2-Minute Tip: Slow Down   Many speakers take the stage with their adrenaline pumping as the try to stifle their nerves or live in the exciting moment. Many times, they end up speaking to quickly. So try to slow down.   When we speak, we are often excited about, or at least familiar with, our topic. Our tendency is to go quickly over the basic stuff.   But the reason folks are in our audience is that they don’t know this stuff. They are likely hearing it for the first time. They are trying to digest and process this information as you speak. They are looking at your slides, too.   So slow down a bit. Give every word a chance to sink in. And use a varied pace to truly land your key points.   Post Tip Discussion: Meet Morgan Lopes Morgan Lopes got his start in public speaking riding a horse and wearing a cape at dinner time.   He’s gone on to be CEO of one company and CTO of another — telling stories and working to change the world.   Some of the key things we talk about are managing his multiple roles, the importance of the niche, and the power of story.   Bio   As a software engineer and entrepreneur, Morgan Lopes pursues deliberate, consistent progress over time as life’s greatest growth strategy. Regardless of his job titles, leadership is a choice not a rank. Morgan strives to make that choice daily and challenges others to do the same.   Polar Notion. Cofounded in 2012   New Story (YS S15).   A human centered software from design to development and beyond.   Joined as Chief Technology Officer in 2016   Ending survival mode through home construction and global housing innovation.   3-Keys to Running Multiple Companies   Disciple — Morgan keeps a tight schedule, gets up early and goes to bed early. He respects the importance of sleep, and refuses to let email take control of his day. Communication — Frequent and deliberate communication with team members is essential to keeping everyone on the same page. Just as important is inviting and accepting feedback — even when it’s not positive. It’s especially important for a C-level executive to be open and welcoming of criticism from other members of the team. Grace — Things don’t always go perfectly, and Morgan is grateful for the grace his family and team members extend to him when things don’t go well.   New Story 3D Printed Homes   I’ll just leave this here.     Links   Morgan’s website http://www.morganjlopes.com/ Morgan on Twitter https://twitter.com/MorganJLopes Morgan on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/morganjlopes/ Polar Notion http://www.polarnotion.com/ New Story Charity https://newstorycharity.org/ New Story on Twitter https://twitter.com/newstorycharity New Story on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/new-story-charity/ New Story on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/newstorycharity/ New Story on Medium https://medium.com/@NewStoryCharity New Story on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwcfvCGwnBxzNMBo137Q4Ng   Call To Action   Check out the work Polar Notion is doing here.

Do you want to grow your digital agency with amazing talent, but worried you can’t pay top dollar? This unique “reverse recruitment model” for finding, training and keeping incredible talent might make it more doable than you think. In this episode, we’ll cover: Why and how to implement a reverse recruitment model. How to develop agency talent with an entry level team. 2 big benefits to reverse recruitment. Today’s guest is Morgan Lopes, CEO of Polar Notion, the web and mobile app development agency he co-founded 5 years ago. Like so many of us, he’s an accidental agency owner who shares with us some valuable advice about hiring a team to grow your agency. He has created and implemented a new recruitment model that’s netting fantastic results. Why Hiring Entry-Level People Can Grow Your Agency Morgan had an amazing mentor when he was young and new to the industry. He developed his craft through the generosity of an older, more experienced person who would not accept payment for his time. Instead, he asked Morgan to pay it forward. Years later, the solution is Polar Notion’s reverse recruitment model. How the Reverse Recruitment Model Works: Skills are teachable, personality is inherent. Hire entry level candidates, typically right out of school. Hiring process focused on personality and character instead of skill level. Character traits to look for: teachable, curious, thoughtful, actionable Skills are teachable, character is not. Train skills and develop the craft in people who are already a culture fit. How to Develop Agency Talent from the Ground Up At first Polar Notion had no process and it was messier than it should’ve been. Now there’s a process and curriculum in place. New hires are onboarded and trained based on specific guidelines. Employees follow process/steps and their appointed mentor makes daunting tasks more bearable. Expectations for new hires and existing team are clear so the program is more successful. 2 Big Benefits of Reverse Recruitment 1. A Company Mission Transitions to a Way of Life This isn’t a “thing” Morgan wants to talk about all the time or force his team do. They’re starting to create habits of mentoring and teaching each other - which is the ultimate goal. Instead of mentorship just being a company mission he aims for it to be something that is naturally ingrained in their culture and lived out. 2. A Super Low Employee Turnover Rate Morgan's agency has only ever let one person go. Ever. When you’re hiring based on personality and character everything clicks and people stick. Also, if/when issues arise the team is more apt to talk to leadership and work through a solution. Need Guidance and Support to Grow Your Agency 3X Faster?
