Too many contractors think they have a strategy when all they really have is a to-do list. In this episode of Building Profit, Steve explains the critical difference between strategy and planning—and why getting it wrong can keep your business stuck, or worse, lead it straight to failure. Steve walks through the real framework behind strategic clarity, including how to define your biggest constraint, how to align your financial goals with real-world actions, and why buzzwords like “mission” and “SWOT” won't cut it. You'll also hear how he uses the scientific method to help construction companies actually execute strategy—and see results. If your team's chasing random initiatives without solving what's really holding you back, this episode is your roadmap to doing it right. Disclaimer: The views expressed here are those of the individual Coltivar Group, LLC (“Coltivar”) personnel quoted and are not the views of Coltivar or its affiliates.

Depuis son lancement en décembre 2022, le satellite Swot — pour Surface Water and Ocean Topography — n'en finit plus d'étonner les scientifiques. Fruit d'une collaboration entre la NASA et le CNES, ce bijou technologique franco-américain scrute les eaux de notre planète avec une précision inégalée. Océans, lacs, rivières : Swot cartographie tout, et surtout, autrement.Ce qui fait sa force, c'est sa capacité à mesurer les hauteurs d'eau sur une bande de 120 kilomètres de large — 60 kilomètres de chaque côté de son orbite — là où les anciens satellites altimétriques, comme TOPEX/Poseidon lancé en 1992, ne captaient qu'un seul point à la verticale. Résultat : une vision beaucoup plus fine de la dynamique océanique. Et cela change tout. Car non, l'océan n'est pas une surface plane. Il est constellé de creux et de bosses, de quelques dizaines de centimètres, révélateurs de courants, d'échanges de chaleur, et de captation du CO₂. Jusque-là, les scientifiques ne pouvaient observer que les mouvements à grande échelle, d'environ 200 kilomètres. Swot, lui, détecte des tourbillons de seulement quelques kilomètres : la fameuse submésoéchelle. Et c'est précieux. Non seulement pour comprendre le climat, mais aussi pour la biodiversité. « Ce sont justement dans ces petites structures que l'activité biologique est la plus intense », explique Yannice Faugère, ingénieur au CNES. Swot permet ainsi de mieux cibler les missions en mer et de croiser ses données avec d'autres satellites, notamment ceux qui analysent la couleur de l'eau.Autre prouesse : la bathymétrie, ou la cartographie des fonds marins. Swot détecte les infimes déformations de surface provoquées par des montagnes sous-marines. Grâce à cette capacité, il a déjà révélé de nouveaux reliefs au large du Pérou. Une équipe américaine estime même que le nombre de monts sous-marins pourrait passer de 44 000 à 100 000, rien qu'avec les données de Swot. Et ce n'est qu'un début. Swot améliore déjà les modèles océaniques de 15 à 20 %. À l'horizon 2035, l'ESA prévoit de lancer deux satellites de même type pour le programme Copernicus. Objectif : anticiper l'état des océans comme on prévoit aujourd'hui la météo.Enfin, les applications concrètes ne manquent pas. La start-up française Amphitrite, par exemple, développe des outils pour guider les cargos vers des courants favorables, avec à la clé jusqu'à 10 % de carburant en moins. Mieux comprendre l'océan, c'est mieux protéger notre planète. Et Swot s'impose déjà comme un allié indispensable. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

What are the odds that two clutches go out within 24 hours of each other? Can't be high, but we had it happen. Does that mean I should take a trip to Vegas and start placing bets? Our experience with two different shops was night and day. One of them had our truck in and out quickly, the other one was ridiculous. Check out the episode to hear all the fun details.  What to Expect in Episode 179 In this episode I am going to cover 3 things I think every business owner, whether you are an owner operator or you manage a fleet, should do on a regular basis. They are: Look for new revenue sources Review all your expenses to trim the fat Conduct a SWOT Analysis The first two are pretty self explanatory and we don't take up too much time covering them. I am sure there are several people out there who haven't heard about a SWOT Analysis or know much about them so that is where we spend the majority of our time. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Doing a SWOT Analysis and then using the information you learn from it is a great way to make a big impact on your business.  Craig and I walk through a very simple SWOT Analysis from the perspective of an Owner Operator and use some examples to help show how they are used. They truly are a great tool and I hope you take the info we share and use it to conduct one on your business. Not in business for yourself yet? No worries, it is also a great tool to use to help you decide if there is an opportunity for you to go into business and help you be better prepared when you make the leap. A good SWOT Analysis is a critical element of any business plan.

Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. If you want to learn how my company helps nonprofits create a fundraising plan, this link will explain: https://www.gofurthertogether.ca/discoverycall How to create a GREAT fundraising strategy for your small nonprofit Every thriving nonprofit starts with a plan, not a guess. In this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, we break down how a thoughtful, strategic fundraising plan can set your organization up for sustainable growth, smarter decisions, and way less chaos. You'll get a practical overview of what goes into a successful plan, how to make it work for your team (no matter the size), and why it's the single best tool to help you stop reacting and start leading. This episode is hosted by Maria Rio, a seasoned fundraising expert with over a decade of experience helping nonprofits grow their impact through clear strategy and effective implementation. Creating a fundraising plan for your nonprofit: 5 key takeaways A great plan is more than a calendar of events. A strong fundraising plan isn't a to-do list; it's your mission's compass. It links your big goals to everyday actions and keeps everyone pointed in the same direction. Start with what you know. Use your current data (donor history, revenue sources, and engagement patterns) as a foundation. You can't look ahead if you don't know where you're starting from. Short-term wins + long-term vision = sustainability. A good plan should help you meet today's goals and build the systems you need for future growth. Your plan helps you say no. When everything feels urgent, it's easy to chase shiny objects. But a plan gives you permission to decline distractions and stay focused on what really matters. Real growth comes from realistic goals. Forget plucked-from-thin-air numbers. Use benchmarks and historical trends to set fundraising targets you can actually achieve, and build momentum from there. 

PRODUZA® Aceleradora Neurológica de Pessoas, Negócios e Mercados

O episódio virtual do Produzacast, mergulha nos bastidores do projeto de rebranding da marca de açaí OKÁH. Eles discutem que a OKÁH, fundada em 2016 e focada exclusivamente na fabricação desde 2023, tem uma missão de gerar riqueza e impacto social positivo, com uma clara visão de expansão nacional e internacional, especialmente com o projeto "Okáh nos 4 cantos do Mundo" em 2025. A PRODUZA foi escolhida para desenvolver um reposicionamento estratégico e uma identidade visual multiplataformas porque foi identificada uma clara desconexão entre as identidades visuais da marca no Brasil e na Europa. Enquanto a marca brasileira usava um fundo oval roxo e fonte arredondada para gerar alegria e conexão, a embalagem europeia era mais informativa, focada em saúde, mas sem o fundo oval e com uma combinação de cores menos harmoniosa com as demais esferas da Okáh no Brasil. "Dá para explorar muito mais e dar potencial de sofisticação, impacto social neste novo momento de visão global da OKÁH".Para resolver esse desafio, a PRODUZA aplica neurociência aplicada para ir fundo na "Análise da percepção, personalidade e gatilhos" que a marca precisa ativar no cérebro do consumidor, sabendo que as decisões de compra são primariamente emocionais. Sua metodologia envolve Pesquisa, Planejamento, Criação e Divulgação, incluindo ferramentas como Benchmarking, SWOT e o desenvolvimento de Branding + Mapa Emocional do Consumidor.O objetivo é criar uma identidade forte e coesa que equilibre a acessibilidade existente da marca com o posicionamento premium exigido pela expansão global. O novo design envolverá o lettering (desenho exclusivo das letras), símbolo, paleta de cores unificada e estratégica, tipografia e embalagens, utilizando estímulos sensoriais e gatilhos mentais, como o storytelling sobre a origem Amazônica e o propósito "Sabor Autêntico, Impacto Consciente". Esse projeto destaca como a PRODUZA usa a ciência para elevar marcas com visão global, reforçando que "Mudar é Difícil, Não Mudar é Fatal" e que seu trabalho é baseado em Estratégia, Autoridade, Qualidade e Experiência humanizada.

Chuyện “chốt deal” không bắt đầu ở bàn đàm phán.Tui tin ai kinh doanh cũng 1-2 lần gặp trường hợp này: Bạn đi cà phê với bạn thân, chợt 2 đứa phát hiện một "cơ hội ngon lành" tiềm năng sắp tới. Một deal kinh doanh rất sáng, lương duyên tốt, ý tưởng hay. Đối tác sẽ là anh em thân thiết – hiểu ý, cùng chí hướng, cùng máu lửa như nhau.Ngồi xuống cái bàn đàm phán đầu tiên, mọi thứ đều ổn.Tới buổi thứ hai, bắt đầu có vài chuyện chưa rõ.Buổi thứ ba, tự nhiên... lấn cấn.Tui không biết gọi cái cảm giác đó là gì, chỉ biết rằng nó không ổn. Và đúng y định luật Murphy– cái gì có thể sai, nó sẽ sai. Deal đó tan. Mối quan hệ cũng mất. Mà quan trọng hơn: bài học thì… nhớ đời.Sau nhiều pha như vậy, tui ngộ ra một chuyện:Chuyện “chốt deal” không bắt đầu ở bàn đàm phán - mà bắt đầu ở việc soi rõ chính mình. Đúng là vậy đó!!Soi để biết: - Biết mình đang có gì: Nguồn lực, nhân lực, dòng tiền, uy tín, khả năng vận hành.- Biết mình cần gì ở deal này: Lợi nhuận, tầm ảnh hưởng, bài học… hay chỉ là cảm xúc hào hứng nhất thời?- Biết mình có chịu nổi không nếu mọi thứ đổ bể: Cả về vật chất lẫn tinh thần.- Và nhất là, biết rõ người trước mặt là bạn kinh doanh hay chỉ là bạn đi nhậu?Có nhiều công cụ để làm chuyện đó như SWOT, Business Model Canvas, Bảng dự báo tài chính,… miễn là mình chuẩn bị đủ kỹ: về con số, về tâm thế, và nhất là – về sự trung thực với chính mình từ đó mới đến chuyện bàn là mình có đi với nhau được hay không. Nhiều khi suy nghĩ, tính toán xong thấy mình lệch vai quá, “giẫm chân” nhau quá thì thôi. Nhiều khi một lựa chọn đúng – đôi khi không phải là bước tiếp. Mà là biết dừng lại cho kịp.Podcast kỳ này không nói chuyện “kỹ thuật đàm phán” mà là một buổi mổ xẻ mindset trước khi bạn đặt bút ký bất kỳ hợp đồng nào.Nếu bạn đang chuẩn bị khởi nghiệp, sắp bắt tay một ai đó, hay đứng trước một cơ hội tưởng như “ngon ăn”… thì xin mời bạn nghe và chia sẻ quan điểm cùng Tùng BT nhé!

SWOT ***Free SWOT and STCC tools available for download here: https://adept-experimenter-3588.kit.com/0cd1576fe5 Teaser:We are half-way through May and hopefully you have begun thinking about next year. A couple weeks ago I took several district leadership teams through a simple process to facilitate conversations around next year. We did two activities – the SWOT analysis and the Stop-Start-Continue-Consider process. These are meant to be high level starters for discussion of priorities. I think the two activities work well together as the SWOT identifies the what and the SSCC focuses on the how. In today's show, I'll walk you through the process we went through and I'll try to be explicit enough that you'll be able to facilitate the activity with your team if you so desire. This also might be a show you want to pause or save for a time when you can think and write, but of course that is up to you and your individual context. Sponsor Spot 1:Before we get to the meat of the show, I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

This episode dives deep into the SWIFT analysis framework that's revolutionizing how personal trainers build sustainable, six-figure businesses without burnout.Unlike the traditional SWOT analysis, SWIFT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Improvements, Fears, Trajectory) provides actionable principles that translate directly to professional growth. The framework emphasizes building on strengths rather than dwelling on weaknesses, with practical strategies for implementing multiple revenue streams using the 60-30-10 rule: 60% from your primary service, 30% from a secondary service like nutrition coaching, and 10% from supplementary offerings.We share the exciting evolution of Show Up Fitness, from our partnerships with premium brands like Lifetime and Equinox to our new Atlanta internship launching June 9th. These collaborations aren't just name-dropping – they create concrete pathways for our certified trainers to secure positions commanding $150-300 per session, making six-figure incomes achievable in the first year. That's a stark contrast to the $40-50K typically earned with traditional certifications at entry-level positions.What sets our approach apart? We've completely reimagined the certification process with hands-on learning and practical assessments. Rather than relying on textbook knowledge and multiple-choice tests, our candidates demonstrate their abilities by training actual paying clients, designing programs on the fly, and showing deep anatomical understanding. The result? Trainers who deliver exceptional value and command premium rates because they produce premium results.The sobering reality is tWant to ask us a question?

606. Joe O'Mahoney, Helping Boutique Consulting Firms Scale Up

Unleashed - How to Thrive as an Independent Professional

Show Notes: Joe O'Mahoney is a part-time professor of consulting at Cardiff University and  a leading authority on the growth and sale of boutiques and small consultancies. He has spent 20 years researching consultancies and interviewing hundreds of owners and senior leaders. He has developed a growth drivers model, which includes factors like leadership quality, client relationships, and market positioning. He conducts benchmark surveys and interviews with leadership teams and clients. Joe then conducts a SWOT analysis, and estimates the valuation of the firm. He helps the owner satisfy their equity goals, and pull the levers. Joe typically focuses on two to three priorities each year to drive up the firm's growth. He shares three key factors in leadership and team management that are crucial to a successful scale up. Building a Sales Team for a Boutique Consultancy Joe explains that, in the long term, building a competent sales team is crucial for a firm's valuation. This involves promoting, training, mentoring, rewarding, and recruiting sales capabilities. A culture that puts sales first should be complemented by a competent system that listens to sales calls and introduces new hires. This will help build a pipeline of capable sales people in the future. In the short term, implementing these strategies can improve marketing efforts. It is important to consider how your value proposition is translated into marketing themes and content, as well as the frequency and visibility of these posts. It is crucial to ensure that marketing efforts are effective and aligned with the company's goals.  Challenges of Scaling a Business Joe discusses the challenges of scaling a business, particularly for those with a two to 3 million revenue mark. He suggests that firms need to focus on their signature service, which is high value, high growth, and can cross-sell. Marketing algorithms reward clarity in these areas, leading to better value propositions, marketing, and themes. This clarity allows firms to build intellectual property (IP) and increase margins. Once sales, project margin, or EBITDA are reached, firms can decide on additional products to sell alongside their existing offerings, such as parallel products, cross-selling services, or follow-on services. By building a logical sequence of events, firms can achieve high-quality revenue. The Importance of IP in Scaling Consulting Firms Joe shares an example of a firm that focused on a manual approach to cloud consultancy. However, when breaking down their service lines by revenue, the company realized that they should change their focus. In terms of branding and content, Joe explains that buyers are interested in the past growth, future growth, and margin of the firm, but they also want a marketing machine that generates clients, and an architecture of sales that generates high-quality leads.  Joe explains that IP is a top priority for buyers, including the quality of the leadership team. This includes delivery IP, marketing IP, thought leadership, website design, and content. LinkedIn is an interesting example, as due diligence is starting to reveal its influence on a firm's success. Valuation and Growth Trajectory Valuation is a crucial factor for buyers and private equity, as they are interested in the future value of the firm. A healthy growth trajectory is essential, and a machine that can push up the multiple is preferred. Joe explains that it is often better to focus on building the architecture that will allow you to improve your multiple, rather than focusing on increasing your profit margin. This can be achieved by implementing a PSA system, CRM system, training people, and building out IP. However, it is difficult to drive up the multiple quickly, as everyone is talking about margin all the time. It is important for buyers to consider the firm's potential for growth and profitability before making a decision. Joe talks about the EBITDA and how it should be approached. The conversation turns to the treatment of owners' compensation and how it is recalculated during the sale process. He explains that if a board member is preparing a company for sale, Joe's  fee is taken out, and if a founder is paying themselves in dividends to improve profits, the EBITDA is adjusted accordingly.  Employees and Recruiting Talent for Boutique Consulting Firms Joe discusses the importance of recruiting and training employees to provide better value to clients and charge more. He suggests that consultancies operate in two markets: the market for clients and the market for employees. Boutique consultancies often struggle to recruit decent consultants due to the lack of brand recognition and value proposition. To attract the right people, consultancies need to have a clear value proposition for both clients and employees. This includes a clear cultural side of the company, clear values, and clear due diligence rules. The architecture behind this includes competencies, promotions, training, and mentoring. Buyers of Consulting Firms The typical buyers of consulting firms are typically strategic and industry buyers, who have a gap in their offerings. Private equity has become more involved in the market, accounting for 55% of purchases of consulting firms, including private equity-backed strategic buyers. This shift has led to a growing number of non-consultancies seeking to develop consultancy arms, accounting for about 15% of purchases. The Boutique Leaders Club for Consultants Joe shares information about  IP aspects he provides to his clients. He runs the Boutique Leaders club, a group of about 40 owners of consultancies above the 5 million revenue mark. Joe gives them access to 250 bits of IP. This includes competency frameworks, succession plans, and training on business development. The group can also conduct benchmarking surveys twice a year, tracking progress and creating plans for the future. The Boutique Leaders club also offers training materials, both online and face-to-face, to help firms prepare for the selling process, such as finding the best corporate advisor, selecting the right lawyers, and preparing for the selling process. Joe's Engagement Model with Consulting Firms Joe also shares his engagement model with consulting firms, which includes three ways: Board Advisory, as part of his leaders club, and one-off projects. He typically works with clients on a monthly basis, with a focus on value proposition, business development, and marketing. His clients are mostly UK-based, with three US clients and some in Western Europe. He left corporate consulting due to his dislike of managing people, and he is currently the bottleneck to his own firm. He has worked with some good ex-CEOs but struggles with quality of revenues. Bachman asks O'Mahoney to share his website and LinkedIn profile, and he appreciates the opportunity to discuss his experiences and insights on the industry.

[04:50] What does Sarah enjoy doing outside of consultancy?: Sarah has a keen interest in history, having studied it at school, she like to travel to various locations of historical interest. She also spends a lot of time researching her own family tree, learning as much as she can about the far reaching members of the past. Sarah also likes to go jogging outside, as the gym environment didn't inspire much enjoyment, she instead prefers to be in nature while exercising. She has also participated in long distance running for charity, completing the 10k Race for Life. She's taking on the more daunting muddy 5K version this year, which includes a number of obstacles, so we're wishing her luck! One of the new hobbies she's like to take up this year include mountain climbing, with Mount Snowdon on her to-do list. [06:35] What was Sarah's path towards becoming an ISO Consultant?: Sarah initially started in Customer Services, working as a customer service advisor in a company and then got promoted to manager of a team. At that point, her role became more about understanding why they were getting certain complaints and what could be done to prevent them happening rather than just resolving them. She ended up spending more time with suppliers and other departments to help prevent some of the recurring issues, and along the line it lead onto being asked to implement an ISO 9001 Quality Management System. Which was a tall request considering the fact that at the time, Sarah knew nothing about ISO 9001 outside of it's designation and area of focus. As a result, she spent a lot of time researching it, and had the help of an external consultant to Implement the Management System. This was necessary, as knowing how to apply it to a business was something that she needed support with. 2 years later, the company asked Sarah to implement an ISO 45001 Health & Safety management system and an ISO 14001 environmental management system. These two she implemented herself after getting a feel for it during the initial quality management system implementation. For the next 10 years, Sarah worked in other companies, assisting with their integrated management systems. Along the way, she also picked up on ISO 27001 Information Security, before landing in Blackmores in 2020. [09:10] A path people fall onto – Most people don't actively plan to get into ISO consultancy, it's usually a result of being tasked with managing or implementing a management system while working in another role.  [10:10] What is Sarah's favourite aspect of being a Consultant? – Sarah enjoys the variety, not just in the work and tasks but in the companies and industries that she gets to work with. Each have their own way of working, unique approaches and knowledge nuggets in the form of ways of working that can be cherry picked and applied elsewhere. She also likes to see how a management system develops and evolves overtime and how it can become part of a company's success, driving continual improvement. Sarah enjoys working with people that can see the real benefits of ISO management systems, rather than just focusing on the certificate on the wall. [13:40] Making a Management System your own – Sarah is a big proponent of making a Management system your own, giving it an identity so that it can be fully integrated into the way a business works. Businesses do it all the time, usually by naming large projects that everyone can reference by a common shorthand. A Management System can work in the same way, making it a part of the day-to-day running of the business. She's also a fan of not worrying about the terminology in Standards. Many of the terms used are meant to be general, this was due to the way international audiences referred to certain aspects of management, it wouldn't always translate correctly. So many Standards have some admittedly awkward terminology that can be applied to any business, and you by no means have to use their wording, as long as you can explain what relates to what in an audit then you're free to name things as appropriate to you.   [16:55] What Standards does Sarah specilaise in and why? Starting with: ·      ISO 9001 Quality: This is the main standard that Sarah starting working with, and is one that touches on a lot of areas within other Standards. It's a great base to build off of, and is the starting point for many venturing into the world of ISO. ·      ISO 14001 Environmental: Sarah got experience with this Standard at her first company, it's also commonly implemented alongside ISO 9001.   ·      ISO 45001 Health & Safety: Another one of the first Standards Sarah implemented, it's also a common one to see in integrated management systems.   ·      ISO 27001 Information Security: Sarah got to grips with this Standard through years of working with other companies. Sarah's favourite Standard is ISO 9001, not only because it was her first experience with implementing ISO Standards, but because it create a blueprint for success. ISO Standards are setting the minimum requirement, not the maximum, they are designed get you started so you can make continual improvements. It also acts as a foundation to build onto, you can pick aspects of other Standards to integrate into your existing system. You don't necessarily have to certify to those additional Standards, but nothing is stopping you from strengthening your Management System with the best bits from other ISO's. [21:00] Sarah's favourite clause in ISO 9001: Sarah personally favors Clause 10 – non-conformity and corrective action. The reason behind that choice is due to that clauses' importance in driving continual improvement. It's about taking something negative being turned into a positive, which is what Quality Management is at it's core. [22:05] What is the biggest challenge Sarah had faced during a project and how did he overcome it?: Molding the Standard to the business. As a consultant, the biggest challenge is understanding how to make the requirements of a Standard fit the business, and not the other way round. It's all about trying to align the ISO Standard requirements to their values and mission, and then getting people on board with understanding the true benefits of management system implementation. At Blackmores, we ensure that each management system is unique to each business. We don't operate with a copy paste model. This is another reason why Sarah encourages naming your management system, by branding it you encourage engagement. Sarah highlights the fact that we run a lot of workshops in the initial part of a project, conducting a Gap Analysis, SWOT and PESTLE ect, this helps our consultants to really get a feel for how a business ticks. From that, we can help steer the delivery of the Management System to the wider business, by building it into their existing tools, such as an intranet. [25:45] Leading by example: We revamped our own ISO 9001 Management System a few years ago, with both Rachel Churchman and Sarah Ball leading the refresh. We gave it a name, H20 (How 2 Operate) and integrated it with our Microsoft Teams channels as we'd all swapped to mostly remote work following the COVID pandemic in 2020. As Sarah points out, there are many different ways to display and deliver your management system, including: ·      Microsoft Teams ·      Intranet ·      Google / Google Drive ·      SharePoint ·      CRM's such as Monday.com The key is building it into the day-to-day tools everyone uses. Make the Management System part of your processes, so adhering and maintaining it becomes part of everyone's way of working. [28:55] What is Sarah's proudest achievement? Obtaining her degree through the Open University while still working full time. It took Sarah 8 years of hard work to obtain her honours degree in History, which was one not required by her work or career development. It was simply something she wanted to do to prove to herself that she could achieve it. Many other members of Blackmores can attest to Sarah's level of determination, and organisation, as she shares many tips and techniques learned from her years of study and work. This includes: The Productivity Ninja – Learned from Graham Allcott's book, which seeks to help reduce procrastination, and tackle tasks with efficiency. The Second Brain – A tool to help keep track of ideas / tasks that aren't an immediate priority. These tools are now used by a number of the team, and we have no doubt Sarah will be schooling us on more techniques in future.

Nikola Lazarov is the co-founder and CEO of Eilla AI, a tool that provides AI workers for private market intelligence. Nikola is an AI engineer who started his career at a London-based hedge fund, Marble Bar Asset Management, where he worked as a quant. He realized the value of AI in structuring unstructured data for private companies and decided to start a company almost three years ago. What Eilla AI Does While Nikola mentions that their target clients are investors and investment bankers, Eilla AI's tool does various tasks, such as finding competitors, analyzing their USP, target market, and financials. It also offers a solution for finding comparable transactions and conducting valuation reports. By searching for similar companies, it can determine their multiples, revenues, and valuations. The tool collects data from various data providers, including CrunchBase Zero and PitchBook, and scrapes it on its own. One of the most exciting solutions offered by Eilla AI is finding comparable transactions and doing valuation reports. This involves finding similar companies, analyzing their financials, average multiples, and what is driving these valuations. The tool automatically gathers and compares the data, providing valuable insights for startups, investors, and investment bankers. How Eilla AI Works The conversation turns to how it works. Nikola talks through using the software and explains the visuals on the screen, which includes tabs such as company, profile, competitor, research, buyer, selection, investment highlights, key questions, risks and mitigates, and a one-pager. The company profile page provides a consolidated set of information about the company, including its headquarters location, number of employees, founding status, total raised, and last transaction. The company description, industry, problem solved, key team members, funding, product, clients, business model, digital intelligence, and news are all included. The platform is similar to CrunchBase and other data aggregators, but it aggregates data from various sources, such as LinkedIn, their website, CrunchBase, and Capita. The platform also offers footnotes for each piece of data, allowing users to hover over it to see the source of the information. The platform also provides information on the website traffic, such as the source and the number of followers. Aggregating Data from Various Sources Nikola explains how the tool works using competitor research as the example to find the closest competitors to Pay Hawk. He explains that this process saves time and helps save time by aggregating data.  However, what differentiates Eilla AI is what happens on top of this aggregated data. It uses a proprietary database of in-depth product information to gather information from over 7 million companies, ranking them based on funding, cat count, and other factors. AI is used to determine the number of competitors and similar companies.  A Vertical View of Information Users can select a few companies to dive deeper into, and a vertical view allows for a comparison table. The table includes company name type, description, product description, headquarters location, team, year of founding, last round of funding, status, ownership status, detailed offering, unique selling proposition, and target market. The information is organized in a way that would take weeks to pull together. Users can use the vertical view to see the companies side by side. The platform also includes green dots on product descriptions to indicate high similarity and source information. This tool is unique in that it not only provides data but also replicates the workflow of competitor research. It offers insights such as a SWOT analysis on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of Pay Hawk versus its competitors. Product and Services The platform also includes a Products and Services tab with bullet points around PayHawk versus its competitors. Each product has a footnote where users can click to see the sources and scroll down to understand the differences between the two companies. Nikola also mentions the upcoming release of Cap IQ Financial, which includes important information like revenue, beta, valuation, and financials. The buyer selection tab is particularly interesting, as it shows all similar companies to Payco, including acquisitions and mergers. These companies are split into potential strategic buyers, competitors, and financial buyers. The tool also highlights the similarities between Pay Hawk and other companies, such as Visma and Instant, a platform that automates control for secure payments and trustworthy suppliers. The platform also assesses the financial capabilities of the company to buy companies like Pay Hawk. Eilla AI Features Eilla AI  Nikola explains that the platform aims to replicate the workflow of investors and investment bankers by breaking down complex workflows into simpler steps. This is done by breaking down data from various sources, such as data providers, CRMs, emails, and nodes. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the company's funding, team, head count, product, services, USP, and detailed offering. The platform also offers a one-pager, which can be easily downloaded and viewed as a PDF. This information provides a detailed overview of the company's funding, team, head count, product, and services, as well as its unique selling points. The platform also provides a free seven-day trial for potential customers, such as corporate executives or business consultants looking for acquisitions. Eilla AI Pricing Schedule The pricing schedule is based on the number of requests per user and the amount of time spent on due diligence. For larger companies, the standard price is $98 per month per seat, while for smaller companies, it is $300 per month per user. The platform also offers a free seven-day trial for those interested in trying out the product without the need for sales meetings.

Dr. Marie Helene Peltier is a leadership psychologist, and author of “The Resilience Plan: A Strategic Approach to Optimizing Your Work Performance and Mental Health.” In this episode, she unpacks the science and practical strategies behind resilience, offering insights into how mental health and leadership are deeply interconnected. From creating personalized resilience plans to building resilient teams, the conversation explores how leaders can thrive under stress and navigate challenges effectively. Dr. Peltier emphasizes actionable steps like tailoring stress management techniques to individual needs, integrating resilience into team discussions, and using strategic tools to balance professional demands with personal priorities. She also covers the importance of values-driven planning, the role of proactive resilience, and how leaders can “bounce forward” through adversity.      Key Takeaways [02:48] Dr. Peltier begins by discussing the deep connection between mental health and leadership. She explains that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence how we lead, make decisions, and interact with teams. Resilience is critical for leaders to navigate demands effectively and sustain peak performance. [05:08] When addressing behavioral changes, Dr. Peltier advises distinguishing between coaching and psychological support. Coaches should focus on actionable strategies while referring clients to specialists when deeper mental health issues arise. [08:35] She highlights the benefits of regular physical activity (cardio, strength training, meditative practices), nutrition, and time in nature. These actions create a strong foundation for resilience, but leaders often overlook them due to their demanding schedules. [12:51] Dr. Peltier advocates starting with values to prioritize actions and using tools like a SWOT analysis to identify gaps in resilience resources. She encourages leaders to create realistic, context-specific plans that align with their unique challenges and demands. [19:23] Resilience isn't just individual—it's systemic. Leaders should bring resilience into team discussions, proactively preparing for high-demand periods and creating strategies to handle stress collectively. [27:45] Dr. Peltier reframes resilience as both a decision and a plan. While the willingness to be resilient is essential, strategic preparation ensures that leaders have the tools to act when challenges arise. [34:23] Dr. Peltier advises leaders to prepare for increasing demands, including technological changes like AI integration, by strengthening their personal and team resilience. [35:47] And remember, Resilience isn't a single skill. It's a variety of skills and coping mechanisms to bounce back from bumps in the road as well as failures. You should focus on emphasizing the positive. Jean Chatzky   Quotable Quotes "Resilience is our ability to go through that adversity here, which could be acute or chronic, and come out even stronger." "A lot of the time, the ways in which we behave today don't emerge randomly out of nowhere." "If resilience was a mathematical equation, these variables would account for most of the variance." "Sometimes we can just learn a new way, experiment with it, it works, and that in itself will actually shift whatever was there internally." "Whatever works for you, assuming it's healthy, do this. Let's just start there." "Resilience isn't just about individuals; there are actions we want to take as leaders, but we also want to focus on the team and organization." "We tend to just receive the demands here and then turn towards our team and do the work. That moment of saying, wait a second, let me ask my leader for help, is often missed." "Keep looking for what that resource could be for you. Don't just say, well, I don't have the finances, so not doing anything." "Resilience is a decision, but it's also a plan. And just a decision to be resilient isn't sufficient—it's a great start, but insufficient." "Leaders must identify their values, look at demands and resources, and prioritize what actions will help them thrive." "As these things come up, we will need to face these demands and embrace them with even more resilience." "Resilience is our ability to grow through adversity and bring our best decisions and best thinking to the table."   This is the book mentioned in this episode   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen. With an episode titled "Will Over Skill: Building High-Performance Teams Through Purpose-Driven Leadership." In this episode, recorded via Zoom on November 13, 2024, we are joined by Pete Sciabarra, an executive coach, Vistage Chair, and former Vistage corporate executive. Pete brings a unique blend of military, corporate, and coaching experience to the conversation. As a former U.S. Navy captain and helicopter pilot, he transitioned into executive leadership, ultimately holding senior roles at Vistage, where he oversaw a $25 million segment of the business that achieved the company's number one ranking. Pete Sciabarra's journey is marked by dedication to service and leadership excellence. From his early days at the Naval Academy to his role as a helicopter pilot during Desert Storm, Pete's military career shaped his leadership philosophy. His path took an unexpected turn when his son was diagnosed with autism, leading him to pursue a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from the University of San Diego, focusing his research on adults with autism. This personal challenge transformed his understanding of human potential and care. As a Vistage Chair in San Diego, Pete facilitates executive peer groups that help CEOs and business owners break through barriers, fostering collaboration and personal accountability. His expertise in crisis leadership proved invaluable during emergency relief efforts for businesses affected by major hurricanes. Beyond his professional life, Pete's commitment to service extends to coaching high school varsity inline hockey, bringing the same focus on teamwork and resilience from the boardroom to the rink. Pete's experience with Vistage demonstrates the transformative power of peer advisory groups. He emphasizes that successful peer groups aren't just about business advice—they're about creating a safe space where leaders can share challenges they might not discuss elsewhere. The key to successful peer groups lies in selecting members who are lifelong learners and who understand they don't have all the answers, creating an environment where vulnerability and growth can flourish. The Evolution of Leadership in the AI Era as artificial intelligence reshapes business landscapes, We explore frameworks and AI like Wiki, SWOT, Porters Five Forces, and Blue Ocean Strategy. Pete highlights that while AI tools can enhance decision-making and analysis, they won't replace the need for authentic leadership and human connection. He emphasizes that successful leaders must adapt to new technologies while maintaining focus on people-centric leadership, caring deeply about their team members' needs and development. The Importance of Continuous Learning and Adaptation Throughout the episode, Pete's journey from military service to executive coaching underscores the importance of continuous learning and adaptation. His experience shows that effective leaders must remain curious, humble, and open to new perspectives. Whether it's embracing new technologies like AI or understanding different leadership challenges, success comes from maintaining a learning mindset and being willing to question established assumptions while staying true to core values of integrity and service.
