Ever wonder what you can expect from a local event of The Advance Innovation Society? Here in Cleveland, it's all about connection, collaboration, and conversation. Our members are business leaders who act as sounding boards for each other for problem-solving and innovation. Our members inspire each other to take action. Our members make introductions to the right people. Our members support each other in countless ways, and it all starts with a conversation. Join us for our next local event, Friday, April 19th from 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Lorraine Schuchart, APR will be facilitating a "Quarterly Compass." We'll start by examining Q1's outcomes, celebrating our successes, and identifying lessons learned. This reflection sets the groundwork for a forward-looking discussion where we'll collaboratively chart our course for Q2 and the rest of the year. Expect a dynamic meeting focused on setting clear, actionable goals that align with our commitment to growth, innovation, and impact. It's an opportunity to recalibrate, refocus, and reignite our collective ambitions as we move forward together.

A big thank you to IndustryNow for hosting a two great days of thought leadership and collaboration! It was such an energizing way to start our conference season! Many helpful tips and viewpoints were shared. Here are just a few that I took away: 1- Nicholas Lawrence asked us to think about the feeling of being short staffed another way- Are you actually lacking people or are your current team members not performing to full capacity. 2- Nina Franchina and Eric Knott both talked about how important it is to always solicit feedback from your team members, the best ideas come from the field, not the boardroom. 3- Andy Hooper's presentation on how Labor is not Disposable and how organizations need to think about how to change their social contract with their employees if they want to be able to attract and retain great talent. High turnover rates don't have to be something we just accept. 4- Anthony Valletta reminding us to not let fear of looking back halt our growth and that we have the option to "Choose our Hard". 5- Steve Felson shared how to set clear expectations for tangible results. As leaders we have to share the What, Why and When and let our team members worry about the How- Let them use their own path, passion and process. 6- Gregg Majewski driving home that as leaders the more real we are with our teams, the more they will buy in.

“How can I help?” is often not helpful from a leader.  Yet, think of how many times you say it or hear it said?  At least that is what I came to reflect on with one of my SE managers on a road trip visiting customers and closing out the end of the quarter in recent weeks.  It occurred to me as we walked back to the hotel that it was missing the mark.  In order to actually be helpful you have to direct the focus of your goal to scale the business to their businesses ~ Here is a way that I think I might be able to help you … would that be worth exploring?  Anything else?  The challenge often considered or offered by execs (including to themselves), “How do I know how to help them?”  Which eventually traps everyone in the paradox of “Why aren’t my people getting me involved?? Don’t they know how to leverage me?”  That often arises in leadership conversations or topics around acceleration.    To be useful requires an investment in knowing your business and an appreciation of the nuance for that individual AE/ SE/ CSM’s territory/ portfolio. Translate your offer into the micro of their business vs. the macro that you may operate in more often.  The themes across portfolios in aggregate are likely the same.  As I reflect on our success in Q1 and consider our growth expectations through the balance of our Fiscal, I want to thank Brenda Bendel, Tabish Tanzeem, Chris DuChane, Andrew Zobrist, Leffie Crawford, Hassan A., Mike Macomber, Kirsten Cahill, Jack Thomas and our other xfn leaders & partners for kicking the year off strong.  Looking forward to continuing to dig in with specificity and context for how to accelerate our org this year!
