    Ep01 Finding Your Footing

    Our first week is all about finding your footing in a tricky environment! This week’s episodes talk about respecting your cash flow, protecting your confidence, and staying mindful without getting stuck. Carl Honoré is the parent of the “Slow” movements. His online course, The School of Good Slow, provides a wealth of valuable material for getting grounded and moving forward. If you need a little inspiration this week, here’s a video of residents of Siena singing together from their apartments in lockdown.

    Ep02 Protect your Cash Flow

    Cash flow is always critical to businesses of every size -- but there are particular challenges when the world is in lockdown and the global economy is struggling under the broadest pandemic in a generation. In this episode, Torill Wilhelmsen and Sonia Simone talk about concrete steps you can take to protect your business's cash flow. We also talk about certain predatory types to avoid, and keeping perspective around any mistakes you may have made. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep03 Mindful Speed

    Today we're going to talk about Mindful Speed. Because two things happen when things get weird. We either race in a crazy direction, or we freeze in place. Those are both very natural, but neither is helpful.  Today we'll share a few thoughts on how you can keep from getting stuck for too long -- without going into panic mode. We’ll touch upon both speed during the course of the workday and the speed at which you run your business. We highly recommend Carl Honoré's books In Praise of Slow and The Slow Fix as supplements to this episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep04 Protecting your Confidence

    Today we’re going to talk about protecting your confidence. Business coach Dan Sullivan has often said that protecting our confidence is our first job as business owners — and we’ve found that when we're not sure which direction to go in, making a decision on that basis can give some useful clarity. Today we’ll talk about some techniques for doing that, and of course some specific recommendations for things you can actually do, and words of encouragement as well. Strategies covered include: Regulating your inputsAvoiding fixed mindsetsAvoiding toxic positivity...and revisiting your businesses value proposition Hosted on Acast.
