You're invited to lean in to discover if any of these Top 10 reasons discuss ring a bell for you. One of my mentors, Brian Klemmer shared with me some thoughts around “Abundance” and how a Compassionate Samurai asks, “How can I?” and average people ask, “Can I”? The premise of a Compassionate Samurai mindset is based upon blending a warrior like business mindset with character traits of compassion in order to produce extraordinary results. In business, often two types of leaders surface. The first are those who are nice, good-hearted, and compassionate, but can’t make much happen. The other kind can make everything happen – they’re creators, the go-getters, and the aggressive producers in society; however, they’re often self-centered, greedy, and unethical. How do you focus on making things happen in your business in a really big way, but not lose your integrity? Are you able to pass the litmus test reviewed today in order to become financially free?

This must listen to show covers the win-win philosophy of an ESOP conversion, where in a nutshell, the Employees Stock Ownership Purchase Plan is an incredible tool for business owners to cash out some or all of their ownership interest mostly tax-free. It also allows them to share their success with management and employees all with the blessings and the support of the US Government who has been backing the ESOP concept since its adoption by the US Congress in 1974. ESOP implementation is significantly easier to accomplish, dramatically less expensive, not as disruptive to the day-to-day business activities as a standard due diligence process, yet provides an attractive valuation, allows the owner to maintain control and collect the proceeds under very efficient tax exempt guidelines, all while being fully supported by the US Government. Tune in to learn more about the value of this win-win mindset and positioning in business.

Employee engagement; worker safety; the war for talent ... surely this should be an exceptional time to be employed anywhere in the world. And yet, when we scratch the surface, we so often find workplace abuses, a sense of disengagement, disillusionment, even cynicism, and a pervasive fear - of reprisal, of being held back, even of job loss and the personal and social devastation that can cause. More of us feel more pressure to perform and workplace stress than ever before, resulting in massive hidden costs - absenteeism, loss of productivity, and - more important for the long-term health of the economy - loss of creativity and innovation in parts of our workforce. Today's conversation is on toxic workplaces and how we can recognize them and then detoxify them to create productive, effective, results-oriented and healthy workplaces for everyone.

In this program, we will visit with John Storm, President of the BrainStorm Network to explore four primary elements of brainstorming. 1) The value of uncovering the creative ideas of your team. 2) How to generate more profitable ideas to improve your life & work. 3) Identify obstacles to innovation and creative thinking. 4) Discover how to capitalize on the power of brainstorming and innovation.

Innovation means different things to different people. When a CEO says “innovation”, it’s rare that employees truly understand what the CEO means. Innovation can mean … a thing, a value, a concept, a process or a strategy. Yet, some leaders use it to describe technology, R&D,or marketing. Sadly, innovation often gets thrown around like magic dust, a buzzword that’s lost its charm. In this show, John Storm, President of the BrainStorm Network, will share his insights & experiences after 25 years of innovation involvement. We’ll talk about a proven innovation process, along with a new model for designing a company’s innovation strategy. Getting clear about what metrics should be used to measure innovation’s impact is critical. We’ll talk about both hard & soft metrics you can use to focus on the key elements in designing a customized innovation strategy. Innovation ultimately means long-term survival, for if a company is not changing, improving, and growing, it will die.
