I was traveling recently, and the person sitting next to me on the plane asked me what I did. I mentioned that companies hire me and my team members to come in and make meeting more fun and interesting. She said, "Give me your card. I just left one of the most boring and taxing meetings ever organized." And actually, that happens a lot. When event planners organize meetings, their time is limited. And they want to maximize the time they have available. So, the technical, business related topi...

3 Steps to Choose the Best Corporate Team Building Event

When people hear the phrase “corporate team building event”, they usually think of outdated or awkward activities. Maybe it’s trust falls, a pizza party, or that cringeworthy moment when everyone shares “something interesting about themselves.” In other words, not exactly exciting. But team building doesn’t have to be cheesy. They can be fun. They can be powerful. And most importantly, they can make a real difference in how your team members work together. Choosing the right event is easier t...

Then, I give you a bunch of real-world examples of the difference between a Growth Mindset person and a Fixed Mindset person. (Hint: one t...

Make Strategic Thinking Part of Your Team Culture

With all the challenges going on in the economy right now, as a business owner or team leader, it's real easy to focus on the challenges and not your team.

The company or team that adapts first always has an advantage in the marketplace. So, on this episode, I've going to show you how to make stra...

The Presidential Elections of 2024 are next month. And every election year, politicians make a lot of promises and demonize the other candidate. In 2020, just for fun, I did a series on How to Manipulate People and the Signs of a Con Artist.

A 100 Year Opportunity to Build Wealth Is Here Part 1 of 3

A couple of years ago, I covered a topic on the show about how to build wealth. At the time, we were in the process of coming out of the pandemic, and the economy was growing like gangbusters. The episode series gave three simple steps -- simple but not easy because each step takes a lot of discipline. I covered the topic because I knew that, based on what I was seeing in the business world, the huge increase in the economy was temporary. And we were on the precipice of a huge economic d...

Improving Communicate with Different Generations in the Workplace

This week, I cover a slightly lighter topic. I started researching this topic about a year and a half ago, and what I found out was fascinating. One of my customers asked me to put together a workshop on the communication styles of the different generations in the workplace. As I put it together, I started to realize that there is a reason why Millennials prefer to chat or text rather than call or Facetime. I also realized why Baby Boomers and Gen Z folks are more likely to talk to ...

Get More Customers for Your Small Business in a Recession - Part 1 of 3

In the last episode, I covered details about how a huge recession (maybe even depression) is not only imminent, but I believe has already started. I even started the episode by talking about how I usually like to be uplifting and positive, but the topic was so heavy that it is difficult, as a small business owner, to keep positive when we are confronting something so negative. The good news about all the negative stuff that we covered in the last episode, though, is that if we really are...
