"Leadership Training; Does it Work?" and "What Works Best; Questions or Advice?" with Doug Gfeller, MCC

Doug tackle’s two topics in today’s short radio show. The first explores the questionable value of off-site leadership training and the obstacles that the trainee faces when they return to their original environment. Based on personal examples, using short group training sessions followed up by individual phone coaching can dramatically increase the benefits of the training by moving the discussions from textbook to real world examples.

The second topic deals with the often discussed issue of coaches giving advice vs asking questions. It addresses the client’s question that if you are not going to tell me what to do then what is the value of the coaching. The answer to this and the issue of what the ICF Ethics Standards say should be done are looked in detail. This discussion can be applied as readily to any case where you are asked to give advice as it can be to the coaching relationship. Lots of ideas for coaches and non-coaches both.

“Creating A Winning Culture and Embracing Technology” with Pat Fuscoe, Founder and CEO of Fuscoe Engineering, Inc.

Listen to this fast paced interview with Pat Fuscoe as he shares how he has retained the company’s start-up culture with a firm of over 200 people. From All Hands Meeting to Core Values and Vision to becoming an ESOP, he has fostered a spirit of teamwork and creativity that would surprise you in any firm, much less an engineering firm. His commitment to technology and constant learning has put them at the cutting edge in the use of drones, virtual reality and Watson for providing his clients with answers to questions they didn’t even know to ask. This firm may be blurring the lines of what an Engineering company does but they are laser focused on providing customer service.

Pat’s Take-A-Ways:
1. It is better to be small and great than big and crappy!
2. Growth is about getting stronger, not bigger.
3. Celebrate what you can do rather than mourn what you can’t do.

“Work Place Transformation” with Ray Irmer, Director of Interior Architecture for Withee Malcolm Architects

Consolidation or “right sizing” of real estate is one of the most challenging strategies a corporate real estate manager has to address. But what can be done so that this work place transformation is less disruptive to employers, employees, tenants, and investors? One approach is the development of a one-size-fits all planning concept. This provides for total flexibility allowing teams to easily regroup or move around the facility as needed. For this concept to be successful, activity based work settings need to be included as part of the overall design solution. Whether as a reflection of corporate culture, evolving demographics, new technologies or imaginative design trends, office space keeps evolving. Ray's exceptional range of experience in commercial interiors, both as a client and service provider, gives him special insight into the evolving requirements of the contemporary workplace. Listen as Ray Irmer shares the challenges of "Work Place Transformations."

“Coaching From White Collar Executives to Tee Shirt Millennials” with Camber Hill

If I had to put a label on what Camber does I would say he is a Life Coach but that really doesn’t tell the whole story. Camber says that he was born to do what he does. He didn’t take a class and learn how to be a business owner or become a successful executive or life coach, he invented it. He tell us that he has a Ph’d in results which is why he has private clients who have been with him for up to 28 years.
