“An intangible barrier within a hierarchy that prevents women or minorities from obtaining upper-level positions.” That's how Merriam-Webster defines the term “glass ceiling”, which was first coined by writer, consultant, and diversity advocate Marilyn Loden during a speech way back in 1978. But even today, despite decades of effort and attention, the glass ceiling remains a clear obstacle to women vying for leadership positions. On this episode of Wheel of Risk, host Alix McCabe is joined by two women with compelling stories about their own experiences climbing the corporate ladder: speaker, talent coach, and author, Roberta Matuson, and Allianz Trade's CEO for UK & Ireland, Sarah Murrow. Over the course of their conversation, they discuss both the progress that's been made in recent years as well as the societal norms that are still holding women back. They also explore how having women in leadership roles can benefit a company both financially and culturally, why underperforming organizations tend to have fewer female leaders, and why companies that ignore gender diversity do so at their own peril.

Pick up the phone and have that tough talk Roberta Matuson, the author of Can We Talk: 7 Principles for Managing Difficult Conversations at Work, joins me this week to discuss how to take on tough conversations with your team and your clients. You know, those conversations that we'd rather not have and often avoid, mess up or deflect because they make us uncomfortable. What is putting off difficult conversations costing you and your business? What about the tough talks you've had with team members that didn't go so well? When you avoid difficult conversations there is a financial, psychological, emotional, and energetic cost to you and your team. There can be an even greater cost if a discussion becomes heated or goes off course with an employee. Listen in to hear how you can apply Roberta's strategies to engage in productive and effective conversations that clarify your expectations, foster discussion and build a team. Do you need to raise your prices? Do any of your clients owe you money? It can be uncomfortable to reach out to a client to collect overdue payments or let them know that you are raising your prices. Do it the wrong way and you may find your clients leaving you. Tune in to hear our ideas on how to broach these touchy subjects with clients and actually build mutual respect in the process. It's all in the way you say it! As much as we as business owners need to find a way to engage in difficult talks with our team members, it's equally important that our employees feel they can talk to us and give us valuable feedback. Listen to hear Roberta and I recount stories about toxic work environments we found ourselves in early in our careers and how we each navigated these dangerous waters, bettered our careers and used these “wrong ways” to shape how we lead conversations and encourage feedback in each of our businesses today. What's in This Episode How to initiate a difficult discussion with a client, employee, or employer Getting what you want by changing your approach Why you need your employees to give you tough feedback The secret to turning your biggest critic into your biggest ally “You're in trouble”, provide feedback without sounding an alarm How to navigate a toxic work situation What is default management, and how to make it work for you What To Do Next Visit lisalarter.com/e41 for the transcript and all resources from this episode.
SEGMENT 1 with Roberta Matuson, starting at 0:00: Some call it the Great Resignation. Some call it the Great Refusal to Work. Whatever we call it the unemployment rate in April 2020 was 20 percent… now it's 4.6 percent. Small business owners report it is increasingly difficult to find people and the employee turnover rate is at an all-time high. What's going on here and how can your small business survive it?SEGMENT 2 with Devora Zack, starting at 20:15: In business and in life there are thinkers and feelers. Can they get along in your office? Can someone be both?SEGMENT 3 with Jacky Goh, starting at 39:15: We haven't talked a lot about crypto for small business on this show, but it's time to dive in. What types of retailers are accepting cryptocurrency and how can you actually use it to shop and earn rewards along the way?Sponsored by NiceJob
In this edition of Boating Industry Insider, content director and editor-in-chief David Gee introduces us to Roberta Matuson, President of Matuson Consulting. Her clients include General Motors, Microsoft, as well as many smaller privately-held businesses. She's the author of six books, including her most recent, "Can We Talk: Seven Principles for Managing Difficult Conversations at Work". In this interview, she states that the ‘Great Refusal to Work' is not what many think it is. “Organizations and leaders struggling to attract talent have been using the additional unemployment benefits provided during COVID-19 as a crutch,” says Matuson. “Of course, it's easier to blame someone else (in this case, the government) for your problems than to look inward to see if the problem might be you. She has some advice on how to stop valued employees from quitting, why your applicant tracking system might be a problem as well as some new places to dig for talent.
“The one thing that organizations need if they want to attract and keep talent is great leaders.” Roberta Matuson is a strategic adviser on talent and executive coach. Known as The Talent Maximizer, Roberta helps organizations attract and keep great people. At a young age, she was promoted to the HR executive suite at her company where she was suddenly in charge. She has since then launched her career advising clients on how to hire and keep the best talent and has been doing so for over 25 years. Author of several books including Suddenly in Charge, Talent Magnetism, and Evergreen Talent, she provides insight into managing expectations, saying no to businesses, improving business strengths, cultivating a success mindset, and the importance of coaching in performance management.

Roberta Matuson has been helping organizations find, hire, grow, and keep top talent for the last 25 years. She understands the frustrations of employee turnover that many employees and leaders experience and has coached her clients to help them become a place where employees love to work. Roberta is the author of six books including her latest book, “Can We Talk? Seven Principles for Managing Difficult Conversations at Work.” Roberta shares the foundational principles to have tough conversations, how to be respected (vs. liked), and how to keep your power even with bad bosses. Key Takeaways [3:05] In leadership, it's our behaviors that matter, not our intentions. [4;30] Difficult conversations are hard to do because no one truly likes confrontation. [5:35] Despite weekly standup meetings, managers still avoid the tough conversations because they don't want to hurt the other person. [6:35] Roberta noticed a lack in the market on how to have difficult conversations with your co-worker and your boss. This is why she decided to write a book. [8:40] The first time a boss tried to give Roberta feedback/set expectations, instead of standing up for herself, she gave away her power. She doesn't want to have that happen to you. [10:40] If you are unsure why your boss is giving you this kind of negative feedback, you can ask for a pause so you can think deeper on the subject and talk about it another time or you can get curious and ask them questions. [12:05] Roberta wrote her first book based on a bad manager she had. That boss did everything wrong in the books. [16:10] The goal really is to be well-respected among your team and to build strong relationships with your people. So that even if you leave an organization, your people will follow. [17:10] Roberta shares an example of what a “good relationship” looks like with a subordinate. [18:30] Don't wait to have tough conversations in person! You can do it over Zoom. [23:30] Leaders who check in, like really check in, with their team end up having to “save” fewer employees from quitting. People want to feel supported. [25:45] Roberta explains the fine art of when to stop talking. [28:45] No one knows how to manage communication, curiosity, integrity, and honesty. [31:45] Roberta works with her clients to change the perception that they aren't good leaders. Prescription is everything in leadership. [32:25] Listener challenge: Make a list of those difficult conversations that you have been avoiding. Quotable Quotes “Management is nothing more than perception.” “Very few organizations can specify the behaviors that match what they value.” Resources Mentioned Sponsored by: Darley.com Matusonconsulting.com Roberta on LinkedIn & Roberta on Twitter Grab Roberta's book here: Can We Talk?
