Helping People Perform

This week’s guest is financial educator and mortgage advisor Funmi Olafunwa.

With a history in law before moving into the world of financial advice, Funmi is all about taking a human approach to all things money. Her mantra of “no judgment, no jargon” means that she approaches every financial conversation in the context of the people that are being impacted, communicating in clear and concise language that people actually understand.

In the final installment of the deep dives into the sections of the RAPID Performance framework we explore Data

The assumption that more data leads to better performance is not necessarily true, and is the RIGHT data that makes the difference

By following the RAPID framework you can identify what the minimal data set is that is required to derive the insights that people need.

As always, if you would like to discuss this (and/or any other aspect of the RAPID Performance framework) please don't hesitate to set up a free, no-obligation 1:1 chat with me via https://calendly.com/paulteasdale/1-1-virtual-catch-up-with-paul

A wonderful chat with serial start-up merchant and all-round great human Hugo Pickford-Wardle, covering everything from selling potpourri to golfers, to helping teenagers earn £16k by the time they’re 16.

As one of the co-founders of Startup Sherpas, Hugo brings a fresh approach to getting teenagers interested in starting and running their own business by doing something radical – paying them! We talk about the importance of failure as an entrepreneur, and the one thing that is more important – quitting.

In this week's episode of the Helping You Perform podcast I talk about the 'P' of the RAPID Performance framework, for 'People'. In particular, I talk about how to ensure you have the right people in your organisation, and align that to the Actions section of RAPID.

I talk about an insightful story about how an unlikely candidate ended up excelling at a Strategist role, and what we can all learn from that.

I also explore the ACES model, which overs:

Ultimately I'd like you to think about the advantages that you could get by tapping into pools of talent that your competition may be ignoring.
