ReEnergize Podcast

Yes, things are scary right now amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is up to us as leaders to lead with optimism. In this short, bonus episode of ReEnergize, Steve answers the most pressing questions from businesses about Coronavirus, surviving a market plunge, and wading through paralyzing fear. Tune in now to hear Steve explain how to keep resilience, stay authentic and how to prepare for the future during the Coronavirus pandemic.  

Self-awareness is key when it comes to your financial well-being. In this episode of ReEnergize, Steve has the pleasure of talking investment strategy with Certified Financial Planner, Jim Lunney. Jim is known for founding The Wealth Strategies Group, a comprehensive wealth counseling and independent investment advisory company. Jim explains how his vast experience in the investment industry helped him create The Seven Signs of a Changing Economy and how this tool made him more financially self-aware. The Seven Steps are a system that help Jim assess the market; which in turn, create a process that turns into a strategy that can be followed through towards success. 

If you bend a stick and it snaps back into place, that’s what we call Resilience. In episode 32 of ReEnergize, Steve and Solar Construction Executive of Arraycon, Jeff Calabro, address how to foster a mindset of resilience. Jeff describes the rocky path he took in his adolescence and how it impacted the way he acts as an executive today. An executive, according to Jeff, is a person that can take on a new role and execute within the role. If you’re not satisfied with your role, you have the power of choice. You find a new job at a different company or you can find a new role within your company. Either way, “to be an executive, you must get out of the box and step into a new role,” says Jeff. 

Authenticity of Leadership creates a culture that promotes employee authenticity. In this episode of ReEnergize, Steve examines the power of authentic leadership with Human Resources Manager, Chris Loncar of Timberline Landscaping in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Loncar discloses what it was like transforming the Human Resources role from a nasty stigma to an employee advocate. Leaders should not only be heavily invested in the strategy but also the culture. A leader who can be themselves gives the opportunity to employees to be themselves. According to Loncar, “If you give people opportunities to thrive, they’ll astound you.”

Steve picks the brain of Chief Strategy Officer, Stephanie Early, on maintaining company culture and employee report while implementing new technologies in a company. Early is the CSO of Timberline Landscaping in Colorado Springs, Colorado and has had a working business relationship with Steve for several years. Both commend Timberline’s leadership styles and their ability to grow with strong strategies. Companies like Timberline use strategies such as implementing new technologies, increasing employee inputs and continuing to have conversations about future change.
