Our latest episode is live. Here are my top 3 takeaways from my conversation with Charlie Saffro: Watch full episode on Youtube: https://lnkd.in/eZG7K344 Listen on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/etweuqWG 1. Find Your Sweet Spot: Entrepreneurs thrive when they can work in an area that aligns with their skills, strengths, and passions. Charlie highlighted the importance of working within her sweet spot, where she can leverage her strengths and delegate tasks that don't align with her expertise. By focusing on the areas that naturally energize and motivate you, you’re able to produce your best work. 2. Workplace Culture Matters: Workplace culture plays a pivotal role in employee engagement, talent attraction and retention, performance, and company reputation. Charlie emphasizes the significance of working with companies that prioritize taking care of their employees. It's not just about filling vacancies; it's about creating a supportive environment where employees are recognized for their achievements, learn from setbacks, and feel valued and respected. When employees feel supported, they are more likely to give their best effort, go the extra mile, and contribute to the organization's success. 3. Don’t Neglect Self-Care: Entrepreneurs often face demanding schedules and high levels of stress, which can lead to neglecting physical health and work-life balance. Charlie highlighted the importance of self-care, including activities like yoga and meditation, which provide a mental break and help maintain balance amidst the demands of entrepreneurship. Prioritizing self-care can significantly enhance productivity, creativity, and decision-making abilities, leading to overall improved performance. Bonus Takeaway: Demonstrate You Care: When businesses demonstrate that they genuinely care about their customers, it builds trust, loyalty, and emotional connection. Charlie's company created a commercial titled "We Give a Sh*t" to set themselves apart from the prevailing attitude of indifference. The aim was to show that they truly care about the impact they have on clients, job applicants, team members, and everyone they interact with. Adopting this philosophy in all business interactions can enhance a brand's reputation, build customer loyalty, and drive business growth.

I had an inspiring and worthwhile discussion with @Adam Weber on the latest episode of #HRSuperstars, and we dove into the power of appreciation in the workplace as a core building block for communicating a sense of value among employees. A work culture of authentic appreciation comes down to how specific you are when showing value. That leads to connectivity, which is the foundation of why employees stay where they are.
