System & Soul

What if a sense of BELONGING in an organization drove better RESULTS for the business? Reggie Brock and Benj Miller sat down to discuss how a person's sense of belonging creates unique value for a business. Belonging = engagement Engagement = results Results = more wins for the WE Listen in: https://lnkd.in/eXzyE-zr #systemandsoul #leadership #teamdynamics #engagement

To me, a #PeopleFirstCulture is essential. Without your people, you wouldn't have a company. 5 things to be sure you're prioritizing: 1: Open Communication 📣 Open, honest, and frequent communication builds trust and ensures everyone is on the same page. Openly communicate the WHY behind your actions — when your team can get behind the WHY with you, powerful progress can be made. Tip 2: Listening to Your Team 🗣 Encourage feedback and active listening to create a culture where everyone feels heard and valued. Create opportunities for different voices to be heard and valued, and celebrate the unique perspectives each person brings. For this to work, feedback cannot be stigmatized in any way — after all, it is a gift to receive. Tip 3: Professional Growth 📈 Invest in your team’s development by providing opportunities for training, mentoring, and career advancement. What a gift to get to support them in their personal and professional growth. Listen to the areas they want to excel in and be on the lookout for opportunities that match. Tip 4: Recognizing and Rewarding 🎉 Do you know what really motivates each of your team members? You should! Acknowledge hard work and achievements regularly in a way that is meaningful to them. Recognition can be a powerful motivator and helps to build a positive and appreciative work environment. Tip 5: Work-Life Balance ⚖️ Get ahead of burnout and proactively encourage a healthy work-life balance by offering flexible work arrangements, generous PTO, and well-being initiatives. Show that you care about your team’s overall health and happiness both in and out of the office. Prioritizing your people and your culture makes all the difference — people can tell when they're truly cared for vs when they're being used as pawns. #culture #leadershipdevelopment

Well deserved! Great job, Benj Miller! #systemandsoul #businesscoaching #entrepreneurship

"soul" is really hard to put into words. It means something different for every business, but it's also universal. For the last month, we've been working on how to show instead of tell you what System & Soul is all about. I think we nailed it. Enjoy! 😊 #systemandsoul #founder #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness

How we define leadership at #systemandsoul:

Yesterday, I got a reMarkable 2 tablet. I was looking for something more organized than my trusty leather journal with its refillable notebooks, which I would fill up without knowing where things were, and less distracting than an iPad Pro with its constant messages, notifications, and internet temptations. I’m only a day into using it, but so far, I L-O-V-E it. Some smart friends like Scott Ritzheimer and Josh Schrock swear by carrying a writing tablet in their meetings when they’re consulting and coaching entrepreneurs. And in the less than a day that I’ve owned it, I’ve bumped into Shaylan Hurley and Ryan Burt, who are raving fans and have been giving me a crash course on the cool stuff it can do. Have you tried an e-ink tablet like this? What’s been your experience? I’d love to hear your favorite tips and tricks for making the most of it! PS, a few of my scribbles about what i mean when I say ‘work-life integration.’ And s/o to Benj and McKenzie for helping me realize why most business frameworks were lacking for me.

Catching up on a busy few weeks and wanted to say how proud I am of the System & Soul community. Our #systemandsoul coaches joined us in Atlanta last week for a day and a half of deep-diving on their stories: - who they are - who they are here to serve - and how we can help #smallbusiness leaders unlock a better story I'm immensely grateful for our coaches, who they are, and all they bring to the world. 💙 Special thanks to Clay Scroggins, Heather Robertson Fortner, and David McMillian for sharing your stories!

Friends, if you're leading in any capacity, you know it's easy to get sucked into fighting fires and getting urgent stuff done. That's often what you're paid to do—keep the wheels spinning and the machine running smoothly. But is that really what you're paid to do? I want to remind you to pause today and ask yourself that question. Understand the why and what you're driving toward. If you're managing chaos, you're not creating the clarity and control you were brought in to lead. If you look across your organization, how much time and staff attention is being spent on activity that keeps you running in circles? Your next question might be, what do we need to stop doing right now? Or what do I need to do in order to stop playing defense and start playing offense? —---- We’re System & Soul.
