Jerome Deroy was hired, but did not connect with the company’s culture.  When he did, he found it lacking direction.  Do any of your employees have the same feelings about your firm? Honest, engaging storytelling that touches people’s hearts changes relationships, professional and personal.  How well do you explain things to others? Did you know the human brain is hard-wired for story?  Scientific studies show us that we remember stories more than data, statistics, and numbers.  Yet most people in business try to convince others rather than use a story. Jerome and his Narativ team seek to change that.  They help companies activate behavioral change from the inside out.  Their methods of listening and storytelling can transform anyone’s communication. In this podcast, Jerome shares aspects of the rigorous and precise Narativ method that gets to the emotional heart of a story to better communicate your company’s value, a point your want to make, or the way a partnership can be a huge win-win for those involved. Join us to hear Jerome’s tips.  There’s got to be one here that can help you communicate more effectively with others. Jerome joined Narativ in 2007 after the founders, Murray Nossel and Paul Browde, handed him a shoebox full of notes and said, “We think there’s a company in here.”  Jerome had recently left a position at BNP Paribas, Hong Kong, and come to New York to pursue a career in filmmaking. Instead, he jumped at the challenge — and transformed Narativ into the business it is today. For the last 13 years, Jerome has worked closely with clients as diverse as CIGNA, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Janssen Pharma, and Warby Parker to craft business-relevant personal stories for sales, leadership, and team building.  He regularly lectures at Parsons New School of Design in New York City on The Art of Storytelling.

Here’s your chance to learn from a “Brain Geek.”  Wendy Swire wants to teach us how to rewire our brains to create laser-focused results as we move from “Saboteur” to “Sage Brain” thinking.

#216 – Mac Attram Leverages Joint Ventures for 200% Growth

Carey Smith grew Big Ass Fans from zero to $300 million over 18 years without outside investors.  He shares key parts of his story on this podcast. It’s interesting to note that when he sold Big Ass Fans for $500 million, the company’s stock appreciation rights program paid out $50 million to more than 100 loyal employees who shared Carey’s work ethic with 15 becoming overnight millionaires. Every year, American entrepreneurs start more than 500,000 companies, but only 200 will ever reach $100 million in revenue.  Even many that succeed will later fail. One valuable tip from Carey is that he personally called each new customer to hear first-hand what they liked about their Big Ass Fan, and more importantly, learn what they thought could be improved.  Why did he do that? Because Carey believes in a “fail-fast” approach to drive revenue quickly.  He learned a valuable lesson that you can usually tell within a short time if an idea’s going to work.  If it doesn't, then make the conscious decision to fail fast.  Carey tells his employees, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not working.”  Growth comes only from taking risks. Before Big Ass Fans, Carey spent more than a decade trying to grow another company, but its annual sales never rose above $1.4 million.  Carey admits he ignored warning signs and thought he should persevere a bit longer. Today, Carey leads Unorthodox Ventures, an Austin-based investment company he founded to provide everything venture capitalists lacked when they approached him near daily at Big Ass Fans.  Carey’s team consists of experts who help founders become serial entrepreneurs by providing support for everything from engineering and marketing to customer service and logistics. Join this conversation to become introduced into Carey’s success model.

Have you posted a YouTube video that has 1.4 million views?  Peter Anderton has (here).  It’s on his two rules of great leadership.  The popularity of this post demands us to consider it. David interviews Peter about leadership, well beyond his TED talk, "Great Leadership Comes Down to Only Two Rules."  Do you have leaders complaining about their people?  How do you get your team pulling together and heading fully focused in the right direction so amazing things happen? Peter suggests we build beliefs about people, products, systems, situations…  These beliefs, often based on assumptions, can lead us to make disastrous decisions.  We lack clarity on truth, but feel we have complete understanding.  Oops.  Wrong approach. Peter Anderton is the Founder of Internal Alignment, where he helps leaders build processes so they can 10x their companies from inside out.  He and his team have worked with hundreds of companies, including giants like Jaguar Land Rover, 3M, Atkins, HSBC Holdings, Michels & Taylor, and Huntsman.  Their programs typically deliver 1000%+ ROI.

Some consultants and leaders use diversity to divide.   Dr. Lauren Tucker believes another approach is more effective:  Focus on inclusion.    Dr. Tucker is the Founder and CEO of Do What Matters.  She is an entrepreneur who works with other entrepreneurs.  She talks candidly with David about how traditional diversity efforts often hurt the very people they are intended to help, and good intentions have not led to sustainable impact.   Dr. Tucker believes inclusion means all your employees feel invested in the mission of your company and success of the work.  One challenge is to achieve a win-win where diversity is a solution, not a problem to be fixed.  But if you want to go for inclusion, how do you build on your company’s strengths with a strategy that reduces cultural resistance to change, and enables you to achieve sustainable inclusion and representation goals faster?  It's not easy, but it is doable.  Part of the problem is the toxic media and political environment today that seeks to divide people by fear.  Join David and Dr. Tucker as they discuss how inclusion efforts fail and succeed in your company.   Spotify   Apple Podcast   Google Podcast  Manage2Win   ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

Today’s guest, Sam Citro Alexander, is an admitted Food Lover and Nutrition Nerd who’s bitewell team is on a mission to make healthy eating easy, convenient, and accessible for all. Sam and her team says they tried about 1,000 different food and nutrition apps, but concluded none helped people eat well.  Instead, most healthy eating platforms focus on cooking and preparation although the average American only cooks 1 meal a day. Food is part of the fuel for your employee performance.  Companies have varying degrees of support for employees on mental health, physical health, emotional health… but most Americans fail to consider how their diet affects their personal and professional lives. Bitewell is an app that captures how we really eat.  Our snacks, the food we order out, our iced lattes, what we cook…  Why track it?  Because this enables us to consider making small changes to WHAT we eat and tracking how it affects us. Join this conversation to hear how Samantha Citro Alexander decided to leave her exciting role as the Chief of Staff to Jane Lauder at Clinique, NYC, part of The Estée Lauder Companies to start bitewell.  She has also been the Director of Integrated Marketing (Smashbox, LA), where she co-created Jefacon, a women’s empowerment and leadership summit celebrating the Beauty of Being a Boss.

Today’s podcast is with Dr. John Jackson, the President of William Jessup University, the 3rd fastest growing institution of its type in the nation.  Prior to Jessup, John has been an entrepreneur, a journey he wrote about in one of his many books,  Pastorpreneur. David and John have a candid conversation about the state of education in America today, and how that is affecting our economy.  The situation is not all bad, but it has never been so dire.  What’s a leader to do?  Listen in and hear some great insights. John has served as the executive director of Thriving Churches International.  He is the founding pastor of LifePoint Church in Minden, Nevada, and was the executive minister of the American Baptist Churches of the Pacific Southwest (now Transformation Ministries) where he served more than 270 churches in four western states. Dr. Jackson holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in Educational Administration and Organizational Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara; M.A. in Theology (Christian Formation and Discipleship) at Fuller Theological Seminary; and a B.A. in Religion (Christian History and Thought) from Chapman University.

#204 – Dr. John Jackson on What to Expect From College Graduates

How can you stand out in the incredibly crowded markets of today? Seven years ago, Sri Chellappa understood the Human resources area needed more than administrative strategies. For an area as crowded as this, he thought it was necessary to redefine the HR processes and develop a strategy that would help managers streamline HR processes and harness employee potential. So, he did. Sri is the President and Co-Founder of Engagedly, an INC 5000 company. With his team, strategy management software redefines performance management, employee engagement, and development to enable organizations to build highly engaged and high-performance teams. He has over 20 years of leading organizations in technology and consulting in the United States, is a Forbes contributor, a Top 50 Tech visionary, and is recognized as a Titan 100 in the St. Louis business district. The story of how Sri and his team broke into the crowded HR market is worthwhile. Don’t miss the advice he gives on how to develop best practices for your team.

#203 – How Sri Chellappa’s Engagedly Stands Out in a Crowded Market

On the slopes of Colorado, Shea Gerhardt’s ears hurt from wearing typical earbuds for hours.  Ouch!  There has to be a better way…  and Buderflys research began. But why leave two decades as a high-paid executive in the mobile, gaming, and music industries?  Shea had worked with Universal, Sony, EMI, and Warner Bros., as well as VZW, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Vodafone. The reason is other earbud designs are flawed.  The human ear canal moves as we move, and thus hard plastic, inflexible Apple EarPod / AirPod-like designs not only fall out, they can hurt when wore for long periods of time.   But how can Shea and her team develop a clear and focused path to cut through the noise of a crowded market overpopulated with stale product designs?  How can they flip it so better, user-centric products are king even though massive corporate conglomerates and Chinese knockoffs saturate the market?  Shea believes in doing things right.  She couldn’t standby and just accept the status quo when better is possible.  It took four years of innovation, creativity, and grit for her team to perfect the design of high-end, premium-sounding Buderflys made with a proprietary, innovative squishy material that flexes with the ear’s movement as we talk, chew, and exercise.  You can wear Buderflys for hours as you enjoy a crisp and clear sound.  (David checked:  The reviews on the microphone are positive too!) Join this podcast to hear Shea’s candid story.  It’s fun, inspiring, and insightful.  Who knows?  Maybe Shea’s insights might help you create the next Goliath-killer product or service.  Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/41rIZOQ...

#202 – Shea Gerhardt Beats Apple At Their Own Game

What if your company’s culture was not haphazard, but a beautiful tapestry masterfully designed to engage each individual based on their individual dreams, skills, behaviors, and experiences? For more than 20 years, Gustavo Razzetti of Fearless Culture has helped teams do the best work of their lives.  Most organizations don’t lack ideas, talent, or resources.  Instead, leaders lack a conducive culture where employees are encouraged to collaborate, take initiative and experiment beyond perceived limitations. In this episode, Gustavo walks us through his Culture Design Canvas, a framework to map, assess, and design your culture.  He has written four books on culture change, including his latest that was released earlier this year,  Remote Not Distant: Design a Company Culture That Will Help You Thrive in a Hybrid Workplace.  Join this conversation to see if Gustavo’s creative approach can help your company.

#201 – Gustavo Razzetti Explains Your Culture Design Canvas

How can humility and anarchy build a business? Ari Weinzweig teaches anarchy is not being at war or demanding a lack of structure.  “Ari’s Anarchy” (David’s term) involves fully connecting with your employees to create and evolve your company.   Ari’s Anarchy replaces a focus on hierarchy with humble recognition of the value each member brings to your company.  His approach honors everybody as a unique individual, welcomes what you learn from them, and believes there is potential in everybody. Does that sound too touchy-feely for you?  Too bad if it does, because you cannot argue with Ari’s results.  He’s an overcomer. Ari is CEO and co-founding partner of Zingerman's Community of Businesses a collection of Zingerman’s businesses.  He and his partner started as a 1,300 retail delicatessen.  Now their businesses are approaching $75 million in revenue, each with its own food specialty, all located in the Ann Arbor area.  Each business group strives to make the shopping, taste, and relational experience of Zingerman’s the most flavorful and enjoyable interactions of your day. C’mon, couldn’t your business use a little anarchy to shake things up and rocket past your next growth objective?  Tune-in to get a glimpse of Ari’s mastery.
