“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.

  In this episode, we dive into leadership and management strategies with executive coach and advisor Roberta Madison. We cover essential topics such as managing up and building relationships, creating a framework for organizational success, and transitioning to executive roles. Roberta shares insights from her book 'Suddenly in Charge' and discusses the concept of 'magnetic leadership' along with personal growth through executive coaching. Listeners will gain valuable advice on effective leadership and practical steps for both personal and professional development.   Timestamps:  00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:36 Roberta Madison's Background and Expertise 01:14 Discussing 'Suddenly In Charge' 02:25 Understanding Managing Up 07:55 Navigating Organizational Politics 11:08 Magnetic Leadership 14:38 The Coaching Process 23:27 Conclusion and Contact Information   About Roberta Matuson: Roberta Matuson, The Talent Maximizer® and LinkedIn Top Voice in Workplace and Leadership For more than 25 years, Roberta Matuson, president of Matuson Consulting, has helped leaders in highly regarded companies, including General Motors, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, and Microsoft, and small to medium-size businesses achieve dramatic growth and market leadership through the maximization of talent.

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.    Find more about Roberta here: Website: https://matusonconsulting.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/matuson

If you're an executive or a team leader, strengthening your organization's ability to have difficult conversations is necessary and worth the discomfort. The key to successful dialogue starts and ends with changing the conversation. Recognizing that it takes two people to engage in meaningful outcomes, Can We Talk? outlines what each contributor needs to do to achieve the best possible result. Using examples from everyday work situations, this book offers guidance on how to create the right conditions for a meaningful discussion. The author identifies the seven key principles that enable both parties to gain a deeper understanding of what the other person may be thinking and will help establish their point of view more clearly: confidence, clarity, compassion, curiosity, compromise, credibility, courage.Roberta@matusonconsulting.comSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hownottothink)

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?

Nothing requires empathy more than going into a difficult conversation at work - asking for a raise, telling a coworker they are not pulling their weight, or even delivering a less-than-stellar performance evaluation to an employee.

How do you cultivate a sustainable workforce that stays on and builds the organization as they build themselves? Roberta Matuson answers this question with her latest book on talent development, which she talks about in this interview with Dr. Diane Hamilton. Known as The Talent Maximizer, Roberta is the President of Matuson Consulting, a bestselling author, and a leading authority on leadership. Listen as she shares valuable insights on employee engagement and talent development. With the right leadership style, you can be on your way to cultivating evergreen talent. Why shouldn’t we take “yes” as an answer? In the context of workplace communication and talent development, always saying “yes” can do more harm than good. Steve Herz, the President of the Montag Group, calls this an “echo chamber of yes” where otherwise valuable feedback is drowned out by the constant urge to buy into the status quo. Steve joins Dr. Diane Hamilton to talk about how he approached this question in his new book. In an engaging conversation, Steve takes a shot at the “participation trophy” culture that gets in the way of talent development and organizational growth.

What many organization leaders fail to understand is that you can’t simply transplant a competitor’s talent strategy and achieve the same results—just as you can’t take plants suited to a warm climate and expect them to thrive in chillier locales. The conditions are too different. But a company that takes the time to examine its own environment, select talent accordingly, and nurture its people will stand tall, regardless of economic conditions.  Roberta Chinsky Matuson is the CEO of Matuson Consulting, a top management-consulting firm established 20 years ago that has helped organizations of all kinds- General Motors, Microsoft, Best Buy, LinkedIn, and many others-achieve dramatic growth and market leadership through maximizing talent.

Phil’s guest on this episode of the IT Career Energizer podcast is Roberta Matuson. She has helped leaders in Fortune 500 companies, as well as small to medium-sized businesses, achieve dramatic growth and market leadership through the maximization of talent. Roberta is a leading authority on leadership and the skills and strategies required to earn employee commitment and client loyalty. She is also the author of several books including the recently released “Evergreen Talent”. In this episode, Phil and Roberta Matuson discuss the importance of building strong interpersonal and people management skills. They talk about why, instead of waiting until you have acquired every skill asked for in a job advert, you should just apply. Roberta also explains how the IT job market is changing and how job hunters can adapt and benefit from the changes. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (4.16) WORST CAREER MOMENT Losing a great job, mainly because she had failed to build a good relationship with her boss and other members of higher management. As a result, when the firm let people go, there was nobody there to advocate for her so she could keep her job. That experience taught her not to just focus on managing down. She now actively works on and cultivates her relationships with her bosses. (5.36) CAREER HIGHLIGHT Landing her first executive role and starting her consultancy firm have both been career highlights for Roberta. (7.42) TOP CAREER TIP Take courses to help you to improve your interpersonal skills and your ability to communicate with non-technical people. It is also a good idea to acquire the skillset to manage your relationship with your boss. These softer skills will help you in many different ways, during your career. (9.43) THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T There are not enough talented people out there. As a result, job applicants are in the driver´s seat. Unfortunately, some employers have still not woken up to that fact. At the same time, the recruitment process is becoming increasingly automated. It is now all about eliminating candidates from the list rather than searching out and nurturing talent. Applicants need to be aware of and adapt to the new reality. (10.50) THE REVEAL What’s the best career advice you received? – Just go for it. Don´t wait until you tick every box. If you meet about 70% of the criteria apply anyway. What’s the worst career advice you received? – Don´t worry that you are underpaid, be happy with what you get. What would you do if you started your career now? – Roberta says she would probably follow the same path. What are your current career objectives? – Roberta is focusing on working exclusively as an executive coach and a trusted advisor. What’s your number one non-technical skill? – Being able to quickly build strong relationships. Business is all about relationships. How do you keep your own career energized? – Roberta stays energized by learning new skills and constantly reinventing herself. What do you do away from technology? – Roberta likes to cook, play tennis, be outside and socialize with friends. (15.40) CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR NEW BOOK AND HOW IT CAME ABOUT? Roberta´s new book shows leaders how to seed, grow and cultivate their workforce. For the majority, hiring enough talented workers is difficult. So, they have to know how to make the most of their own talents and of the ones their employees have. The book provides employees with an insight into the way their managers' minds work. It is also an excellent resource for anyone who wants to take on a management role. (17.59) FINAL CAREER TIP If you see an opportunity, don´t be afraid, just go for it. You won´t get a second chance.   BEST MOMENTS (4.00) – Roberta - “You always have to be learning, reinventing yourself and staying current.” (4.41) – Roberta - “Learn to manage your relationship with your boss. If you don´t, when redundancies happen you will get laid-off.” (11.44) – Roberta - “If you´ve got 70% of what´s on the job posting, apply. The worst that can happen is that they say no.” (14.28) – Roberta - “Learn to quickly build strong relationships. After all, business is all about relationships.” (18.00) – Roberta - “When you see an opportunity, don´t be afraid, go for it. You won´t get a second chance.”   ABOUT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil Burgess is an independent IT consultant who has spent the last 20 years helping organizations to design, develop and implement software solutions.  Phil has always had an interest in helping others to develop and advance their careers.  And in 2017 Phil started the I.T.

At any moment, we’re either being led or leading others. When leadership is effective, it feels like those being led are acting from their own volition.

What are those personality traits that inspire others to produce amazing, consistent results?

June 15, 2017 - Talent Maximizer Roberta Matuson and Quit & Get Rich Carl Gould

Spending big money on marketing and advertising is second nature to many businesses, but all too often they treat recruitment as an afterthought. Our guest this week, Roberta Matuson, explains just how important good recruitment is to your business, and gives us some great shortcuts that you can put into action today. Roberta has a great track record in the business, having helped the likes of Microsoft, General Motors and The Boston Beer Company. She has also written two books on recruitment, one of which was listed in the Washington Post’s Top 5 business books. Read on for some of Roberta’s best advice:   **  The leader of a company is all-important to recruitment. That’s what attracts the talent. **  “Companies need to change their teams into recruiting machines” - don’t just defer to HR and wash your hands of it! **  Don’t think badly of candidates who are unemployed. If they’re good enough, they’re good enough. **  Linkedin is a great way of screening candidates - you can quickly check the credentials of people via your own extended networks. **  Once you start the process of recruitment it’s vitally important you commit the time to see it through. Follow up those CVs and book in those interviews, otherwise the best candidates will be tied up elsewhere. **  Always be in recruiting mode - a good waiter or bar person could be excellent for your company, so don’t be afraid to offer people opportunities when you stumble across them. **  Don’t underestimate mature workers - you don’t always need to chase potential. **  Recruiting is not just about finding new people - it’s about retention.
