Sharing the secrets of successful entrepreneurs and leaders Since 2017
Design Sprints with Jackie Colburn
“One of the biggest pieces of feedback I get after running a Sprint from teams this man it would have taken a 6 months to do this. And so that is the number one selling point to say in a we can spend six months on this and here\'s what that project plan would probably look like and here\'s how many people would be involved, you know with reviews and swoop and poops and people changing their minds and approvals or we can carve out 5 days and work on it and make meaningful progress and then move on to the next thing.”
Building a Winning Team with Thad Levine
“Gone are the days were a manager simply just dictates what is to be done and then sets the rank-and-file to the tasks of the day. I think today to really connect to the to the individuals, you need to not only motivate their minds but also connect to their hearts.”
Selling Change with Liston Witherill
“The big difference with trying to push a major initiative within a company is when you\'re going to other people at the company and you\'re saying I have this great idea. You should get on board with it the stakes for them are if they attach their name to something that\'s a dismal failure. Or their boss thinks is a stupid idea. They could lose their job.”
Things on the Internet with Justin Grammens
“There is no one killer app. And there\'s no one killer connected solution. At the end of the day you\'re going to have connected devices around you and once you start integrating those together and putting together a full story around it. Then I think light bulbs are going to go off.”
