🌟 Excited to share my experience attending the Poverty by Greenville event, featuring Matthew Desmond and sponsored by United Way! 🌟 The facts on poverty are disturbing. These 2 stuck with me: ** 1 in 9 live in poverty** ** Those in the top 20% of income receive $35,000 in support from the government while those in the lowest 20% only receive $25,000** My other key Takeaways from the event are: 1. **We don't need to outsmart the problem, we need to hate it more:** 2. **We all have influence somewhere:** Whether it's in our workplaces, communities, or circles of friends, each of us holds a unique sphere of influence. This means we all have the power to make a difference, no matter how big or small our platform may seem. 3. **Embrace the awkward:** Addressing issues like poverty can often feel uncomfortable or awkward, but we were encouraged to lean into these feelings. It's through embracing the discomfort that we can have authentic conversations and take meaningful action. Let's continue to leverage our influence and passion to drive positive change in the fight against poverty! 💪 I didn't get to read the book before the event so I'm now looking forward to reading Poverty, by America to learn even more from Matthew!

For years, the influence of new union operations has been decreasing. However, a recent union win in the south begs the question: what does this mean for union organizers and employees? Are companies conducting supervisory training to improve both their leadership skills and their ability to detect and address union organizing attempts? Having personal experience in successfully preventing unionization in multiple companies and even decertifying a union while simultaneously introducing new benefits during a hurricane and plant shutdown, communication is critical. Employee trust in management must be transparent. This begs the question: what went wrong in Tennessee for the site that experienced a union win? We look forward to hearing your opinions and insights on this important topic.

A bit strange for several reasons because I a. am never on LinkedIn but also b. never post personal stuff when I am, but when a company hits it out of the park with customer service and blows past any expectations you had, you have to say something. If you are in the metro Atlanta area and need your gate call box serviced, stop looking for a company because I have the best one for you. A sincere thank you to Mark Lehman at Power Access Control for operating a business with integrity, which is an increasing rarity these days. Mark was prompt to respond to my inquiry yesterday morning. My expectations were zero because he was the sixth company that I had reached out to about trying to fix our gate call box. The sixth that I can remember! There are a few in there that never responded to outreach. He had a technician out to diagnose our problem early yesterday afternoon. It wasn’t a few minutes after the technician had left that I received an email with options and estimates. I chose what we would do with the call box this morning, and almost immediately, Mark was in contact with me. He said that someone would be out today to start the work. I thought he meant later today, but I looked out the window and the technician was here already, going to town on the fix! A problem that’s been going on for FIVE MONTHS took less than 36 hours to resolve all because I managed to find the right company. Anyone who works in a service profession, take a note. I don’t care what kind of service it is. If you work on machines, technology, or in customer service, there’s a huge take away here. I’m going through my phone trying to think of any and everyone that I can tell about my amazing customer service experience. I want to leave reviews on every website I can find. Most importantly, I am EXCITED to pay my invoice because of my service experience. Mark told me he built a thriving business just because he returned correspondence promptly and always made sure that he never had an unhappy customer. Like he said, it’s a pretty easy recipe for success. And I agree! So thank you again, Mark, for the great service and the great lesson. 😉

Think It's Impossible? Think Again. Ignite your purpose today, and watch the impossible unfold. #coachjoe #curiousleader ⁉️ "Can't be done?" Those words often mirror someone else's barriers, not yours. ✴️ As a leader, your task is to peer through these perceived limits with vision and purpose. Here’s the key: align your efforts with the right ‘purpose’. 👉🏼 Purpose transforms ‘impossible’ into ‘I’m possible’. It acts as a lens, clarifying our goals and removing the haze of doubt cast by others’ limitations. 👊🏼 When you are driven by a clear and meaningful purpose, the barriers others perceive can often be navigated or dismantled. #Leadership #BreakTheLimits

In my 13 years in the automotive industry, I’ve learned a lot growing and graduating through different positions throughout the industry. I’ve learned so much over the past 13 years and continue to learn every day, if you’re not learning, you’re not growing. Our industry can be really good at making things unnecessarily, complicated and convoluted. We use a ton of systems and technology, we create processes that make sense on paper or fit a spreadsheet, but do they actually work in the real world, boots on the ground in the store, working with customers? It really boils down to this… The 3 P’s that mold, shape and define success in the automotive industry. People 👥 Process 📄 Pay plans 💰 If you stop, and actually think of all of the things we do in our industry that make our stores successful, the vast majority of those successful pieces would fall under people, process and pay plans. Find really really good people that are really really good at what they do, give them very simple, executable efficient processes and pay them well.

Our past shapes us, but it doesn't define us. As leaders, we must practice self-compassion and growth. #coachjoe #curiousleader 👉🏼📍 Forgive Your Younger Self: It's through our experiences that we gain the wisdom to lead with empathy and understanding. 👉🏼‼️ Believe in Your Current Self: Leadership is about being present, making decisions with confidence, and inspiring others to do the same. 👉🏼🔥 Create Your Future Self: Your future self is the product of today's actions and mindset. 👉🏼🔊 Leadership is not linear; it's a continuous evolution. By forgiving, believing, and creating, we not only grow as leaders but also inspire those around us to do the same. Vision is crucial. Empower your team, cultivate your skills, and remain curious. How does this align with your vision? #Leadership #GrowthMindset #Empowerment #CuriousLeader #CoachJoe
