When You Resist Change, You Throw Away Opportunity! I recently went on the 'Transform Talks' podcast hosted by Maria Villablanca to discuss one of my favorite topics, change, specifically 'Embracing change in the workplace.' Maria led a great discussion with lots of interesting questions covering: 1. How to respond when questioned as to why you should think differently and change ahead of time. 2. How to drive change in the workplace and why leading by example is essential. 3. Why diversity is a great lever for change and how it's impacted my leadership and DHL Consulting. 4. New technology and change - why data and analytics and AI are topics that are high up on my agenda, and how to use them in a way that encourages others to see the benefit and use them effectively. Maria, many thanks for the invitation to talk with you. I really enjoyed the experience.

In #sales, shifting focus from your products to your customers' challenges and aspirations can transform your success. Larry Levine and Collin Stewart discussed this on the #PredictableRevenuePodcast, highlighting the power of engaging with genuine intention but without attachment to the sale's immediate outcome. This mindset fosters trust and a more authentic interaction. We also explored how #SalesProfessionals can create memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression, going beyond expectations to "wow" their customers. It's about listening, understanding, and innovating based on their feedback to provide services that resonate more deeply. Larry shared insights on maintaining high standards through discipline and consistency, echoing Andrew Carnegie's success principles. This blend of trust, authenticity, and a relentless focus on the customer sets the stage for unparalleled #SalesSuccess. Want more insight?

Absolutely loved discussing the future of work on "The Next 100 Days" podcast: "If you're a smart person with talent and skills, you don't have to sit in the same seat for 40 hours a week, make your TPS reports and go on with your life. You can actually apply that expertise to 2, 3, 4, 5 different companies serving as a fractional sales executive, helping to raise their revenue, build out their sales teams, identify where there might be holes in the funnel or friction in the sales process to oftentimes save time for the founder and the CEO." The future of work is evolving, and opportunities for talented professionals to make a broader impact are expanding. Embrace flexibility, diversify your experience, and drive growth across multiple organizations. Your skills are valuable, and there's a world of possibilities beyond the traditional 9-5. #FutureOfWork #FractionalExecutive #SalesLeadership #CareerGrowth #RemoteWork #BusinessStrategy #TheNext100Days #PodcastGuest

❗ We don’t need to align on the solution, we need to align on the PROBLEM! We see people get this twisted all the time. And it is one of the biggest pitfalls to designing for people. The solution we create together, but doing it without first aligning on the problem, is a risky endeavour. Skipping this step will give us different views of: 👾 Who we are helping 👾 What challenges we are addressing  👾 What impact we’re trying to achieve 👾 What success looks like And as such, will make it very difficult to even get anywhere with our solution-building at all. In episode 46 of The Experience Designers Podcast, Andre Fangueiro and I talk about design, the design mindset and what obstacles and challenges there are to using it in our organisations. If you - like me- love creating solutions for the humans in our workplaces, don’t miss it! And as usual, please share - what are some of your greatest challenges in building better solutions for people? #morehumanexperiences #designmindset #humancentereddesign #designthinking

What is your BIG DREAM? What would make you come alive and fill you with a sense of fulfillment and meaning? What is holding you back from getting there? TRUTH? A huge part of what keeps us spinning our wheels, stuck in analysis paralysis, and NOT making the bold moves we KNOW we get to take in order to move forward has more to do with misconceptions and LIES we've been fed than with our skill, ability, or determination to move forward. There are 3 concepts in particular that have been convoluted and misinterpreted to the point of keeping people from their goals instead of propelling them forward. It's time to clarify these concepts so we can finally focus on the most empowering and helpful ways of thinking and processing our goals and actions. Once we understand what these 3 KEY concepts really mean and how they work together, we'll be able to stop wasting our time, energy, and resources on the WRONG thing, and start making progress toward our big, AUDACIOUS dream.

“I want to build something great, but something great can’t be done just by yourself. You need to be able to inspire others to come on board, work with them put in the effort, roll up your sleeves and do it. Not someone that stands behind and just says, Do this or do that. So it’s a combination of it’s still a team sport, no doubt, but you still need to be the star athlete for every team.” On this episode of the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast, Craig Johns speaks with Krish Ramineni about how Fireflies revolutionises meetings, providing value for your customers, and how AI shapes the workforce. Tune in to episode 219 https://buff.ly/41T3yZs “The more friction you can always eliminate for people and add value to those platforms, the more they’ll lean in, the more interested they’ll be, and the more they want to work with you. If you can provide value, people will come to you.” We also dive deeper into AI vs. the human workforce, using resourcefulness as an advantage and the importance of creating meaningful human connections. “I’m a big believer that we should allow people that are highly motivated, self-accountable, to be able to work from wherever they want to work.” Download on your favourite podcast app or click here to listen 👇 https://buff.ly/41T3yZs #leadership #AI #technology #connection #inspiringgreatleaders

Have you stopped and asked yourself and your organization, “Why are we doing this?” You may or may not be surprised to find out that a lot of organizations make decisions, choose frameworks, and prioritize projects simply because of inertia and not because there's a real reason behind it. Why would you put time and resources into maintaining structures whose reasons have been lost to antiquity or never existed in the first place? It seems like common sense to individuals, but that often doesn't translate on the organizational level. This episode delves into the importance of understanding the reasons behind technical decisions and the pitfalls of following practices or working on projects without understanding their original purpose or questioning their current relevance. Defining the ‘why’ helps ensure that actions are not only based on historical momentum but are relevant, justified, and beneficial in their current context.

Technical leaders, listen up! We often get praised for nailing the technical details, but let's get real – it's not just about the data! The real magic happens when we use our knowledge to spark conversations, debates, and engagement around our proposals, designs, and ideas. Simply delivering facts and figures won't cut it! To truly connect with hearts and minds, we must learn the art of messaging – translating cold info into compelling stories. Why? Because when we do, we can ignite conversations, even when opinions clash. That's the secret sauce some leaders miss out on – it's all about influencing decisions and creating dialogue.
