    Build a Thriving Business that Makes a Positive Impact

    Build a Thriving Business that Makes a Positive Impact

    Your business plan is a tool to know what not to do. This dynamic tool allows you to include core information about how you do your work, your company's impact, and what opportunities are the right ones to pursue. 
    Finding winfinity (win-win-win) is possible by shifting the lens you look through. Whether internal growth and development of people and processes or aggressively tackling initiatives to grow market share, knowing yourself is foundational. When you have a strong level of self-awareness, you are prepared to discern what is really going on to serve your team and achieve your biggest goals.
    In this program, you will learn how to use your business plan dynamically, the difficulty (and necessity) of saying no to good things, and recognize that all change takes time. Change is deliberate, and your ability to be intentional and guide your company forward is what will result in success. 
    Jess Dewell talks with Bessi Graham, Founder at Benefit Capital, about the importance of strategic planning and why it is BOLD to strive for success and to make a positive impact.

    Harnessing The Power Of Modern Sales and Marketing

    Harnessing The Power Of Modern Sales and Marketing

    All you need are the right words that reach the right people at the right time. Easy, right? Yes, when you can provide the time for discovery and development when creating marketing messages and stories. Your customers are savvy, and to claim a spot in their crowded brain space requires diligence to maintain objectivity. 
     
    It is time to acknowledge you may be working in a silo, telling your existing and potential customers — instead of showing them — how your product helps save time and money and improve their overall business. The indirect work of demonstration allows the discovery and challenge of assumptions and the thoughtful observation of emotion (or lack thereof) when people are presented with your brand.
     
    This program emphasizes the significance of taking the time to identify your unique qualities in today's competitive market. You will learn the language necessary to inspire action and gain practical insights from our expert panelists on cultivating curiosity and effectively managing your time. 
     
    Hosted by Jess Dewell, the discussion features Mark Carpenter, Chief Storyteller, and John Gumas, CEO of Gumas, who will explain why it is BOLD to adjust sales and marketing strategies to align with evolving customer behaviors.

    How To Make Informed Decisions with Imperfect Information

    How To Make Informed Decisions with Imperfect Information

    Be OK with making mistakes. Decision-making inherently has a risk element, and knowing how you make decisions with imperfect information is a reminder that you are human — and also helps with a better understanding of the cascading results of making a choice.
     
    Whether it’s time-sensitive, a risk of looming stagnation, or more information is necessary — consider what you know: the decision will create something. Hopefully, forward movement. Use decision-making to move forward, not to plan into the far-distant future (that’s what your business strategy is for). Change from making decisions still has a stigma, so the more your company normalizes “change,” the more you can use decisions to iterate forward.
     
    In this program, you will hear about how you get in your own way; how to notice reality to reset and refocus; and that it is OK to make mistakes. The conversation calls out that life and work are messy, and more gets done when embracing that fact. The discussion highlights that making decisions has risks and that it is courageous to understand your risk tolerance. 
     
    Jess Dewell invites Maria Morkuian, President of MSM Global Consulting, LLC, and Stephanie Judd, Founder and Managing Partner of Wolf & Heron, to explore the topic of making decisions without complete information. They discuss the importance of being bold and proactive in decision-making, even in situations where information is missing.

    Trust Your Purpose Through Times of Change

    Trust Your Purpose Through Times of Change

    What you are drawn to is a clue to how you can add value to the world around you. Regardless of scale, each purposeful action and intention creates an opportunity for you or another to keep moving an idea forward. Wherever your curiosity takes you and the problems you choose to work on, be intentional. 
    It takes commitment to keep chipping away at an idea that results in an intuitive, easy, and top-of-mind-to-use product that improves our lives.
    The idea, the research, reshaping the idea, having a working proof of concept, and refining each moving part can take a long time. Even so, the work results at each step have a significant impact, too.
    In a conversation with Jess Dewell, Sufian Chowdhury, the CEO and Co-Founder of Kinetik, discusses how his passion for problem-solving has led to the development of a healthcare solution that aims to improve communities and the world.
