  EP 174 Size DOES Matter – In Hiring Business growth is GREAT!  It’s what you’ve been working towards.  BUT….with more business comes the need to add team members.  Again, a good challenge to have.  BUT…. Finding and sifting through candidates to get to that perfect hire can feel daunting.  So much can go wrong.  And the stakes are high.  Each new hire is an investment.  There’s the cost of posting and time/money spent on sifting through resumes, interviewing and more.    Once you hire someone you are immediately investing in them.  There’s the time spent to onboard them and start the training process.  This includes the money you are paying them per hour or in salary and the wages you spend on the time for any current employees involved in training or answering their questions.  And, in the mean time you are losing productivity while  They work to become fully functioning employees.   And, if you hire wrong you are back at it again.  Lost momentum, lost investment and POSSIBLY……increased drama along the way.  Employees who struggle to fit in, whether it’s a gap in knowledge or a personality that doesn’t fit the culture, DO NOT ALWAYS GO QUIETLY.   Often there is collateral damage of some kind……frustrated team members, customer service issues……   All of this means that the hiring process is even more critical to business success!   Over many years I’ve seen a hiring snafu occur over and over so let me alert you now.   Size Does MATTER!   Leading projects, making things happen, getting work done…………can look very different depending on the size of the organization.   In a very large organization leading a huge project like a software implementation, for instance, can sometimes mean nothing more than getting updates from a team of implementors or a bevy of Directors that report to you.  As the VP you get credit but…..did you REALLY learn HOW to drive that project?  Did you get your hands in the muck of it?   In a smaller organization overseeing a scale project almost always looks very different.  It usually means wearing many hats, getting your hands into the details, prioritizing a wide variety of other important work while adding this huge extra project into your work….IT can mean learning on the fly, working directly with some outsourced pros but generally driving it home by your lonesome.   So…..what does this mean………as you interview make sure you are asking the right questions to learn the ACTUAL role the candidate played in those important projects.     Someone moving from a small organization to a larger one may have difficulty delegating or can become bored with just oversight.   The flip side….a person moving from a huge organization to your smaller one may not know how to get their hands down in the muck and, while on paper it appears they have top notch knowledge……the actual experience might not be where you need it.  Oversight is way different than getting into the nitty gritty of a project.  A Hands off approach rarely works in a smaller organization. My name is Kirsten Ross, author, HR Pro and CEO of Focus Forward Coaching where we help leaders who want to make a bigger, bolder impact defeat team drama  4X productivity,   And improve their bottom line  with simple, actionable leadership strategies, Courageous Communication BluePrints and mindset shifts.   Want to gain your own customized leadership breakthrough?  Apply for your complimentary session here:  DefeatTheDrama.com/Session

Episode #104 – Podcast Relaunch - The Return Show Notes From Defeat the Drama at Work to Live and Lead for Impact Click To Download Your Free Sliding Into Self Care: Super Simple Strategies for Crazy Busy Lives What I’ve been Up to in the last 3 years My recent Reflect - Refuel and Re-Evaluate Shift in Focus for the Podcast and Why – For now let me tell you – it’s all about serving you better and was sparked by my Re-evaluation work What I’ve been Up to in the last 3 years For the last 3 plus years I have placed a focus on my two boy who had been struggling with major health challenges. They both began suffering from different autoimmune disorders at the same time! At some point I will explore what shared variables could have caused that to happen! Let me just say, it was a crazy, busy, overwhelming, scary, frustrated, heartbreaking, sometimes celebratory time. My oldest son was diagnosed with HSP immediately after symptoms started while my youngest was already suffering the symptoms of PANS, but was undiagnosed. It took a full year to learn what was impacting his health and the road back to health has been long! I’ve been doing advocacy and awareness work since so let me give you a brief description so you can learn a little bit and also get a very small sense about what we were dealing with. With HSP the body’s immune system attacks all the small blood vessels. It is VERY painful! Small blood vessels line the entire digestive tract and are in all of the major organs. For my son this meant that he had terrible pain in his stomach as it contracted and squeezed. He ultimately went into kidney failure, causing his hands and feet to swell to the point that his skin was splitting, his blood pressure skyrocketed and he had blood in his urine. His liver was also enlarged. The first signs were red dots on his ankles and feet, which began to move up his legs. They call it a rash, but it’s actually broken blood vessels. Thankfully, he was diagnosed right away and began treatment that started with a hospital stay in Orlando where we were on vacation, and lasted for months. PANS is short for Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome. Sounds like a terrible disorder…AND….it is! The body’s immune system attacks the brain, causing inflammation. This creates what looks and feels like OCD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sleep disorders, tics, ADD, brain fog and more. Children regress with handwriting and often are not able to function in school. They struggle tremendously or are unable to participate in school at all. And, accurate diagnosis often takes a long time or doesn’t happen at all. It took a year for us to get a diagnosis and made recovery more challenging. Symptoms show up out of nowhere overnight or in a moment and continue. In our case it was overnight. He woke me before school to share that he hadn’t slept all night and had anxiety through the roof. He was suddenly completely confused at school and unable to understand anything the teachers were saying. He would not leave his bedroom and had weird eating habits. He began losing weight. Traditional treatments that can positively impact psychiatric issues generally do little or nothing as they are not caused by chemical imbalance but by inflammation. That was our experience. And, as my son begged me to find help so he could feel better and be back to himself again, we struggled to find anything that could help. I re-prioritized my life immediately during this period and so, pressed pause on my podcast. I continued work with coaching clients and did some speaking, but my kids and their health definitely took center stage. To give you a small feel, in one year I drove approximately 3,000 miles taking my kids to appointments. Stop and think for a minute about the fear, worry, time, logistical challenges and money involved in that many appointments. And, as I’ve said, I also began spending time speaking and advocating for my kids personally with the school and health professionals and also for others. The CDC estimates that 1 in 200 kids will be impacted by PANS or PANDAS each year and yet many health practitioners and education professionals are not knowledgeable or even aware. My Reflect - Re-Fuel and Re-Evaulation I dubbed the summer of 2018 My Summer of Self Care. I focused on me and took time to Reflect, Re-Fuel and Re-Evaluate. Reflect: We moved fast and furious through 3 years and there was rarely time to think or process what we were going through. It was always just Do – Do – Do. It seemed like we moved from one challenge to the next. So, I took time to just think and remember and feel the feelings that I passed over during the many experiences we’d had. There wasn’t time to sit and let feelings flow. I was too busy and focused on research and trying the next thing. I needed to revisit what we’d been through and cry and take time to feel what was tucked away. I needed to let a lot of it out. And, I always try to focus on the positive so had definitely celebrated small victories and looked for silver linings. But, now I needed time to grieve. I took time for that this summer too. I grieved high school years that weren’t what we’d planned. Time lost. Memories not made. There were no school dances or basketball games. He barely left his room for a few years. I grieved or the college life that isn’t what we’d expected. Refuel: I was completely depleted! There was nothing left for me or anyone else. I could NOT be my best self without a focus on me. I secured down time and used it to just BE, spend time in nature, be quiet, paddle board, water walk. I took actual time off. Normally I celebrate my ability to work from anywhere while blending vacation and some scaled back work. The only true down time I’ve had in YEARS prior to this was my week-long honeymoon in Mexico. We left our electronics back home!! I also used some of the self-care suggestions from this .pdf I created. Click on the link to get your own download! It has a lot of ideas!! My Summer of Self Care – Sliding into Self Care – Super Simple Strategies for Crazy Busy Lives Re-Evaluate: During that quiet time came some contemplation and I began to re-evaluate: My Team – All of my relationships from friendships, professional, those I serve and more. discovered many of my relationships were very one-sided or based on what I could do vs. who I was. I needed to build my Team Kirsten – those who could help fuel me so that I get back to supporting others. My Time – How should I spend my time - My Targets – expand – include all of me – to support and encourage all of you. Out of that re-evaluation came a shift in focus for my podcast. not really a shift, actually, an expansion. New Podcast Introduction - Summarizes it all... You were born with individual strengths and a unique purpose. Don’t let fears, false beliefs, or life’s happenings diminish your influence!  It’s time to Live and Lead for Impact! Host, Kirsten Ross, expert of transformation, will help you Defeat the Drama and Overcome the Trauma that can stop you in your tracks. You’ll gain focus, find confidence, and take bold action…. Unleash passionate, purposeful you! Let’s Go!! I realized that to brand my podcast as Defeat the Drama at Work had me feeling fragmented………I kept bumping up against this wall at the edge of business topics with more that I really wanted to share but didn’t feel like I could and still remain consistent to the brand. Over the past few years I began to feel more and more fragmented as some of my advocacy work took me in different directions with my speaking as well. It was then difficult to feel fully authentic when I spoke on leadership topics. I just wanted to be all of me! It started to feel like an identity crisis……. I’ve always had this call to action or wiring to share what I learn to help others. It goes all the way back to high school. As a result, I live my life on 2 tracks all at once. I live and learn as life happens. However, at the same time, I am also constantly looking objectively at my life and organizing what I’m learning with a plan to share what I’m learning to help others. The wiring has me planning that way and then my innate ability to simplify challenging topics helps me turn it into shareable information. My podcast’s focus on work alone was what had me feeling fractured. I’ll say that I’ve been blessed to have had many experiences throughout life that provide me the opportunity to share from a rich collection of life experiences. I actually recently joked with a friend as she marveled at the wealth of life experiences I’ve had, “Well, I’m really hoping God is satisfied with the material I’m now armed with”….I was kind of joking but kind of not! So…….The strategies I share with others have been used by many of my clients but also by me. Ironically, whenever I start with a new coaching client, one of the first things I share is this, “You are who you are in your life and in your work so we can work on either and we’ll impact both.”  I immediately give license to my clients to be a whole human being SOOOOOO……Why on earth have I been limiting my ability to be whole too and share from my plethora of both work and life experiences? Ultimately, my goal is to help others make a positive impact and I don’t care where it happens! I believe to the depths of my core that we are each put on this earth with a unique purpose and wonderful gifts to share with others. Too often fears, false beliefs and the happenings of life stop us from fulfilling that purpose and we rob the world of us. With this new title and focus I get to be all of me and can also help all of you! Don’t rob the world of you!! I want to help you defeat the drama and overcome the trauma that can block you! Live and Lead for Impact is about making your difference in this world as all of you from the many different roles that you play. The reality is that you can make a difference as a leader, parent, community member, volunteer, an employee or something else entirely I want to help you make your important impact. Thank you for listening and I look forward to helping you and hearing about your journey to impact!
