Yesterday Goenner Consulting, LLC had the privilege to host the Princeton Chamber of Commerce morning network event at the PACC office in Princeton, Minnesota. Over the past year we have been working with business leaders on TO DOs in 2022. We have had so much fun on the projects that business leaders gave us that were stuck on the bottom of their list. Over the summer our consulting practice’s services expanded when Faith became an agent for Colonial Life. Faith learned a lot about the pressure of business leaders in recruiting and retaining quality employees as many items on the bottom of TO DO lists had to do with recruiting quality employees. The voluntary employee benefits and the education provided to employees from Colonial Life can be a no cost option for business owners to make their business competitive for high-demand employees. Take some time to reflect on the following three questions from 2022. Find someone to share your answers with or feel free to send us an email at hello@goennerconsulting.com.
In 2023, lets talk employee. We are going to discuss HOT TOPICS for workplaces and their employees. Faith Goenner will partner with business owners to retain and recruit quality employees. HOT TOPICS OF THE EMPLOYEE IN 2023 BY GOENNER CONSULTING, LLC
Start now to think about how you will make 2023 the year of the employee! We would love an opportunity to talk to you about your business and how we could help. Send us an email at hello@goennerconsulting.com. You aren't alone if your TO DO LIST seems to be getting longer than shorter. Recently I have been focused on the TO DOs that were stuck on the bottom of my list. Our consulting services are focused on helping business owners and leaders check off and complete TO DOs.
Here are some tips and tricks we recommend to help you check off a TO DO today.
Dear Business Owners:
You've got this. Today is the first day after the past six weeks that I've been able to sit down and write this letter to you. I've been leading a team through an abrupt closure of our office and movement to remote working. Every day I've thought of you. You have set up a business with your passion, your own time and your own resources. Every day was hard enough without thinking there was a pandemic on the horizon. Of course, we watched movies about it and thought about it, but then one day we woke up and it wasn't a thought, it was reality. I understand that your vision is masked with uncertainty right now. I know that you are grieving so much and that you have had to watch devoted employees have their world turned upside down. You've watched your financial situation be unstable. You've tried to be nimble and pivot but you are exhausted and can't see light at the end of the tunnel. You are what inspires us to have jobs to have an income we can spend on your products and services. We still need you! You are safe reading this blog and I would like to speak to you to grab a notebook and start to write your fears, your hopes and your vision. No, we can't go back to the way your business was. You will need to go deep and see your business in two phases, short term and long term. What resources are you wishing you had right now? Make the list. What are those products and services you have dreamed about? Dig them out of the trash or file cabinet and/or write them now. This could be your season to reinvent. What are some short term goals (including down sizing) that will allow you to reach your long term vision? Today is the first day for your fresh start. As I write this I'm listening to music. Get your favorite music playing around you for inspiration. From my heart to yours. Let me know what happens from this letter. Your Vision Possible, Faith Meet Faith, Goenner Consulting, LLC and Heather, Envisioneering, LLC, who are professional development thought partners. Faith and Heather met when Faith gave up her ticket to a rural entrepreneurship conference. They connected and Faith became very interested in how Heather was impacting the success of her clients. Through Heather's work coaching Faith over the past year, here are the top 5 reasons Faith discovered why it was important for her to invest in her own professional development. 1. Discover what you are naturally good at doing.Have you ever taken the time to find out exactly what job you are good at? Most of us just take a job and then we focus on our performance within this position. If we don't know our natural talents this could be frustrating if this job isn't a good fit for us. What if you could discover what you are good at and then go find the job that fits your natural talents? 2. Develop the skill to process feedback.It takes bravery to take an assessment and then work on understanding the assessment results. All great innovation requires the skill to be able to process feedback. Investing in an assessment of who you are is a very easy way to process using feedback to make changes and/or improvements. 3. Identify your blind spots.We all have blind spots. These are weaknesses that we don't see in ourselves, but they are clear to those around us. Without the opportunity to discover your blind spots, you could find yourself not performing well in your life, both personally and professionally. Being aware of your blind spots will give you an opportunity to mitigate risk and awareness to ensure successful performance. 4. Improve your supervising skill set.When you invest in your own professional development, you increase your knowledge for leading and supervising your employees. It will give you new terminology and understanding for how you interact with your staff. This will create an opportunity for relationship improvements and successful outcomes. 5. If you don't invest in you, then who will?Do you have an interest for promotion? Are you noticing that you may not be experiencing satisfaction in your career? Would you like to find the career that brings out the best in you? If you don't invest in your professional development, then who will? Now is your time to invest in your career and your success. If you are a supervisor, this is a great opportunity to invest in your top talent. Discover Your How, Your Why and Natural Talents with Envisioneering, LLC on Thursday, March 19, 2020 from 8:00 am - 10:30 am with light refreshments at the beautiful Raven Room at the Pizza Pub in Princeton, Minnesota. The investment is $195. Space is Limited. RESERVE YOUR TICKET.
