Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the Small Business Success Talk podcast! If you haven't gotten the chance to listen to the previous podcast titled "Strategy Is...", I highly suggest that you do because I go over all things STRATEGY.

Setting that strategic foundation comes first (core messaging, brand identity, etc.) and second comes setting expectations and strategic execution. There are lots of moving parts to this and I go over ALL of it in this episode so grab your pen and paper and be sure to take some notes.

It's another great episode chock full of great information so I'm happy that you're here and I can't wait to hear how strategy and execution has worked for YOUR business!

Welcome back to the Small Business Success Talk podcast! Today, your very own host, talks all about strategy and the difference between having a plan and having a STRATEGIC plan. Yes, there's definitely a difference!

What got Christy started in the world of business strategy was the fact that most businesses work so hard on their strategy only to just put it on a shelf and forget about it. Meanwhile, it's not being implemented whatsoever for your business and that's a problem.

You'll want to listen to this entire episode because Christy shares some ideas on when and where to work on your strategy, how to define yourself, brand identity and SO MANY other useful topics!

 For this episode of Small Business Success Talk, we're joined by Sylvia Leach Lovely. She describes herself as "a lawyer by training, a CEO by experience, and a media mogul...in my dreams" with multiple businesses that she juggles. Her passion though lies in stories which she included in one of the books she wrote.

In 2008, she explained that she had a pretty big, life-changing event that happened to her which lead her to writing her book "Dodging Coconuts, How to Survive the Storm and Rebuild Your Life." Not to toot my own horn, but this was truly a great episode and I'm so thankful for Sylvia being my guest. We happen to think that she's quite the fascinating woman with quite a bit that she's accomplished so be sure to listen to the full episode!

BIO: I am a retired former CEO of 30 years. I am also a lawyer which is taking up some of my time today on behalf of those who lack access to our court systems. My passion lies in helping people better understand their lives through acknowledging and understanding their stories -- especially in order to heal from setbacks and trauma. My signature workshop is "Writing the Stories of Your Life." In addition, I am pivoting to working with my book, published in 2016, "Dodging Coconuts, How to Survive the Storm and Rebuild Your Life." The fact is, in 2008 during the Great Recession, I lost my beloved CEO job, experienced a medical catastrophe and wrote my book. With that cathartic experience of writing my story, I turned away from it until recently. As a result of the serendipity of speaking to "Women Leading Kentucky" about my experience, I revived my thinking of how my stories helped me recover from my catastrophic experience. No matter the trauma or grief we may experience, we must learn that we cannot change the story no matter how hard we try. All we can do is learn lessons and begin a new story while realizing that we can only partially dictate the outcome. We are unique individuals and eventually we must view our stories as part of a life well-lived.

Joining us for this episode of the Small Business Success Talk podcast is Phil Van Hooser and his daughter-in-law, Alyson Van Hooser.

Phil got his start in corporate management and quickly realized that he had a talent for training people and speaking. He had the opportunity to do a fundraising event where he would show those attending the fundamentals of interviewing and then 9 months later, he ended up starting his own business. 

Fast forward several years later and Phil asked around the family dinner table who wanted to take over his business so he could eventually retire. Alyson spoke up and said she would gladly take it over. Everything fell into place and here they are, both making an impact in people's lives. We're excited to see where the future takes them!

In this episode, I discuss what being professional looks like today. If you're a person out in the workforce, you already know that 'being professional' has definitely evolved and looks much different than it did many years ago.

What being professional looked like years ago, does not look the same today. It could mean having tattoos, dressing a little differently, being a full-time parent, having piercings, being emotional. These are just some things that would have NEVER been thought of as being professional years ago which is why I love this campaign from LinkedIn.

Now, with all of that being said, there are some of aspects of being professional that have NOT changed and have remained the same. A great example of that has come from my own personal experience that I mention in this episode and that's dealing with unprofessional managers.

What does professional look like to YOU and how have you personally seen it evolve?"
