  • Engaging Your Employees with the Growth Accelerator

    Ryan Englin, CEO, Core Matters

    Learn more about the power of aligning your company’s values with employees’ values. Finally, understand what it means to invest in your people and engage them as you experience all-around business growth. MORE >

    On average, employees are with you for 3.1 years. That is unless they’re engaged. Engaged employees don’t leave. This begs the question: How are you currently engaging your workforce? How can you improve in this area?

    This workshop explores my growth accelerator model. It’s essentially a system implemented to help managers accelerate the personal growth of employees on top of their professional growth. Why? When your people value their training and their work on a personal level, they’re engaged and making the most of their careers. In fact, they can’t imagine working anywhere else.

    Further, we'll talk about the company story you're telling externally, as well as the story being told inside your organization. In short, we’ll examine what your business values, and I’ll explain how you can attract and hire people who value the same.

    This topic can be delivered live or virtually using Zoom.

  • Grace in Gravity: Cultivating Trust in Uncertain Times

    Cyd West, Executive Director, World Academy for the Future of Women

    Cyd West, a specialist in business and linguistics, presents ways to enhance our communication skills that are pertinent to every leader whose workforce feels affected by recent events and headlines.

    Today’s headlines: MORE >

    • Layoffs have decimated Cotech. Many of the remaining workers are immobilized by fear of losing their jobs through more layoffs or even company closure. John Powers, the CEO, thinks the situation can be turned around but he cannot make it with the current levels of productivity.

    • Employees of Medico have accepted a 1% cost of living increase in lieu of performance increases (usually between 4-6%) in order to protect their jobs during a downturn in the market. They soon find out the CEO of Medico was awarded a $6 million dollar bonus from the Board of Directors.

    These events occur every day and are highly publicized. They affect the culture in companies across the world. Uncertainty is airborne and contagious in the workplace. The costs of high turnover and productivity loss from poor morale are mounting.

    Cyd covers:

    • the “controllable” causes of uncertainty.
    • what employees want from their leaders during difficult times.
    • how a leader’s communication and behavior affect employee’s anxiety levels.
    • methods to solicit feedback and evaluate how our communication is perceived.

    Awareness of how our words and actions are interpreted during stressful times allows us to manage perceptions of our own reputation as well as the commitment of an organization to it’s workers, customers and partners. Opportunities abound to enhance these relationships through a realistic self-assessment and strategic communication.

    Recent research has unveiled a wealth of information for leaders who seek to motivate and inspire. Furthermore, there is a direct correlation to the bottom line. The common denominator in these findings is authentic and honest communication from successful leaders – as well as adopting the behaviors to support their messages.

  • What are KPIs and How Do I Track Them in My Business?

    Corwin Smith, Entrepreneur / Scaling Up Coach, Transcend Growth Parnters

    Let's face it, there's no shortage of great advice out there but little can be tied to real performance. I was once a CEO who managed my company from "gut" instinct. The problem is my "gut" didn't scale to my managers and it left frustrated with lack luster results. Even worse, my employees were relying on me to 'read the tea leaves' and predict the future. Before I learned how to properly develop and track KPIs I was shooting in the dark. MORE >

    Learn what KPIs are, Why they matter for YOUR business and Which Vital Few you should be tracking; daily, weekly, and monthly.
