Lisa Baker is the Founder of Ascentim LLC, a coaching practice that guides its clients to live more meaningful and abundant lives, and she is the guest on this episode of the Training Unleashed podcast. Lisa spoke with our host Evan Hackel about her unique approach to achieving success. Why Lisa Left the World of Fortune 500 Businesses and Started Her Own Firm She chose to leave corporate life so she could pursue her calling to help others reach their peak levels of success. “Outside that corporate world,” she told Evan, “people have more freedom to say and do things.” Lisa explains, “I’ve merged my executive leadership experience with my greatest passions – faith, family, and financial freedom – to create my coaching practice, Ascentim. At Ascentim, we guide our clients to live more meaningful and abundant lives through an awakening that uncovers who they really are, what they value, and their purpose – using it all to create the career and life of their dreams.” Lisa Explains Her G.R.O.W. Approach to Coaching G.R.O.W. is a process and a methodology Lisa created to help people move from where they are to where they want to be. The four steps of G.R.O.W. are: · Gain Insight – This means gathering the information that you need to move ahead toward success. “Many times a person in an organization is struggling to add a new skill or overcome some obstacle, but is blocked and doesn’t know what the blockage is,” Lisa told Evan. “So that person has to strive to understand what is really taking place. What skills do they need? What connections?” · Realize New Possibilities - Once you have gained insight, you can start to consider what you can do with the information you have gathered. “Where do you want to go?” Lisa asks, “what is now possible for you?” · Overcome Obstacles - This phase is all about planning. “Life always brings obstacles our way,” Lisa says. “We didn’t expect some of them, but there are other obstacles we can anticipate and plan for. “ · Win - This means winning at life. It’s bigger than just winning in your career. It has to do with your life and your legacy. “Winning is all about defining what success looks like to you,” Lisa says, “and for each of us, that is something different.” Evan Hackel observed, “Part of the problem is that when people don’t define success, they never feel successful.” Lisa agreed. Lisa on Helping Younger Employees Grow . . . “Younger people value the idea of having a pathway for their careers. However, many of them think that path should be very fast, and straight up. So part of managing those people is to expand their understanding of how careers grow. “It’s not always linear. Sometimes you take some side steps. You might even see it as a step backward . . . and that’s all good.” How Training Departments Can Support Individual Growth Lisa says that training departments can incorporate the G.R.O.W. process in their training. “And they can also bring a more holistic approach to training that addresses a broader base of considerations than just their career,” she adds. “One of them is finance.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Our Training Unleashed podcast host Evan Hackel sat down with Crista Grasso, the creator of the Lean Out Method, a simple way to grow a business to scale in the right way, by minimizing waste and maximizing efficiencies, and a known authority on helping global businesses simplify and scale. The two discussed the importance of growing your business to the right scale. What Do You Need to Focus on As You Scale? Crista says there are four factors to consider: Strategy, Planning, Systems and Team. One common problem is that when things are not working well, many companies assume they need to add more people. Yet the real problem could be something else: they don’t have the right systems in place. And if they pause and simplify, many companies find they can stretch their people a bit further and align them with roles that will get more from the business.
Where to Focus as You Scale If you can focus on your most important goals as a company – where you really want to be and what you really want to achieve – that will help you pinpoint activities where you can reduce your energy and your resources. Unless you have clarity of vision, everything will seem like an amazing opportunity and you can invest your people, time and effort in the wrong areas. So the first step is to clarify your vision, so you engage in activities that are directionally correct. On a Bigger Vision of Training Training plays a critically important role in helping a company grow to scale provided the company asks not only “what are we doing?” but, “why are we doing it?” Crista’s One Biggest Tip for Members of the Training Unleashed Community “Have that clarity of vision,” Crista says. “If you know what is directionally correct for your organization, it will help you make the right decisions and help you grow to scale.” Learn more about your ad choices.

When you improve sales training, you improve your bottom line. But what kind of changes should you make, and what results can you expect? Host Evan Hackel sits down with Jeremy Miner, sales training expert and CEO of 7th Level, to explore these questions and more in this episode of the Training Unleashed podcast. Continuous Training Jeremy asks, “Is training something that you did, or is it something that you do?” Please take a moment to think about that question. Jeremy is telling us that if you want to sell more, you need to do sales training continually. Top athletes and sports teams don’t only train when they’re young or just starting out. They train every day. And if you want your organization to succeed, you need to do that too. One Big Hidden Impediment to Selling More Today Post-pandemic, your customers are more cautious and skeptical about making the wrong buying decisions. Your salespeople need to address that fear. There is More Clutter to Cut Through than Ever Before Checking email, for many people, is the first thing they do in the morning—even before they get out of bed or walk down the hall. When they drive to work, they hear ads on the radio and drive past billboards. And at the end of the day before they go to bed, they look at Facebook and other social platforms. If you can't find a way to cut through all that clutter and deliver your sales message, you are simply not going to sell more. Sales Training Needs to Be Virtual Jeremy points out that kids do not learn to ride bicycles by attending seminars. They learn to ride bikes by riding bikes! In a similar way, if sales professionals are selling virtually, then sales training needs to be virtual and based on real-world experiences of selling to people. Jeremy told Evan, “If you want to continually hone your skills and actually learn how to apply them, you want to continually hone those skills in virtual sales training every single day.” Why the First Few Seconds of a Sales Call Are Critically Important Jeremy says that if a salesperson is only fixated on making a commission, that salesperson develops what he calls “salesperson’s breath,” which can be smelled 100 feet away. And when prospects are confronted with a salesperson who has entered that state, they immediately go into a fight or flight state and cannot be sold to. Curiously, this can happen when salespeople become too excited about their products. Today, are we learning that if you don’t want to scare your prospects away, you need a calmer approach in which you come across as calmer and more unbiased. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this instalment of the Training Unleashed podcast, host Evan Hackel sat down with Dr. Michelle K. Johnston to discuss the shift in leadership style from a “command and control” style to one based on building connections with yourself, your style of communication and your organization.
What Is the shift in Leadership that Michelle Has Identified? Michelle noticed this change in leadership style when she realized that executives who were still using a “command and control” style were getting pushed out of organizations and were no longer valued.
The New Leadership Is About Connection, Connection, Connection Michelle’s research found that leaders who were getting pushed out had failed to establish a deep connection with the people on their teams. Their teams didn't trust them. Their teams thought they were inauthentic, sometimes fake. They wondered, who is this person? They couldn’t tell because their leader was putting on a professional act by trying to look like what a leader should be. And she saw that today’s most effective leaders are all about connection.
Listen to the entire episode to hear how connection is the new currency of leadership.
About Our Guest Dr. Michelle K. Johnston is a management professor, executive coach, and leadership expert helping leaders achieve results through meaningful connection. She is an award-winning professor studying leadership and business communication, and her research has shown a clear link between a team’s effective communication and its positive financial performance. Michelle is a celebrated keynote speaker presenting at conferences and events nationwide.

What It Means to Be a Chief Everything Officer Richard told Evan that this new kind of executive – a Chief Everything Officer – is someone who sits in an executive seat in a company but finds themself wearing many more hats than they anticipated. They’re spinning more plates than they feel like they can keep going at any one time and putting out fires all the time – forced to live in what Richard calls “a reactive state.” “None of us wants to own that identity,” Richard told Evan. “But if we're honest with ourselves in a moment of self-reflection, we'd say, `Yeah, I'm playing Chief Everything Officer. In any moment I could be Human Resources Officer or whatever the need may be.’” Listen to the entire podcast to hear Richard’s tips that people can use to help build a mindset that a Chief Everything Officer needs.

Training Unleashed’s host Evan Hackel recently sat down with Danielle Mulvey, founder of a remarkable company called The All In Company that has developed systems to hire and retain only 5-star employees. Their conversation revolves around the concept of 5-star employees elevating a team and moving the company forward, to help it grow and prosper. So, what are 5-star employees? According to Danielle, the 5-start employee represents the top 15% of available talent in the market. A 5-star employee is “really that ideal candidate for the role who has the drive, the passion, maybe experience, maybe not, but the aptitudes to be successful in the role and deliver on the key responsibilities that you need for the role - and the measure of success you put to those key responsibilities.” It’s an interesting concept that starts in the hiring process—digging deep into what you need from the candidate, their aptitudes, their core values. It’s about spending time with the candidate to understand them and evaluate the fit. Danielle shares a tip on how to change your job postings to start attracting your 5-star employees today!

Here are some of Steve’s take-aways from this essential podcast.
Compliance Awareness Saves Money
“In this day and age of Covid-19 and high risk, “Steve explains, “the relative cost of putting in an effective compliance program, compared to the risk of a whistleblower lawsuit or a violation because you are out of compliance, is just enormous.
“In this high risk world that we live in, a compliance program is a smart, sensible way to put in place controls that enhance and enable your business to compete and win, regardless of what your business is.”
It Takes a Trained Team to Keep Your Business Safe
“We're all familiar with going through the airport,” Steve explains, “and the idea that if you see something, say something. And the same attitude should be internal to any company.
People in your organization have to be able to look around and say, Hey wait a second, we are not in compliance in this area, and that could be a problem. And that's where training is perhaps the most important element.
“Training is the glue that connects all of the structure – from policies, procedures, monitoring – and holds it all together. Through training, people understand why compliance is important. It's the why behind the what that training really exploits.”
A Case Study that Proves the Point
Steve, who has worked extensively in the life science industries, says, “One case that really comes to mind that I think all your viewers are very familiar with is the Theranos case. Elizabeth Holmes, the former child genius from Stanford, founded that blood-testing company with the concept that it is possible to learn amazing things from just a pinprick of blood.
“Well, it sounded too good to be true. And guess what, it was. But she attracted incredible investors, and the company took off. And she was, I believe, at one point, the wealthiest woman CEO in the world. But then it all came crashing down. Why? Well, there weren't controls in place to catch the problem, which was that the technology didn’t work. Or to catch the smoke and mirrors.
“Employees or fellow executives could have said,Wait a second, this doesn't sound right. Wait a second, this really isn't working. Wait a second, where's the science to back this up?’
“A compliance program builds that kind of internal check . . . So that's a clear example of where a compliance program. and I would add an ethics and compliance program, could have prevented tremendous problems.

In this episode of Training Unleashed, Evan talks to Terry Warren, one of America’s top coaches to highly successful executives, discussed his proven strategies for achieving much greater success.
In this life-changing podcast, you will learn to apply his philosophy to produce immediate benefits in everything you do.
Here are some insights you will gain from Evan’s conversation with Terry.
Intention Is the First Step toward Getting Great Things Done
Terry told Evan, “When people make an intentional choice to do something, and they commit to it . . . it’s as if they were jumping off a cliff. When they do that, the success rate is 100 percent. They’re declaring an intention, letting the world know about it, and are willing to be accountable for it. That realization came to me after coaching 30 or 40 people. I saw there was something going on there.”
Together, Evan and Terry called this, “The Power of Declaration.”
Use Small Steps to Ignite Major Change
“I once worked with a person who was tremendous when he was working with clients,” Terry recalls, “but was having difficulty internally in his communication style. And he was called on the carpet by HR and told, This can’t continue.’
“But this person engaged with me and accepted the idea that he needed to change. Then we talked about baby steps he could take to do that. One of those steps was for him to find somebody in his own team, somebody he trusted. And then to say to that person,I realize I need to change how I'm coming across, will you help me with that? And I am going to give you permission, not during a meeting, but after, to call me to account if I did not do well.’
“And it was transformational . . . I find that baby steps are a great place to start. And so if I'm talking to people, I say, Let's just commit to one small thing right now, and let's take some baby steps to get to that, then we can come back to others. But let's just start with one, because that doesn't seem overwhelming.”
Try Constantly to Gain Perspective
Terry observes, “Things look different, depending on where you're standing to look at them. The example I like is a Rubik's Cube. Hold up a Rubik's Cube and just look squarely at the face, and it's a square! But if you turn it a little bit, you might see one of the other sides or if you turn a little further, you might see some of the bottom. One of the ways to change how we approach business problems is to bring a new perspective to them . . . if you get other people's input, you might then say to yourself,What do I need to stop believing in order to do this?’
“And I think if you get those other perspectives, that leads to clarity about what needs to be done. You get better results when you actually have a different perspective.”
Strive for Clarity
“If you're clear about what you're trying to do, then you can actually accomplish it,” Terry told Evan. “But sometimes it's not possible to get total clarity about something you want to accomplish. If that is the case, you need to ask more questions, and to get additional information. And at a certain point, you need to consider, how much information have I gathered? Have I gathered as much information as possible in the time I have? Have I gathered enough information to believe that I'm clear on what has to be done?”
Those are only a small selection of the big ideas that came into focus during this powerful Training Unleashed podcast.

In this episode of Training Unleashed, Evan pointed out that he has long been working remotely, and letting employees of his companies do so too, for years. He noted that since working remotely became common during the pandemic, he has lost one of his preferred tools for recruiting employees. Pre-pandemic, offering candidates the chance to work from home was highly attractive. Now, it has become routine. Kevin, from his side of the conversation, recalled similar experiences. “I've been leading a remote team or a hybrid team for over a decade,” Kevin told Evan. “And then about seven years ago, we formed the Remote Leadership Institute as a part of our larger organization. I was working with a gentleman named Wayne Turmel. And his whole focus was around remote communication for trainers, for presenters, for salespeople, etc. And so we brought all of our leadership work together under the umbrella of the Remote Leadership Institute. And now we've written several of books in this area, one called The Long Distance Leader and then more recently, The Long Distance Teammate. So we've been in this space helping people work remotely for a lot longer than the pandemic.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode of Training Unleashed, Evan talks to Candace Sjogren, entrepreneur, coach, author, as well as co-founder and center director of Boston Breakthrough Academy (BBA) about the benefits of attending the leadership development and emotional intelligence training at BBA. Emotional intelligence training isn’t commonly used to describe leadership development training. According to Candace, “from an employer’s perspective, it’s awareness. Awareness of what am I bringing to the table, what are you bringing to the table, and how do we shift an otherwise tense situation into something that’s supportive to both of us.” Leadership development training programs that focus on emotional intelligence, like the one offered through BBA, help you identify your blind spots. They help you determine what you’re not seeing. “Why is my boss continuously telling me that I’m a star performer, ‘but…’ Why is that ‘but’ continuously showing up in my life? And how can I break through that in order to be at the next level of whatever it is in life for me. Whether that’s being the next level mom or next level executive,” explained Candace. It’s all about building or breaking the habit. And, during the interview, Candace teaches Evan a really quick exercise that anyone can practice in their life to create a new habit and shift behavior. And remember to listen to the end of the episode to get Candace’s BIG tip and the details about her giveway. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode of Training Unleashed, Evan talks to David Wood, high performance coach and founder of focus.ceo, about the simple steps you can take to reap rewards that are not possible from your comfort zone. Here are some of the tips David shared: We’re more likely to regret the things we didn’t do than the things we did do. As David explained, what he wants for everyone is that when they’re sitting on their death bed that they really gave it everything, “I really went for it.” David believes that playing it safe can be one of the most dangerous things you can do. It’s perfect as it is, but there’s always more. According to David, there is always room for more. He acknowledges that it’s valid for people who are happy where they are today. There are people who, for them, not searching for more could start to get boring. And for them, “it’s perfect as it is, but I have desires and that’s also perfect.” You can’t read the label from inside the jar. For David, “I can only see what I can see and my biggest enemy is my own arrogance.” He used a game of chess to help explain this. You might see that you can take a knight, but someone else watching sees that in three moves you’re going to lose your queen. When you can get that outside perspective, you get the clarity of distance. During the interview, Evan opened himself up to coaching from David. Through David’s coaching method, Evan was able to see the situation from a different perspective.
