In this episode, host John Laurito talks about creative thinking and execution in business. Now, most companies have SOPs in doing things, but it doesn’t mean that’s the only way to do them.

Today host John Laurito talks about compassionate leadership and how it changes leadership dynamics in an organization with Author, Chairman, and Founder of The Tramuto Foundation and Founder of Health eVillages, Donato Tramuto. Compassionate leadership means building relationships through careful listening to, understanding, empathizing with, and supporting other people, enabling people to feel valued and respected. If applied by leaders in the workplace, all this can increase productivity and performance to their highest potential for the employees.

Donato Tramuto has nearly four decades of business leadership experience and is most notable for his ability to balance transactional and transformational leadership within organizations. He has launched two successful start-ups, successfully led the turnaround of a Public Healthcare Company, and has executed innovative programs leading to sustainable business results through his Compassionate Leadership approach.

He is well-known for his success in discovering his “why” and building transformative business and innovation in healthcare. As profiled in his first book released in 2016, "Life's Bulldozer Moments: How Adversity Can Lead To Success in Life and Business," what drives him cannot often be put into words.

He is known for his deep commitment to creating better, more compassionate leaders. In a world where we are constantly connected, intersected, and divided simultaneously, Donato offers an innovation in professionality: being open about adversity, advertising your growth, and passing on your knowledge to all those who listen.

In February 2020, and after a year of preparation, Donato stepped away from running a Public Company to focus on inspiring the next generation of leaders through his nonprofit ventures and his upcoming book on Compassionate Leadership to be released in March 2022 - The Double Bottom Line. He is inspired by Robert F. Kennedy and is a recipient of the prestigious RFK Ripple of Hope and the RFK Embracing His Legacy Award for his endless dedication to improving the lives of others.

Have you ever gotten a great device that’s just been nothing but convenient and, simply put, just “remarkable”? How about being disappointed not because of the device but because of the service that you received from the company? In today’s episode, host John Laurito shares his recent experience with a company that didn’t put more effort into customer service and what leaders can do to avoid making this mistake. Remember that a company’s overall success doesn’t only depend on the product but also on the service provided.

Special shoutout to my friend from Lincoln Investment, Tamara Indianer, who gave me the idea for this topic.

Show notes:
[1:08] John should be getting a commission for this…
[4:33] When things went south
[5:25] The level of service should grow as the years go by — not stagnant
[7:00] Product and after-sales service should both be great
[7:53] As leaders, take time to inspect the level of service that your team provides

In this episode, host John Laurito talks with speaker, podcaster, author, and entrepreneur Grant Baldwin. He is the creator and CEO of The Speaker Lab, which helps teach speakers how to find and book paid speaking engagements. They talk about how you can overcome your fear of public speaking, how to channel your nervousness into positive energy, the things they do while speaking in front of a crowd, and more. If you seem to enjoy public speaking yet feel too nervous about doing so; this is for you!

Here’s a little something about Grant Baldwin and what he does to make a dent in this world.

After a few years of youth pastoring, I decided to start a speaking career. I worked hard to build my business and get paid to speak, all the while trying to figure things out on my own because there weren’t a ton of great resources out there.

The thing is, I’m just a normal dude. No crazy backstory, no celebrity following. I had a message to share and a dream to make it happen, and ten years and thousands of paid presentations later, I’m happy to say I did.

Today, I still travel and speak, but I spend most of my time working with The Speaker Lab to create resources that I wish I had when I was starting.
