It’s Time to Soar with Audrey Wiggins

7/9/2024
As I sat there in my seat and listened to the plane start down the runway. Engines roaring and all the passengers anticipating the ascent to the lower atmosphere, awaiting cruising altitude when they can finally relax and take the seat belt off. Being an entrepreneur is quite a similar experience. We take off running; setting goals; perfecting our product and service. Getting all the licensing and other documents necessary to open and operate a business. Then something happens along the way. Not to everyone but to some of us. We get to the point of take off when everything is just right. We begin to go through the motions and BAM we stall. Doubts fears negative thoughts and emotions. Our engines choke. Imposter syndrome takes flight instead. If you are triggered by anything in this message please touch 988 or visit 988lifeline.org Now what? The day comes when we choose to start down that runway again. We’re unstoppable. We bring all the energy, experience and excitement of a new entrepreneur. This time we take off. We soar. We now believe what others have been saying all along because we now believe in ourselves and the great value we bring to the marketplace. Send me a message. Follow this podcast.

Empowering Independence: Modernizing Workplace Training with the Find and Follow Framework with Greg DeVore

3/4/2024
Greg DeVore discussed the need for a fundamental shift in the approach to training and knowledge transfer, moving away from a one-size-fits-all solution towards a more tailored and efficient approach that aligns with the way people work. He introduced the "Find and Follow Framework", which empowers employees to work independently and handle various situations effectively. Greg also highlighted the Framework's applicability to different businesses, emphasizing its potential to address inconsistencies in customer service and operational procedures. Greg DeVore is the co-founder and CEO of ScreenSteps, a company dedicated to helping organizations transfer knowledge to their employees more efficiently. His career in training began 20 years ago in the film scoring industry, where he taught composers to utilize Apple’s Logic platform. This experience paved the way for opportunities to design e-learning solutions for medical devices for prominent companies such as GE, Siemens, and Philips. As the CEO of ScreenSteps, Greg collaborates with organizations of various sizes to replace ineffective training programs with efficient knowledge transfer strategies, enabling them to onboard employees at least 50% faster. Greg holds a degree in Composition and Film Scoring from the Berklee College of Music. He resides in McLean, Virginia, with his wife and four boys, which explains the abundance of broken items in their home. Send us a Text Message. Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
