COO Alliance, Phoenix, AZ (2022)

Comments

Start your Monday off smiling! I love Mondays because it’s a fresh start to a new week. I’ve had time to think about last week, where I went right, what I did wrong, what lessons I’ve learned, and how I can improve this week using Kaizen.

Every week I learn something new and I feel like I’ve shed a part of my old skin and stepping into a new version of self. Last week I got to meet and talk to some incredible people (a gentleman in Hawaii who owns a luxury residential and commercial business with a son who retired from the Chicago White Sox and a business owner of a marketing agency with two other businesses in the casual dining and nonprofit space helping the under serve community), make time for self care with The Root Cause Yoga with incredible women Asian Women in Business - Southern California, spend time with my girl Jenny Chang, onboard 5 new COO Alliance members, create an SOP, made time to see my long term care doctor Forward to set health goals for the year and plan a time to do all my cancer screenings, had a reunion with my friend from high school, submit to one media interview, facilitate 10 introductions, finish an interview for the Camera Ready event, model for an outdoor photoshoot for @SteeleHeroesMedia, I got to check out three new coffee shops, record my first ever voice over for an investor video, got voice coaching lessons by McCall Jones, and I was able to help at least 3 people last week. Last week was a very fulfilling week. I worked everyday last week, and it didn’t feel like work at all.

Firing Someone Means Your Hiring Is Wrong

If you have to fire (especially if you have to fire A LOT), your hiring process needs an overhaul!

You hired them, so what is it that you missed in that process?

04/20/2022

If your PR team is hiding behind their desks, like Gollum from Lord of The Rings, you need to re-evaluate your PR strategy!

According to a survey from Vitis, only 37% of journalists use wires daily while 30% use wires occasionally and 21% never use them.

This means that a huge chunk of journalists never or rarely see your PR team’s press releases! If they don’t get seen, they don’t get published.

Here's how to fix this.
