How can you improve your business's productivity? All businesses face this on-going question, but sometimes simple solutions provide the best results. In the following segment, you will hear about four tips that you can start implementing today and improve productivity for your business, employees, and in your own workflow.

After years of consulting and business experience, Chris Ronzio wrote: “100 Hacks to Improve your Business,” covering topics to improve your lifestyle, personal productivity, marketing, sales, finance, and much more. This segment includes tips #21-30.

In this excerpt from the Organize Chaos Consulting Show, Chris consults Erick Prospero, the owner of an E-Learning video production company, as he faces the challenge of hiring for a skill you don’t know how to do yourself. They begin to discuss by assessing his company's marketing funnel and the hindrances preventing him from making this new hire.

Take time for reflection and appreciation. Whether it’s in your own personal life or within your business, taking those moments to show appreciation can be beneficial. Not only for your own mental health, but it can also help expand and grow your business’s relationships. Chris shares his thoughts on this topic and specific examples of how appreciation can pay dividends.

In this episode, I chat with Becky Karsh, head of people development at Uber in the US and Canada, about how to navigate massive cultural shifts in the workplace. Becky's navigated several during her time at Uber. This episode was taken as a clip from our Training With Empathy event that we hosted back with empathy wines in April of 2020. And what I love about this is that Becky just gives great advice. She's candidly been leading a team through a lot of shifts from the entrance into COVID and the massive workforce change to the CEO changeover that happened a few years back. So she has some great perspective, and I think you'll learn a lot.
