How much does your ego hold back your company’s growth? It might be more than you realize. You could stunt your company’s potential without a commitment to ongoing learning and a clear intention to achieve your most significant ambitions.

 

We know a lot about running a business yet often fail to act on it. The reasons behind this are numerous, but as days, months, and years pass, the rapid changes in technology, compliance, and planning are closely tied to your company's ability to remain relevant. This hinges on the proactive steps you take to evaluate and adapt to the evolution of your organization.

 

In this episode, you’ll hear about valuable life lessons that carry over into the business world, how to engage in meaningful conversations while balancing your thoughts and feelings, and the critical importance of asking tough questions about disruption (as it can arise from unexpected sources).

 

Your host, Jess Dewell, sits down with Rohit Maini, the managing director at Apex Accountancy, to discuss the importance of being bold in the decisions you face today. He shares his journey of navigating company growth, both with and without the influence of his ego.

You will learn how to increase your capacity through leadership, execution, strategic vision, and innovation. This information will lend support as you prepare for the worst case scenario, and then navigate through what shows up. You’ve got this!

Not noticing the signs of decision fatigue, a decline in work quality, and increased stress can lead to the perfect storm that can potentially destroy your business. 

Keeping your head in the game and staying disciplined to see big change is difficult. The lessons that come from such dedication to building a thriving business include: remembering your gut is an informant to be listened to as part of the decision-making process; rigidness creates missed opportunities, and that change is time-intensive as well as messy.

Jess Dewell talks with Kiley Peters, CEO and Founder of Brainchild Studios® and RAYNE IX, about gaining insight by slowing down the struggles that show up during a long period of change and how to embrace change and transition to something new with consistent action.

Your commitment to supporting your team is more complex than ever before. The ability to help others move through tough situations comes from knowing your boundaries and the boundaries around the way your company completes work.

How we approach our work — identify then solve a problem, reduce costs, produce more, and follow a process for efficiency — can impact the short term. To adapt and flex with change, we must add emotional intelligence. 

Jess Dewell and Dr. Cassandra LeClaire, Communication Consultant, discuss how compassion and boundaries work together to create high-performance teams. Learn how to ask for what you want so others know how to support you, how acting with compassion can look different every day, and how healthy boundaries reflect our goals and values.

Accountability is elusive, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, you may have all that is needed except for time and discipline. Too much time management drastically impacts your ability to connect and fully show up to minimize risk, expand capacity, and have truthful conversations. In this  #AskJess Anything question roundup from the Fast Track Your Business program, Jess Dewell focuses on how to reduce failure by intentionally designing points of accountability.

The impact you can achieve is directly related to how and what you think about … including avoidance, over-positivity, and even accidental oversight. Knowing what work is necessary — and what work is possible —  you can achieve more than you ever thought possible.

In this program you will learn to be ruthless about what is possible; that you can understand the nuances of what you can control; and that you are a model for what behavior is desired. Jess Dewell will share how a commitment to a weekly Present Retreat™ will give you a way to design more accountability into your life and business.

The rules of business are constantly evolving – and it doesn't matter what industry you're in. To stay ahead, we must shift our focus from merely keeping up with the competition to setting the standard ourselves. Innovation isn't just a buzzword; it's the key to relevance and longevity in the marketplace.

 

Consider this: according to the Wild Newsletter, a staggering 52% of Fortune 500 companies have either faced bankruptcy, been acquired, or disappeared entirely due to stagnation. The cost of inaction is far too high.

 

So, how can your business ignite change, disrupt the status quo, and lead the way in your sector?

 

This is a crucial question—because failing to innovate can spell disaster.

 

In this episode of "It's Your Business," join Christy Maxfield, President and CEO of Purpose First Advisors, Dean Barta, Founder and CEO of Barta Business Group, and your host, Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction. Together, they dive into three key areas that will help you navigate the whirlwind of change your business faces:

 

1. Discover the catalyst that will drive your change.

2. Learn how to identify trends that shape your priorities and decisions.

3. Explore existing resources and strengths you can leverage for sustainable change.

 

You'll walk away with insights to tackle the pivotal question: How can our businesses not just keep pace but become the catalytic force, the disruptor, and the standard-setter, ensuring we remain relevant and drive our industry forward? Tune in and get ready to innovate!

All action comes with risk. You can mitigate the risk by breaking down multi-year initiatives into smaller goals. Picking one small goal provides a way to collect information and gain additional knowledge to sort, think through, and prioritize the next best step.

Making time to reset and recharge ensures you maintain the focus needed to face the next uncertainty, how building accountability promotes forward progress, and the importance of endings so the next can begin. 

In this program, Jess Dewell talks to John Bertino, Founder of The Agency Guide (TAG), about a journey in developing an idea, achieving proof of concept, and how to reach your long-term goals successfully.

Observe your behaviors. How you ask for help or don’t will impact how you can create connections. Sales conversations require an ask, and your personal brand is as strong as your connections. 

You are a work in progress, and being proud of your past self is paramount to becoming the person you need to be to achieve all desired goals. Connecting with others helps people better understand you because your words and actions match, allowing space for achieving more. More money. More time. More peace. More accomplishment.

Jess Dewell talks with Ben Albert, founder and owner of Balbert Marketing LLC and The Real Business Connections Network, about the effort it takes to be confident.

Deeply related to business success today, your ability to flex and adapt is more important than ever. In addition, compassion can be interwoven into thriving businesses. To tap into resilience, you must go beyond acknowledging someone else's hardship and attempt to understand the whats and whys of their experience to intentionally choose how to show up for yourself, your business, and the other person.

As you take on bigger goals with more considerable risks, community becomes ever more important, even as it becomes hard to know how today's results impact future outcomes and what is missing from the plans made. 

Jess Dewell welcomes David Shriner-Cahn, Smashing the Plateau Community Builder and Podcaster, to discuss how companies can thrive with compassionate and empathetic leadership.

Seemingly urgent daily items can quickly fill up more than your available time. 

Committing time to look at the bigger picture is not easy. Yet, the awareness that emerges from strategic initiatives allows you to say “yes” to more of the right things that will help you navigate the urgent and vital. 

In this episode, you will hear about how the result of breaking something (that was working) was necessary to grow and how to deal with always present doubt. Learn the importance of knowing what and when to share to guide your team well. Jess Dewell talks with Andy Buyting, Founder & CEO of Tulip Media Group, about doing things differently in your business.

Small, meaningful conversations use existing hope for a more significant positive impact on your future. Breaking down barriers never happens in ideal moments; however, you can still make the most of each interaction.

In this episode of BOLD Business Podcast, you will hear about prompts to evaluate what holds you back, prompts to assess overwhelm, and the fact that people require effort and time to build trust. Meeting people where they are can help you embrace and use what is present to work together on the current set of priorities.

Jess Dewell talks with Houda Elyazgi, Chief Client Officer at Saxum, about taking the time to care and to fully allow yourself and others to have the chance to show up in purposeful conversation.

Growth happens in sprints. Defining the beginning, middle, and end of a business growth sprint is necessary for the wellness of you and your team.

1. Your energy matters for your business success
2. Why high capacity is needed to navigate uncertainty
3. How to do less to achieve more results by having more intention

The framework includes:

1. clarity and ability to communicate your mission consistently

What makes your company different is what will make your company last. High-performance teams know how to problem-solve and be flexible – yet they are high-performing because they understand how to use the combined skill sets at the right time.

Yet, it takes time to discover, learn, and most importantly, know when to lean into the team's strengths. Understanding and applying this knowledge helps develop communication with customers, what expectations to set, and how to quickly assess and choose the right opportunities at the right time.

Jess Dewell talks about building a trust-based partnership with Kevin Kamali and Ali Meshksar, Owners and Co-Founders of EA Home Design. You will hear about the importance of taking time to build trusting relationships, the value of knowing what makes your company unique, and how structured growth allows for adapting to market changes.

Reframe the rules you follow to build a future-ready business by identifying what you don’t want and shifting your mindset to be growth-oriented.

 

Productivity is not just about efficiency or organization. True productivity stems from intentional behaviors and habits that align with the needs of both you and your team. Business positioning is not a one-time effort; it’s an ongoing process that evolves alongside your business.

 

In this episode of the BOLD Business Podcast, you will hear real experiences that illustrate what it takes to run, evolve, and scale a growing business. Discover how growth occurs when we adapt and change our approaches, what the “voice of success” sounds like, and gain insights to strengthen your five- to 10-year outlook. Learn how daily planning can still accommodate the unexpected.

 

In this conversation with Jess Dewell, Amber De La Garza, The Productivity Specialist, shares her experiences of successfully growing a business through both internal and external challenges. 

 

Amber discusses how her pivot from being an “organization consultant” to an “efficiency consultant” transformed her business by allowing her to communicate in her clients’ language. She emphasizes the importance of staying true to long-term goals, even in tough times and what it means to be BOLD by being consistent and vigilant about maximizing your time.

It takes time to build, deploy, and gain the adoption of your product. Without knowing where – and the reason why – you are going in a particular direction, it’s easy to become discouraged and give up. 

Each of us has an ultimate goal, and it is important to know what that goal is. Once known, creating the right business strategy, choosing the right priorities, and navigating the difficulties in every business becomes easier since you know what is non-negotiable.

With attention to the details that make up your unique selling proposition and how your company works, the organization can successfully adapt and thrive through the external and internal ups and downs all businesses navigate. 

 

However, reaching the next level of business growth brings new challenges. Deciding how to approach issues and snags when in the middle of the day-to-day provides a guidepost. 

 

That's why putting effort into managing your time is the requirement for success. Time can be creative, and interestingly, time constraints encourage us to stay resourceful.

Reflection must be part of your leadership role as a necessary part of an organizational checkup process. Today's most important action or project may be different from the week, quarter, or year.

Developing the skills necessary to find and challenge assumptions offers a realistic assessment of what is going on in your business.

Legacy isn’t just about the wealth you leave behind; it’s about the leaders you cultivate in the present.

 

Building trust takes time, interaction, and navigating frustrations together. When team members feel free to express their emotions and challenges, it fosters a healthier workplace dynamic and enhances problem-solving.

 

This mindset enables organizations to set ambitious goals, take ownership, commit to continuous learning, and achieve consistent results — this is the formula for bold leadership.

 

In this episode, you’ll discover what the Power of Four is and how to apply it, dive deeper into self-reflection to find ways to provide more value, and explore the significance of diverse perspectives in driving innovation.

Want more time in your day? Achieving this goal is possible when you're focusing on the right work, designing a process to ensure you're doing the right work and ensuring there is time to do the work.  Repeating success comes from inner confidence, which involves a clear finish line you can communicate, hold accountability to, and problem solve as a team to reach that goal. 

The most significant impact you can make is understanding (and then choosing) the right work on which to focus and making sure the right people are doing those tasks.

Your awareness of the paths employees are on, what accountability looks like in your company, and how you approach problem solving influence the way everyone does work in your organization. 

So much is out of our control. This includes what is in the “head and heart space” of employees when they come to work, what the economy is doing, and even the way your customers think about your product. Aligning your mission and vision – and courageously having conversations that acknowledge people for who they are and what they bring to the table – equate to real conversations about equity.
