Barry-Wehmiller's Chief People Officer, Rhonda Spencer, was recently recognized by the St. Louis Business Journal in their 2025 HR Awards for Innovation in HR. This was a long overdue recognition of Rhonda's leadership, but also the work of the BW Global People Team and everthing they've done to help all of our people, all over the world, feel like they matter. Rhonda has been with Barry-Wehmiller since before the development of our Guiding Principles of Leadership and was one of the major voices in its creation. She was our first Chief People Officer and it's her primary responsibility to be the steward of our values and make sure that light shines to the furthest reaches of our organization. Recently, Rhonda took part in a webinar discussion with Mike Budden, one of the partners in our Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute, Barry-Wehmiller's consulting arm that specializes in helping other organizations unleash the extraordinary in their businesses and their people. They do this by helping those organizations identify, develop and equip their leaders. You can learn more about them at ccoleadership.com. On this week's podcast, we want to showcase an edited version of that discussion. It's an interesting conversation as Mike and Rhonda discuss what it means to scale a Truly Human Leadership culture globally. They talk about the processes and systems we've developed to try to make that happen and there's a lot of insight to apply to your own organization.

This week our host Brandi Starr is joined by Jeff Winters, CRO of Abstrakt Marketing Group. While at a previous sales position, Sapper founder Jeff Winters implemented a unique email strategy that consistently landed him in Fortune 100 boardrooms. But every time he finished his pitch, these companies would grill him on his strategy: “Great product, but how the heck did you get this meeting?" In 2013, after hearing this a dozen-too-many times, he started Sapper Consulting. Since then, Jeff has led the business to become one of the fastest growing companies in St. Louis and was most recently featured in St. Louis Business Journal's list of 40 under 40. He is a candid, thoughtful, and dynamic leader. Once Sapper was acquired by Abstrakt Marketing Group in 2021, Jeff took over as Chief Revenue Officer, leading the sales and sales enablement teams tasked with getting the company to reach their $70M yearly sales goal. In this episode of Revenue Rehab, Brandi and Jeff address the challenge of ineffective BDR/SDR emails that often get overlooked and demonstrate how a refined email strategy can significantly increase meeting acquisition rates.   Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers: Topic #1 Evolving Email Strategy in Sales [09:28] “There's no such thing as a good list, you have to verify everything," Jeff states, underscoring the necessity of due diligence in sales prospecting. "A lot of people skip these steps and then wonder why their email campaigns aren't effective. It's about the discipline in verification, and then actually getting out there and confirming email addresses.” Jeff continues, emphasizing, "This is what separates the successful outreach from the noise in your inbox." Topic #2 The Art of Writing Sales Emails [17:45] Jeff explains the nuanced craft of engaging potential clients via email. “Avoid traditional greetings and close with something unexpected. Use an ampersand, keep it short, and stay away from jargon that makes your email cringey,” he advises. Brandi adds, “It's about connecting with the person on the other end, understanding their problem, and presenting your email as a conversation starter, not just a pitch.” Topic #3 Integrating Technology and Email Sequences [31:09] “Technology now plays a bigger role in making sure our emails get noticed,” Jeff remarks, discussing the evolution of email tools. “We've moved from just crafting content to focusing on how to get our emails into the eyes of decision-makers.” He shares, “A successful email sequence involves multiple touchpoints over weeks, combining emailing with calling, respecting the cool-off periods, and constantly testing our strategies to optimize for response rates.” This approach, he notes, is crucial for maintaining domain health and avoiding being blacklisted. So, What's the One Thing You Can Do Today? Jeff advises revenue leaders to base their sales planning and budgeting on the number of meetings rather than traditional sales quotas. He suggests assessing how many meetings are held, which channels are used, and the closure rates of each channel. By focusing on these metrics, leaders can create more accurate and reliable forecasts, transitioning from quota-based forecasting to a model that emphasizes the effectiveness of meetings in generating sales. Buzzword Banishment: Jeff Winters' Buzzword to Banish is the term "value add." He expresses his disdain for the phrase by explaining, “It's just so overused and nebulous. Everyone throws it around without really understanding what actual value they're adding.” Jeff wants to rid the business world of this term to encourage clearer, more meaningful communications.  Links: Get in touch with Jeff Winters:        Abstrakt Marketing LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Podcast Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

In the heating-and-cooling industry, they're calling it “The Great Consolidation” as the pace of company acquisitions has risen from about 20 in 2011 to 120 a year by 2019. Meanwhile, The Great Consolidation is slamming head-first into the pandemic-born Great Resignation, as firms battle for a share of the scarce pool of talent on the market.That's the environment Chris Hoffmann has faced since 2016, after taking over the St. Louis-based, family-owned business his father began 28 years earlier with four employees and a simple business model. Today, while he watches competitors grow through acquisition and consolidation, Hoffmann sees an alternative path: scaling up geographically and serving existing customers more deeply.That's why he's expanded into Nashville. That's why he's exploring adding pest control to his suite of commercial and residential services. But there's still that other nagging problem. "The companies that are going to be able to grow are the ones that can solve the talent issue,” Hoffmann said on a recent industry podcast. “Everyone knows that. Everyone's talking about that."In this episode of On Principle, we talk to Chris Hoffmann about how he came to realize Hoffmann Brothers would have to make some big investments to thrive in a heavily fragmented but consolidating industry. What drove his decision to grow by expanding his service area and his services? Why did he decide against buying his way into new markets by acquiring existing residential and commercial services firms?And what does it take to move from simply recruiting talent on the open market to growing your own in a newly built, 15,000-square-foot training facility?Related LinksThe Hoffmann Brothers websiteThe family office site Chris and his family created to manage investmentsMore about Peter BoumgardenThe Koch Family Center for Family EnterpriseA piece Chris Hoffmann wrote for the Tugboat Institute on employee engagementThe St. Louis Business Journal reports on Hoffmann Brothers' expansionThe Olin Brookings Commission project referenced in this episodeCreditsThis podcast is a production of Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis.

John Munie is a highly accomplished and experienced leader who has been the President of Focal Pointe since its founding over 25 years ago. He has a unique ability to create lasting relationships with clients, employees, and vendors, and his commitment to building trust and loyalty has earned him a reputation as a highly respected and admired leader in the landscape industry. Established in 1998, Focal Pointe is a distinguished landscape design, installation, and maintenance company that caters to commercial properties in the St. Louis, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, and Springfield/Branson regions. The company's clientele comprises prominent entities in the entertainment, healthcare, retail, education, corporate office, and industrial sectors. In 2022, Focal Pointe was recognized as the 116th largest landscape company in the United States by Landscape Management magazine. The company has also received multiple Top Workplace awards by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and is often on the list of Fastest Growing Companies by the St. Louis Business Journal. Before founding Focal Pointe, John spent years working in family businesses and was fascinated by how brands connect and identify with their customers. He believed an emotional connection with customers, which can be especially powerful when supported by beautiful landscaping, was largely overlooked throughout the industry. As a result, he built the company's foundation on a “people first” culture, creating a uniquely warm client experience and lasting relationships. John's leadership skills extend beyond relationships, as he possesses a deep understanding of all facets of business operations. In addition to his role at Focal Pointe, John has served on the boards of multiple startup companies and nonprofit organizations, including as a charter Board Member of Aspire Software, a Service Titan Company. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Illinois State University and is an avid reader, believing in lifelong learning. In addition to raising their four children, John and his wife Molly founded the Focal Pointe Family Foundation, which is committed to bringing hope to families navigating a traumatic life event. In his free time, John enjoys spending time outdoors, writing, and making memories with family and friends.

Akeem Shannon was stressed. In three weeks, his Shark Tank episode would air, the episode where he'd pitch Flipstik—a novel cellphone attachment that doubles as a kickstand and a sticky wall mount.He knew one thing with absolute certainty: Whether or not the “sharks” on the popular ABC-TV show offered him a deal, he was going to sell some Flipstiks. Probably a lot of them. And he didn't have any. Or any money.At the time, in mid-October 2020, Shannon's startup was so young he sometimes sold only one Flipstik a day. One bright spot: He'd recently landed a commitment of $50,000 from Arch Grants, a St. Louis nonprofit that provides capital to startups willing to plant roots in the community.With the Shark Tank air date weeks away, he contacted his manufacturer in China. “I need product. Lots of it. Right now,” he said. He mobilized his team to build a makeshift distribution warehouse. He upgraded his website's software to handle the crush of transactions he expected. He maxed out his credit cards.It wasn't enough. Ultimately, he had to pick up the phone to Arch Grants, which was supposed to pay out its commitment in quarterly installments. “Is there any way I can get some cash up-front—right away?” Shannon pleaded. “I don't have two weeks to wait.”The cash arrived. The episode aired—with one more hitch. Ninety seconds into his segment, ABC broke in with news from the 2020 election. “I just cried when it happened,” Shannon said. But it didn't matter. He'd set the hook. He reeled in Shark Tank fans, with orders totaling more than $100,000 in just a few days. When the episode repeated on January 1, 2021, sales spiked once again. Ultimately, Shannon got an offer from one of the sharks—a deal that later fell apart off-air. Yet for Shannon, the episode was a turning point. The last-minute race to prepare, the 11th-hour request for cash, maxed out cards—it had paid off.RELATED LINKSThe Flipstik websiteAkeem Shannon's segment on Shark Tank (including his rap)Akeem on InstagramMichael Wall's faculty page at WashU Olin Business SchoolThe St. Louis Business Journal on the Inc. rankingsCREDITSThis podcast is a production of Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis.

Today's guest expert shares insights on how large organizations can nurture and empower rising leaders and unready organizations.Kwofe Coleman is President & CEO of the Municipal Theatre Association of St. Louis (The Muny). After beginning his Muny career in 1998 as an usher, he has advanced through the administrative ranks at The Muny, including staff accountant, house manager, digital communications manager, director of marketing and communications, managing director, and became president of the nation's oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre since 2021.As President & CEO, Kwofe leads the historic theatre into its 105th season of producing live musical theatre on a grand scale. He maintains overall accountability, responsibility and authority for the management of the business and affairs of The Muny in accordance with its mission. Through this role he continues to embrace and articulate the artistic and institutional vision, develop progressive income streams and new strategic initiatives to deepen the organization's community engagement, educational and outreach efforts. Kwofe was instrumental in navigating the theatre through the pandemic. He also played a key role in The Muny's successful $100 million Second Century Capital Campaign.Kwofe is the board president of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre (NAMT) and is an active contributor to the St. Louis community, serving on the Commerce Bank Advisory Board, St. Louis University High School Board of Trustees, Cor Jesu Academy Advisory Council, and as a founding board member of Atlas School. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Saint Louis Club and supports various social service organizations.In 2020 Kwofe was recognized by The St. Louis Business Journal in its “40 Under 40” class. He was a Fellowship Advisor for the DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland (2018) and a recipient of The St. Louis American's Salute to Young Leaders Award (2015). In addition to his Muny work, Kwofe consults for various concerts, artist development, management and production projects, including executive producer for 2020's A New Holiday, a short musical film created by LIFE Creative Group and broadcast on local PBS networks.MAIN TAKEAWAYS:Alex worked at a women's shelter in his early 20s, which he said was emotionally taxing at times. Kwofe was a death penalty investigator for the Southern Center for Human Rights and built relationships with each person he worked with to understand their unique situation. Kwofe said the work had great value to him and any discomfort he felt didn't trump the client's reality. Doing the best job possible for the client required an emotional investment for the client to have trust in his work. You can do everything right in a job and do your absolute best and there's no change. You have to figure out how to advance over the issue. Kwofe started from the bottom, but he's now here, at the top. At 16 years old, he worked at the Muny as an usher and advanced through the administrative ranks at The Muny, including staff accountant, house manager, digital communications manager, director of marketing and communications, and managing director, and became president of the nation's oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre since 2021. Kwofe said he stayed because it was a great opportunity and a community-based and important art institute in St. Louis.People are more aware of who they are individually and comfortable with who they are. The stories and plays at the Muny aren't rewritten but show a wonderful world of diversity. To prepare the leadership that comes up after you, train those who look and don't look like you. Invest in the next generation. (ie have internship and education programs for college and high school students) and show them the art form and opportunities available to...

Join Bishop Dudley and Dr. Marty K. Casey on this new podcast episode! How do you overcome hurt, disappointment, trauma and bounce back to a place of purpose? Dr Casey has the answers and techniques to move you pass hurt into being a hero to yourself and others who look to you for leadership. She brings all her past as actress, activist, personal coach and many awards from Presidential to regional to bear to elevate you into the leader you are called to be. BIO: After more than three decades as a performing artist on major global stages, Marty K. Casey, has transformed her craft beyond the world of entertainment to show the restorative power of the arts to heal hurting people. In 2020, just days before a forced lock down caused by a global pandemic, Dr. Casey performed her one-woman show in the Big Apple for the largest non-profit nation-wide, AARP New York. Casey brilliantly used the story of her own trauma-ridden life to give hope to a sold-out crowd. This performance shined the light on arts efficacy as a tool for mitigating trauma impact. Following her New York show, the close of theatres throughout the world brought an abrupt halt to Casey's live performances, a pivotal moment that prompted Dr. Casey to relaunch her artistic focus to address a more pressing societal need: trauma impact resolution. Toward this end, Casey leveraged the ARTS for therapeutic purposes, and in 2020, she founded UnGun® Institute, where the display of synergy between applied arts and trauma healing could be maximized and experienced by the masses. In the span of just two years, Dr. Casey and her Team have presented UnGun® workshops for organizations such as Preferred Family Healthcare (St. Louis, MO); St. Louis Public Schools (St. Louis, MO); Blessed are the Peace Makers and National Black Police Association (Dallas, TX); The Peace Center (Bathe, Maine); St. Louis Service Women's Post 404 (St. Louis, MO), To date, nearly 10,000 people have been positively impacted by UnGun® methodology and strategies. An ode to her entertainment roots and with expected impact on the entertainment industry, UnGun® products have been numerously featured inside the Gifting Suites of the Oscars and the Emmy Awards.Her message of healing and now her trademarked UnGun® approach for mitigating the impact of trauma have landed Dr. Casey on stages beyond the theatre to broader spaces that include government, education, business, healthcare, and community-based sectors. She has represented the UnGun® Institute as a featured presenter for the Parliament of the World's Religion Global Conference; World Unity Week; World Peace Week; Alex Haley Museum; American Voice Foundation; General Congress of Women; African American Museum; Chosen for Change Foundation; The Michael O.D. Brown Foundation; and Shoot for the Stars Foundation (Hip Hop Artist Pop Smoke Memorial Foundation) to name a few. Featured on the cover of the St. Louis Business Journal, Dr. Casey is lauded as one of the Top 25 Most Influential Businesswomen in St. Louis. In 2021, she received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award signed by President Joseph R. Biden. Dr. Casey actively serves on the Grants Council for PurposeEarth.com in alignment with her mission to heal communities through the empowerment of recovery through expressive arts. Globally recognized as a transformational trauma coach, Dr. Marty K. Casey remains committed to equipping as many people possible with strategies, tools, and techniques for eradicating harmful responses to trauma that wreak havoc on families, communities, and the world, at large. https//www.unguninstitute.com Support the showDevelop the Leader in YOU - Enroll in Classes on www.ileadacademy.net IG @BishopDudleyPHDFB @BishopDudleyPHDhttps://linktr.ee/bishopgvd
