Katie Labedz: Learning to Lean

You may be someone who has set a goal.  Most people have. Businesses set them all the time. Achieving those goals usually boils down to systems.  In business or outside of it, systems are the things that, over and over, bring consistent success.  Success is success, right?  Unfortunately, sometimes success comes with a price tag that is too large to pay. Sometimes our systems make our success more like failures. Wouldn’t it be nice to know someone who could help us make sure that does not happen?

Introducing Katie Labedz: Katie says that most of our systems have a lot of waste in them. Her story is the story so often found in entrepreneurs. She had talent and skills and was working in the corporate world when a mentor saw in her something special.  The mentor mentioned the lean business model and how it aligned with her vision of how businesses could improve themselves.

Like the proverbial duck to water, Katie took to the challenge and is now a certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt a Project Management Pro and certified instructor and facilitator in guiding businesses to improve their processes and embark an creating a culture of continuous improvement so that when business succeed it is at a price that they can afford.

In today’s show, Katie talks about her story and about how these models, so effective and popular in the manufacturing world, can be and need to be used in non-manufacturing businesses, especially because, in such, their systems are less clear and road blocks, bottlenecks and waste are harder to identify and correct.

Listen to her story and just like us, here at Stampede, you will come to know, like, and trust her.

Allison Roberts & Dr Denis: Fastercise

Imagine yourself as a new mother.  You have a job you are heading back to.  You have kids and a family. You have church and community.  You also have extra weight.  What you don’t have is a lot of time.  You “weigh” your priorities and losing that extra weight looks like it is going to be the lowest priority of all things you have to get done. Right?

Introducing Allison Roberts and her father, Dr. Denis Wilson: They are the co-founders of Fastercise.  As a new mother, Allison found herself in the situation mentioned above. She considered resigning herself to having to carry the extra weight for a while. Instead, however, she turned to her father for help.  Her father, a world-renowned lecturer, training doctors all over the world on how to treat their patients with a special time-release technology for a variety of illnesses, had some ideas for her. Dr. Denis spent over 30 years helping folks solve challenging metabolic illnesses and had discovered that the body has systems built in that can guide almost anybody into better health. He wrote a book called, “The Power of Fastercise” that used signaling exercises to rapidly improve health.

Allison used her father’s system--all while working and having a family--and within 8 months had not only lost the weight but was able to rank in a body-building competition.  They and others began to prove over and over again just how powerful, easy and enlightening it is when we know how the body operates and can “signal” or communicate with it to get to the health we need and desire.  All this, using a handy mobile app that guides us in exercises that take about 5 minutes a day!!

Paul Meijer: The White Tablecloth

Have you ever found a really great mechanic shop? You know, the one where you send your whole family too because you trust them so much? Today’s guest has a mind for systems. As a mechanic he could see how all the automobiles systems worked together. This talent, it turns out, can scale.  So seeing how systems work, is a powerful gift, not just in a car, but in the shop itself and the people who come there and work there. And not just in a mechanic shop but on a car lot and in a dealership and in systems of dealerships.  If you can see how it all works together you can find the areas to improve.

Introducing Paul Meijer: From mechanic to shop foreman, service manager to store manager, Paul learned the business from the ground up. He embraced customer service as his keystone to success early on. With “no job is complete until the customer is completely satisfied” as his mantra, Paul led his Midas shop to the top 15% nationally.

Paul continued to grow his career in service and then in sales, where he held high rankings as a sales professional and has led Internet sales departments.

Neil Thompson: Teach The Geek

Picture yourself in the following situation.  You have spent years studying and learning a subject and are working on projects in your chosen field of study.  You are asked to give a presentation on it. After preparing yourself and materials you stand to before peers, before your leaders and others.  They are all gathered to hear what you have to say.  With a deep breath, you start your presentation. You expected that they would be interested in what you had to say.  You expected that they would be responding in any way except for how they were actually responding--with glazed yes, playing games on phones, with silent endurance until you were done.  You ask yourself, what is going on?

Introducing Neil Thompson: He is an engineer, author, and founder of Teach the Geek. For several years, he worked as a product development engineer in the medical device industry. He had to give monthly presentations as part of his job. After one too many failed presentations, he knew he had to improve.

He took everything he learned in becoming better as a public speaker and created a course, Teach the Geek to Speak. He now helps engineers and scientists like himself turn their technical expertise into effective presentations.
