This Episode
David and Stefanie discuss disaster response, a 4-part model of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Stefanie’s advice is relevant for Covid-19 and any future disasters your firm may encounter.

About Stefanie Krievens (in her own words)
I focus my work on cultures that love their people, want them to stay, and want them to keep being awesome. If I can help you retain your best people (and that might even be you!) or solve a sticky business problem, that’s a win for everyone. We’re much more likely to make big impact on this world when we work with heart.

 Some people call me a Pro Troublemaker.

With a newly-minted master’s degree, I first set out to make a difference by working for a regional nonprofit as their one-person marketing department. I worked hard, messed up, learned a lot, and left.

 I then finessed my way into a high-caliber HR consulting and leadership development company. I wrote job descriptions, crafted corporate training programs, developed compensation plans, recruited top-notch candidates, and updated performance management systems for companies from 15 to 1,500.

 Later on, I then translated that work into a national nonprofit, where I wrote and marketed Christian social justice programming for a network of 40,000 volunteers and program graduates. But after scrubbing data for months, I realized that my career was nowhere near where I wanted it to be.

 So, in my mid-thirties, I decided to make a change.

I sought out coaching and went back to my strengths. And eventually, I went on to complete Erickson International’s solution-focused coaching program. Now, I get to live my mission every day: Supporting individuals and organizations so they can get past their own “stuck and stalled” places and start innovating and growing again.

We’re all in uncharted territory as most firms today are now largely working from home (WFH), and more distributed than ever. Josh Miles and guest CJ McClanahan discuss the challenges of remote working situations, and how to focus on the right things for getting work done and staying sane.

About CJ McClanahan

For nearly two decades, CJ McClanahan has been coaching high performing entrepreneurs and executives in just about every industry you can imagine.

Now, CJ is on a quest to inspire and engage leaders in a different conversation. A bigger conversation – a “what’s next?” conversation.

As a keynote speaker, executive coach and recovering overachiever, CJ challenges his audiences to redefine success on their own terms. He helps them learn to break the “Achievement Addiction” and focus on the things that really matter (spoiler alert: those things may not be what you think!).

Through his non-profit, TwoRule, CJ encourages high achieving individuals to live by two simple rules: 

• Live Gratefully
• Give Generously

We all know how to speak like humans, but why is it so difficult to write copy that sounds natural. If you’d like to communicate more clearly, tune in as Josh interviews Nick Usborne about copywriting.

About Nick Usborne
Nick Usborne is an online copywriter and trainer who wrote his first website in 1995. When his book, Net Words, was published by McGraw-Hill in 2002, it was one of the very first to address the new profession of writing for the web. After writing web copy for nearly two decades, Nick began teaching companies and organizations how to write better websites. A few years later, he began converting his corporate training materials into courses and programs for freelance writers and copywriters. Today, Nick continues to immerse himself in teaching the craft of conversational copywriting.

Having worked with clients like Citibank, Apple, Reuters, WebEx, and New York Times, Nick has seen it all in the world of copywriting — and he knows what works. He’s earned 15 awards in direct response marketing — both in Europe and North America — and he’s worked as an advisor and consultant to various startups — primarily in online consumer product sales. He’s spoken at numerous online marketing conferences, as well as conducted in-house seminars and training sessions for companies like Yahoo!, Novartis Pharma, John Deere, Walt Disney Attractions, and more.

Nick lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where he’s not always sitting in front of a keyboard. When he’s not working, and if the weather is being kind, he can often be seen enjoying the outdoors via kayak or bike. In the winter he’s out on his cross-country skis most days.
