Description

Hey Scaling Up Nation! It's your weekly host, Trace Blackmore. In today's episode, I answer your questions about communication, healthy habits, being a good listener, and share a story that I hope causes you to reflect on why we work and who we work for I love that so many of our listeners submit show ideas for us, and after looking through dozens of show idea suggestions, I noticed one overarching theme emerge: communication. Good communication can help every relationship you are in from your family members to your clients. Good communication is never "accomplished" like clicking a check box, it is maintained and never ends. One of the things I'm going to dive into today is a book that changed not only my communication style but also how I systematize my life for the better, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. As a reference, here are those 7 habits: Be proactive Begin with the end in mind Put first things first Think Win/Win Seek first to understand, then to be understood Synergize Sharpen the saw After listening to today's episode, I challenge you to get excited when you meet someone who doesn't agree with you because you will leave the conversation better for it. Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client. -Trace Timestamps: Scaling up our knowledge, so we don't scale up our systems [1:25] Upcoming events [2:05] Better communication by "Minding The Gap" [3:55] Why I don't talk politics [5:09] The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People [6:55] The art of conversation [11:40] James' Challenge: "Explain to a non-technical person how a compression chiller works."
