What have you learned from that experience balancing competing priorities of marriage and business? They say, all paths tend to converge in that bigger calling and purpose over time. What does that look like for you? Worked at an auto parts store and ended up becoming an executive in an oil and gas company So focused on climbing the corporate ladder that she had no time for her husband and daughter The divorce forced her to focus on what matters most She learned to allow her team to lead more. Which took the time and pressure off of her, allowed her to focus on her daughter, and the business grew as a result. You get what you focus on and measure If you're not whole as a person, you attract like people Jumped too quick into the next marriage While she learned and focused on her family first, the second husband was busy focusing on his career. She got a taste of her own medicine. Third marriage, they protect quality time in the mornings to make sure they connect despite busy and awkward schedules.

And this, I think, is the most critical piece: They want to know that people care about them and that they're doing a good job.” (Joe Miller)“You have to have milestones, or what we call benchmarks, along the way. Milestones are places in between the final goal achievement that you can measure your result and see whether you're on target.” (Joe Pici)“People have different personality types. People think differently and get a greater response if you surround yourself with people who think differently than you and you are able to work together.” (David Nemes)“Good people want to contribute, and they will contribute.

I think you have to have a respect for how their energy ebbs and flows.” (Max Friar)“It's really just getting back to being human beings who have conversations and we rid ourselves of any assumptions, and we get down to really having those conversations around value.” (Joshua Washington)“Covid was a crash course on how to handle communication well with your team and really over-communicate – even when we didn't have all the answers and people wanted answers.” (Kelly Plawinski)“If I know my stuff so well that I'm not thinking about it, then all my focus can be on that person's communication style.

Signup for future emails from The Elite Recruiter Podcast: https://eliterecruiterpodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribe Welcome to another episode of The Elite Recruiter Podcast! In today's episode, we have the pleasure of welcoming Krystal Parker, a highly successful recruiter who took a unique path to achieve her remarkable success. Join us as we dive into her journey, strategies, and insights that have made her a 7-figure biller. Let's get started! Krystal's Non-Traditional Approach: Krystal believes in going beyond the conventional methods of recruiting. She emphasizes the importance of considering a candidate's potential for a managerial role right from the start. By providing a positive candidate experience, recruiters can lay the foundation for future partnerships in leadership positions. Krystal suggests helping candidates build their team and maintaining touch points even after they are placed in a new role. The Candidate is King: According to Krystal, the candidate should always be a top priority throughout the hiring process. She advises recruiters to be prepared to seize opportunities when candidates are ready to make a move, rather than constantly looking for the next thing. By putting candidates first, Krystal believes recruiters can deliver exceptional results and foster long-term relationships. Krystal candidly shares that, despite her success, she has considered making a career change. While she enjoys certain aspects of her current job, negative factors within her firm or team may motivate her to make the leap. Approaching 50, after starting work at a young age, Krystal feels financially stable enough to explore new opportunities. The Journey to a Million: Krystal started with a billing of around $400,000 a year but aimed to make $50,000 more each year than the previous year. With a strong work ethic and a focus on quality rather than quantity, she successfully met and exceeded this goal for four years. Eventually, Krystal reached the coveted million-dollar mark, surpassing her senior partner's expectations. Krystal doesn't conform to traditional recruiting practices. She prefers digital communication and efficient problem-solving, cutting through unnecessary steps. While her organization emphasizes KPIs, Krystal believes in building relationships and finding jobs for candidates rather than just finding candidates for jobs. Her focus is on seizing opportunities and creating a diverse income stream through the 360 model. Recruiting is not just a job for Krystal; it's also her hobby. She sees it as a rewarding challenge with high stakes, enjoying the blurred lines between work and hobby. Her strong self-competition mindset drives her to constantly push her limits and outdo her past achievements. Krystal advises recruiters to develop a thick skin, operate with integrity, and embrace market intelligence. Krystal's journey is a testament to the fact that success can be achieved through resourcefulness and continuous learning. From starting as an executive assistant without a college degree to becoming a VP of acquisition, she has honed her skills while staying true to herself. Krystal encourages recruiters to gather market intel, approach referrals strategically, and always operate with integrity. Thank you for joining us on this insightful episode of The Elite Recruiter Podcast. We hope that Krystal's unique approach to recruiting and her inspiring journey have provided valuable insights that you can implement in your own career.

Today's trend is to believe that everything in business rises and falls on leadership, but where is the strategy in that approach? Encompassing both strategy and leadership are the four basic elements that are the bedrock to business management: planning, leading, organizing, and control. Artificial intelligence and the robot revolution have created the need for an evolution of these vintage management principles. Whether you are a task-oriented or a people-oriented leader, Krystal Parker, former executive for a Fortune 200 publicly traded oil and gas company, believes that any leader who wants to construct the best machine must align human workers, processes, and systems with their enterprise's mission, vision, and values. This is where and how the best robot wins!   U.S. Christian Business Expo and National Conference The Christian Business Expo and National Conference is a place for Christian business leaders to meet and discuss how they impact the way the world conducts business.

If you sit and listen to God and what He is saying, and you follow Him, your business is in His hands.    Follow Krystal Parker Linked-In Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce Intent and Impact   Connect With Follower Of One Join us over in our Online Community, get social with us; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
