Business conditions have changed dramatically since January, and the strategic priorities you defined at the beginning of 2020 may now be temporarily or permanently obsolete.
We aren’t going back to the way things were, and as we approach the end of Q2, this is the perfect time of the year to consider the current state of your business and the gap between where it is and the original aspirations for the year. For most businesses, it’s time to make new choices - choices about what to do and choices about what not to do.
During this episode, Sal Silvester and John Wittry explore how leaders need to reset their thinking, business strategy, and culture to emerge stronger in the second half of 2020.

We are into our third month of working virtually and different personality styles are responding very differently to our new way of working. Some team members are absolutely thriving, working independently, and with less distraction at home. Others are only surviving, missing out on the connection and community that comes with being in the office.
In this episode, Sal Silvester connects with top DiSC expert Tammy Krings to talk about the four primary personality styles in the workplace using the DiSC model and how to connect with each style in a virtual environment. During this episode, you'll walk away with insights on how to remain a caring and connected leader while adapting your style to what others need as you drive performance and productivity.

It is normal to not feel normal during this time. Our grief may be a response to losing our familiar way of living and working. As we enter the third month of this crisis, the topic of mental health is arising more often in the workplace. The challenge for leaders is knowing how to respond effectively as a manager and coach without stepping into the bounds of being a counselor or therapist. During this episode, Sal Silvester speaks with executive coach and psychotherapist Barry Shapiro about (1) a normal reaction to trauma, (2) what managers should do and not do in response to trauma, and (3) how can you take care of yourself so that you can be there for others.

We are interrupting Season 2 to provide tangible and actionable tools to help leaders during these difficult times.I know that many of you are feeling isolated right now. You are probably trying to work productively from home, maybe with a spouse or partner who is also trying to do the same. And on top of that getting your kids through their homeschooling class.
Ultimately, we all want to emerge from this crisis stronger and more united in our common goals. To do that, leaders at all levels have to recognize that what we are all going through a deeply human experience. And we can thrive and we can help our team members thrive if we truly recognize the humanity in all of this.
This episode provides some strategies based on our Human Workplace Needs model - it’s a model we created long before this crisis that enables a deeper level of your humanity to shine through to your people and your organization.

If you think it feels a little chaotic right now, you are not alone. Part of what contributes to the noise and instability during significant periods of uncertainty is haphazard communication from leaders. A few tweets or off-handed comments, pictures of empty shelves showing up on feeds and the unnerving sense of an invisible airborne threat and suddenly we’re buying dozens of rolls of toilet paper and gallons of hand sanitizer.During this episode, Sal Silvester shares a practical and tangible tool to help you and your leaders communicate with intention and purpose during any crisis.
