  • It's Your Business: The Upside of Downside Thinking
    Aug 8 2024

    Optimism by itself is not good enough for decision-making. It's the balance of optimism and pragmatism that leads to sound decisions.

    Creative solutions have constraints. One way to identify the impact the constraints have on a big business decision is to consider the downsides. Finding out the root cause is still elusive, or continuing some part of the work will hold you back.

    It takes courage to face what could go wrong. But worst-case scenario exploration is not just about identifying weaknesses, it's about building a strong foundation to tackle challenges, making you more prepared and resilient.

    Tune in to this "It’s Your Business" program with three people passionate about consistent action to create accountability. You will hear from Quentin Ortega, Founder and Lead Consultant at QCO Consulting; Christy Maxfield, President and CEO at Purpose First Advisors; and your host Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction,, discuss the upside of downside thinking to achieve success.

  • Skyrocket Your Business with Strategic Prioritization
    Aug 1 2024

    Your success comes from your ability to sustain growth over time by ensuring alignment of today's actions with your long-term goals. It can be challenging, and preparation is a word that brings a lackluster response at best; yet, without preparation, you don't know how the resources being used today can influence the outcomes you want to achieve.

    Foundationally, there are three things that create sustainable business growth. First, what are nonnegotiables? When two things have equal importance, one is always put first. Not only is that the priority, but also it indicates the way work is really done. Second, protected time dedicated to strategy every week. Specifically, at least two consecutive hours in a row. Third, adaptability is a competitive advantage. More than what people can do to adapt, it is the collective response and adaptation of the team that truly makes a difference.

    In this program, Jess Dewell, a Strategic Growth Consultant at Red Direction and the host of the BOLD Business Podcast, shares valuable insights on identifying your business's core to achieve sustainable growth. She also discusses strategies for managing growth while addressing the uncertainties that often come with complex business challenges.

    Additionally, Jess explores how a growth strategy can set the course for a company to remain competitive in the market, outlines the three main concepts behind a successful growth strategy, and emphasizes the crucial components for navigating change and overcoming challenges.
