The Paint and Paper Podcast

just in case you want to know, here is the cost to paint a room in yourhome!

Today I am sharing the summary of a team meeting we had with two of our guys that work in the field.

Do they like working here?Why do they like working for D'franco Painting & Wallpaper?Do they know the process?Are they sure of their job description?

We took the time to debrief some jobs and see the common issues we need to fix; meeting customer expectations, better communication, and using paper to write a list so we don't forget to do things.

In today's podcast, we are talking with Chris Hewitt from Hewitt and Sons, out of Des Moines, IA. Chris is great at listening, hearing what you say, teaching how to execute better, and just the best at bringing out the best in others. He has been to our work location and spent some time with us to interview our employees to see where we have gaps in our business, our culture and the wants and needs of our employees which revealed to us how Employees want to be Heard, Valued and Empowered

In today's podcast we share our review of February as a business in some of the frustrations we have had - or I have. So looking at what we do and how, it was shown thanks to our Business coach Michael Murray from Nolan Consulting on what we need to look at better- ourselves.

I mentioned another coaching consultant we use, who is also one of my best friends, Chris Hewitt, from Hewitt and Sons Consulting.

Love to hear any feedback you have, ideas etc.

Have a great day and God bless.

Well here is a podcast, long overdue, where we are going to refocus how we think about our business- Rethinking goals from growth mindset

The first thing is to not focus on goals but growth. We need to spend the time on energy to think more about the people we serve and employ vs. the numbers we want to reach. Don't get me wrong we still have to earn a certain dollar amount, but if we turn the why we do things, and how we do it, I believe the money will follow.

So we are now hiring promoting our core values and mission statements.

Developing our employees, in 425 homes/business and that we can be found guilty of our core values this year would be a great year indeed.
