    We are changing up our podcast a bit to discuss: What is a business consultant? When should I hire one? What does a good one look like?

We talk about when you might need one, why you would want one, and when one might not be good for you. Sponsored by: IA Business Advisors & The I in Team Series

  • Using Positive Influence for Constructive Criticism

    Using Positive Influence for Constructive Criticism
    Oct 4 2019
    This week, we are going to tackle how to determine the difference between criticism and constructive criticism, how to deliver criticism in a way that it is constructive and what that looks like, how to deal with getting constructive criticism, and how we may go about dissolving the stigmas surrounding giving and receiving constructive criticism. We are continuing our team series where we discuss what it's like to be a positive and negative team member. You may have heard us discuss criticism a few times in previous podcasts, so this week we are taking a dive into the topic. Sponsored by: The I in Team Series & IA Business Advisors

  • Positive & Negative Team Influence

    Positive & Negative Team Influence
    Sep 27 2019
    What does being a good team member look like? What about being a bad team member? This week, Brian and Mary discuss the attributes of good and bad team members, starting from the top. Typically, people learn from their leaders how to act appropriately in a team setting. All team members are peers, but it is the leader that helps to show the team what behaviors are considered appropriate. However, not all leaders are good team members. Find out how to be a good team member, communicate with team members that can improve, and look out for negative team qualities that can spread and take down a business.

  • Influence in Auto-Pilot - From the Vault

    Influence in Auto-Pilot - From the Vault
    Sep 6 2019
    We bring you another episode from The Vault this week as Brian finishes up some of his worldly travels we focus on the subconscious mode (commonly known as: auto-pilot). Subconscious mode can sneak up on us at any time: at work, in the car, while running errands, really at any time. This is a time when we allow our minds to wander while we carry out our tasks mindlessly. In our professional life, this can lead to us making mistakes, missing steps, forgetting certain tasks, and more. It can disrupt our workflow, as well as the workflow of our team.
