    Aligning your Systems with your Brand with Brandon Dempsey

    This week we are joined by Brandon Dempsey, Author of Shut Up and Go, and Co-founder of St. Louis marketing company, goBRANDgo!, whose mission is to Empowergize People and Organizations with the innovation, imagination, and inspiration to see higher and be better. Systemization around branding and operations is a big missing link in many organizations. The disconnect occurs when Marketing sets an expectation and there are no standard operating procedures systematized throughout the journey aligning the experience with the expectation. Are you a Brand Generalist or a Specialist? “Generalists get talked to, and specialists get paid”. Systemization of the brand will create cohesion and connects customers with what the company “Specializes” in. Customers are willing to pay to solve their problems. The Systems Attribute within the 7 Attributes of Agile Growth® IP framework is a key differentiator for Gravitas Impact Premium Coaches. Many mid-market companies, and coaching organizations don’t focus on Systems, and Systems are the key to scaling efficiently and profitably.

    The Vital Nature of Having a Compelling, Simple Message with David Mann

    This week we are joined by David Mann, keynote speaker, trainer, professional actor/director/storyteller and founder of the Simple Message. Through his tenure in theater, David learned the art of connecting with an audience. He is on the adjunct faculty of Loyola School of Law in Chicago and the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. David offers insight into the costly mistake of generic and/or overly technical messaging. As a storyteller, he recommends exploring what differentiates them, and use uthentic, simple language to engage customers. The customer should be the main character of their story, and you should be there to guide them in their journey, and aid in their success. Discover what familiar simple language you can use to help them in their initial journey, rather than use messaging which generally focuses only at the end of their “buyers journey”. David’s core purpose, his heart and soul, has always been with language expression. He encourages CEO'S to not be afraid of the ups and downs in their career and personal life. Life is not always about growth. Sometimes retreat has to happen to grow bigger with the next wave.  David believes a prospective customer should know “What you do” and “Why you do it” at every stage.

    This week, we are joined by Nancy MacKay, CEO of MacKay CEO Forums, a high impact and low time-intensive peer group for over 1200 CEOs, Executives, and business owners worldwide.  Nancy shares how she helps CEOS, executives, and business owners solve their toughest problems and maximize their best opportunities through peer learning and support. She is an author of several publications. Nancy shares her BIG IDEA she refers to as the "MacKay mastery model" for inspired leadership. She learned through covid that CEOs need a roadmap to inspire themselves every day. This roadmap is applicable well beyond COVID, in an ongoing manner for high performing leaders. For her, it was heartbreaking to see what was happening to CEOs, so during quarantine, she decided to write this strategy guide so that business leaders would have a roadmap and the idea of surrounding themselves with game-changers. The self-guide is available on her website https://mackayceoforums.com/.  Nancy’s personal vision for MacKay CEO forums is to populate the world with inspiring leaders. Nancy shares her and her husband Rob's journey of founding MacKay CEO forums in 2005, and some insights on the journey to success, which included some bumps, bruises and celebrations! Nancy wants the listeners to know, do not suffer in silence. She has encountered all too many leaders who felt they could not find a path into the future, and in doing so, created their own prisons of misery. There are plenty of people out there that can help you clarify your purpose, what your passion is, what it is that will give you pure joy to jump out of bed every day.Looking for a 7 Attributes Certified Coach for your business?

    Creating an A-Player Culture to Win the War on Talent with Jerry Fons

    This week, we are joined by 7 Attributes Certified Coach, Jerry Fons, CEO of Executive Power Coaching and author of Gravitas Impact Monograph Building an A Player Culture. Jerry joins us from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to talk about how he helps CEOS get results and live their Purpose through business leadership. With over 20 years of experience as a coach to CEO and C-Suite individuals within an organization, Jerry shares his BIG IDEA that CEOs live in a world of frustration daily, not understanding how to deal with the drama that happens inside their organization. In our most recent “Voice of the CEO” survey, the feelings of frustration, stress and being overwhelmed, were all too common in top leaders in growth companies. The root of these often stem from underperforming teams. In our podcast, Jerry addresses these issues head on, while sharing real world stories of success, hope and change. In Part 2, Jerry recaps The Big Idea of the virtue of being a leader, you have to deal with people. The care, development and coaching of the people that surround a CEO, is vital for a high-performance culture that delivers results. Jerry’s Monograph is about understanding  tools and processes that will help create an organization that reduces the amount of drama and raises the level of what we call A-Players in your organization. A-Players are those that are highly connecting to the core values of the company as well as highly productive, results driven individuals. When Jerry entered the coaching business 20 years ago, he began the process of identifying his personal purpose with his coach.  Discovering his purpose did not happen overnight, but once he discovered it, he found that it still fits today Learn how to accelerate growth with a 7 Attributes Certified Coach at www.GravitasImpact.com The post Creating an A-Player Culture to Win the War on Talent with Jerry Fons appeared first on Gravitas Impact.
