Bold Business Podcast

We like to offer choices, to have multiple solutions for a single tool. Yet it is overwhelming for a customer to figure out when a multipurpose tool will really solve their problem. You can, however, avoid the too-much-of-a-good-thing dilemma. There is value in taking the time to build both relationships and trust in order to generate business. This program has come out of the vault to share immediately useful insights from Meridith Elliott Powell.

The more we try to hold something, the harder it is to hang on to. This is an illusion - created by our brain to keep us exactly where we are. When we think we are choosing our priorities, are we really? The exploration of our rationalizations and excuses may provide us insights to how aligned our intentions and priorities really are. Jess Dewell talks with Iva Ignjatovic and Scott Scowcroft about the truth behind our priorities.

When outsourcing, two oft-overlooked but common problems – biggies that can be avoided – are handing a process or project over without providing any guidance, and internally not planning for when the relationship will end. Both of these discounted areas cause outsourced projects to fail, and as business leaders on both sides of outsourcing relationships, we can take responsibility to address shared issues when beginning our outsourcing relationships. In this #VBBRadio program, Jess Dewell hosts panelists Alex Danzberger and Anand Dubey to discuss the business of outsourcing.

We need to take responsibility for our own self-talk, as it influences us and those around us. Whether using excuses, rationalizations, or even problem after problem … our self-talk affects us. Self-talk directly impacts our success because it shapes our perspective of what's happening and what we can do about specific situations. Listen in as Jess Dewell talks with special guest Mary Fran Bontempo – learn how to quit being nice, start saying no, and use self-talk to lift ourselves (and those around us) up successfully.

We all have a level of responsibility. How we choose to embrace, wear, and include responsibility in our lives directly correlates to the perspectives others have of us. It's true … what other people think doesn't matter. Because doing so is simply impossible to when we want to: create a better world; achieve our short- and long-term goals; all alone, make the life we want fulfilling. Even more relevant is that the ability to interact with others becomes a key component in determining how easy or difficult our path will be. Today Jess Dewell talks with Maxwell Ivey about traveling the difficult path – when our choices create dissonance instead of coherence. We decide we will figure it out, as there is no excuse.

Opportunities for market expansion are greater than ever before. Yet, there are many pitfalls we encounter when we rush or skim over the details. For example, the way teams communicate to new markets is directly impacted by company culture and the way products are delivered and supported.
