KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Creating dynamic cultures and great working environments should be the cornerstone of any company. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. It is an evolving process.
• No one could have been prepared for the impact of COVID, especially on home working. The companies who have succeeded were the ones who were agile, providing their teams with the tools needed.
• Leaders have succeeded by keeping teams engaged by tailoring communications and motivational methods to suit the fact that the work environment has radically altered.
• The way in which we act as a leader must change, especially in the light of a return to the workplace. Leaders must accept that their roles have been largely assumed by teams who were asked to, at least partly, self-govern.

BEST MOMENTS

'This has been a dynamic opportunity'

'I'm a continuous learner'

'It's about an eagerness to evolve'

'We have to define what we want our culture to be'

This week, Gavin is joined by Sandy Brown, a mediation trainer, solicitor and speaker, to discuss the ways we can improve our mediation skills, and how to turn what can be an awkward situation, rife with conflict, into a mutually beneficial and friction-free outcome.

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Part of the problems we're seeing in the heightened sensitivity situations where mediation is required, is a lack of tolerance. Make sure you are listening effectively.
• Listening to the best of our ability involves truly hearing what is said. This is better fortified by pausing to reflect on what you have heard, repeating their points back, and look to discover the root cause.
• Focus upon your state and decide if it is conducive to helping you reach the desired outcome for both parties. Is your current mood beneficial to reaching that goal?
• Be clear about what the solution is, and make sure that it remains clear and achievable. This solution should be behind every step of the conciliatory process.

BEST MOMENTS

'Mediation is the key'

'Are we acknowledging and giving people the space to say what they want to say, and hearing themselves saying it?'

'In a world of uncertainty, you need certainty'

'If you can calm your breathing, calm your state, you're more likely to be able to respond in an effective manner'

In this episode, Gavin talks to wealth strategist, Derick Van Ness, about the ways in which we can better insure our future resources by strategically basing our todays upon the outcomes of tomorrow.

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Many business owners start with a passion that comes from the heart. But over time, this passion turns into something more transactional, which causes the passion to become a grind.
• Creating a financial structure around us and our wealth, helps to prevent our futures being decimated by the storms of calamity.
• If you can systemise saving money, then you will become wealthier every month, and if you don't, you will always live from paycheque to paycheque.
• There are three rules to use for any investment:
  • Invest in things you know about
  • Invest in things you care about
  • Invest in things you can control

BEST MOMENTS

'I was making a lot of money, but I was not being efficient, effective, or safe with it'

'I like the idea of taking something ugly and making it pretty'

'Like a boat out at sea, I got caught in the storm and smashed against the rocks'

'If you don't save, you can never reach the point at which you can invest'

It's a very special impromptu episode this time, in which Gavin and his special guests, Chris Haley and Mark Burch, discuss the 2021 budget announcement from Rishi Sunak, and what it could potentially mean for those in business.

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are 1.3 million people now about to be taken into being higher tax payers. This may not have seemed like a tax rise, but many more people will be paying more tax.
• The rumour was that capital gains tax rates were going to be aligned with income tax rates, which would have been a huge problem for property investors. This has yet to happen, but could take place.
• All the companies who have benefitted from saving on payroll through the furlough scheme, may believe that the higher rate of corporation tax is not a bad thing.
• The higher rate of corporation tax does not necessarily make the UK a negative place in which to invest. 25% even at the highest rate, still makes it one of the lowest in the G7.

BEST MOMENTS

'He's banking on a V-shaped recovery'

'You're dragging more people into the tax bracket'

'Innovation has come as a matter of course - that will be the secret of getting us out of this'

'The chancellor has been between a rock and a hard place'

With remote working fast becoming the norm in the new post-COVD world, Gavin talks to Uri Bram, founder of The Browser, about the ways in which he has successfully managed teams around the world, and how we can make the most of our people from afar.

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ensuring our teams know their separate areas of work, and structuring our workflows around this, is essential to provide a fluid stream of productivity.
• We need to account for the lack of nuance in communication that can occur with remote working. There are no more water cooler moments.
• Collaboration, done regularly, reinstates that sense of community we get from working in a collective environment. We are all social animals, and this can never be replaced.
• Other ways of encouraging interaction and engagement, are to make sure that we have instant forms of group communication.

BEST MOMENTS

'There's always been a very natural blurring between my home life and work life'

'We've structured things so as to make sure that everyone has a very clearly defined role'

'We basically watch each other work to some degree'

'We are all social animals in the end'
