Changing Ideas On Growth with Paul Farmer
Tim Sweet is again joined by Paul Farmer, Business Mentor and Founder of Mentoris Group, to discuss how leaders are addressing the new needs of both employees and clients in how their businesses bring value to the world. Are leaders still clinging to old thoughts about growth, and how can they change?
Paul shares how business leaders he works with are presenting arbitrary ideas for growth that don’t necessarily answer the right questions for today’s market. What do leaders really want from their businesses? What do they personally want to achieve? Can that be accomplished by increasing value instead of simply bodies or labor? Paul gives several examples of old versus new thinking patterns.
Tim Sweet and guest Paul Farmer address three key areas where leaders can benefit from re-assessing their business needs to fit today’s worker and client demands. Paul singles out client and workflow as the first area, the employee team as the second area, and roles as business owner or leader as the third area to assess. Tim and Paul dissect each of these ideas in detail, explaining how thinking has shifted and how the new questions to ask benefit business growth in different ways.
About Paul Farmer
Paul Farmer, Business Mentor and Founder of Mentoris Group, completed his Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Southern Queensland before he moved to Brisbane to pursue an accounting career. He worked for both Bentleys MRI and Snelleman Tom, being admitted as a Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) in 2002. Playing Premier Rugby Union for Norths (1996), GPS (1997 – 2002, Club captain 2001), Australian Combined States U21 and Australian Barbarians in 1996 enabled Paul to develop a strong network of professional contacts.
In 2002 Paul took a sabbatical to the UK, gaining invaluable exposure to different cultures, work practices, travel opportunities and sporting pursuits. After 20 years working for large organizations both in Australia and the UK, it was time to give something back. Leaving a strategic leadership role, Paul saw coaching as a way of guiding others through the ever increasing uncertainty and pressures life presents, similar to those he encountered. Paul is a registered CPA, Associate Member of the International Coach Guild, Member of the Coaching Institute, working towards being an International Accredited Professional Master Coach and currently holds a Blue card for working with children and youths.
