RAISE YOUR HAND!!! At Vestia Personal Wealth Advisors that is one of our values. The Narrative that goes along with this is "We courageously seek opportunities that challenge us. We understand that growth occurs at the edge of our comfort zone." How do we drive and reinforce this value? We have a book club, led by our Chief Development Officer Forrest Friedow (who is an amazing advisor, and also doubles as an incredible coach and teacher for the team). Some of the books that the Team has read are shown below. Once we digest each, we determine what, if anything we need to incorporate into our culture, and if we are going to do so... how. #values #culture #wealththatmatters

☀ The Ability to Consider an Opposing Idea or Belief with Courtesy ☀ -Do you have it? At Kinsman, one of our foundational tenets is the ability to consider an opposite or dissenting idea or belief with courtesy. This pillar isn't just about maintaining harmony, it's about fostering an environment where people can feel safe and open to share what they really think. We're certain that exceptional results and solid relationships are achieved when we listen well with the full intent to understand rather than rushing to respond. Why is this so crucial? 🤔 Fosters Innovation: When we actively listen to and respectfully evaluate different viewpoints, we open the door to fresh ideas and creative solutions. It's through the clash of perspectives that groundbreaking innovations are born. Strengthens Team Dynamics: An environment where different opinions are welcomed cultivates an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. This is the bedrock foundation for any team or unit looking to accomplish hard to attain goals and initiatives. Especially under the pressure of a deadline. Enhances Customer Outcomes: By embracing and integrating various perspectives, we refine our approach and deliverables. This not only helps in addressing a wider range of customer needs but also ensures that our solutions are well-rounded and robust. In essence, our commitment to this concept forges unbreakable bonds within our team and catalyzes us to deliver exceptional value to our customers, every time. Together, we turn our dissent and opposition into clarity and breakthrough! 💡🤝 #Kinsman #Team #CustomerSuccess #Pillar #Breakthrough #FoundationalTenet #CEO #CFO #CPA

In part two of our discussion with Daniel Tagliatela, we dig further into not only the process of evaluating and acquiring a business, but the mindset, persistence, and approach necessary to push through the challenges that come along the journey. Most progress looks like a straight line of growth when in the rear view mirror, however, very few if any paths upward every really evolve this way. Strong character or an easy journey - From our experience in business and those we work with on a daily basis, we still don't believe you can have both. #hillviewpartners

One of the most important aspects of a successful business is putting people first. As someone who had the privilege of working under Angela Ahrendts' leadership during the Apple Retail revamp in 2015, I can attest to the power of a human-first culture. Focusing on our people not only exceeded expectations, but it also created a sense of belonging, security, and growth potential that is vital to feeling fulfilled at work. It's unfortunate that not all companies prioritize their people, but we can all learn from Angela's successful business model. People > Profits isn't just a nice sentiment, it's a trillion dollar business model. Life's too short to accept anything less. Let's strive to create a culture where people come first, and watch our businesses thrive. Thank you, Angela, for showing us the way. #PeopleFirst #BusinessSuccess #AngelaAhrendts

🌟 Spotlight on Success: Client Testimonial 🌟 I am incredibly grateful for the feedback from Seth Damski, Managing Partner at Old City Capital, about their experience working with us at Gina P Group: "Our business was stuck on a plateau until we hired Gina to help us break through to the next level. We were competent within a narrow sphere of activity but we had atrophied with dependence on just a few primary producers. We had no focus on a unifying Vision and little process to continue our historic success, let alone to break through to the next level. We are now an efficient machine with much better performance from our resources, some of which were underperforming before Gina came on board. We are on our way to running as a highly efficient machine with significantly increased horsepower. We were able to recruit a world class level of talent to our organization after Gina helped us to up our game. This is very substantial to a talent-driven business like ours." To my clients, your success stories are what inspire me daily. Thank you for your trust and for allowing me to be part of your incredible journey. #ClientSpotlight #TransformationalJourneys #StrategicGrowth #ListeningLeaders #GinaPaoloniGroup #ClientTestimonial #Grateful #LeadershipCoaching #BusinessGrowth

In my new series, "We Need to Talk," I break down five things business owners and executives can learn from this Kendrick Lamar v. Drake beef. Watch-> https://lnkd.in/eGDDNVTn
