and more guided by a search
for meaning or doing important
work rather than by simply
earning a paycheck with good
benefits.”

Utilize Buffer to BLAST ## Messaging and encourage people to attend my breakouts!
TIE THIS EXPLAINATION TO THE 5 BASIC NEEDS IDEAS FROM PREVIOUS SLIDE
A – 1998 TRUST
B – 2000 ML
C – 2001 BANK
D – 2004 INDEPENDENT
E – 2008-9 CAREER CHANGE (RESET = FOUND THE BALANCE)
Discussion about Business Cycles
When People Purchase Stocks – Get Idea, Watch for Validation, Finally Convinced (Purchase), Stock Drops, Panic (Sell) = REPEAT
Hiring / Firing Cycles – Work comes in, Wait to see if sustainable (Overtime), Continues to Grow (Hire), “This Time It’s Different” (Can’t get ‘em in the door fast enough for managers), Plateaus (Overage on headcount, drop OT-maintain staffing- still no emphasis on trxfr knowledge), Drops Off (Nervous people), Early Retirement for Knowledge-Rich Employees
Personally Best success in Financial Business for ME was Between C and D WHY? Developed a PLAN, IMPLEMENTED PLAN, SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED PLAN – Rug Jerked out from Under me.
D to E – SHOULD have been relatively good time, however, my head wasn’t in it. Unclear plan. Lack of Discipline. Too MUCH freedom.
E = Career Change as well, so has gone my story. My life. My satisfaction. My financial status. My Family.
Sequence animations to illustrate point
Work with this slide and refine….for HANDOUTS to HR Houston, eliminate bullet points & revise clever slide title
Add Workshop Component to this topic: WHAT are your organizations doing RIGHT NOW to encourage this?
24/7/365 -> flex scheduling
PROJECT/OUTCOME based vs “punching clock”
If I can do it in 6 hours and someone else takes 8, it’s not my fault.
However, you COULD show that is allows me to “level up” by spending that next 2 hours on something else….if I CHOOSE (CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE)
Shared Accountability
Delegate SMARTER – you can still be responsible/accountable for an outcome, but have a team member “own” that metric – get to know it intimately, how it ticks and learn how it fits and why it matters.
Encourage Innovation (shift focus to “someone” vs “I”)
I went straight commission with lure of “you can do whatever you want if you do”…
Allow to implement different approach IF they can lay out a business case for it and they can demonstrate how it is in alignment with strategic objectives (Often leaders don’t allow because they won’t clearly set expecations)
Want more freedom? Set up a “marketing pool” – If production based or hit various targets, assign x% into a Pool of $$ to be spent ON the business at the discretion of the employee
Use to travel to away conferences, WSJ, client appreciation, etc…
Encourage Presentations
Many younger/new people in orgs have had limited, if any, public speaking experience
You want people who can look customers, suppliers, vendors, managers IN THE EYE (even over the phone)
Toastmasters is CHEAP – This is a minimum
Allow / assign / encourage volunteers (or voluntell SAFELY if no offer on own to prep presentations to others
rundown of books, speeches, articles, current events affecting business, etc…
