs. We offer some tips.* How can you change the mood your employees feel about working?* How can you use mood-altering methods to achieve a genuine work-life balance?WHAT'S THE TAKE-AWAY? You only have so much time in a week to devote to everything in your life - including your need to work. For most of us, work will always consume the majority of our available time. Even so, being in a state of happiness at work and at home is possible if you can be in the right mood for both. If you achieve that mood - you forget about and don't recognize an imbalance.WE USED THESE RESOURCES:Besides our experiences that directly relate to this topic, we found the following resources very helpful in preparing for this episode:Alicia Nortje, Ph.D. Work-Life Balance in Psychology: 12 Examples and Theories.

The role of the Ombudsman at Acme is to have a confidential and impartial teammate available to anyone who has a deep concern about the organization. Concerns could be centered around a policy, a practice, or a person at any level in our business. The guarantee of the Ombudsman is confidentiality and approachability for all, in an informal setting and as an advocate for fairness and equity. The only advice we offer on when it's proper to use the Ombudsman over talking to your manager or HR first is when you alone feel those other options are not your best choice.WHO ARE DAVE AND KELLI?An Entrepreneur and Intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial' chops, and a penchant for storytelling.Dave and Kelli met as teenagers and have a life-long story of their own.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? We go letter by letter through the CRM. If you work with customers in sales, support, or literally in any fashion, you likely use a CRM, and as your business grows you'll depend on ‘C' - the Customer data portion of the system. You also rely on the ‘M' for Management of the information stored, producing reports, and reminding you of important customer-related events. But your career success and advancement depend on knowing that the ‘R' in CRM - means Revenue! WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?* Define the role of the CRM in business* You know that most businesses that use a CRM are wasting 80% of its power?* A story about how a CRM could have cost $2.6 million dollars in valuation loss!* What does the C mean?* What does the M mean?* And the star of the show  - we define the R - it means Revenue.* We give real examples of how adding more R to the CRM drives success.* And of course, we know that the R stands for Relationship, but do you?* How to make the relationship come alive and make you more Revenue.WHAT'S THE TAKE-AWAY?We think that most CRM investments are largely wasted because we don't spend enough time perfecting the R part of the system.  We highlight the problems and the fixes to help you make more revenue.WE USED THESE RESOURCES:Besides our experiences that directly relate to this topic, we found the following resources very helpful in preparing for this episode:Salesforce CRM https://www.salesforce.comMicrosoft Dymanics https://dynamics.microsoft.com/en-us/SAP CRM https://www.sap.com/products/crm.htmlOracle CRM https://www.oracle.com/cx/what-is-crm/Zoho CRM https://www.zoho.com/crm/Hubspot CRM https://www.hubspot.com/products/crmSugar CRM https://www.sugarcrm.comPipedrive CRM https://www.pipedrive.comCloze CRM https://www.cloze.com WHO ARE DAVE AND KELLI?An Entrepreneur and Intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial' chops, and a penchant for storytelling.Dave and Kelli met as teenagers and have a life-long story of their own.

Kelli, on the other hand, clawed her way through a quagmire of career politics while raising a family and then earning her MBA after her kids went off to college themselves. So, if you are an intrapreneur, that ambitious employee looking to advance your career, or an entrepreneur who is growing their own company and you're not quite in the "1 percent club" - My Job Here Is Done is for you!The content is not like classroom teaching or showing the “steps", it's about provoking A-HA and WTF moments; those new ideas where you can almost see that light bulb flip on over your head. VERY IMPORTANT MUST-READ NOTE: This podcast does not have Kumbaya moments.
