Podcasts about strategic partners

In our next episode of the Ashurst Perkins Coie Women in Tech podcast, host Denae Erasmus is joined by Luisa de Gouveia, Head of Legal Operations at Sky, to explore the evolving impact of AI in legal operations. Luisa begins by sharing the story of her career journey — from technology and media transactions authority to her current role leading Legal Operations at Sky. Central to that journey is Luisa's experience of living and working with a chronic repetitive strain injury. Luisa speaks openly about the realities of navigating a demanding legal career with a chronic condition and how it has fundamentally changed the way she works. In this episode we focus on key questions shaping the future of legal operations — legal design, systems thinking and how the rise of AI is forcing legal teams to rethink not just what they do, but how and why they do it. What happens when lawyers stop doing the work and start designing how it gets done? And what does it really take to redesign the way a legal team works? Luisa also shares her advice for legal operations leaders who want to position themselves as true strategic partners. From building credibility to managing expectations, she offers her perspective on what it takes to deliver lasting change — and how small, honest wins can build something lasting. The information provided is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all developments in the law and practice, or to cover all aspects of those referred to.

Immigration is always a hot -and often emotional - topic, yet few people truly understand the impact immigration policies have on their daily lives, finances, and freedoms. Immigration touches every segment of society and impacts every community. Every town is a border town when immigration policies allow for open borders, financial fraud, rampant crime, and cultural upheaval. How do we continue our promise of freedom to immigrants while protecting the rights of our American citizens?  As policy details are swallowed in news cycles and impacts are often ignored until irreversible, Todd Bensman, Linda's guest in this episode, brings clarity and truth to the conversation, all based on his years as a journalist, policy analyst, and counterterrorism expert. Todd served as Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies and as Senior Adviser to the US Department of Homeland Security and the National Counterterrorism Center. He now serves as a Senior Research Fellow for The Heritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center. Todd has testified before Congress and written extensively to alert American citizens regarding the negative national security implications of open-border policies and to provide insight on providing safeguards for citizens and legal immigrants. This is an important episode you will not want to miss.

This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage and pay, anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Nelly Salinas, a global HR operations leader and Director of Global HR Operations at Accertify Inc. Nelly's path into HR started nowhere near HR. She began her career in industrial engineering and IT project management before discovering that projects rarely fail because of technology, they fail because people were never aligned in the first place. That engineering lens is exactly what she brings to global HR operations today.Nick and Nelly explore why the future of HR will not belong to the most human leader alone, but to the hybrid leader who can connect people, process, systems, data, and strategy in one conversation. They unpack where AI is genuinely creating value in HR right now versus where organizations are mistaking experimentation for transformation, why AI can make recruiters lazy if it replaces human connection instead of freeing up time for it, and how homogenized AI written CVs are making it harder than ever to spot real talent. They also dig into the near impossible balancing act of standardizing HR processes across global regions without losing local nuance, why data literacy and change management are becoming non-negotiable skills, the ongoing debate over whether payroll should sit inside HR or finance, and what a realistic first step into agentic AI actually looks like for HR leaders who have not started yet.In a world where HR is being asked to improve employee experience, scale global operations, adopt AI responsibly, and still deliver measurable outcomes, this episode makes the case that technology and humanity were never competing priorities. The job has always been to bring both together.A must-listen for HR leaders, global operations professionals, and anyone trying to figure out what skills will actually matter in the next phase of HR.Enjoyed this?

As we celebrate two hundred and fifty years of freedom in America, it is good to pause and reflect on the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Every July 4th is filled with parades, picnics, and people enjoying freedoms we often take for granted. Fireworks may light evening skies, but do we truly understand the fragility of freedom or our role in preserving it? Dr. James (Jim) Garlow, Linda's guest in this episode, discusses historical truths from our nation's founders and how their ideologies and ideas influence our lives today. He also offers an exciting opportunity to learn about our history and governmental system – especially as seen through a Biblical lens – through a program called More Than Fireworks. Designed for individual or group participation, the More Than Fireworks series can be used in families or businesses to bring awareness and understanding regarding the incredible blessings and enormous responsibilities we have as American citizens. The series starts July 4, so be sure to listen to this episode and share with friends.

This episode offers a deep dive into how MSPs can navigate the dynamic landscape of AI to enhance their service offerings and foster substantial client relationships. Brian leverages his wealth of experience to outline strategic approaches to integrating AI into business conversations, underscoring the shift from traditional IT services to a more holistic AI-driven advisory role.

Key Takeaways: AI Opportunities for MSPs: AI projects offer considerable financial opportunities, with projects averaging between $3,000 and $15,000 and up to $30,000 in recurring revenue through governance services. Importance of Readiness Assessments: Conducting comprehensive readiness assessments involving data, infrastructure, security, and cultural dynamics is critical for successful AI integration. Need for Strategic AI Governance: Long-term AI success is tied to robust governance frameworks due to continual model evolution and security risks. Cultural and Executive Buy-In: Establishing executive and cultural buy-in within client organizations is essential for AI adoption and maximizing its potential. Avoiding Scope Creep and Complexity: MSPs must maintain a clear strategy, limit options for clients, and focus on clear business outcomes to avoid project complexity and provide tangible client value.

What is the Electoral College and how does it preserve states' rights and protect the votes of American citizens? Some media pundits and activists are calling for "national popular vote" reforms. What would those changes mean to our country and to freedoms we cherish? Harry Roth, Director of Outreach at Save Our States, joined Linda to discuss this important topic. Harry shared historically grounded and constitutionally sound insights into how the Electoral College protects minority rights, prevents regional domination, and ensures that small and large states have a voice in presidential elections. The Electoral College provides a stabilizing force to ensure states' rights and citizen voices are protected. A clear understanding of the importance of this process is essential for every American who cares about the impact of their vote on the future of our country. Don't get swayed by headlines or emotional pleas. Learn the facts and protect your freedom.  ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

The business is your customer. The learner is your consumer. If you've been thinking about it the other way round, this episode will make you think a little differently.Tracie Cantu, Senior Learning Leader and author of Running L&D Like a Business, opens with the idea that when L&D designs for the wrong “customer,” teams end up busy, but not necessarily effective. The result is often more content with outcomes that don't match.Think learning needs to be formal? Think again. A post-it note on a monitor can be learning if it helps someone do their job, because in some cases, the best L&D output is a job aid, not a course.Governance comes up as well, which Tracie describes it as bowling alley bumper guards.

This week, I'm joined by Jermaine Jones, visionary founder of Jones Global Group and a recognized leader in enterprise risk and strategic talent selection. Jermaine shares his insights on common pitfalls sales professionals encounter during account transitions, and gives actionable strategies for aligning account plans with customer objectives. We also discuss his favorite tools and methodologies for key account managers and why he believes that stakeholder mapping is a crucially important part of the process.    Outline of This Episode   [00:00] Key Account vs. Regular Account [01:26] Common mistakes organizations make in defining key accounts [02:45] Importance of diagnosis before prescription in consultative selling [03:31] Use of a closed loop system and Ansoff Matrix  [04:39] How to tailor communication for different decision-makers [06:16] 4D task prioritization tool [12:04] Finding a Zone of Possible Agreement (ZOPA) to protect margins and reduce risk   Moving Beyond Revenue Organizations often misclassify accounts by prioritizing revenue rather than focusing on profit or the return on time invested. Jermaine references the Pareto Principle, the well-known 80/20 rule, and explains that "80% of your profitable sales come from 20% of your customers". A key account isn't simply about large volume; it's an account where your domain expertise fundamentally shifts the client's profitability. To identify strategic partners, sales leaders have to calculate return on time invested and examine how their influence impacts the client's bottom line. Without this, accounts remain routine and are a missed opportunity for strategic growth.   Rethinking Relationship Management Transitioning from a transactional sales approach to effective key account management is fraught with pitfalls. The most common mistake is staying stuck in a perpetual "hunter" mindset. Salespeople fail because they skip the prescription before the diagnosis." The sales process is a little like medicine, where selling becomes 'malpractice' if you pitch solutions before properly understanding the client's needs via thorough discovery. The path to success lies in shifting focus. Account managers should embrace a consultative approach, building trust and acting as advisors rather than mere vendors.   Aligning with Client Objectives Jermaine recommends using closed-loop goal execution and the Ansoff Matrix to identify opportunities for market penetration and product development. He emphasizes aligning one's talent and resource supply chain to support the client's expansion and adapt quickly as objectives evolve. Critical to this approach is ensuring plans are dynamic—active tools shaped by real-time feedback and shifting environments rather than static documents filed away and forgotten. Effective plans rely on the 70/20/10 development model, so you're continuously adapting based on 70% real-world experience and market feedback.    The Power of Stakeholder Mapping Stakeholder mapping prevents communication style bias, for instance, pitching with enthusiasm to a data-driven CFO is a sure way to lose trust if the presentation lacks concrete analysis. To gain access to senior decision makers, authority and social proof are key: bringing rigorous, certified data positions the seller as an invaluable source of insight rather than a time-waster.   Essential Tools and Methodologies for Key Account Managers According to Jermaine, what sets top account managers apart is mastery of three things. First, understanding and employing the five pillars of sales success, with particular emphasis on self-awareness and domain expertise. Technology and AI are no substitute for deep industry knowledge. Second, the 4D task tool prioritization (Do it, Delegate, Date, Delete) ensures efficiency does not replace effectiveness—the real goal is to do the right things, not just do things right. Third, value-based motivation statements open every executive interaction with a clear, credible promise, establishing technical trust and ensuring every conversation is purposeful.   Resources & People Mentioned The Pareto Principle Ansoff Matrix    Connect with Jermaine Jones Jermaine Jones on LinkedIn  Connect With Paul Watts    LinkedIn Twitter    Subscribe to SALES REINVENTED Audio Production and Show Notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com  

Welcome back to The Collision Vision, driven by Autobody News. I'm your host, Cole Strandberg. Today's episode is about something every operator wants but very few truly achieve — building a business that lasts, not just for a few years but across generations.   I'm joined by Mike Schoonover of Schoonover Bodyworks, a third-generation business that's been serving its community for over 85 years. What's remarkable isn't just the longevity. It's how the business has continued to evolve. From integrating collision, mechanical, and glass into a true one-stop model, to staying on the leading edge of training and technology, to building deep, strategic partnerships that actually move the business forward.   And that's really where we're going to spend time today: partnerships. Not just vendors, not just suppliers, but true partners like AkzoNobel who contribute to training, process improvement, and growth.   What should you expect from your partners? And just as importantly, are you actually leveraging them the way top operators do? This is a conversation about legacy, evolution, and the idea that great businesses aren't built alone. Let's dive in.   Connect with Mike: https://schoonoverbodyworks.com/ https://www.facebook.com/schoonoverbodyworks

Turn your executive assistant into a true strategic partner- not just task support. In this video, I break down the 4-step framework I've used to move an executive assistant from reactive task taker to proactive strategic partner. I share the mistakes I made early on as a CEO, how that limited both me and my EA, and what changed once I started giving real ownership over inbox, calendar, and priorities. I also walk through the exact tools and rhythms that helped me get back 20–40 hours a week, protect my energy, and create more leverage inside the business. If you're a CEO who feels like you're still the bottleneck, this will show you how to build an EA relationship that gives you real freedom instead of just more delegation.

A seasoned founder with a six-figure exit already under his belt, Malik is now tackling one of the hardest problems in fintech: why infrastructure remains sub-optimized despite the rise of "Unicorns."

Politicians plan for the next election. Statesmen plan for the next generation. Strategic short-term thinking may help win elections, but long-term thinking is needed to preserve culture and protect our God-given rights as outlined in the Constitution. Our education system has often failed to teach basic skills and critical thinking needed for successful employment, leadership, and responsible citizenship. Preparing young people to lead our nation wisely cannot be left to government.  Many parents realize this and choose to educate children at home. With Linda to discuss this growing trend (and how it affects the workplace) is Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, an organization serving homeschool families worldwide. They discuss the decline of public education, the rise of home schooling, the demand for home educated students in the workplace, and the need for employers to promote quality educational opportunities for all employees and their families.    ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Want to know the difference between leaving your consulting or coaching success up to chance or creating with strategic intention? Today on the Consulting Matters podcast, we're getting into the differences between getting clients and building a business and standout brand with my guest and client, Leslie Faircloth. For a lot of us, we get into consulting or coaching after leaving our jobs because we have a generous network who as soon as they hear of our availability, they are introducing us to people who could use our expertise (or maybe hire us themselves) And then at some point we realize, while this is great for now, we know that this isn't enough to create the sustainable success we need to go all in our consulting or coaching business. That's exactly what happened with my client Leslie, who instantly after leaving her job as a director of small business programs with the navy was getting people wanting to work with her. She got professional photos taken, and put up a website. It seems like it should be enough, right? For her, it wasn't. What was missing? The strategic intention and brand foundation underneath her expertise. If you're an aspiring, new or even seasoned consultant or coach looking for the strategic path, a thriving business, clients and impact, this is the episode for you. In this episode, you'll hear: Why “people already want to work with me” isn't enough to build a sustainable business What happens after the initial wave of referrals and interest starts to level off The shift from being in demand… to building a business that consistently creates it As you listen, notice the shift Leslie made in how she thinks, speaks, and shows up. Then go take a look at her website: https://lesliefairclothconsulting.com/ It's a clear example of what happens when your brand and positioning finally match the level of work you're here to do.

We live in a digital world. Cultural influences impact children, families, and communities and our digital age spreads information instantly across the globe. In addition, ai – while helpful in many ways – can be deceptive, compounding problems. Little care is given to ensure age-appropriate content and young people (and many adults) are swept into cultural trends harmful to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The need for tools that promote discernment and wisdom is clear, but how do we protect while allowing for growth and educational opportunities? As parents, educators, or business leaders, we have a responsibility to  create digital environments that promote healthy growth mindsets and maturity. In this episode, Linda interviews Claton Butcher, founder of Cross Current Digital and creator of WatchSafe.app, all designed to provide resources to enhance educational growth, safety, and discernment. This episode is relevant to parents, business leaders, and anyone who cares deeply about the well-being of the next generation.  ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

For decades, climate alarmists have used fear to convince and coerce people into submission regarding business operations and lifestyle choices. Years ago, we were bombarded with messages on global freezing and fear propaganda filled the media – until data showed otherwise. Then messaging switched to proclaim the threat of global warming. Repeated threats of worldwide deaths convinced the public to abide by choice-limiting regulations that altered lifestyles until once again - data showed otherwise. Now it is all just referred to as "climate change" – which somehow gives excuse to limit freedom, geoengineer weather, and regulate every aspect of life under global control. In this episode, Linda interviews Marc Morano, veteran journalist from ClimateDepot.com. They discuss climate treaties, energy production, presidential executive orders, and logical outcomes of various climate related policies. Marc also provided an update on the recent World Economic Forum meeting and the change in narrative by global leaders regarding climate. Listen today to learn how you can protect the climate – and your freedom. ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Many businesses hire agencies to execute tasks: build a campaign, design an ad, launch a website. But the strongest agency relationships go beyond simple execution. A truly strategic agency sees itself as a partner in growth, focused on outcomes like revenue, customer acquisition, and brand positioning rather than just delivering assets.For Littlefield Agency, that partnership means asking “why” before saying “yes.” By understanding the real business objective, we can recommend the right solution and push back when we don't feel like something will move the needle. Strategic partners also think beyond individual campaigns, looking at the customer journey, competitive landscape, and the metrics that actually drive business growth. For us, these are also the best, most collaborative and rewarding relationships we have.So give this week's episode a listen and ask yourself, "does my agency act like an order taker or strategic partner?" If your answer is the latter, you got yourself a good one!See you next week for more Little Talks.— Sam, Roop, Claudia, and ChelseaTell us what you think!

Every school district communicates with the families of current students — but what about everyone else? Retirees, young professionals, and longtime residents all have a stake in local education, even if they don't have kids in your buildings. In this episode, Craig Williams, founder of IASA Corporate Partner Journey 12, joins superintendents Dr. Jennifer Garrison of Vandalia CUSD #203 and Sherri Smith of Forrestville Valley CUSD #221 to discuss how a strategic storytelling partner can help districts reach their whole community — through print, video, podcasts, and more. If you've ever wondered how to build trust beyond your existing parent base, this episode is for you.

A very serious threat to freedom is rising in our nation. Many people have not heard of, nor do they understand how adherents to Sharia Law want to change our culture, legal system, and ultimately our entire system of government. They have openly admitted such desires and are working diligently throughout the country to accomplish their goals. In this episode, Linda interviews policy expert, Frank Gaffney, to discuss the need for all citizens to be aware and informed on this matter. Frank also provides time-sensitive information for people in Texas who have an opportunity to express opposition to Sharia Law and show support for our Constitution through voting in a special election on March 3, 2026. (Early voting has already started.) Proposition 10 is a simple ballot proposal stating opposition to Sharia Law, and if passed it will send a message to Texas and the nation that we want our Constitution to remain the law of the land. This issue affects every community and every citizen, not just those in Texas. If you care about freedom, you do not want to miss this episode.  ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC For more information on Sharia Law and the Texas ballot proposal, please visit www.BanSharia.com. __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Outside the box. Maverick. Independent thinker. These terms are often over-used in our society, so much so that they almost become generic. However, every entrepreneur understands the very personal application and meaning of each word. To forge new paths, we must embody those definitions without fear. This episode, in which Linda interviews author, financial policy expert, and successful entrepreneur, Ziad K. Abdelnour, is a broad look at what it takes to achieve success – financially and personally – and how business leaders can positively impact our culture to foster human flourishing and freedom. Don't miss thought provoking comments about political changes in New York City, shifts in culture over past decades, and the perspective of it all through his immigrant eyes and experiences.  ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Recorded live at the NTL Summit in Miami, this episode features Darren Findling, managing partner of a Detroit-based law firm, who shares how AI is reshaping every layer of legal practice—from leadership and operations to litigation prep and client experience. Darren explains how his firm uses AI as an active participant in leadership meetings, mock hearings, deposition preparation, and data analysis, treating it as a collaborative partner rather than just a tool. He also discusses why firms that resist AI adoption risk falling behind, and how thoughtful implementation can drive smarter decisions, stronger advocacy, and scalable growth moving forward.

Rising tides lift all boats, and effective leadership raises standards of excellence in every sphere of influence. Are you a mission-minded leader? What is your mission?  For many leaders, their mission is to gain more money, power, or fame. While that may indicate success in the eyes of others, it can also lead to emptiness, division, and despair.  Money cannot buy true purpose, unity, or freedom. However, there is a rising tide of business leaders choosing to focus on mission over money, service over selfishness, and purpose over pride. They are growing in roles as servant leaders – the most effective kind. In this first episode of 2026, Linda interviews Krystal Parker, Founder and President of the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce, to discuss the rising tide of business leaders who view their role in the marketplace as a calling and mission. They are crossing cultural divides and bringing unity to diverse cross-sections of business and culture. They are redefining purpose and transforming lives.  Our nation needs mission-minded leaders now more than ever. Join us.
