Podcasts about Stealth mode

Dr. Poornima Luthra is a professor at the Coopenhagen School of Business. She joins the Allyship in Action Podcast to discuss how to turn fear into fuel for positive change. We discuss what she calls "stealth mode DEI," and how to navigate these polarizing times from a global perspective. Key takeaways from our conversation: The Global Perspective on DEI: While the US experiences a significant backlash, other parts of the world, particularly Europe, are continuing and even deepening their DEI efforts. Companies are finding ways to maintain progress, even when their US counterparts are pulling back. Stealth Mode and Systemic Change: Many organizations are quietly continuing their DEI work, focusing on embedding inclusive practices into their core systems, such as hiring, promotion, and performance management. This "stealth mode" allows them to avoid public scrutiny while still making tangible progress. Addressing the Moveable Middle: The majority of people are in the "moveable middle," meaning they are persuadable and open to DEI initiatives. The challenge is to engage and educate this group, rather than focusing solely on the vocal detractors. The Role of Fear and Backlash: Fear is a driving force behind the backlash against DEI. Understanding and addressing these fears is crucial for building bridges and fostering inclusive environments. Reframing the Narrative: The way DEI is presented can significantly impact public perception. Reframing negative narratives and highlighting positive progress can help shift the conversation. Actionable Allyship Takeaway: Embrace the concept of "realistic optimism." Acknowledge the challenges while maintaining a belief in the possibility of positive change. Focus on actionable steps you and your organization can take to advance DEI, even in a challenging environment. Insightful Quotes "It's also time for us to hold the mirror up to ourselves. And to say, well, how can we do this better? Can we hold ourselves? How can we bridge the gap? Because there's such a divide right now, it almost feels like there's this valley in between. And how do we try and bridge that?" "You know, prior to January 20th, he was quite sceptical about DI efforts and what it means for someone like him. He's a white. What does it mean for me? But now seeing what has happened and unfolded in the US and how far the pendulum has swung the other way, and how extreme the reactions have been, or the actions that have been taken, he finds himself. Actually defending dei." "These are the practices that enable that to happen so you know. I had a leader yesterday who came up to me and said, you know, people in his. Are. Saying we really need to base our decisions. On merit and. And he said, how do I address this? And I said, well, why don't you just ask them, what would it take to create a system? A hiring process, for example. That is based on merit. Would that look? What would they put into? What measures would they put into place? Quite likely it's going to be the things that we just talked about. And yes, those are the practices of DI." "And a lot of it comes down to the. Human emotion of fear. Right. And you know, you think about how many people feel overwhelmed right now. Feel uncomfortable where they feel anxiety, where they're feeling worried, panicky, insecure." "But it also really got me thinking that even in a household like mine, where these are topics of conversation constantly, the kids know how I feel about. Glad he felt safe. Now to be able to see it and then engage with me on it, I do appreciate that. But there's so much social conditioning around this, right?"

In this episode, we dive into the 1980s craze for martial arts and ninjas that swept through movies, TV shows, cartoons, and toy aisles. From the rise of black-clad warriors in cult classics to the karate boom sparked by Hollywood hits, we explore how Eastern fighting styles became a Western pop culture obsession—and why America just couldn't get enough of throwing stars, headbands, and slow-motion roundhouse kicks.

Empower Clinics is a healthcare company with a growing research and clinical trials division that is currently achieving early success in the Dallas and Los Angeles markets, including already being awarded its first clinical trial from a Global Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical Company.  But Empower is just getting started according to CEO Steven McAuley, who has come out of regulator mandated stealth mode to report very promising business growth to shareholders. Specifically, while under cease trade, Empower has grown their active sites from 2 in the fall to 6 today - and Principal Investigators from 6 to 14 today.  That foundation of doctors and medical offices opens the door to potential major contract wins from pharmaceutical companies that need speed and smarts from partners like Empower to get their clinical trials completed. Empower's timing couldn't be better because Fortune Business Insights states the global Clinical Trials Market size is projected to reach USD 92.45 billion in 2030, driven by expanding pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device R&D pipelines as developed G20 nations demographics get increasingly older.  This positions Empower to play a pivotal role  in this transformative era of healthcare.  Watch this powerful interview with CEO Steven McAuley and AGORACOM Founder George Tsiolis.

In today's episode, we discuss the idea of moving from stealth mode to intimidation mode in business.

The panel discuss the importance of topics including SEO marketing and website optimization, clear targeting, the use of conversational AI and automation, and time management. Throughout the episode, David and Bianca facilitate engaging discussions with the guests, exploring their successes, challenges, and growth strategies.

If you're not generating the level of sales you're capable of in your business, the real cost of inadequate sales is a lot more than you think. And it's not just the cost of the sales you're missing out on. When you operate a business that consistently generates inadequate sales, revenue, and income, you're effectively starving your business of the oxygen it needs to survive. Inadequate sales chokes a business, stifles its growth and can threaten its survival. So today, let's take a look at some of the real costs of inadequate sales in your business. Generating significant sales in your business, or at the very least “adequate” sales is critical for many reasons. First and foremost is the financial stability necessary for survival. When you generate significant sales, it gives you the stability necessary to cover all your operational expenses, pay your vendors, pay your people, invest in growth, and make sure the business remains sustainable in the long term. Your sales growth directly impacts your overall business growth, which allows for reinvestment, product development, expansion into new markets, and hiring additional talent. It also gives you an edge that many competitors find hard to overcome. In previous podcasts, we discussed the concept of moving from Stealth Mode to Intimidation Mode, and this depends on your ability to attract, qualify and convert more clients than your competitors. Inadequate sales makes it nearly impossible to build infrastructure or even attract investors who could help you make it happen. When you're generating adequate sales and stable revenue, you can build effective processes, improve productivity, and negotiate better terms with everyone from your suppliers and vendors, to your lenders and potential partners. It contributes to a stable work environment by giving you the ability to hire, motivate and retain the right people. And whether you're a small business or even a solo entrepreneur with no desire to add a lot of people or build infrastructure, having adequate sales, along with the processes necessary to be able to generate them consistently, will ultimate determine how much your business is worth. ...because no one wants to buy a business that's unable to generate adequate sales and revenue. And most solo entrepreneurs don't really want to run that kind of business themselves. So regardless of your growth plans, adequate sales are key. With all that said, some small business owners figure that even if they're not generating adequate sales right now, it's no big deal. They'll figure it out eventually, or get around to it at some point. As a result, they can plod along for weeks, months or even years bringing in just enough revenue to make themselves either mildly comfortable or not quite uncomfortable enough to do what it takes to generate the sales they need to run a fun, exciting, sustainable business. And shouldn't that be the goal? If it's not fun, lucrative, or ideally both, then what's the point? If you just want to earn a steady paycheck, you can do that with a regular job. So if you're still with me, let's take a look at just Three of the Real costs of inadequate sales: Real cost #1. Lost revenue. This is the obvious one. If you're not generating adequate sales, then you are losing out on revenue every business day. Some people don't think of money that they didn't make as being lost. But isn't it, though? If there are sales you could have made today, but you didn't make them. Didn't you lose out on that revenue? Especially if they ended up buying it from someone else? Sure, you may sell something else tomorrow, but that doesn't make the sales you lost today any less real. Now if you think that mindset is too negative. If you believe in an abundance mindset and you feel like there's plenty of business to go around for everyone. Then we're on the same page. I totally agree.

Mikey Goldman is part of the over-prescribed generation directly impacted by the ease at which serious drugs were “handed” out to kids and teens before natural alternatives were even discussed. He grew up with a racing mind, always struggling in school to focus and sit still. Formally diagnosed with severe ADHD and math dyslexia (dyscalculia) in highschool, he was later prescribed Vyvanse in college which led to severe side effects that resulted in a snowballing of prescription drug use including daily prescriptions from his doctor of Vyvanse, Adderall, Klonopin, Ambien, and Xanax.Through a brutal withdrawal period, Mikey eventually got off all prescriptions, and sought to find a natural solution for his ADHD + racing mind. After experimenting with dozens (if not hundreds) of wellness products, experiences, and drug alternatives, Mikey was mesmerized by the benefits of Deep Touch Pressure and weighted technology, but like many people with ADHD, he found weighted blankets uncomfortable. Quiet Mind solves for those areas of discomfort with an alternative in the form of the first-ever Original Weighted Pillow, a convenient and reliable solution for people like me - and it's only the beginning. Prior to launching Quiet Mind, Mikey worked in marketing and social media in the tech industry for companies like GreenPark Sports, Insightly, and Zuora. Quiet mind is his ticket to a joy-filled and purpose-driven career to help people never feel that way.In This Conversation We Discuss: [00:00] Intro[00:59] What are Quiet Mind's products?[01:40] Where the idea of weighted pillows come from[03:26] The weighted blankets trend during the pandemic[03:53] Weighted blankets are cumbersome[04:27] Weighted pillows might be the solution[05:31] The next step after getting the idea[06:30] How Mikey performed “prototyping”[06:52] Finally telling others about the idea[07:11] Figuring the target demographic[07:26] What pushed Mikey to dive in[07:45] What's next after deciding to pursue the market[08:32] Phase 1 for Quiet Mind: Prototyping[09:06] The importance of starting with the right people[10:05] Put your own money in to condition yourself[10:47] Mikey's tiered approach to outside investors[11:45] Sponsor: Electric Eye electriceye.io/connect[12:42] Sponsor: JSON-LD For SEO jsonld.app[13:59] Sponsor: Retention.com retention.com/honest[14:51] Using an adjacent product to get feedback[17:11] Getting the word out there while still under wraps[17:58] Meeting the Gravity Blankets founder[18:34] You need to be careful if you have a novel idea[19:14] The secret to founders' peace of mind[19:56] The product, the founder, and the story[20:50] Why PR is the number one choice for Mikey[21:36] Quiet Mind's SEO strategy[21:52] The timing for SEO and PR[22:39] The biggest challenge for a new product[22:50] Educating audiences with your new product[24:35] Why should get the product to market ASAP[26:12] Lessons with overseas manufacturing during Covid[27:52] Where to find Quiet Mind productsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeConnect with Mikey linkedin.com/in/mikeygoldmanA wellness brand offering clever solutions to help people suffering from common disorders like ADHD, anxiety, stress, insomnia, and loneliness onequietmind.comFollow Quiet Mind on Instagram @quietmindSchedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectGet your free structured data audit for your store jsonld.appBook your demo today and get 20% off the annual commitment fee retention.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Key Things Discussed How OKRs can shift company cultures towards more outcomes-based approaches – especially relevant for Covid-inspired distributed workers. The difference between OKRs, KPIs, and their sometimes complementary goals. How to infuse company-wide meetings and employee evaluations with OKR-oriented measures and priorities. Deployment of CLEAR – Career Path, Learning Objectives, Expectations, Accountabilities & Rewards – in a sales context. How leaders who are vulnerable to personal challenges set a tone that trickles down and encourages OKR adoption throughout the ranks. Why creating an environment where it's safe for employees to ask questions – and fail – is a key element to successful OKR implementation. Tips and tactics for anyone getting ready to adopt an OKR approach. Show Notes [00:20] Growing up in a big, rambunctious family, Bradford realized early on that he was energized by two things: Making people happy and understanding how business works. [02:25] Bradford defines the HR function and its multi-dimensional role in showcasing and aligning departments across the enterprise. [03:30] About Bradford's take on the freight industry and Loadsmart, a provider of digital solutions to manage industry logistics. As CPO, he was part of creating a powerful, scalable, synchronous clearinghouse for automating communications and industry flow.  [07:10] What it will mean for Loadsmart to provide an AI-driven platform that coordinates and connect not only shippers, who are the primary customers, but also carriers, ports, customs, warehouses – the many dispersed elements that have never before had access to shared data. [10:00] Throughout his career and multiple engagements, Bradford has been building on OKRs that weren't much more than KPIs when he started on the journey – a journey, he says, that never ends. [12:00] Defining the core difference between an OKR and a KPI, based on the lens used and varying indicators. [15:10] Bradford highlights the transformational impacts on company-wide meetings that focus cross-functionally and creatively to expand ideation and stretch goals. [16:58] KPIs do have a place within organizations, particularly in areas where baseline goals are important for level-setting. [17:42] About linking OKRs and evaluations, for Loadsmart a quarterly process based on four check-in questions focused on exceptionality. [19:50] “Loadee” evals include results-focused OKR questions that flip the paradigm to emphasize effort and output rather than a check-the-box mentality. [23:49] About CLEAR (Career Path, Learning Objectives, Expectations, Accountabilities & Rewards), an automated progression program that offers employees flexibility from quarter to quarter in how they pursue objective goals. Bradford shares examples from sales, where he recently rolled out a highly successful program. [29:27] Accelerated by Covid, workplace culture is rebranding performance management to shift from a performative (long hours, butts in seats) mentality to an impact- and measures-based orientation.  [31:09] Ideation and expectations at the senior level in terms of how to bring OKR strategy to life, starting with the pyramid of progress:  At the individual level it's about initiatives and tasks and making progress towards long-term team objectives. Then measuring for key results. Expectations can be set top-down, but individuals are empowered bottom-up to try things, fail fast and drive initiatives autonomously. Ideation comes into play as observation and opportunity-oriented rather than imposed problem-oriented solutions as a starting point. [34:45] Testing ideation is a critical next step in successful OKR deployment: Build tools (they can be fairly basic) to create evidence-based data analytics rather than blindly pursuing initiatives based on hearsay or intuition. Test adoption and outcomes via KPIs by tracking things like revenue. [37:25] Bradford explains how he once used the creation of a cricket league for employees in India as a strategic initiative (including data metrics) to drive corporate OKRs like employee engagement and productivity. It was a fun and popular way to get there! [40:48] Why employees have to be empowered to fail in order to be successful.   [42:45] Bradford's advice for how people managers should respond when employees fail? (Which they inevitably must …)  Whether an individual or a team: Do they have clarity as to what went wrong? Be prepared to do a retrospective to uncover the reasons for derailments. OKRs can be as critical for indicating what not to do as what to do.  Meet regularly to go over OKRs and identify what's red, yellow, green – and why.  Is it psychologically safe for people to proactively raise a hand and get help? Leadership should not shy away from being vulnerable. Humility and authenticity trickle down through the ranks in liberating ways. [46:10] When it comes to OKRs, sales is a somewhat different animal. There are, however, great opportunities to partner and leverage in a marketing context. (46:52] Quick-Fire Questions: What's your dream and, if you've got a deadline, what's that? It's changeable based on his evolving family life and the new dimensions it brings. What do you appreciate most about your team? Their openness to trying new things, which is critical when rolling out unfamiliar, innovative initiatives.  What's top of mind these days? Budget planning and performance. No. 1 tip for launching new OKR initiatives?  Less is more! It's much easier to measure for quality through patient sequencing. It's all about progress. Are you developing metrics and milestones rather than “to do” lists?  When success is clearly defined and measurable, OKRs are lots of fun! Relevant Links:Follow Our Guest: Website | LinkedIn

The way you communicate with the world around you is exactly how the world is perceiving you, ultimately resulting on how you perceive yourself. The world is smaller than we think and people are more connected than ever before. It's important to remain courteous to others and communicate in a positive way.  Just like how ethics and morals don't matter in a universe of one; in a world of a billion people, communication is everything.
