ife of an entrepreneur is tough and we are often hit by a roadblock.
Like it or not, building your own empire from scratch takes every
bit of your heart, soul, blood, and sweat. When it comes to business
and implementation, no amount of knowledge is ever enough. While you
have your own set of expertise, as an entrepreneur you need to stay-up-
to-date of your environment. From what’s new, what’s not to what will
happen in the coming day, you need to be well versed?
I’ve wanted to be there not just by virtue of being the editor but because
I had something to say something that might join us for a moment in
that miraculous way words can. I am really encouraged by the feedback
received from the readers and the institutions which are in association
with our magazine. Many thanks to my team for the work undertaken.

redit card processing has grown in popularity,
andmanyindustryexpertsseegreatopportunity
in the payment market. Jeff Brodsly, President
and CEO of Chosen Payments, was one such leader
who was passionate about running a firm and making
a lot of money. His mantra, quest, and only ambition
became achieving success in Chosen Payments.
Birth of Entrepreneurship
Jeffwasneverastudiousstudent,whichresultedinhim
receiving ordinary grades. He was smart, though, and
knew that if he put out genuine effort into something,
he would be successful.
“When I started high school, I became involved in a
BusinessAcademywithinthehighschool,”heexplains.
This is where my dream of being an entrepreneur
started to take shape. Within the academy, I rose to the
position of leader and was instrumental in enlisting
the help of other students. Within the academy, I
became a creative driving force, and it gave me great
pleasure to see others succeed. This is a quality I’ve
kept throughout my life.”
He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and
a master’s degree in sociology after high school.
He even began a real estate company, but when the
market crashed, he turned his emphasis to credit card
processing, which was steadily getting traction, and
Chosen Payments was born.
It was not, however, an easy journey. “Setbacks are a
part of life,” he continues. The speed with which you
recover from a setback is determined by the type of
the setback and your ability to recover rapidly. While
I’ve had several setbacks since beginning Chosen
Payments, two of the most memorable involve creating
my first credit card processing company with a few
partners.”
Vision and Services
Chosen Payments is a brand that provides specific
vertical businesses with Merchant Services. The crew
is knowledgeable about the various sectors they serve,

Merchants, Associations And ISV’s, Facilitating Software
Integration With Proven Technology To Boost Client’s

17. and as a result, they are more than just a credit card
processor; they also cater to certain business niches.
“We learn to speak the jargon, walk the walk, and talk
thetalk,”Jeffadds.Ihirepeoplewhoworkinthesectors
we serve so that we can become experts at serving
them and understand their specific requirements.”
We offer credit card processing, check guarantee
services, merchant loans, branded gift and loyalty
card programmes, internet shopping cart integration,
and payment processing that can be incorporated into
current apps or developed from scratch. We’re a one-
stop shop for being paid for goods and services for
retailers.
Every company’s growth will be fueled by the use of
cutting-edge technology. Experts at the company
have created apps that notify retailers when money
is deposited into their accounts. A business owner
can be on the beach and receive notifications on how
much money has been deposited in his bank account,
which made the payments, and much more. We must
keep up with the industries we serve and how they
envisage the use of technology because we live in a
technological environment.
Core Values
However, acing the A-game requires a mix of culture
and creativity. There are a slew of other critical metrics
to keep track of. Transparency, honesty, hard work, and
loyalty are all emphasised in our work environment.
Our executive team sets an example for others to
follow. We’re working on a number of projects to
develop the next generation of payments technology,
and we’ve developed much important collaboration to
ensure that our clients have access to the most cutting-
edge technology available.
Their team uses Agile Methodologies to ensure on-
time delivery and proper fulfilment of all requirements
when building corporate products. Before releasing
the final product, they perform extensive research
and have a thorough understanding of the merchants’
needs. In addition, testing is at the heart of their
development to ensure that Independent Software
Vendors, merchants, and others have a positive user
experience. Each solution is created using no specific
programming language or technique.
Each project and team is free to employ whichever
technology they like as long as it is scalable and capable
of completing the task. This is due to the fact that
each project and team are distinct and have different
needs. We have QA and peer review mechanisms in
place to assure the integrity of our goods, as well as
change control methods to prevent any nasty bugs
from making it to market.
Being CEO & President
He believes in conceptualising future business
development goals as the company’s CEO and
President. “My work entails hiring and nurturing a
core team of executives who share my vision and can
not only carry out my vision but also contribute their
own vision to their department or area,” he says. This
includes sales, operations, marketing, technology, and
finance directors. My key obligation is to set the vision
and ensure that every department and team gets the
greatest tools possible to fulfil their tasks and achieve
my goals.”
Jeff has taken his firm to new heights by starting it
from the ground up with his heart and soul. The
most significant distinction is being named to First
Data’s President’s Club year after year since 2012.
The inclusion of First Data, the world’s largest credit
card processor, is the highest honour available and is
based on year-over-year growth. Chosen Payments
was ranked the 800th fastest growing privately held
company in America by Inc. Magazine in 2017.
About Future Ventures
Jeff has a strong desire to take his company to new
heights. He has already calculated his future goals, as
he is an excellent planner.
“We recently launched a new sales office in Grand
Haven, Michigan,” he explains. Because we have sales
offices all around the country, we can participate in
and attend conferences without having to drive vast
distances. We prefer to meet with our merchants in
person, thus dividing the country into areas allows
us to do so more frequently. In terms of worldwide
expansion, we expanded into Canada last year and
will continue to look at other countries in the future,
but for now, we’re concentrating on gaining merchants
in the United States.”

About the Company
In2014,Xeevabeganasabusinessservicesandenterprise
software firm in Detroit, delivering procurement
software to the automotive and manufacturing
industries.
Xeeva tackles the issues of indirect spend management
with a team of purchasing, data science, and engineering
professionals who are always looking for new ways
to improve the procurement process. Customers are
also assisted by a staff of implementation and training
professionals who ensure a happy and successful
experience with us.As a result, Xeeva is a preferred
partner of leading corporations around the world,
assisting them in transforming their procurement
procedures into profitable procurement operations.
Impediments while on the journey
Nina stepped into the company during the time of
the pandemic. She states, “Not being able to develop
relationships with the entire team face-to-face has been
very unfortunate. Additionally, every day, we have to
make difficult choices in order to put our employees
and their families health and safety first.”
However, these challenges prepared her and her team
to be ready for the unexpected. No matter what comes
their way, they have to adapt and offer the best services.
She adds, “It has also taught us not to take anything for
granted. Something as simple as going out to lunch with
a coworker seems unimaginable now, so we must never
take the simple pleasures for granted.”
Transforming the things with Xeeva
■ Xeeva understands the importance of data in buying
decisions. That’s why, in order to help you get the
most out of it, we classify, categorise, and enhance
your data using the industry’s first AI-powered data
solution. As a result, you’ll have more precise and
granular analytics, better sourcing decisions, and a
more straightforward procurement process.
■ Xeeva is a pioneer in indirect spend management
software that streamlines the procurement process.
The process begins with the analysis of indirect
spend data, followed by the identification of cost-
cutting opportunities. With a compliance and
policy engine, as well as catalogue updates in our
Procure-to-Pay platform, the sourcing platform
assists organisations in realising savings through
our Supplier Marketplace. Finally, our Procure-to-
Pay platform provides a consumer-like shopping

■ Xeeva discovered that indirect items account for
25% of a company’s total spending. The C-suite,
on the other hand, has little visibility into what is
being purchased, from which vendors, and for what
price. They began developing their data-driven,
AI-powered XVA Platform in response to this
revelation, with the goal of assisting mid-market to
large enterprise companies in gaining visibility into
their indirect spend, creating sourcing events, and
purchasing items with a consumer-like experience
and a focus on compliance.
Being the CEO & President
Wearing the hat of the CEO and President of the
company, Nina builds on the company’s momentum
with the development of additional initiatives to
maximize client experiences, expand its offerings, and
accelerate growth.
Nina Vellayan, President and CEO of Xeeva, is guiding
the company with clever and innovative solutions in
the idea of assisting others in growing their businesses
through good management. Nina worked with a range
of organisations before joining Xeeva, including private,
public, small, and large businesses, as well as enterprise
SaaS. She was able to broaden her skill set and diversify
her expertise as a result of these invaluable encounters.
“I was an investor and acting CEO of Stewardship
Technology,” she continues. I’ve also worked as a top
executive and investor in banking, payments, and
software technology companies, including as the
CEO of FrontStream Payments, the COO of Official
Payments, and a divisional President at Sallie Mae.”
Nina was drawn to Xeeva by its creative approach in
2020. She saw the company and its solutions as having a
lot of potential. As a result, she got right in to assist the
company in continuing to develop and thrive. This was
the start of her adventure with Xeeva.
Transparency and openness, she feels, allow new ideas
to flow freely throughout the team. “Innovation occurs
because our staff feel empowered and aren’t scared to
share their ideas and opinions,” she says, emphasising
the point. We also make certain that our employees

Future Ventures of the Company
Our aim and vision are to help businesses save more
money by leveraging data-driven spend management
and artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover insights, save
money, and reduce indirect spending.
We’ll keep doing our best to help our clients by
anticipating their future needs, identifying new cost-
cutting opportunities, and making better business
decisions based on their expenditure data. They intend
to improve their modelling over the next few years, add
to their 40 million SKUs, and continue to expand the
features and functions of their products.

our country: Italy and the rest of the world. By
inventing innovative solutions, we identified the need
to give more creative and distinctive experiences for
your events in Italy. We’ve been in the international
destination management business for over ten years,
and our expertise is defined by our ability to develop,
in a safe environment, and provide an amazing
experience for our clients.
We plan every detail of your activities by coming up
with new and innovative ideas to ensure you get the
most out of your trip to Italy and other international
places. Upon introduction, we give you our eyes and
ears, and before we create, we want to hear what you
have to say so that we can work together to reach your
goals and expectations, which will also be ours.
Overcoming the impediment
“I was taught that the worst times are the ones that
make us genuinely grasp who we are and what we
want,” says the CEO. With difficult times, I have a
wonderful feeling since I know they will always teach
me something.”
Stefano always focuses on the tactics that will help
him cross over and turn things around, whether he is
facing obstacles in his work or personal life.
Bringingtransformationintotheindustry
Mutika is the world’s first and only Italian experience
management company, with offices in Milan, Venice,
Rome, Sicily, and the United States.
They operate across the country, from north to south,
with an Experience Design team physically stationed
in key cities. They stay focused on discovering fresh
experiences for their clients to customise.
“We have our clients and their travel experiences
in mind,” Stefano continues. That is why, whether
it is a business trip or a holiday, all of our
company’s projects are designed to maximise their
time, keeping in mind that we aim to make each
experience unique and memorable.”

21. “Despite our worldwide education and business, we
also have our country at heart, which always reminds
us that the beauty is here and the best hospitality
speaks our language,” he continues. As a result, our
job right now is to continue to invest in research,
education, and social sustainability while adhering to
an ethical integrity code of conduct to promote and
promote these principles even outside of the United
States.”
Being the CEO of the company
With the vision to become a creative and unique
experience Company within the travel industry, either
for leisure, business, or corporate, Stefano is steering
his company in the right direction. He expresses that
whoever reaches out to Mutika must get the best from
travel experiences with a personal touch that nobody
else can receive.
He firmly believes that quality of service plays a crucial
role in tipping the scales on anyones’ side. He aims at
delivering the best services through his company by
focusing on every nook and corner of all the aspects.
I am leading the company with the support of our
leadership team, taking care of its growth, innovation,
creativity, and the team, the most important resource
to success. During my regular days, most of my time is
invested in brainstorming with my team for either our
client program reviews or for company strategies and
projects. I also spend a lot of time on our relationship
with partners, as I consider them crucial for our
success for the benefits of our clients and our daily
teamwork. He gets a lot of satisfaction when clients
emotionally express their level of satisfaction in
working with Mutika. Over time Stefano has acquired
a lot of rewards that represent essential steps of his life.
Achieving greater heights
Stefano believes that there should be a balance
between professional and personal life to succeed on
both fronts.
On the professional front, he motivates everyone to
take onus for their responsibilities and work with full
dedication. He expresses that with work, fun is also
essential.
Rewarding is the key. We like to work hard but also
to play hard. With a great team, we get together to
relax, have fun, and enjoy the results achieved. When
a client is happy, and they show it, I make sure the
team feels it and that we celebrate, so it’s a team reward
that we all need to enjoy. Champagne in these cases
plays a key role.
On the personal front, he manages to take some time
off to blow the steam. He feels that taking off some
time is vital to re-fill the energy in the mind and body
to take the next challenges. He adds, “If I am off, I am
off, and I will try to enjoy every single minute of it,
but if I am at work, then I will be fully concentrated
on our company or team priorities and define them
straight away.”
Future ventures
Everything around us is constantly changing; being
aware of that means focusing on always maintaining a
strong energy and will to construct and create, whether
big or small, a better future. They are planning to grow
in other markets within Europe and also to invest
in different areas within their industry, such as, for
example, opening a small luxury boutique hotel with
a lifestyle Restaurant and Bar, Spa, and more.
On a personal level, he states, “My goal is to create
a foundation to support an important Italian hospital
for kids where I, myself, had an experience at the age
of 11 years old, and I am forever thankful for their
efforts.” He aims to have the best-in-class team, full
of energy, well paid for their performances, and a
company able to generate essential profits that will
allow him to support a social project/foundation.

22. 1. Correspondence
Great relational qualities are one of the most important
initiative credits if you’re in an administrative capacity
or position. All we have as humans is the ability to use
language to communicate in a coordinated manner.
Although there are nonverbal indications, having the
ability to speak openly and compassionately with others is
the foundation of successful authority. Great leaders pay
attention to the entire group of their followers, employees,
and each individual they are leading. Great leaders, and
even more spectacular leaders, aren’t born; they’re bred.
“Converse with someone about themselves and they’ll
tune in for quite a while,” says Dale Carnegie in How to
Win Friends and Influence People, which is one of my
favourite quotes. This is absolutely correct. The more you
visibly connect with others and show genuine interest in
their lives, the more others will be drawn to you and chat
about their lives with you. They’ll become energised, feel
heard, and begin to recognise, respect, and trust you.
When you show no attention, insist on an eye-to-eye
connection, and say that you don’t often think about
personal experiences that others relate, they will shut
down, stop sharing as much, and become hesitant about
their advantages.
One of the most important aspects of a good pioneer
is their ability to communicate. If you want your fans
to have complete faith in you, you must be an excellent
communicator.
2. Honesty
“Honestymeans,inanycase,makingthebestoptionwhen
Characteristics and Skills to Look
For in an Outstanding Leader
22 APRIL 2021 SwiftNLift

23. no one is looking.” There can be no genuine achievement
withouthonesty.Whenyouneedtrustworthinessyourself,
you can’t expect your followers to be forthright. Genuine
and exceptional leaders succeed when they keep their
word, follow their guiding principle, show others how to
do it, and finish what they start. Any remaining authority
attributes are built on the foundation of honesty.
3. Responsibility
Extraordinary Leaders must follow Arnold Glasow’s
advice when it comes to responsibility: “A worthy pioneer
takes minimum too much the blame and minimum not
as much as a lot of the glory.”
Leaders, both good and great, are responsible for the
group’s outcomes, whether fortunate or unlucky. They
hold themselves and their representatives accountable for
their actions, causing the group to be aware of specific
expectations.
They acknowledge a job well done and, when necessary,
take responsibility for a mistake. Building trust with their
group is probably the fastest technique for Leaders to
turn out to be acceptable Leaders by being responsible
and demonstrating others how to achieve it. Being
accountable for the actions and practises of those around
you is essential for developing administration qualities
akin to responsibility.
4. Sympathy
Genuinely great leaders are responsive enough to
understand their supporters’ motivations, expectations,
aspirations, and challenges, allowing them to form a deep
personal bond with them.
5. Increment imagination
Understanding where people are coming from helps to
create a more human environment where colleagues are
more productive and leaders thrive.
One of the most wonderful authority credits you can
have is developing the initiative character of passionate
knowledge. Few leaders understand the difference
between being “nice” and having passionate insight. Only
a powerful leader understands the need of empathising
with the people they lead. Perhaps they’re dealing
with a personal conflict at home, medical issues, or
transportation issues. Genuine leaders are empathetic
with their followers and have a deep understanding of
their motivations.
6. Quietude
When it comes to developing authority traits, it’s all too
easy to become enamoured with a new title or rank rather
than putting in the time and effort required to become
a good pioneer in peace. In any event, remarkable
authority styles place a greater emphasis on critical
thinking and group dynamics than on self-promotion. A
good pioneer will never be compelling if they are more
concerned with their own well-being than the well-being
of their community. Being unassuming and open to
their colleagues will make a pioneer substantially more
relatable and compelling.
7. Energy
Leaders motivate their followers based on their
demonstrated conduct, life perspective, and mentality in
any given situation, not on their objectives or results.
It’s often said that employees and direct reports mirror
their bosses’ behaviour, and effective leaders must
continually demonstrate how it’s done while reflecting
how they want their team to act.
It everything boils down to creativity. Indeed, even
the most pleasant working environments can become
unpleasant at times; what matters is how leaders respond
to this pressure with a positive attitude rather than
becoming irritated and blaming others. Inspiration isn’t
one of those administrative qualities that should be
neglected or dismissed. Keeping a good attitude in the
face of adversity or loss is a sign of solidarity. It’s a sign
that even if things aren’t going as planned, you can still
keep your head straight and lead your family.
8. Assignment
Leaders are shifting from doing to driving, which is a
difficult transition for some. Many new leaders are used
to doing everything themselves and struggle to let others
handle their responsibilities on their own.

24. Christy’s London
About the Company
Craft is important in Christys’ London. Miller
Christys’ dedication for excellent quality and skillful
craftsmanship has been passed down through
generations of hat manufacturers since its foundation
in 1773. preserving Christys’ crimson and gold logo as
a mark of fine, traditionally handmade hats. Christys
was and continues to be a forward-thinking business,
and though processes have largely remained intact
and legacy is vital, it is Christys’ ability to transcend
trends and societal boundaries that keeps its hats in
high demand.
Thanks to Steve and his team’s efforts, they have
established themselves as a global power. With a focus
on helping the less fortunate, Steve recently aided the
community by leading the company in supporting
thousands of underprivileged people in Ecuador by
establishing the Christy’s London foundation, which
builds schools, roads, and homes for rural villagers who
support the hat-making craft.
About the journey
The brand has been established since 1773, myself and
my team are custodians of this wonderful institution,
and it is my job to pass it on to the future leaders of the
company in a better position than when I inherited it.
He expanded his education base in the business domain
from New College Swindon and Oxford University-
Keble College. He started his professional career as
Trainee Dispensing Optician in Haine and Smith. Then
he went up to grab different titles and handle various
roles, which allowed him to expand his skill set. He
gained valuable experience throughout his career in
various leadership positions, moving into the role of
CEO Christy’s London in 2017.
Bringing the change in the industry
Christy’s London is one of the most well-known
companies in the world, with a history dating back over
200 years. Christy’s London is well known for producing
over 70% of its products in the United Kingdom, from
its plant in Oxfordshire, using traditional strategies and
machinery dating back over 200 years. “This definitely
sets us apart from our competition,” Steve says. “Our
history and tradition are authentic, and we would never
compromise the quality of our products by cutting
corners.” We stand by these key traits as a company, and
they create a firm platform on which to build.”
Even though the brand adheres to the highest quality
and standards, the team continues to keep up with
current, futuristic, and emerging fashion. Steve and
his team have expanded their horizons and entered
new channels that have benefited and inspired them.
They also collaborate with a number of the world’s

25. most notable designers and businesses, giving Christy’s
London a unique viewpoint.
The craft is important at Christy’s London. Our love
for immaculate quality and skillful craftsmanship has
been passed down through the generations, preserving
Christy’s red and gold insignia as a symbol synonymous
with beautiful traditionally produced hats since its
foundation in 1773. Christy’s London is a one-of-a-kind
brand that honours its historic roots and practises while
also keeping up with the latest fashion trends. They still
want to grow their company and work with additional
people in the fashion industry.
Being the CEO of the company
Steve has a lot on his plate being the CEO of such a
large corporation, and he needs to juggle a lot of things
for the company. Every single day presents him with a
new opportunity as well as a new task to do something
significant.
Steve grew raised in a sporting family as a former
national swimming champion and semi-professional
player. He had the desire to succeed since he was a child.
“This foundation taught me how to be a part of a team
and how to achieve big things when a team operates at
its best when each member of the team supports one
another and has the same goal,” he says.
He is a self-motivated individual who enjoys taking on
new challenges with a positive outlook. “I am decisive,
supportive, and I always strive to work with a grin on my
face,” he says. I am not a believer in erecting barriers. If
you can see the broader picture, there is always a route
forward. These, I feel, are crucial qualities for someone
in a leadership position to possess.” He feels that sitting
back and resting on one’s laurels breeds complacency,
and that setting that example as a leader is not a good
idea.
He has extensive corporate experience in the industry,
allowing him to gain first-hand knowledge of what it’s
like to be on the front lines of a firm. As a result, he
can truly comprehend what is necessary throughout the
industry, as well as how to comprehend and link it to his

About the company
Carcare’s main goal is to assist in the automation
of business decisions in order to protect as well
as streamline the process for easy automobile
sales, outstanding remarketing, and trading. This
approach is also useful for determining what needs
to be done with an automobile after it gets on their
lot. The finest feature is that the system can handle
all processes, including wholesale, export, and
increased ad spend, among others. Every car will
choose the optimal course to increase its chances of
making more money in the most efficient manner.
Some people have a passion for programming but
are unable to identify it until they take the wrong
course and then change their minds. Lars Eriksson,
the CEO of CarCare, has always been captivated by
computer programming. He started his journey in
the programming world after dropping out of his
economics course in Stockholm. It was there that
helearnedaboutdigitalmarketingandautomation.
The Entrepreneurial Journey
Lars has always aspired to design a system that is basic
and straightforward. He worked till the wee hours of
the morning to make this crucial point. He appreciated
his work, though, and wished to make a significant
contribution so that people around the world might be
free of unneeded labour. “Even if the system consists
of one huge green button, it is still a threshold when
you try to deploy it in an organisation,” he says. We
had to rethink how to incorporate Carcare into
our automated process in a way that was
seamless with the technologies that the
crew was already using.”
He possesses three key attributes
that enable him to continue on this
incredible route. To begin, he enlists
the assistance of a variety of experts
who are more knowledgeable in
the industry. Second, he
is more quick-witted

business. This practise of making quick decisions aids
him in achieving his objectives quickly. Third, he goes
the extra mile to show the team that he gets his hands
dirty and can inspire in the most effective way.
CarCare Services and Future Vision
The main target group includes all automotive
dealers who can easily use Carcare that is linked to
its DMS and testing software so that it can identify
all the bottlenecks as well as inefficient cars at a very
beginning stage.
In case this process holds a high automation rate and
goes faster, the environment will become happier
and the business with the end customer will improve
as well. The best part is that all the cars will become
highly efficient rather than being parked for 96% of
their entire lifetime. Also, all dealers will also feel that
a more transparent purchase is taking place between
the customer and client with accurate pricing. It will
also lead to high profitability among the parties.
Being the CEO
Being the CEO, Lars works very closely with the entire
Carcare team. He is passionate about innovating
something new so that all the employees can feel that
theycreatesomethingmarvellousforallthecustomers.
Currently, they are a small company however, great
ambition, as well as goals, can make them attain all
the heights they plan to achieve.
Because there are so many targets to complete, the
entire crew has yet to fully appreciate the wonderful
adventure. Carcare still has a bright future ahead of it
at the start of the journey. Currently, the company is
having a good time on the cruise.
He is a great believer in sharing the experience with
others. “To be honest, I haven’t looked that far ahead,”
he says. It’s crucial to me that I enjoy my work so that
I don’t wake up one day and realise how much time
has passed. If I can’t have fun at work and work on
inspirational projects, I need to find a new job.”
Maintaining a work-life balance is key to being happy
when managing a startup. While there are numerous
recommendations on the internet, he was given
the advice to schedule spare time in the calendar.
Unexpected occurrences, on the other hand, are tough
to manage because they occur at inconvenient times,
and it is made worse when nothing can be rescheduled.

28. CliniShift
Introduction
CliniShift was founded in 2015 by Aimée Madden with
the goal of addressing healthcare organ-isations’ rising
reliance on high-cost agency labour. Aimée knows
firsthand the difficulties of filling last-minute shifts
through phone calls and instant message groups as a
former hospital CEO. Her commitment to address this
problem led to the development of the CliniShift technol-
ogy platform. CliniShift now supports workforce teams
and managers in a variety of healthcare organisations
in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and North America.
Aimée’s objective is to create CliniShift the top technology
for addressing the difficulties that healthcare executives
face around the world.
For a long time, healthcare has lacked technology;
however, times are changing. The healthcare industry
is embracing new and advanced technology in order to
better serve pa-tients’ demands. Healthcare is made up
of many departments that must work together to guar-
antee that the patient is served with the highest care
and comfort. Whether it’s treatment, housekeeping, or
administration, technology can help every department
run smoothly and effi-ciently. Aimée Madden, CEO of
CliniShift, embarked on an unbelievable journey with the
goal of making a difference in the world of healthcare.
The team
Our team is enthusiastic about what they do and the
challenges they solve for employees and managers in the
healthcare industry in a variety of markets. The CliniShift
technology is a cus-tom solution that has been conceived
and developed by a highly qualified and devoted staff
at our Dublin headquarters. CliniShift’s team members
each bring a unique experience and exper-tise to the
table, resulting in a software platform that provides
a comprehensive suite of work-force solutions to the
healthcare business.
The Services
CliniShift is an e-resourcing software suite that includes
an information and communication platform that allows
healthcare management to contact their own internal
workers to fill non-scheduled shifts on short notice.
It includes both the CliniShift App and the CliniShift
Manager, which are both free to download for clinical
and non-clinical workers. Staff may easily register their
availability and accept shifts using the CliniShift App, and
the CliniShift Manager sends out requests to appropriate
candidates using your organization’s own cohort of
employees. You will be able to canvass personnel in a

at this time, due to CliniShift’s unique implementation
technique and product adoption approach.
About the CEO
Aimée majored in history and politics at university, then
went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in commerce and a
master’s degree in international business. Her life before
to CliniShift was a whirlwind. From a professional aspect,
she frequently portrays herself as peaking at an early
age. She became the CEO of a hospital at the age of 27,
which was a true baptism of fire for her, however she
relished the excitement and adrenaline of not knowing
what obstacles she would encounter next, as she was a
born problem solver. She subsequently moved on to be
the Managing Director of a Dutch Healthcare IT firm that
was attempting to internationalise, thus her early career
was far from stress-free; yet, Aimée has no regrets.
Managing personal and professional life is a skill that
Aimée has had to learn over time, and it is something
that must constantly be worked on. She really believes in
a work-life balance be-cause without that, your company
can potentially suffer. Aimée really enjoys furthering her
knowledge and partaking in continuous professional
education. “I am starting the second year of my PhD
studies after I was awarded a scholarship. I travel a lot for
work, so I like to keep fit by going to the gym and playing
tennis as I find it’s good to clear my mind and refocus for
the next day. I also have a personal and professional life
coach. This is something that I incorpo-rated into my life
about three years ago and I have to say it’s probably one of
the best decisions I ever made and something that I don’t
think I would ever give up.” Says, Aimee.
The Future of a Successful Company
CliniShift’s sustained organic growth, strategic
partnerships,andthecontinuedreleaseofnewtechnology
products will allow them to continue to outpace many
of their competitors in cus-tomer expansion, financial
growth and advanced technology leadership in 2019.
These are ex-citing times for CliniShift Internationally.
It’s no longer enough to merely provide a comprehensive
Management System that captures workforce-level data
in today’s digital health technology world. That’s the
bottom line. The abil-ity to provide a control tower view
of a hospital’s entire end-to-end workforce ecosystem,
as well as to leverage data, machine learning, and AI to
provide predictive analytics that drives real-time business
decision-making and gives the C-Suite and management
a competitive and operational advantage, is the real
differentiator.
CliniShift is on its way to a bright future, thanks to the
astute leadership of a visionary. Aimée has excelled
in her industry, exemplifying the real attributes of a
successful leader with her at-titude of enthusiasm and
determination. Her accomplishments are undeniable,
and she is an example to all of us who want to make a
difference..

30. Becauseyou’vebecomeatrailblazerinyourorganisation,
that doesn’t mean the floor won’t close in on you. That is
the issue that you, as a pioneer, have chosen to address.
On the off chance that you recognise it, it is, in fact, your
mission. There are eleven challenges that all pioneers
must face at some point, but with the right decorum
and skill, you can stay on track and prove to be the best.
Change
The manner in which you have acknowledged a
powerful position is a shift in and of itself, but daily life
is full with opportunity for change. Some of them are
items you chose, while others are the result of pure luck.
As a pioneer, you must avoid becoming unbalanced as
a result of advancement. Because the two things are
inevitable, you either need to notice it coming and plan
ahead of time, or you need to be ready to cope with it
on the fly.
Troublesome People
There will always be troublemakers in your group, your
organisation, and your working life. As a pioneer, your
goal is to deal with them in a beautiful and intelligent
manner. Try not to go too close to them. Make an effort
not to drag out your willingness to talk to them. Most
importantly, don’t let them get the best of you.
Pressing factor
There is a lot of pressing information in the workplace.
Over time, your ability to recognise and give a piece of
that urgent component will pay off. You can’t operate at
full throttle all of the time, so taking some time to relax
and find equilibrium will be critical to your success as
a pioneer.
Releasing Someone
It will eventually be your obligation as a pioneer to either
advise that someone leave your organisation or to move
someone on yourself. Never do something rashly or out
of fury. Genuine leadership is defined by your ability
to calmly implement this authoritative change for the
betterment of the organisation.
What Challenges Leaders
Do Face & How Do They Deal?
30 APRIL 2021 SwiftNLift

31. Conveying Bad News
Items will run out of stock, events will not go as planned,
and your goals will slip—all of this is necessary for
business, but it will be your obligation to inform your
board or supervisors. You’ll be able to track down the
next steps if you have the ability to deliver bad news
without dramatisation and with clarity. Bad things
happen; it’s how you disclose them that will determine
your best line of action.
Remaining Motivated
As a pioneer, you may occasionally find your enthusiasm
for the endeavour or organisation wilt out. It might
happen to anyone, but the best thing you can do is
gather all of the good things around you and refocus.
Unless you know how to solve it, don’t waste your
time harping on why something isn’t functioning. As
far as you can tell, you won’t always be the major team
promoter, but your group expects you to be, so get out
there and share the excitement you do have; at the very
least, when you’re not on your game.
Culture Issues
Working for a non-profit doesn’t mean you don’t
have problems with your lifestyle. You might work
in an office that doesn’t handle its workload well, has
correspondence troubles, prattles, or has subversive
coworkers. Whatever it is, as the pioneer, you must
make arrangements with it.
It’s not easy to change social habits in a group, but
you get to decide the pace. If you don’t want people
to talk to you, don’t say anything. If you want groups
to work better together, you need to be able to work
well with them. You are setting the tone for how your
organization’s way of life operates.
Being Respected and Being Liked
You aren’t going to be adored all of the time. Someone
will kill you the instant you put your hand up to lead
something. That’s just how life is. Try not to be swayed
by it and instead focus on being intelligent and focused
in your interactions. Regard will come, and if you’re
lucky, you might even be liked.
Looking after Focus
It’s only normal to become preoccupied! Everyone is
in need of something, selling something, or seeking to
getyoutocomevisitthem.Thisiscriticalfortolerating
the administration’s role. It is your obligation to keep
focused on the final game and not be distracted by
the enticing articles. You have a team to lead, an
item to provide, or a project to complete—plan ahead,
keep your head down, and keep your focus on the
task at hand.
Correspondence Problems
Someone will undoubtedly respond to an email that
they should not have, a coworker may misunderstand
the cutoff time, or someone will just fail to get the
warning in its entirety. As a pioneer, your biggest source
of stress is likely to be communication challenges. It
will benefit the entire organisation if you practise being
clear and concise.
Dealing with a Dud
Occasionally, a task will just not work or the event will
be a failure. Make an effort not to be stressed. It might
happen to anyone at any time. What makes a difference
is how you manage it. Avoid leading your group down
a rabbit hole of self-indulgence or blame. Simply pick
yourself up and figure out how to make the next thing
fantastic.
Administration isn’t just about the tough stuff; it’s also
a big part of doing the job. Every time you have to deal
with a difficult situation, you are practising how to
improve on the assumption that it will happen again.
The exercises you learn on dealing with the good and
bad will help you develop initiative.

Founder & CEO
Founder & CEO
About the company
Our goal is to make money transfers completely
borderless. People can move money easily and
rapidly between their home country and their place
of residency, as if they were making a domestic
cash transfer. The world is becoming increasingly
smaller. As more people live, work, or study in
foreign countries, we must provide them with
more convenient options to handle their financial
flows.
International travellers find it quite difficult to get
currency exchanged. Many countries only accept
US dollars (USD), and it can be a costly hassle to
exchange the remaining local currency back into
USD. So even the most experienced traveller, for
instance, international workers or International
students and migrants, struggle with money
exchange and transfer. Seeing this problem first
hand, Denson Xu, Founder and CEO of BANEKS,
set out to develop a smart and secure solution for
currency exchange that is the answer to traveller’s
currency exchange woes.
A Market for Remittances ripe for
Disruption
Moneytransferhastraditionallybeendominatedby
banks and money transfer offices (MTOs) (such as
West Union). Denson, on the other hand, looked to
his experience in the telecommunications industry
for inspiration. “At one point, international long-
distance calling was extremely expensive and
dominated by a few corporations,” he adds. “Then
Skype entered the market, and more and more
technological businesses began changing the status
quo, and eventually international long-distance
calling became free.” In the next years, I believe the
remittance sector will be one of the next industries
to be disrupted by FinTechs like BANEKS.”
BANEKS offers its users a multi-currency digital
wallet that enables them to easily transfer funds
between their home country and their place of
residence. BANEKS allows users in North America
to send and receive money directly to and from
their Alipay and WeChat accounts, similar to
how Alipay and WeChat do in China. It’s a form
of transfer that isn’t available through traditional
financial institutions.

33. An easier technique to control the flow of money
across international borders
Rather of relying on the SWIFT system or local
payment rails, the BANEKS team’s money transfer
business model is powered by people. BANEKS, as
a peer-to-peer transaction facility provider, offers a
money-transfer experience like to Uber, in which
one set of clients, known as Fetta, provides liquidity
as well as quick service to other consumers. Fetta
functions similarly to a mobile ATM. Customers
can deposit and withdraw funds whenever they
want. The BANEKS platform will be increasingly
efficient as the number of customers grows.
The company’s early success was due to its
concentration on niche markets.
BANEKS has made it easy for consumers to buy
products in their home nation and even send and
receive money to and from friends and family in
their home nation.
Being the CEO
It has not been simple for Denson to leave his
corporate job and reinvent his life by becoming an
entrepreneur. However, it has been a joyful journey.
“I am really proud that I have successfully built our
venture from zero to one and that I have acquired
the trust of over 20K consumers in just over a year,”
he says. I realised I was doing something significant
and significant for the community whenever I
received support and thanks from my customers.
All of my efforts will be rewarded.”
Denson believes that as the CEO of a startup, he is
morethanjusttheCEO.He’sinchargeofeverything.
“I am not only in charge of the company’s vision
and strategy, but I also have to get my hands filthy.
I work in product development, design, marketing,
operations, finance, and business development,
to mention a few areas. But every great comment
from a consumer and every accomplishment
inspires my team and me to keep going.”
BANEKS’ future has no bounds.
Denson is convinced that the future of financial
transactions will be global. While his initial
focus will be on the Chinese community, he
plans to gradually expand BANEKS’ wings to
include Indian, Philippine, Mexican, Russian,
Vietnamese, and other populations with the
highest concentration of international students,
employees, and migrants. “Our goal is to become
a global company,” he says. We started in Canada,
but our goal is to grow to the United States, the
United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and other
OECD countries where international students,
employees, and migrants flock.”

About the company
Rising Coaches was founded in 2010 as a way for
coaches to network, form true relationships, and
learn from professionals in their field. “When we
start making a difference in people’s lives and getting
great feedback, that’s when I become excited,” he says.
I thrive on momentum, and we’ve been lucky in that
we’ve been able to develop quite a bit of it in 2020. In
2021, we intend to continue to expand our community
andsearchfirmsothatwecanhaveasignificantimpact
on individual coaches and the coaching profession.”
Coaching is a booming industry, and now there are a
slew of online coaches banding together to share their
years of knowledge and experience via their courses.
RisingCoaches’Co-FounderandCEO,AdamGordon,
had a gift for connecting people to their goals. He had
always had an entrepreneurial attitude, but it wasn’t
until he was 14 years old that he started serious about
becoming a collegiate basketball coach. He realised it
was time to start his own firm after 17 years in the
teaching industry.
Services and Vision
Rising Coaches is a membership-based community
for coaches that connects, develops, and supports its
members’ career progress. This is accomplished through
clinics, conferences, and events, as well as a digital
platform for networking, learning, and sharing ideas.
We are a diverse group of basketball coaches. Rising
Coaches welcomes men and women at all levels of
basketball, from children through the NBA and WNBA.
Our membership includes everyone from entry-level
employees to head coaches and general managers.
The year 2019 saw the start of full-time operations
for Rising Coaches. A membership platform, a media
corporation, and a search firm are all present. The media
company offers a unique opportunity for all coaches and
athletes to create material for their peers, with over 1,200
members on the membership platform. Both of these are
enjoyable endeavours that have aided several coaches in
presenting their brands in the greatest possible light.

eloquent speaking, and listening abilities. “Leadership
is about service,” he says, “and in order to serve, you
must first listen to understand where the difficulties
and possibilities lie.” He believes he possesses all of the
necessary abilities naturally, however he admits that he is
still improvising on some things on a regular basis.
Rising Coaches is a powerful community that was
developed to fill a vacuum in the profession, rather than
a sales firm. All persons who have shared their success
pathways through their organisation make up the entire
organisation. “There aren’t many resources available to
coaches when it comes to figuring out how to navigate
the profession,” he says. When it comes to Xs and Os,
there is a lot to choose from, but when it comes to tools
that can help you succeed in this extremely difficult field,
there isn’t much.”
Future Projects
With Rising Coaches, Adam has a lot to achieve. Many
coaches came online as a result of Pandemic, with many
zoom meetings, podcasts, and coaching groups to assist
and give back to the coaching industry. However, it
forces the Rising Coaches team to look for new ways to
stay ahead of the game. “Our objective is to continue to
have an impact on the coaching profession,” he says. We’d
like to someday expand beyond basketball and have a
direct impact on athletes’ daily life. I believe we are only
beginning to scratch the surface of what Rising Coaches
can be.”

CEO
About the company
Prior Authorizations are a time-consuming
administrative process for practically everyone
involved in the care process. For health plans and
pharmaceutical benefit managers, Banjo Health
created a prior authorization decision assistance tool.
We use artificial intelligence and machine learning
to customise our platform to each payer’s specific
prior authorization criteria, and we integrate with the
prescriber’s electronic health records to draw directly
from the prescriber’s notes to drive accurate decisions
while reducing the administrative burden on payer and
prescriber staff.
Rising above the impediments
Saar deftly navigated all of the stumbling blocks. “It was
a lot of fumbling and bumbling around with a lot of
blunders at the beginning of my career,” he says, “but all
of them were fantastic learning opportunities.”
He believes that the most successful firms are laser-
focused on what they are doing rather than getting
sidetracked and attempting to be all things to all people.
“We spent a lot of time in our early days trying to find
any method to suit our solution across a number of
healthcare applications, but we eventually returned
back to our original thesis, which is AI-powered
decision for Prior Authorization,” he continues. We
have made tremendous progress and continue to
observe explosive growth as a result of refining our
emphasis. We’re quite excited because now that we’ve
said “no” to more things, we can finally say “yes” to the
one item that would truly improve the entire healthcare
experience for all parties involved.”
Bringing the change
Saar Mahna, the Founder and CEO of Banjo Health,
is leading the way for his company by combining the
power of technology with the healthcare industry to
enable patients receive quality care in a timely and cost-
effective manner.
We assist your clinical team in making prior
authorization decisions more quickly and accurately,
resulting in better outcomes for your patients due
to a faster time to therapy. Payers consider Prior
Authorizations (PAs) as tools to ensure appropriate
use of medications and medical services while also

37. managing healthcare expenditures. At Banjo Health, we
strive to improve the patient experience. We can reduce
the expense, time, and administrative burden that PAs
impose on all parties participating in the process by
understanding that they will not go away.
Technology is critical in bringing about fresh
transformation. Banjo Health’s team is working to push
payer and provider technology to improve outcomes
and deliver value-based savings across the sector.
We keep a close watch on industry developments to
stay ahead of the competition. As an organisation,
we are always observing and listening. We also have a
number of relationships in which we are able to learn
about events before they occur. As a result, we’re able
to keep ahead of the curve, and we’re also looking at
primary source material more often than secondary
source material.
Life as CEO and Founder
Saar prefers to play the field offensively rather than
defensively when wearing the CEO hat at Banjo Health.
“A lot of people think the CEO is the quarterback,
but in my opinion, my job is to do the blocking and
tackling so that my squad can get down the field,” he
says. Eventually, I hope that my role will move to that of
a coach on the sidelines, and we can begin to create the
team, but for now, I feel like I’m playing offensive line.”
As a self-motivated individual, he maintains himself
energised in order to motivate the team to achieve
their full potential and give the greatest outcomes
possible. He feels that a company can try new things if
it has a good team. “If you want to go fast, go alone,” he
says, quoting a renowned African saying. Go together
if you want to go far.” Every Friday, the team has an
open discussion in order to foster a healthy working
relationship. As a result, everyone can share anything
about their lives with whom they feel a little close,
allowing for the formation of a strong team network.
Future ventures
Prior Authorization is a very active and painful process
for patients, doctors, and payers in today’s society.
Banjo Health wants to turn it into a passive process that
runs in the background while still allowing all parties
to achieve their objectives: providers can provide the
best level of care to their patients in a timely manner,
and payers can ensure that their members are receiving
care based on the most up-to-date care guidelines and
within their benefit design.
We’d like to go beyond payers and begin working on
prescriber process as well. That is something we are
looking forward to. We are starting to observe the
rise of various private insurances on a global scale,
which means that Prior Authorization will become
more common in other countries. However, we do not
consider ourselves to be merely a PA firm. We want to

communicating verifiable business achievements,
effective authority entails a slew of qualities, methods,
and skills. In any situation, assuming all else is equal, one
characteristic emerges as a general in heads.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is one of the most important aspects of
enthusiastic knowledge, a concept coined by analyst
Michael Beldoch and popularised by Daniel Goleman
that refers to a person’s ability to detect and manage
their own feelings as well as differentiate and influence
the feelings of others. Creating awareness as a pioneer
is frequently also the first phase in creating— which has
shown to be particularly important in administration.
Developing mindfulness as a pioneer is frequently the
first step towards developing joyful insight.

feelings, as well as excellent situational mindfulness, can
be a valuable tool while leading a group.” As a result,
mindfulnesstrainingnotonlyhelpspioneersbecomemore

As a pioneer, cultivating awareness will strengthen

that foresightful pioneers have provided them with
fundamental skills for advancement.
“We’re focused on becoming exceptional because we’re

about others frequently in order to better the world,”
says the team. “We perceive this fundamental ethical
prerequisite for lowliness that draws us in and encourages
us to invest in ourselves as well as others and their chances
to grow.”

to grow. Whether it’s mentioning 360-degree feedback
from coworkers on a regular basis or investing money
in a professional development programme, conscious
pioneers understand the value of continuous learning
and development. Anyway, despite the fact that they are
open to criticism, they are constantly asking themselves,
“What could I improve?”
Mindful pioneers are continually hoping to
improve
Anotherwaythatchiefsmighttrytobecomemoreattentive
is to make a conscious attempt to forgive. Caldwell argues
that “shrewd pioneers are unusually capable of excusing.”
“They excuse themselves because they recognise that we
do not live in such a perfect world on a regular basis. They
understand that no one is perfect.”
Authoritative Benefits of Self-mindful
Leadership
Pioneers gain the trust of their peers — and increase their
validity—bybecomingmoreconscious,andsoidentifying
their qualities, flaws, and hidden predispositions.
Furthermore, a mindfulness-based culture promotes
learning and development (L&D) by elevating the value
of continuous growth and improvement. According to
Razzetti, “When people are conscious, they can put their
pressures on the table, and no one gets hurt as a result
of our efforts to improve. In this vein, we have a culture
of continuous improvement, and we don’t take things
literally.”
L&D professionals should encourage pioneers to use
360-degree feedback, regular registration with coworkers,
and self-reflection to help people become more conscious.
To be honest, David Gevorkyan (area chief of the Los
Angeles County Economic Development Corporation)
credits self-reflection as critical in assisting him in
acquiring mindfulness as a pioneer in a meeting with
the University of Southern California’s Sol Price School
of Public Policy: “You will delve deeply into your inward
world and subliminal psyche by using the self-reflection
technique. You’ll be able to better judge who you are as
a person and how you communicate in the environment
you’ve created.”
Taking A Stab At More
Mindful pioneers aim for more than a single
accomplishment. They must put their skills and energy
to good use in order to approve change on a large scale.
To have a long-term impact, however, pioneers should
first use their self-appreciation attention to objectively
identify areas where they need to improve.
We must embrace, appreciate, and consider that clarity
about what is and isn’t factual as an asset to make our lives
more remarkable, and to make the world more prominent
— which, once again, is our entire mission.
At its core, mindfulness provides pioneers with more
than just another tool for advancement. It helps them
remember why they needed to be pioneers in the first
place. It enables them to discover and embody the impact
they need to have, not only on their coworkers — or
even on their associations — but on the entire globe. In
addition, that is a pioneer worth following.
