    Praise You featuring Brent Pattison

    The 1999 Dance hit, “Praise You” by Fatboy Slim uses NINE samples, including vocals by Camille Yarbrough from the opening of her song, “Take Yo’ Praise.” It was incredibly successful, reaching #1 in the UK charts and #36 in the US, simply by using building blocks already established by others. Fatboy Slim recognized bits that worked in other compositions, from the Steve Miller Band to Isaac Hayes. He then simply took pieces that already worked and made them his own. Building successful teams requires coaching. But how do you go about doing that? Brent Pattison built his own model based on what he’s seen worked through during his three-decade career in contact center operations. He joins the show to discuss what works, and his tactical book for team leaders, PRAISE. • The Purpose Behind 3P Solutions• The Importance of Coaching in Business• Common Coaching Mistakes• The Role of Documentation• Building Relationships through Notetaking• Creating Alignment in Organizations• Barbeque Recommendations for visitors to Kansas CityConnect with Brent on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarapaton/ Email Brent – brent@3psolutions.ca Praise: The Cornerstone of Coaching to Success for Managers and Supervisors – https://www.amazon.com/Praise-Cornerstone-Coaching-Managers-Supervisors/dp/1068853514/ref=sr_1_1 Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    Greased Lightnin’ featuring Todd Unger

    The 1948 Ford Deluxe that Kenickie worked all summer for was a car in the academic sense – it had 4 wheels and an engine. But with a little imagination, effort, and teamwork, it could become something special – a car so fast it could be compared to greased lightnin’. In the 1978 film adaptation of Grease, this car wouldn’t just get fixed, it would become something magical. The typical model of customer service is well known but when Todd Unger joined the American Medical Association as their CXO, he realized that customer service wasn’t fueling growth. To do that, he’d have to use a little imagination, effort, and teamwork to create a CX department that was special – one that could meet the needs of modern customers who speed through the buying process in just seconds. • The Tornado Funnel: Redefining Customer Journeys• Customer Segmentation: Understanding Your Audience• The Nod: Emotional Insights in Marketing• The Importance of a Smooth Checkout Experience• Reducing Friction in Customer Experience• The Role of Technology in Customer Experience• Empowering Customer Service Teams• The Leadership Role in Customer Experience• Personal Insights and Future AspirationsConnect with Todd on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddunger1/ The 10-Second Customer Journey – https://www.toddunger.com/ Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    Grew Up on the Crime Side featuring Lisa Guzman

    Unless you’re a huge fan, you’ve probably never heard of Prince Rakeem. As a solo artist, despite his enormous talent, he flamed out. But when Robert Diggs, aka Prince Rakeem, aka Bobby Digital, aka the Scientist, aka RZA assembled a team in 1992, it would be the beginning of an empire. The now-iconic C.R.E.A.M. was the second single from Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), released in January 1994. It was RZA who realized that on his own, he would never find the success that Wu-Tang could find as a collective. It was his vision, but he needed help to make it a reality. A vision can only get you so far. This is a difficult lesson for many founders, but an important one. Whether it’s a lack of skills or a lack of bandwidth, or both, there are moments when even the savviest founders need help to scale their business. Lisa Guzman is dedicated to fostering meaningful connections between brands and their customers and she’s got some advice for startups this week on Next in Queue. We discuss: • The Startup Journey: Founders and Their Challenges• Self-Awareness in Founding: Recognizing Strengths and Weaknesses• The DIY Culture: When to Seek Help• Tools and Resources: The Importance of Proper Support• Fractional Leadership: A Smart Solution for Startups• The Financial Perspective: What's in it for Founders?• Cultural Reflections: From New York to New OrleansConnect with Lisa on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-guzman-bb81b653/ Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    27 Years featuring Gina Reilly Coates

    The last hit single by the English ska revival band, The Specials, also known as the Special AKA, came in 1984 just before the band dissolved. Free Nelson Mandela became an anti-apartheid anthem and even reentered the UK Singles Chart in 2013 following the news of Mandela’s death. While the lyrics mention 21 years in captivity, it would still be another 6 years before Mandela was set free in 1990. 4 years later, he would win the Presidency. The song was the product of a revised lineup of the band after 3 members of the band left in 1981. Many, many, many bands undergo lineup changes. The process of finding replacements for key roles within the band can stall the output of the band significantly. In this particular case, it was 3 years before a new lineup was solidified and a new full-length album was recorded. Bands often struggle with departures because there’s no “bench” to draw from. They must hire new talent. If a business were to go 3 years trying to figure out their “lineup” after one or more key players left, well, there would likely be no business left. That’s why succession planning is so important. Gina Reilly Coates joins me for the first episode of Season 5 of Next in Queue and we discuss: • Leadership and the Role of Succession Planning• Team Member Development• Stretch Roles and Their Impact• Preparing for Interviews• Understanding Company Culture in Interviews• The Role of Communication in Leadership• A Travel and Spirits Pairing You Won’t Want to MissConnect with Gina on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/ginamreilly/ Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/
