Episode Summary
It’s no secret how hiring remote workers or setting up your virtual team made you save tons of cost. Since the pandemic, remote working has become the new norm. Do you agree? In fact, a lot of businesses right now offer hybrid work set-ups. If not, they are hiring remote workers and setting up their very own virtual team.
Omar and I talked about our experience in having our virtual teams. He shared how his communication dynamic has been working for him, which made his business scale up to its capacity now. He shared proven tips on how to keep remote employees engaged and the productivity it yields.
By now, there’s no proven science yet, in terms of communication dynamics for managing a remote team. But one thing’s for sure: If you are not effectively managing people face-to-face, there’s no chance you’d be with a remote team!

A lot of business owners underestimate the power of employee motivation in managing people. No wonder you’re here today wondering whether or not you can increase motivation without doing a lot. Anthony joins me today as we’re chatting about how you can exactly do that, which will save you time and money in the long run.
What’s unique about Anthony is that - he acknowledged that, over the years, his management style has changed. And that’s greatly influenced by the industry he is operating. He knew how the “necessary why-s” and the relationship play a role in motivating people.
You don’t get the best results most of the time, but when you effectively manage to motivate your employees and manage them well - not only you are able to close the loop. You can also leverage it to achieve your business goals while you allow them to thrive.

Episode Summary
Sara Sheehan joins us in today’s episode! Sara and I talked about one of the most common topics around people management, which is having the best company culture. Is there such?
Sara puts it - company culture’s foundation is supported behaviours. And this came from her years of experience from a human capital perspective. Sara highlights, though, that while it means supported behaviours among a group of people, it is important that you are clearer with the desired outcomes you want to achieve out of tolerance and in your business context. This is how you can create the best company culture while realistically achieving action, accountability and productivity.
We also agreed on one aspect: An unhealthy company culture led by a poor leader is a disaster!
Suppose you feel like you are looking to sprint the corporate ladder, or wanting to create an impact that fires across all cylinders, or delegated to change a company culture that fails the business. In that case, this is an episode you should be tuning in and taking advantage of it!

Episode Summary
Delegation has been a core topic, you know, I am very passionate about. So, I am super thrilled to have NaTandya Dowell, in today’s podcast episode as we discuss the pitfalls of delegation of work and why delegating effectively as a small business owner can be very hard!
It’s known that a lot of solopreneurs turned into entrepreneurs have difficulty on how to de delegate. This is hugely because they thought of the business idea, built their business way up, and developed it further hence their strong attachment to their business. While this is valid, this is the pitfall many small business owners are dragged into, eventually leading them to get stuck.
Make sure you don’t forget to download this on your list and learn from NaTanya, who’s successfully done that!

Can you achieve "profit predictability" in your small business operations by simply being effective in communication leadership? Adam Liette, Smooth Operations founder, joins us in today's podcast episode and shares how this is possible!
Behavioural science tells us that every interaction affects people's performance. Each interaction can work best when we work from a place of comfort or on schedules, when people know what is expected of them and see those expectations met. That's where effective communication leadership comes in place - providing my team members with predictability and creating a more guaranteed space for your profitability.
In essence, Adam leverages on structured and tangible remote team communication to predict roadmaps for your team and small business operations with the use of an operating system he designed. To him, every business is a living, breathing organization. It's not just an org chart—it's also a group of people with whom you interact in ways that influence their performance.
This is a must-listen episode! Make sure you take advantage of this and learn about Adam's structured approach to achieving predictability through team communication!
