For this episode of Small Business Small Talk, we had the chance to sit down with a good friend of ours, Cara Silletto from Magnet Culture. We enjoyed getting to hear about her background where she grew up as a theater kid, then moved on to being an Event Planner for a state association which then planted the seed for her to eventually become a speaker trainer. Her main focus at her business, Magnet Culture, is all about employee retention and culture. If this is something your own business is struggling with, this episode is one you'll definitely want to check out! BIO: Workforce thought leader and keynote speaker Cara Silletto, MBA, CSP, works with organizations to reduce unnecessary employee turnover by bridging generational gaps and making managers more effective in their roles. Workforce Magazine in Chicago named Cara a “Game Changer” and Recruiter.com listed her in their “Top 10 Company Culture Experts to Watch.” She is the author of the book, "Staying Power: Why Your Employees Leave & How to Keep Them Longer," and Louisville Business First named her one of their 2018 Forty Under 40.

Workforce thought leader Cara Silletto, MBA, CSP, works with organizations of all sizes to reduce unnecessary employee turnover by bridging generational gaps and making managers more effective in their roles. As a Millennial herself, she knows first-hand what it is like to have a heightened sense of entitlement, very little employee loyalty and dependency upon her smartphone. However, unlike many Millennials, Cara has figured out exactly how these attributes were cultivated during her formative years, and she now shares that story with leaders across the country, including teams at Toyota, UPS, Cintas, and Humana. Cara learned early in her career, from her Baby Boomer and GenX mentors, what “professionalism” meant to them, and absorbed critical information about management expectations during her first decade in the business world. She then went on to earn her Master's in Business Administration (MBA) from the top-ranked University of Louisville Entrepreneurship program, lived overseas teaching German executives about business practices in the U.S., and then started her consulting firm Magnet Culture, a Crescendo Strategies company, in 2012. Today, at age 39, she's a highly-sought-after national speaker conducting 50 to 100 engagements annually and she has already earned her Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, which less than 10% of speakers achieve. Louisville Business First named her one of their 2018 Forty Under 40 young professionals. Workforce Magazine in Chicago named Cara a “Game Changer” for her innovative approach to solving generational issues in the workplace and Recruiter.com listed her in their “Top 10 Company Culture Experts to Watch,” list. She is also the author of the book, Staying Power: Why Your Employees Leave & How to Keep Them Longer.

Join Pastor Travis Hall and guest Karan Rhodes as they talk about the many banes of being a leader. For Karan, the reasons why most leaders fear failure lies on issues with self-validity and the sense of belongingness. Ever since ancient times, the concept of success is brought by survival and being adept at the many things that compose daily life. Not delivering in any of these is seen as a failure –a concept that most leaders need to settle with. To beat this limiting belief, leaders must learn how to present themselves with disclaimers and be OK with the fact that they are bound to fail, have a mistake, and require their people's help. Tune in as they put the spot on the Transformational Truth #24 - Fear Has a Way of Making Average Look Attractive with Karan Rhodes. Ready your notes, as there will be a ton to take away from this episode. In this episode you will learn: · On leaders wrestling with the fear of failure. · How people normally cope in unhealthy ways. · The importance of being vulnerable and open to those you lead. · It's OK that you're not always perfect and OK. · What do leaders need to let go of? · …and so much more! About Karan Rhodes: Karan founded Shockingly Different Leadership in 2013.

I've got a list of my 10 to 12 strategies for boosting resilience and they're very practical and actionable. Then I have like a reading list in there. So my favorite books on those topics as well and how to like be more resilient. That's a place where you can immediately get a freebie after listening to this. Rachel's Advice I would say if I were to leave you with one thing to walk away from this with, it would be to have a bit more grace and compassion for yourself. Then to have the courage to get curious about the things that you're doing well, and the things you could be doing better or differently. So that you can grow and to be committed to that journey. Not just at work, but also your other relationships, as well. Because there's going to be crossover and there's going to be spillover benefit. So be willing to be curious, be courageous enough to be curious. Then, based on the feedback that you get, I would say be willing to take action. Be willing to take those courageous action steps because confidence is the byproduct of action. So stop thinking about whatever you are thinking about and take action and go do something about it.

Happy Tuesday! Bernadette gets deep today. Please, rethink dove hunting. The doves live behind Bernadette's house and she loves seeing them every morning! Please, rethink your hobby. If you kill for sport, please rethink your actions. As far as actions, our two guests are always in action! Jerry Yudelson and Lauren Herring will be joining One Life Radio today! So exciting! Jerry Yudelson Yudelson is a social activist, environmentalist, engineer and spiritual seeker. He’s chronicled his extensive 50-year career and spiritual journey in his book, “The Godfather of Green: An Eco-Spiritual Memoir.” Jerry’s environmental activism began with the inaugural Earth Day Celebration in 1970, when Jerry was a campus organizer at Caltech. He was a key player in California’s solar energy movement during the 70s and 80s, appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to run the state’s solar development program. Jerry has authored 12 books on green building, sustainable development, water conservation, green homes, building performance and green marketing. Fires, Floods, Coronavirus & Climate Change – The Real Challenges We Face in the Coming Decade. Jerry is here to tell us a little bit more about climate change. Currently, there are so many wildfires in California right now due to lightning! The influx of storms is directly due to climate change. Right now, we have more carbon dioxide in the universe than we have in 3 million years. We are heading into doubling and tripling the temperature rise than ever before. Let's look at hurricane Laura. Laura went from a category 1 to a category 4 in 24 hours. The increased heat in the Gulf of Mexico allowed for hurricane Laura to gain strength. We have changed a lot in the last 50 years since the first earth day in 1970. The United States need to be a good example for other countries around the world. We are taking advantage of our earth and planet. We must respect the planet we were given. There is no planet B! Lauren Herring Lauren Herring is CEO of IMPACT Group, the largest woman- owned career coaching company supporting over 200 Fortune 500 companies worldwide. Over the past 30 years, IMPACT Group has successfully helped hundreds of thousands of people find jobs. Additionally, Lauren has donated IMPACT Group’ s services to thousands of individuals in underserved communities, helping them to find jobs, dignity and economic independence. She has received the "Game Changer Award" by Workforce Magazine and has been published or quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Fast Company. Lauren’s passion for making a positive impact led her to write "Take Control of Your Job Search!" as well as  "This Side Up!" Lauren can also be found running the streets of St. Louis while training for a triathlon or spending time with her husband, Ted, and two young children. 10 Emotions To Master During Your Job Search So many people are out of work right now, so Lauren's book is a great read, and so timely! Networking is the #1 driver of jobs right now, especially now, more than ever. The saying "it's not about what you know, it's who you know" is a saying for a reason! Career IQ and EQ are important, but EQ can often be forgotten. Your emotional expertise matters too! Sometimes, not having a job is not the worst thing ever. Take time to get your game plan together. Take time to strengthen your skills. If you do not have connections, that's okay! Bernadette says that she respects people who want to work hard, more than those who just "sit" or know someone. You must master both the positive and negative emotions alike! Having a team of support behind you is critical during a job search. Think of it as a personal advisory board. Lauren says to the people that are desperate to find a job during COVID, do not be discouraged. Get out there and try! Focus on your personal branding and make your intentions clear. Show your value and what you can bring to the table! Have faith in yourself. Thank You!

Unleashing and giving yourself permission to be your truest and most authentic self is one of the most vulnerable and rewarding things you can do, according to today’s guest Rachel Druckenmiller, CEO, and founder of Unmuted. Rachel, daughter of two teachers turned entrepreneurs, always knew that owning a business was in her future, but she had to learn to stop silencing herself and step in to her own to do it. In 2019 she left her role as a corporate wellness coordinator and founded Unmuted.  Through her business, Rachel is on a mission to bring out the best in people and organizations so they can lead more effectively, connect more deeply, and thrive relationally, emotionally and physically - increasing performance, strengthening trust, boosting creativity flow, and allowing people to be more fulfilled at work and at home. She was named one of the 40 under 40 game changers by Workforce Magazine, and one of 7 wellness leaders making an impact by Employ Humanity. In today’s episode, Rachel talks about leaving her corporate job and the vulnerable process of unmuting the shy and reserved young girl she was into the vibrant, engaging business owner she is today. She shares a few tips and lessons that other wellness professionals can learn from her story, as well as where she sees herself contributing to wellness conversations in the future.  Rachel discusses her future Redesigning Wellness Academy session and her thoughts on the importance of social connectedness to holistic wellbeing. Finally, she shares what she’s most excited about for 2020, and leaves us with a poignant quote and last piece of advice. This episode is sponsored by KyndHub.

Today we’re asking an important question that every industry is going to have to ask sooner or later: What does future-focused leadership look like? Our guest, Rachel Druckenmiller, is on a mission to humanize the workplace by igniting intentional leadership. She has made a name for herself nationally in the fields of workplace wellness and culture. In 2019, she was recognized as a 40 Under 40 Game Changer by Workforce Magazine, and in 2018, Employ Humanity named her one of “7 Wellness Leaders Making a Positive Impact.” But all of this — wellbeing, wellness, culture — it all ties directly to leadership.

The best advice from Dr. Kevin Gazzara, Dhariana Lozano, Roy Sutton and Deepak Shukla can help your business succeed more quickly and substantially. Entrepreneurship starts in different ways. However, there is something special about those who saw an opportunity and decided to focus on a new direction. Their journey to success is different from the journeys of those to whom entrepreneurship simply ‘happened’ and totally different from startups that raised money to develop an entrepreneurial enterprise from an idea. In  today’s episode, I share with you the best advice from these entrepreneurs. I believe that no matter how you became an entrepreneur, the perspectives of Dr. Kevin Gazzara, Dhariana Lozano, Roy Sutton and Deepak Shukla can provide a new perspective on taking your business to higher levels.   Before he left his 18-year career at Intel, Dr. Kevin Gazzara’s research discovered 5 things any entrepreneur needs to become successful. Dr. Kevin Gazzara Dr. Kevin Gazzara has spent the last 30+ years in program management, leadership, organizational development, courseware development, executive coaching, and teaching in both public and private sectors, spanning from heavy equipment to high tech. He is a currently a senior partner at Magna Leadership Solutions LLC, based in Phoenix, Arizona, which provides business workshops, facilitation, assessments, and executive coaching services worldwide. Kevin worked for Intel Corporation for 18 years, holding management positions for: Management and Leadership development, Intel University for the US, the Graduate Rotation Program, Mentoring programs for Intel’s worldwide Human Resources Organization, and more. Dr. Gazzara is also a faculty at Grand Canyon University, University of Phoenix, Drexel University, and Ohalo College. In 2007, he received the Future HR Leader award from Human Capital magazine for the Task Quotienttm (TQ) assessment. Workforce Magazine has recognized him for his international leadership development programs. Dr. Gazzara’s best advice about customer focus, marketing and sales There are 5 things that have consistently come up among the successful entrepreneurs I’ve talked with. They said you really need 5 things to be successful: You need a shtick or something unique that you offer that nobody else does. You need a network. You also need to be able to tap into your network in order to get work, get your name out there, and build and grow your business. You need a social presence. You need to be out there interacting and maintaining that presence. You need to write a book—specifically, a hardcover book. You need to have enough money saved that you can spend 18-24 months making no money doing consulting.   Dhariana Lozano realized that small businesses and entrepreneurs can really benefit from social media. Therefore, she left the corporate world and started to help businesses directly. Dhariana Lozano Dhariana Lozano has been in the social media and digital marketing world for over 7 years. She is the co-founder of Supremacy Marketing, a boutique social media marketing firm based in New York City who manages the social media presence of clients like Chef Jordan Andino, Flip Sigi and more. Her experience ranges in creating social media strategies and consulting for both B2C and B2B brands to help them stand out and break through digital walls for ongoing success. She blogs at  (http://dharilo.com/)  where she provides social media tips, resources and courses. You can see her work published in Social Media Week, Social Media Today, and the AgoraPulse blog.   How Dhariana’ entrepreneurial journey started I’ve been in social media marketing for about 8 years now. I started off in the corporate world and I went to agencies and I felt that social media was a bit of an afterthought; people would bring me in last minute into meetings. They...

You may not be talking about politics at your speaking engagements, but you may be discussing issues that are controversial or where people have a distinct point of view. Or, you may get a question from an audience member that throws you off. How can you handle hard conversations, whether it’s at events, panels, media interviews, or even with your family and friends? Joining me in this episode are Sarah Stewart (from the left) and Beth Silvers (from the right) of the Pantsuit Politics podcast. Along with their strategies for handling hard conversations, we get into why companies don’t seem to value training on these “soft skills” as much as they should, why they tend to bucket it as a “women’s issue”, and how we can position these topics differently. About My Guests: On the Pantsuit Politics podcast, two friends on opposite sides of the aisle have real conversations about politics and policy. Sarah Stewart Holland (from the left) has always loved politics, although her political opinions have changed drastically over the years. As the creator and cohost of Pantsuit Politics, she has turned that passion into a career. When she's not opining about policy or the latest political firestorm from behind the mic, Sarah is raising her three young song with her husband in her hometown of Paducah, KY, where she served on the Paducah City Commission. Before turning to the mic, Sarah wrote about parenting and politics on her blog bluegrass redhead. Her writing has also been published on the Atlantic, Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, and BlogHer. Beth Silvers (from the right) owns and operates Checking In with Beth Silvers, a life and business coaching practice. Drawing on her eleven years of experience with a large midwestern law firm as an attorney and human resources executive, Beth helps individuals clarify and realize their goals. She has been recognized as one of Ohio’s Most Powerful and Influential Women by the Ohio Diversity Council, a Human Resources GameChanger by Workforce Magazine, and one of Cincinnati’s Forty Under 40 business leaders. A graduate of Leadership Northern Kentucky, Beth lives in Union with her husband, two daughters, and miniature schnauzer. She loves people, politics, poetry, and watermelon.

He is a currently a senior partner at Magna Leadership Solutions LLC, based in Phoenix, Arizona, which provides business workshops, facilitation, assessments, and executive coaching services worldwide. Kevin worked for Intel Corporation for 18 years, holding management positions for: Management and Leadership development, Intel University for the US, the Graduate Rotation Program, Mentoring programs for Intel’s worldwide Human Resources Organization, and more. Dr. Gazzara is also a faculty at Grand Canyon University, University of Phoenix, Drexel University, and Ohalo College. In 2007, he received the Future HR Leader award from Human Capital magazine for the Task Quotienttm (TQ) assessment. Workforce Magazine has recognized him for his international leadership development programs.   Download My Powerful Cheat Sheets to adopt today A Daily Routine of Successful Entrepreneurs (http://www.reachormiss.com/5-actionable-tips/) Most passionate about I found my passion in management and leadership development and I was fortunate enough to be able to spend my last ten years managing Intel’s university and then managing Intel’s management and leadership development for the last six of those ten years. We used to do about 2500 – 3000 managers a year in 10 different countries. Dr. Gazzara’s best advice about customer focus, marketing, and sales There are 5 things that came up as a consistent pattern with the successful entrepreneurs I’ve talked with. They said you really need 5 things in order to be successful: You need a shtick or something unique that you offer than nobody else does. You have to have a network. Not only do you have to have a network, you have to be able to tap into your network in order to get work, get your name out there, and build and grow your business. You need a social presence. You need to be out there interacting and maintaining your presence. You need to write a book, specifically a hard cover book. You need to have enough money saved that you can spend 18-24 months making no money doing consulting. Biggest failure with a customer We learned early on that you have to use the 80/20 rule, particularly when you’re starting out. You need 80% of your time doing sales, selling, and nurturing your clients. Then the other 20% is development of your content. As entrepreneurs, we fall in love with our content and we want to work more on that than on selling. So, one of the things we didn’t do early on with one of our clients who we didn’t capture was that we were doing more development and not paying enough attention to them. Biggest success due to the right customer approach After I left Intel, I was doing a keynote speech for a large company in Silicon Valley for a sales conference and I literally ran into another consultant who had taught at Intel, he was an external consultant. We literally ran into each other while I was coming on to do my talk and he was leaving. I had taken one of his programs and it was a fantastic program. So I called him and said, Lets talk about how I can help you and I’d really love to use your material. So, I got certified on his material and he got certified on my material. We started offering additional products that filled out his product line, and for 5-6 years he gave me a steady stream of clientele that he’d booked, and in the meantime I was delivering his material to my customers. Dr. Gazzara’s key success factor You have to identity your strengths and weaknesses. Try to do more of what you like to do and most importantly, partner with someone, an accountability or capability coach, partner with someone who will hold

Workforce thought leader Cara Silletto, MBA, works with organizations of all sizes to reduce unnecessary employee turnover by bridging generational gaps and making managers more effective in their roles. As a Millennial herself, she knows first-hand what it is like to have a heightened sense of entitlement, very little employee loyalty and a dependency upon her smart phone. However, unlike many Millennials, Cara has figured out exactly how these attributes were cultivated during her formative years, and she now shares that story with leaders across the country, including teams at Toyota, UPS, Cintas and Humana. Cara learned early in her career, from her Baby Boomer and GenX mentors, what “professionalism” meant to them, and absorbed critical information about management expectations during her first decade in the business world. She then went on to earn her Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from the top-ranked University of Louisville Entrepreneurship program, lived overseas teaching German executives about business practices in the U.S., and then started her consulting firm, Crescendo Strategies, in 2012.  Today, at age 37, she’s a highly-sought-after national speaker conducting 50 to 100 engagements annually. Louisville Business First recently named her one of their 2018 Forty Under 40 young professionals. Workforce Magazine in Chicago named Cara a “Game Changer” for her innovative approach to solving generational issues in the workplace and Recruiter.com listed her in their “Top 10 Company Culture Experts to Watch,” list. She is also the author of the 2018 book, Staying Power: Why Your Employees Leave & How to Keep Them Longer.
