Bold Business Podcast

From stress to chaos we like shortcuts. When we don’t think, and decide to shortcut we end up making more work for ourself (and everyone around us). First we choose to see what bologna we’ve allowed ourselves to create. Second we notice it without judgement. Third, we decide if it’s good (for us) and actively engage to stay the same or change. Jess Dewell and Iva Ignjatovic will discuss how to let go of the bologna that gets in the way of our business decisions.

Ralph Young joins Jess Dewell to discuss the language of listening as it pertains to client relationships, so we can learn to better respond to situations we find ourselves in and achieve the results we want.

The ability to listen is an underutilized tool. Whether in sales, negotiations, marketing, or our kids and our loved ones we can improve the response to what we say by listening first. We can feel it when our conversations take a turn, and we don't know the reason we can look to our listening to inform us. Ralph Young, linguistics expert, will share what we often overlook, changes we can make today, and discern what people are trying to say to achieve the results we want in his conversation with Jess Dewell.

When we let go of our focus on exactly what message we want to convey and don't think about the words tumbling out of our mouths, we can find ourselves in the midst of a major miscommunication. This situation can be mitigated by intention and thoughtfulness ... a few moments to consider what words best convey what we want to say. Joining Jess Dewell today are Johanna Walker and Nora Richardson to discuss ways to effectively communicate what we mean with what we say.

Too busy! Scope creep! Stalled! Stuck! Overwhelmed!!! These are just a few of the experiences and feelings that occur when we've taken on too much. What if we noticed ourselves, our team, our company going down that path before realizing we're stretched too thin? We can choose to look for that path, and use its trail to inform ourselves on what needs to happen to change course. Jess hosts panelists Jimmy Godard and Ryan Marchman on this topic; listen in as they discuss concrete actions to take when we realize there are too many things going on, and nothing is getting done.

With over 70 people visiting The Voice of Bold Business in the last year, we've heard many experiences that point to something – a tangible quantity that exists on our periphery. Something that comes from within ourselves, yet is only as strong as others' perceptions of us. Something we all start with and we all have. Through our choices we either keep or lose this most essential presence. Trust is a part of what I'm describing; trust, though, can be rebuilt over time. Credibility is also part of what I'm talking about; we can have a ton of credibility, or none at all – both at the same time, because of the different groups in which we participate. Jess Dewell explores elements of integrity, and the process of taking the first step in owning our integrity by deciding the values we will live our lives by.

To be a leader, there must be followers. Followers recognize something that allows them to give a person a chance to lead … something more than just "leadership." For executives and business owners, this relationship can be tenuous. To be a leader, there must be followers. Followers recognize something that allows them to give a person a chance to lead … something more than just "leadership." For executives and business owners, this relationship can be tenuous. How we care for and grow opportunities to build trust with our teams is up to us. Jess Dewell hosts panelists Jimmy Godard and Robert Willard to discuss what makes the milestone of that first connection of trust so important.
