Colleen Greco – Let’s Talk About Workplace Culture

Download the Show Audio Here

Show Topic:
What is important to “you” in workplace culture? 63% of employees say RESPECT and if they do not feel respected, they will leave. So how do you build a culture that focuses on respect and builds trusting relationships in a work environment? How does it affect women vs other genders in the workplace?

  In this episode of the HR Power Hour, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses Let’s Discuss Workplace Culture… with Coleen Greco, Joyologist and Coach that empowers and inspires women to reclaim their joy. Listen to simple and practical examples and stories of how women have changed their paradigm, made themselves heard, and find balance and joy in their lives.

About The Guest:

Joy isn’t just her calling, it’s her middle name (well, it’s Joyce, but just roll with it!)

Coleen is a compassionate, empathetic, and boldly authentic human being but she wasn’t always this way. Like many, she’s been plagued by her own self-defeating thoughts – some of them she’s carried for over four decades! Through her own journey of self-discovery, spiritual exploration, and personal crisis she managed to transform her life into the most unimaginable source of

joy. Today, Coleen is a Joyologist. She provides coaching to clients who feel stuck and want to reclaim joy in their life through a holistic mind/body/soul approach. As a motivational speaker, she works with individuals and corporations around the globe, teaching folks how to reclaim their joy using the SNAP Method™. You can follow her on IG: @thecoleengreco

Chuck Mollor – Psychological Safety in Remote Work

Download the Show Audio Here

Show Topic:
Employers often ask their employees to “bring their whole self to work.” Companies ask employees to engage in inclusion endeavors and to help the organization achieve its mission as it relates to culture, diversity, and growth. Often, however, when the organization is unsuccessful in achieving any of these goals, the organization blames the individual—using terms and phrases such as “they weren’t the right fit” or they didn’t “integrate” well with the “culture”. But the issue could be larger than these catch-phrases. Instead, it may be time for the organization to be asking—do employees feel psychologically safe at work? On this episode of HR Power Hour, join Tawny Alvarez and Chuck Mollor, founder, CEO, executive coach, and advisor at MCG Partners, as they discuss the importance of psychological safety at work, including why it’s important and how you can help to build a more psychologically safe work environment for your employees.

John Myrna – The Chemistry of Growth

Show Topic:

Growth is leadership’s number one challenge. Your greatest impediments are communication and focus. The single most powerful tool for dealing with those impediments is an effective strategic management process that leverages your most valuable asset – your leadership team.

In this episode, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses with John Myrna, Co-Founder and CEO of Myrna Associates, Inc., his new book- The Chemistry of Growth: A CEO’s Guide. Listen as David and John discuss a practical and proven formula that has enabled hundreds of small and mid-sized companies to create and grow exceptional value, turning their company’s vision into reality.

About The Guest:

John Myrna’s early years and the road less traveled

John started his business career working two paper routes to feed his avid electronics hobby. As a high school sophomore, he moved into the big time with a leveraged buyout of his accordion teacher’s music business. He received an early education in managing a declining market when the Beatles invaded, and the accordion business took a nosedive. Effective market positioning and two acquisitions generated the cash flow to fund his BS in Electrical Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Following the road less traveled, John went from the big-city streets of central Newark to the big sky country of Bozeman, Montana. Two years later he left for the Army with a Masters degree in communications science and a life-long love of skiing and the West.

Fifteen years with Scientific Time Sharing Corporation (STSC)

John joined STSC in its first year to share in the lucrative computer time sharing business. During his 16-year tenure, STSC grew to over 250 employees, had a successful IPO and secondary offering, was acquired by a telephone company, and ended with an employee buyout. John became the General Manager of the core business after the triple blows of a back-to-back recession, the IBM 4300 with VM and the PC revolution knocked the time sharing business out of the sky. He turned his business unit around by shutting 18 offices, downsizing, and focusing on existing customers to generate enough cash flow to jump-start a very successful micro-computer software business.

Turnaround artist

Two months from bankruptcy and valued at “a quarter and two dead flies,” VM Systems Group’s board asked John to leave STSC and do his best to turn their company around. Within two years he consolidated the company’s position as number two in its market, attracting venture capital and enhancing growth through product and competitor acquisition. John was now a recognized turnaround artist.

Founding Myrna Associates, Inc.

On July 4, 1991, John and his life-long partner –and wife– Mary, formed Myrna Associates, dedicated to improving the competitiveness of America’s small businesses. John’s experiences have given him a passionate belief in the power of strategic planning to generate immediate bottom-line results, especially during a growth spurt, turnaround or other transitions. He distilled what he learned from leading organizations over 20 years into a formal program tailored for the small to medium-sized organization. Over a quarter of a century of continuous improvement has created a process that accomplishes more in a two-day team-planning meeting than in the two weeks required by traditional “big company” methods. Even organizations in crisis can find two days to invest in planning for success.

Total Quality Planning™

Success flows from the executive team’s consensus and commitment to achieving a small number of goals through specific action plans. Myrna Associates’ Total Quality Planning (TQP) process helps make this happen. Myrna Associates can take total responsibility for pre-planning, meeting facilitation and the transcribing and printing of a company’s plan. All the company team has to do is show up for the intensive two-day retreat and they are guaranteed to have the final plan in their hands within a week! Myrna Associates backs its work with a no questions asked, 100% money-back guarantee.
