Can you think of a time when you jump to conclusions and imagine all the worst-case scenarios even before they happened? Well, that, my friend, is part of making assumptions. If you want to be an effective leader, you must learn how to stop making assumptions. Otherwise, you risk harming your credibility and workplace relationships. Issues come up when a leaders responds to a situation in the absence of sufficient knowledge – particularly when emotions are high. Similarly, expectations are typically fueled by an emotion and when that expectation is not met, we feel let down. When we set goals, we provide time to develop strategy and execution plans to achieve them instead of having unrealistic expectations that are thoughtlessly assessed in the moment. In today's podcast, you'll learn how to address three meaningful topics to enhance your leadership. Dr. Eric Bean discusses (1) how to avoid treating assumptions as facts, (2) how to understand the difference between expectations and goals, and (3) how to remove or limit judgements. The story of the Chinese farmer by Alan Watts serves as a reminder that we live in a complex world. And when we can withhold from making immediate judgments about our experiences, challenge our assumptions, manage expectations, and be open to reality, we can find greater inner peace and be more in the flow of life. Key Points: Get clarity that you're making an assumption and then challenge it by asking questions. Embracing the practice of letting go of expectations. Move past the rejection of reality to a place of acceptance. Episode Highlights [0:15] Unraveling the dangers of assumption [1:15] The story of a Chinese Farmer [2:13] The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it's tough to tell if the consequences result to good or bad [2:40] The practice of removing judgments in one's life [3:31] The three elements that are core to Eric's coaching approach (1) Don't make assumptions, (2) Understand the difference between expectations and goals, (3) The three possible responses to what happens in life [3:49] The idea of making no assumptions [7:10] You have to recognize that you don't have to believe every thought that comes into your mind [8:18] Not treating our automatic assumptions as data or as truth [8:31] Understanding the difference between expectations and goals [10:21] Expectations should happen, but goals are the target [11:43] Three ways to respond to reality: Reject it, Accept it, or Appreciate it [12:31] Acceptance is simply acknowledging what happened Resources Mentioned: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz The Happiness Hypothesis Book by Jonathan Haidt
Rich is a former Army Black Hawk pilot and a West Point graduate turned tech CEO. He is fortunate to lead the team at BlueRecruit, a software platform that connects America's blue-collar skilled workers with the companies desperate for their talent. Let us listen as Rich explains the amazing opportunities in the blue-collar direction. Episode Highlights: 02:38- BlueRecruit has started as Rich realized that nobody's targeting blue-collar labor. 05:08- 10% of Rich company's job seekers are veterans 05:39- Rich in partnerships with community colleges to provide certifications and be more attractive to employers 09:42- The concept of implied task 13:00- The proper mindset as a veterans go into the new world 14:57- The opportunities to steer more in the blue- collar job direction 14:57- The opportunities to steer more in the blue-collar job direction 18:21- Rich plans to do career counseling in helping blue-collar workers to get through their ranks 3 Key Points: Get rid of the negative connotation about a blue-collar job because there's plenty of opportunities in this direction.

There are plenty of opportunities in this direction to make more. “- Rich Camacho FREE! - https://usvetwealth.com/veteran-wealth-secrets-book/ (Get the First 3 Chapters of Veteran Wealth Secrets) https://www.amazon.com/Veteran-Wealth-Secrets-Post-Military-Obtaining/dp/0578813203 (Buy Veteran Wealth Secrets on Amazon!)

But maybe it doesn’t do it in the most powerful way.” – Jason Bell (08:10) “I think the art of coaching and why we are most important is that it is our job to relate to each and every player that we have.” – Jason Bell (16:13) “If there are 25 players on a team, it is more important for us to be 25 different types of people rather than 25 different people changed to our system as a coach.” – Jason Bell (16:22) “You need to use feedback on the player’s body language. How he is taking the coaching that you’re giving him and kind of wonder like, ‘Man, it doesn’t look like he has bought in. Maybe he doesn’t feel comfortable disagreeing.” – Jason Bell (27:06) “If this player feels like he needs more work in this area and we aren’t getting it to him, I’m so glad that he feels comfortable in saying that.” – Jason Bell (35:49) “Showing where you can add value and creativity is great. But, use the creativity to like actually develop somebody’s skills and not being creative for the sake of being creative.” – Jason Bell (38:23) “Communication is key. And being able to communicate with players of all sorts of backgrounds.” – Jason Bell (38:41) Resources Mentioned: Ahead of the Curve Podcast Twitter: @AOTC_podcast Jason Bell: Linkedin Twitter

Are you giving your customers an experience they’ll remember? There’s a big difference between providing basic customer service and creating an exceptional experience that’s truly worth talking about. On this week’s episode of Stay Paid, hosts Josh Stike and Luke Acree are joined by Mike Graziola, the VP of Operations and Client Success for ReminderMedia. Now in his 14th year with the company, Mike shares what he’s learned about providing a customer experience that goes above and beyond. Key Points Get out of the “vendor mindset.” Customers will tell everybody about an amazing experience. Be proactive, not reactive. Get out of the vendor mindset. It’s an uncomfortable truth, but many basic customer service functions are able to be performed by computers. In the face of automation, the professionals who will succeed are the ones who can create a real, emotional connection with customers. When you view each customer interaction as just a transaction, you’re missing a chance to build a lasting, meaningful relationship. Look for opportunities to help your clients achieve more than they’re expecting. Empower them to reach their goals. When you show commitment to your customers, they’ll come back to you again and again. Customers remember exceptional experiences. At the end of the day, your customers are not going to remember sales experiences that went as expected—those which were, effectively, just “okay.” What they will remember are the experiences that were truly unforgettable, and they’ll be sure to tell their family and friends. There are some simple, yet practical ways to create this kind of experience for your customers. For example, if a client needs a plumber, rather than just giving them the name of one, offer to make an appointment with a plumber whom you know and trust. If they go out to eat frequently, provide a list of the five best area restaurants. Think of it as concierge service. Ultimately, when your customers know they can come to you for a variety of needs, they won’t forget about you. Be proactive. If you don’t give your clients value, someone else will. The key is to become invested in your customers’ lives. If you don’t already have one, get a CRM. Then, use it to keep track of not just your clients’ names and contact information, but who they are. Make a note of the best methods and times for getting a hold of your customers. Use the CRM to record other information that might come in handy. Do they have pets? Do they like to exercise? What kinds of services might they need that might not necessarily fall in your wheelhouse, but for which you could provide a referral? When you learn about your customer’s individual needs and values, you’ll be better able to provide them with truly exceptional service. Action Items Find out when and how to best reach customers. Decide the three best ways to personalize your services and be prepared to take action.
