OPENING KEYNOTE: Scripting Your Future Through the Language of Influence Everyone has a message. It might be a simple message for the moment, or a message that endures and influences for a lifetime. In fact, according to the Harvard Business Review, "The number one criteria for advancement and promotion of professionals is an ability to communicate effectively." Your road to professional growth and success begins with the stones of effective communication. You may need to communicate the vision for your company. Or lead a difficult conversation. Or present your perspective to a potential client. Or develop a new relationship with a peer. Or maybe your aspiration is as simple as sharing a heartfelt story with a close-knit group. In any case, your success is based on your ability to master the art of communication. But let's flip the script! It's not about more chatter, it's about influencing change, and stirring the pot of progress. Communicating well is not just about sending a message. It's about maximizing the influence and impact of your narrative. It's about understanding that there are always multiple perspectives in any situation. Key Takeaways: Understand the 5 keys to connecting through communication Master your approach to effective crucial conversations Speaker: Steve Lowisz Founder & CEO Qualigence International Visit http://www.econclub.org/meeting/2023-young-leader-conference/ to learn more! #decylc

@SLowisz -- LINKEDIN -- SteveLowisz.com - Lowisz is pronounced Lowis.  "Talent acquisition experts are realizing that resumes don't help us select the right candidates".  "Education provides 1% predictive ability for job performance!".  "To understand how a candidate will behave in a role, mesh with a team, and align with a manger, we go by our gut and then we wonder why new hires don't work out". "There are benefits that can only be fulfilled from actually meeting with your candidate".  "The best predictor of job success is a combination of structured interviews, behavioral assessments and cognitive assessments".  "I am amazed at how often I speak with recruiters who have no idea what the candidate's motivators are". "Many recruiters ask for favors in their very first message to a candidate. The candidate doesn't owe the recruiter anything". "Listing required qualifications in an intro message infers that a candidate will care about the recruiter's need".  "Recruiters often sell what they have, not what the candidate needs".  "It's become amazingly easy to hide behind a computer screen instead of trying to engage in meaningful conversation. The phone allows for a personal and emotional connection which are critical to creating high satisfaction and engagement rates.

If there is a common pain point for agency owners today -- it’s recruiting and retaining talent. It’s a conversation I am having every day and it’s more difficult than it’s been in quite a while. Unfortunately, I don’t see that trend reversing any time soon. Which means we’d all better improve our ability to keep the good ones that we either have or can attract. It’s starts with hiring the right person for the right reasons. What are the most effective questions to ask during the interview process? What do you need to know about the candidate? What do they need to know about you, your agency and the culture there? For my podcast guest Steve Lowisz, it all comes down to purpose. Are you clear on the purpose of the position your hiring for? Are deliverables clearly spelled out in the job description you are posting? It’s critical to discover if the candidate’s purpose actually aligns with your agency’s purpose, and if they do – you’d better have a plan for nurturing that shared passion.

On today’s episode of Just the Tips Dean and I welcome, entrepreneur, speaker and “people person” Steve Lowisz, to talk about one of the biggest roadblocks for entrepreneurs out there: HR and recruiting. Steve is one of the great, leading-edge thinkers when it comes to hiring and managing people, and the insights he gives here are so critical to a growing business’s success. Steve has the methodologies down, and cuts through all the cloudy thinking around hiring to give you precise tips on how to improve your HR function. As he says, “I’ll know it when I see it,” doesn’t cut it, and if you want to improve your hiring, you’ll have to listen to this episode. When you need to hire a hiring firm Dean and I were surprised to learn that Steve actually started out as an architect. But when he began looking around for more, he joined the sales team of an office supply company where he lives in Michigan and was put in charge of hiring some new employees. Without knowing what to do, he hired a firm to make the hires, and as he says, his boss told him “great job,” and then sold the business. So Steve took a job with the firm he actually hired, and from there has loved what he does. If you think hiring and HR is a nightmare or something you’re hesitant to tackle, then listen to this episode of Just the Tips to pick up advice from a guy who eats, sleeps and breathes this stuff. The three keys to successful hiring I asked Steve whether he mostly focuses on recruiting, retention or managing and developing, and I was surprised by his answer. Steve told us that ultimately all three of those aspects are just one thing you have to get right. So if you define your needs in a candidate, you use those same aspects to help develop them, and then you retain them until they’ve developed so far that you have to let them go. As Steve says, “We get it wrong, because we separate them too much.” But as Steve tells us, it’s often defining that need where entrepreneurs go astray. The baker’s dozen of questions you need to ask Steve has what he calls the “baker’s dozen of questions” to get at the heart of what an entrepreneur needs in a new hire. A lot of the questions are fairly direct and simple, he says. Questions like: “What’s working for you right now? Where do you want to go? What are your obstacles?” He says the process is a combination of art and science. The science is running through the questions, but the art is in teasing out what’s behind the answers. He also has some fascinating insights about assessments, and tools for assessments, that I think buck the common wisdom. You’ll want to hear what he says about the “thumbs up/thumbs down” approach to assessing performance. The “core four” in the science of hiring When Steve says he has hiring down to a science, he has it down to a science. He told us about his sets of “core four” principles. One set revolves around production, can the person do what you need them to do. Another set revolves around purpose: Is the candidate aligned with what you’re trying to do, and with your culture. These are often very squishy terms for entrepreneurs, but Steve has such a clear-eyed view of what they actually mean that you’ll be surprised by how you can put them into practice. If you’re even thinking about making a hire in the near future, you can’t miss this episode of Just the Tips.
