A CEO’s journey fostering agility  - PODCAST

6/27/2022

 
Picture
What might have happened for so many companies around the world if they had been prepared, prior to the pandemic, to successfully face the inevitable: that some unforeseeable shift in the world would become a sudden and significant threat or opportunity for their business?

In this Gravitas Impact Premium Coaches webinar, Patrick Ginn, Founder and CEO of the Ginn Group in Vancouver, Washington, shares his experience building a resilient, aligned and agile company that was able to more easily and successfully navigate the pandemic.

“Nothing could prepare us,” Ginn shared, “But we had already identified through coaching and in our quarterly and annual planning process that at some point, given our industry, a change would happen.”

Ginn worked with a business coach to create a versatile business model and share it with employees to foster a mindset of alignment throughout the company, enabling them to move quickly in response to change.

Listen to hear how the culture of “embracing change” became a Core Value for Ginn Group and for Patrick himself!

BOOK OF THE MONTH: The Goal

6/10/2022

 
Picture
Little did I know I was embarking on a tricky mental adventure when I started reading The Goal, by the late Eli Goldratt. I was glad to find out the book was written as a business fable, which made it easier to understand than a technical style.

The Goal walks us through the journey of a manager who is told he has only three months to turn his plant around, all while his marriage is on the brink, in part, due to overwork.

​The manager figures out, with his team, what the ultimate goal of his plant is, how to make that goal relevant to their people and how to optimize the plant to achieve the goal.


The story walks the reader through a mind shift from seeing a plant as a collection of parts to be individually optimized, towards seeing it as a whole system that requires careful coordination of the parts.

Based on the same underlying principles as Lean manufacturing, the approach addresses the root causes of inefficiency by identifying and resolving bottle-necks between these different parts of the plant to improve the productivity of the whole.


The manager also applies this approach to a company-wide scenario to determine the most important things to improve. This is the same way we have our clients prioritize changes and improvements in their business. 

The story also weaves in other useful best practices, such as tackling company-wide issues as a united management team and using outside expertise, lessons learned discussions, transparency and vulnerability.

Book: 408 pages; 11 hour 45 minute audio book.

How to Resonate With Your Ideal Customer

6/3/2022

 
Picture
When it comes to reaching new customers, most companies miss the mark by overcomplicating their messaging, making it either too generic or overly technical. And it’s a costly mistake. 

In this Gravitas Impact Premium Coaches podcast, David Mann, keynote speaker, trainer, professional actor/director/storyteller and founder of the Simple Message, describes how to tell the right story, communicate value and engage your ideal customer’s emotions.

Too often, businesses lose opportunities and profits by leading with their product or service, who they are or what’s unique about them.

​Focusing instead on simple messaging that speaks to solving the customer's problem, and executing that message across marketing channels that engage your ideal customers, leads to increased brand engagement, trust and loyalty. And above all it will differentiate your brand in a way that truly resonates.
