Engaging People Pod

Recently I've been reading a book by Brian Portnoy & Josh Brown called 'How I invest my money' and it's a number of finance professionals speaking about how they invest their own money.

They and I spend a lot of time explaining how others 'should' invest and where they should put their money so it was great to hear about what they do and what bias's they succumb to.

It gave me the idea that I too should share how I invest my money. So here it is. I hope you enjoy and please let me know your own money stories. Find me on twitter - @samsloma1 or on Linkedin Sam Sloma

Last week I joined Jason Butler on his brilliant podcast 'Real Money Stories'. Jason is a financial services legend, a well renowned author and speaker and so it was great to talk to him about my own personal views on money.

The Engaging People Pod doesn't always cross over into financials with clients as we want to keep podcasts about people and their stories, however as we move towards episode 100 we might edge towards more numbers based conversations.

You can find Jason on twitter and Linkedin as @JBthewealthman and as Jason Butler on Linkedin.

Phil Lewis is an award winning business strategist, mentor, speaker & author. He is the founder of corporate punk who are a management consultancy with a difference.

Here he explains the below.

The next five to ten years are looking bumpy. Like the financial crisis in 2008, coronavirus has unleashed economic consequences that will be measured in years not weeks or months. To survive and thrive, many businesses need to fundamentally and urgently change how their people work together, to become more responsive, resilient and innovative. They need to ready themselves for a world where the only constant is change.

How do you know if your organisation is change ready?

There are six steps you need to take - in order.

Most organisations fail at change because they omit one or more of these steps, believing them to be less important than just "cracking on". Or they handle them badly, because their thinking is woolly or they haven't properly worked through sources of disagreement.

We teach the world's leading organisations how to avoid hurdles like these, and they are often surprised by the progress that they can make when they do the basics well. (The basics are often the highest form of skill.)

Step 1: Set the vision for change

Step 2: Create a simple (but not simplistic) strategy for change

Step 3: Study feasibility

Step 4: Ensure that your culture is ready

Step 5: Get good at conflict

Step 6: Communicate, communicate, communicate
