To succeed is very clear in understanding but much more difficult in execution. Action driven from understanding creates the meaningful and measurable movement which has to occur to succeed. We need to challenge ourselves and those around us to always push intellectual boundaries and advocate for groupthink. We must continually consider possibilities and rely on the importance of reimagining and redefining what our version of success looks like, then act upon it. Rethinking as a process is the foundation for sustainable growth, development and success. It's never about being perfect, it's about being present, every day. https://www.mni.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ecreed/ https://www.instagram.com/mni_targetedmedia/ ********************************************************************* This episode of Small Business Success Talk brought to you by: Chrysaetos.

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover's AI assistant, Charlotte, shares his recent Human Capital Leadership article, "Assessing a Company's Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: A Guide for HR & Leadership Professionals." Read the full article here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/post/assessing-a-company-s-commitment-to-diversity-inclusion-a-guide-for-hr-leadership-professionals. From the conclusion: "Promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace is not just a matter of moral and social responsibility, but it can also bring about numerous benefits for companies. These benefits include increased creativity, innovation, and collaboration among employees from different backgrounds. As organizational leaders, it's our responsibility to assess a company's commitment to diversity and inclusion before recommending them to potential employees or clients. By looking at a company's leadership team, recruitment and retention practices, and community involvement, we can get a better idea of how committed they are to these values. Let's strive to create truly diverse and inclusive workplaces that benefit everyone involved."

Join host Christy Smallwood in this Small Business Success Talks episode as she sits down with special guest George Potts from Fifth Influence. Together, they delve into an insightful discussion covering a wide range of topics including marketing, leadership, small business success, objectives and key results, people management, growth, coaching, strategic planning, and much more. Discover valuable strategies and actionable advice that can help propel your business towards success this summer and beyond. https://smallbusinesssuccesstalk.biz/ GUEST'S BIO: George Potts started Fifth Influence a year after leading the digital and social media efforts on the celebrated 84 Lumber Super Bowl advertising campaign in 2017. Recognized as one of the top 10 Super Bowl campaigns of all time, recipient of a Cannes Gold Lion, covered and discussed by 1,000s of media outlets, featured in several advertising textbooks, it generated so much interest to watch the conclusion of the commercial online that it broke the internet. It was such a pop cultural phenomenon that Saturday Night Live lampooned the effort in a skit featuring Cecily Strong a week after the Super Bowl. Over 20 years George produced award winning digital and social media efforts for tens of iconic brands from Huffy bikes to Nestle Drumstick and rising challenger brands like Premier Protein and YellaWood accomplishing a litany of digital marketing firsts such as: • The earliest CPG brand integrations in social media games for Dreyer's/Edy's Fruit Bars (now Outshine) and Stouffer's Mac N Cheese in Zynga's Farmville • Cross-referencing Google Earth data with social media profiles to target and advertise to homeowners that need decks for YellaWood, and • Facebook live-streaming of hunting and angling outings on Facebook for Dick's Sporting Goods' Field & Stream brand and retail stores. Potts brought big brand digital advertising and marketing bona fides to political and issue advocacy campaigns. He's not a political novice though. Thirty-years ago, he graduated from Duquesne University with a B.A. in Political Science and moved to Washington, D.C. to pursue a Ph.D. in American Politics. Over the summer however, he quickly made connections, abandoned his plans, and worked on Capitol Hill. When his girlfriend and now wife asked him to return to Pittsburgh a few years later, he pivoted and built a career in digital advertising, but never abandoned politics. He would freelance as digital communications advisor to local and regional political campaigns including several Pittsburgh mayoral races, occasionally bringing the work into the agency he was working for at the time. He is also a recognized expert in using social media listening to guide and predict political campaigns. One example: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ‘Sara's to Lose'. https://www.linkedin.com/company/fifthinfluence/ https://twitter.com/fifthinfluence https://www.instagram.com/fifthinfluence/ https://www.facebook.com/fifthinfluence Listen in to George's podcast at https://marketingpodcasts.net/show/yajagoff-on-fifth/ ********************************************************************* This episode of Small Business Success Talk brought to you by: Chrysaetos.

Building a Team is Not Easy, and It Must Be Intentional If you have ever tried to build a team from the ground up, then you know first hand the difficulties and challenges you can face.  And in today's business environment building a team can even be more challenging as more and more teams are some combination of remote and in office a "hybrid" if you will.  What are the principles when trying to build a new team? On this episode of A New Direction Chief Potential Officer of Kevin Eikenberry group, Kevin Eikenberry is listed as one of the Top 30 Leadership Professionals by Global Gurus joins us, as well as co-author Wayne Turmel cofounder of the Remote Leadership Institute.  Kevin and Wayne help us understand that there are many components and questions that you should be asking before you build a team. For example: Have you considered the culture?  What is that going to look like for the team?  What does bringing on a new team member do to the team?  How do you get everyone to buy in?  How are you going to execute your plan?  What about communication?  Collaboration?  Cohesion?  How is that going to look?  There simply is more to the story than just building a team. Then you may have to ask yourself, what if you have an existing team and you want to alter the culture?  Maybe you have new leadership?  Maybe it's a merger?  Now what do you do?  What questions should you be asking?  What are the roles of leadership?  What role does everyone else play in creating this new culture? Clearly attempting to create a new team is not going to be easy in a hybrid world.  But Kevin and Wayne will help us sort it out.  If you would like to have the questions that Kevin and Wayne ask to help you design your team you can click on over to https://longdistanceteambook.com/questions A Book that Can Help Design or Redesign Any Team in Any Industry Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel's book "The Long-Distance Team: Designing Your Team for Everyone's Success" is a guide, and practical tool kit for anyone who wants to build a new team, or having to redesign an existing team.   The questions that the author's ask in each section of the book are thought provoking and really help those in leadership and beyond come to grips with those areas in building a team that are often overlooked and ignored. The Long Distance Team has been written certainly with the remote/hybrid in mind.  But after I read and outlined the book, I have found that the practical principles are so sound and solid, that these questions and suggestions can be applied to any team regardless of remote or in the office. I really enjoyed this book and have taken to heart the lessons and will be applying them to my current work in redesigning a current team that will be going through a leadership transition.

Dr. Laura welcomes New York Times bestselling author and thought leader Cy Wakeman back to the podcast. Dr. Laura dives into aspects of Cy's most recent book, “Life's Messy, Live Happy”, and Cy offers her unique and inspirational perspective on the reality of why she wrote the book.Cy Wakeman challenges listeners to examine what happiness really is and discusses what she terms “toxic positivity” with Dr. Laura. Cy did not want to write a book simply telling people how to be happy, but wanted to say “hey, join in the club of humanness - this is our human experience”. She weighs in on the three questions that have changed her life, the true depths of how to look at gratitude, and the differences between self-care and self-soothing. Cy's warm presence and the insightful thoughts she shares with Dr. Laura are not to be missed.“And so I wanted to write a book that wasn't about toxic positivity, like pressuring people to be happy in the midst of a pandemic, but really showing people how you can be happy in the context of your entire life, that there's space for all of it. You can build a life big enough to hold sadness and happiness at the same time.” - Cy WakemanAbout Cy Wakeman:Cy Wakeman is a drama researcher, global thought-leader, and New York Times best-selling author who is recognized for cultivating a counter-intuitive, reality-based approach to leadership.

What you'll learn about in this episode: How David immigrated to the United States from Iran, learned English, finished graduate school, and built an astonishing career as an executive coach, author and expert How David defines “relationship economics”, and why prioritizing relationships with intentionality and being strategic in which relationships you invest in is crucial How the global pandemic and the need for social distancing have impacted our in-person relationships, and why digital relationships need to be sustained with personal connections Why focusing on fewer, more authentic relationships can be a powerful differentiating factor for your business as we emerge from the pandemic How David created and curates his own professional community that fosters respectful and civil discourse and authentic engagements Why relationships require an investment of time, effort and resources, and why narrowing your focus allows you to build more authentic connections How many of David's clients have had their most successful year ever because they entered the pandemic with great maneuverability Why you should “diversify your portfolio of relationships”, and how “hybrid relationships” can benefit you throughout your work and life Why learning to ask better questions can be a powerful tactic for stronger relationships, and what skills you should focus on developing to master your relationships Why following up on your conversations and relationships and looking for new ways to add value is vital Resources: Read David's book Relationship Economics and learn how to prioritize relationships Website: https://nourgroup.com/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidnour/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/nour-group/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/TheNourGroup/ Twitter: @davidnour Additional Resources: Free Executive Leadership Summary report from Predictive ROI: https://predictiveroi.com/research Sell With Authority by Drew McLellan and Stephen Woessner: https://amzn.to/39y7x13 Predictive ROI Free Resource Library: https://predictiveroi.com/resources/ Stephen Woessner's LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/stephenwoessner/

His audience was dozens of professionals engaged in a thorough 9-month program that enhances their ability to lead vital efforts in their communities and on the job. You'll hear references to the mighty Sheetz convenience store chain because this talk took place in a brand-new Sheetz corporate facility.
