Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Penny Burke, one of the hardest things in growing a small business is managing time, especially balancing business development ("hunting") with project delivery ("cooking and eating"). She explains that in a project-based business, it's challenging to constantly juggle winning new work while also delivering high-quality outcomes. Additionally, she emphasizes that people management — hiring the right team and dealing with performance issues—is another tough but crucial aspect of sustainable growth. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Penny Burke's favorite business book that has helped her the most is "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. She considers it a classic and values its timeless insights on building strong relationships and effective communication—key skills in both leadership and business growth. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Penny Burke does not recommend any specific podcasts or online learning tools to help grow a small business. She mentions that her husband uses such resources more than she does, and she personally prefers listening to music during her downtime instead of engaging with podcasts or similar tools. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Penny Burke emphasizes the importance of market mapping as a methodology rather than a specific tool. She recommends identifying where your business can play, where it can win, and where you can build your fame. This market-focused thinking helps small businesses define their niche and develop a strong positioning strategy, which is critical for growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Penny Burke's advice to herself on day one of starting out in business is: "Just be good. Don't worry about size. Just whatever it is that you're going to do, do it really, really, really well." This highlights her focus on quality and excellence over rapid growth.

If people avoid giving you feedback or seem cautious around you, they may see you as a difficult person. Dr. Gabe breaks down ten telltale signs you might be tough to work or connect with, from people avoiding giving you feedback, always finding yourself in conflict, and struggling with teamwork, to being defensive or focusing more on being right than being effective. Drawing from Shakespeare's wisdom—“to thine own self be true”—Dr. Gabe encourages self-reflection and even suggests asking trusted friends for the raw, unfiltered truth about our personalities.Need relationship advice?

CTO Series: Jussi Mononen on the Human Side of Software Development and Technical Leadership In this CTO Series episode, we explore the intersection of technology and people with Jussi Mononen, CTO of CarbonLink. Drawing from his extensive experience as an Agile practitioner and technical leader, Jussi shares valuable insights on effective software development, technical strategy alignment, and the critical human elements that drive successful technology implementations. The Transformative Power of Agile "It's all about people." Jussi's journey as a technology leader was fundamentally shaped when he discovered Agile methodologies. Coming from a background of waterfall-like approaches to software development, the introduction of Agile principles opened up a broader perspective that transformed his view of the profession. What began as technical work creating billing software evolved into a deeper understanding of the collaboration challenges in problem-solving. This shift helped Jussi develop a more humanistic and holistic approach to software development, recognizing that the human dynamics are often more complex than the technical challenges themselves. Every line of code eventually becomes a liability, as software is maintained over decades Software is only truly "done" when you remove the plug and it no longer exists Direct communication with customers is essential for understanding the real problems that need solving Balancing Technical Strategy with Business Needs "Be careful what you choose in terms of technology as you need to maintain it forever—hopefully." Creating a technical strategy that aligns with business objectives while remaining adaptable requires careful consideration of both immediate and long-term factors. Jussi emphasizes the importance of considering maintainability over a decade-long horizon while organizing technology stacks that don't limit organizational agility. When selecting technologies, consider whether you can find people already familiar with your tech stack Evaluate whether your technology choices allow you to fulfill the responsibilities your customers pay you to handle Be prepared to abandon technologies that aren't working, despite the sunk cost Structure your technical organization to maximize speed and adaptability Fostering Collaboration Between Tech and Business "It's not about 'who wins,' it's about making good decisions." Effective collaboration between technical and business units is built on foundations of respect and trust. As a self-described optimist about humanity, Jussi approaches cross-functional work by giving respect to colleagues and trusting them to make sound decisions within their domains of expertise. Listen carefully to people and make a genuine effort to understand their perspectives Focus on making well-considered decisions rather than striving for theoretical "best" decisions Remember that people develop software, not processes or tools—maximize each team member's potential Create environments where differing viewpoints are valued as inputs to better decision-making Strategic Roadmapping and Adaptability "We constantly seek information about what might be changing." Maintaining a clear vision of the future while remaining adaptable is a critical balancing act for technology leaders. Jussi's approach involves maintaining a rolling two-quarter roadmap that provides directional clarity while incorporating new information and signals from various sources. Review and revise roadmaps weekly to incorporate new information Use tools like Trello to maintain lists of priorities and possibilities Actively seek diverse signals about changing requirements and technologies Use the roadmap to communicate investment priorities to stakeholders like the board Overcoming Complex Technical Challenges "Someone needs to give enough love to the items in the backlog." The most significant challenge in Jussi's career came during a 4.5-year project reimplementing critical university systems that had been in use for over 20 years. This complex undertaking highlighted the importance of people skills alongside technical capabilities when managing diverse stakeholders with conflicting needs. Be prepared to handle conflicting needs and requirements from different stakeholders Establish a shared direction before attempting to solve detailed technical challenges Recognize that many critical challenges in large projects are about people, not technology Give proper attention to backlog items to ensure they receive the consideration they deserve Leadership Philosophy and Learning "Choose the context more accurately. Involve yourself with people you look up to." Rather than pointing to a single book that influenced his approach to technical leadership, Jussi emphasizes the importance of context and learning from those around you. His leadership philosophy centers on carefully selecting environments with admirable people and absorbing knowledge through direct experience and observation. Understand the specific context you're operating in before applying generic principles Surround yourself with people whose approach and values you respect Learn continuously from the practical experiences of peers and colleagues About Jussi Mononen Jussi is a problem solver, programmer and business-to-technology translator. People side of software systems development, as he often says: "it's all about people".He has both tech and people street cred, being a long time Agile practitioner, and now the CTO of a promising scale-up in Helsinki: CarbonLink. You can link with Jussi Mononen on LinkedIn.

I am sharing 5 people skills to become a great leader. The ones I am discussing today are some of the most important people skills; the ones that every really great leader displays. Great leaders have the leadership skills to bring something out of us. To become a great people leader, encourage, inspire and motivate through how you make people feel and what you motivate them to achieve.--- --- Communication is one of the most important skills for leadership. I share 5 communication skills that I view as essential people skills for leaders and good people skills in the workplace for anyone with ambitions. There are a lot of skills needed for how to become a great leader at work. Leadership is about change. Being courageous is a requirement for leaders. It takes courage to change, to do something different. It takes courage to speak your mind, to share your ideas. Courage is needed for how to become a great team leader.Demonstrating integrity is also a very important skill. I share 8 different ways to demonstrate your integrity (and there are plenty more). Integrity builds trust, it creates safety, it means staff members will be treated fairly.People follow people they admire and who help them bring the best out of themselves. Being yourself, being authentic is needed for people to relate to you, to learn about you. Trust is massive when leading others. If you are not being true to yourself, how can others trust you?Finally, flexibility is a critical skill of many management skills. Leadership skills for managers and leadership skills training focus on different approaches to the massive range of situations and personalities any manager faces at work. Work on the flexibility of your approach because everyone and every situation is different.  Work at your people skills training and learning and in particular these 5 core people skills to become a great leader.If you have any question on “5 People Skills To Become A Great Leader”, please leave a comment below and I will get back to you. Jess ColesEnhance.training

Sometimes, not having a plan leads to the best places. That's how my guest, Viktoria Hubner, found talent development. Studying communication science, she thought it might lead her to be a writer or a journalist one day, but after some professional exploration, she pivoted to talent development.  At Dynatrace, she is designing educational programs targeted at people's soft skills. At first, she introduced peer-to-peer learning programs for 1,200 people in our R&D team but is now working on scaling them company-wide. One of her projects, LEAP, is a community of more than 40 Dynatracers passionate about inspiring people's leadership and enhancing communication and collaboration by being a sparring partner for teams or facilitating learning sessions about presentation practice, feedback, collaboration, body language, and critical conversations. Such programs create spaces where people connect and feel safe to grow, experiment, and challenge ideas at Dynatrace, ultimately fostering a sense of belonging. Tune in to hear more about Talent Development's role in tech companies and Viky's career story. Where to find us:      Connect with Sue Quackenbush on LinkedIn  Connect with Viktoria Hubner on LinkedIn  Discover the opportunities at Dynatrace and take your career to the next level: careers.dynatrace.com

About the Guest:Meet Dr. Bruce Stillman, president and CEO of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, one of the oldest and most distinguished scientific and research facilities on the planet. Growing up, Bruce knew that medicine and science were in his future—he was already volunteering in hospitals at the age of fifteen. But little did he suspect that his first gig out of medical school would prove to be his entire career. “I was thirty-eight at the time,” he says. “And I got plucked out of the faculty here to become assistant director and, ultimately, director…I had no experience in running anything. But I knew the culture of the lab, the organization, and I think that was the most important thing that I've carried forward.” This knowledge informed his leadership approach, which ultimately led both the organization and its faculty and staff to flourish under his direction.

Just like reading or riding a bike, social skills don't develop automatically—they're learned through guidance, practice, and real-world experience. Children need our help to navigate the complex world of human interaction. Watch how your child connects with others. Do they struggle with sharing, taking turns, or reading emotional cues? These observations can reveal which social skills need extra attention. Remember that each child develops at their own pace, with some naturally gravitating toward social situations while others need more encouragement. Create opportunities for your child to practice these essential skills in supportive environments. Family dinners can become training grounds for conversation skills, playdates offer lessons in cooperation, and community activities provide diverse social experiences. When challenges arise—as they inevitably will—use them as valuable teaching moments rather than disappointments. With your patient guidance, your child can develop the social confidence they'll need throughout life, from kindergarten friendships to future professional relationships.

When advice goes wrong...My daughter is an avid soccer player.On a recent cold and dark Saturday morning, I was standing on the sideline cheering her on at a match - the priceless perks of being a dad.At some point, the opposing team coach was shouting to their players, "You need to defend better!" And all I could think to myself at that moment was, "That's terrible advice." Not because they were defending well - rather the opposite. But, I mean, "defend better" - would you know what you're supposed to do? Should I press higher, get closer to the attacker, make more forward runs? This type of advice often just leads to more confusion and coordination problems.Now, in design, we also get this type of well-intended but counter-productive advice all too often.Want a classic example? How about "designers need to understand business"? No sh*t Sherlock.We hear this ALL the time.Very rarely does someone go beyond the surface and get specific about what "understanding business" actually means.Fortunately for us, we have someone on the Show today who does - Ryan Scott. Ryan has an impressive track record in design, but he also holds an MBA degree. This combination is quite unique and gives him the ability to look at challenges from different perspectives with empathy for both sides.So in this episode, we unpack what it actually takes to bridge the gap between business and design. You'll be surprised to hear how many skills you already have to make this crossover successfully. It's not easy, but it's not as hard or distant as you might think, either.

The most impactful ministry just might happen in the under-programmed times, the times sitting by the well (or the campfire) hearing someone's story. When we give our staff members, and even campers themselves, the "how" - meaning the skills and the practice in listening, welcoming, and connecting-building - we give them a gift they can and will take into the rest of life.On this episode, we chat with Lyle Griner, from Peer Ministry Leadership, who has been equipping people, especially youth and young adults, with vital relational  skills as a key, maybe THE key, ministry practice in our world today. Lyle shares where Peer Ministry Leadership came from, and how the skills he and others have spent decades using to empower ministry in churches and communities, comes to camp through staff and camper training and programming (or sometime de-programming) opportunities.Learn more about Peer Ministry Leadership and find your way to a staff training experience at peerministry.org. You can also read Lyle's book, Youth Are Either Leading or Leaving, to explore how we can ensure youth know they are deeply needed in the church and the world today.Download the #StatOfTheWeekCome help camp thrive with us on Facebook, Instagram, or at sacredplaygrounds.com.

The past few weeks have been busy ones for Leaving Cert students, with mock exams taking place. As we are now in pre-exam season, with our future graduates making their all-important CAO decisions, an important thing to consider is transferable skills. Transferable skills – or “power skills” – are becoming more desirable in graduates and the future workforce. What makes these skills so key is that they are “human” skills that cannot be replicated by A.I. - or Artificial Intelligence. This means someone with transferable skills has a significant advantage in the job market. To learn more about this, Alan Morrissey was joined in-studio by Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration and Director of the Transferable Skills Unit at University of Limerick, Dr. Chris McInerney.

Found a great list we all can connect to from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) where it's all about being able to “learn a lot about people from what they lack.” These things are so true about not only what we can learn from others, but also what we can try and learn about ourselves. These areas are so valuable: accountability, communication skills, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, honesty, having boundaries, and integrity. So much to pick up on when we have our eyes and ears open a bit - again, especially when looking in the mirror.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.
