Blue Is The New White: Episode #167

Have you ever thought to yourself “I just made a great hire” only to be let down weeks or even days later? Do you cross your fingers every time you finish an interview or send an offer letter?

We’ve all been let down and disenchanted when it comes to recruiting or finding the right people in our organization, but maybe there’s a better way.

Meet Mike Hall, with Hall & Associates, who uses applied behavioral analytics to fuel business growth through finding the right people for your organization, and aligning the people already in your organization.

Listen in to hear our discussion on how we can now use behavioral science to:

• Increase the likelihood of hiring the right people for the right roles
• Boost productivity, profitability, and topline revenue
• Communicate with those who think differently than you
• Decrease turnover and the costs associated with it
• And grow your business in a calculated way

Blue Is The New White: Episode #165

Got a wild one for you today, guys.

3 guests on the show today – 2 of them returning, 1 of them brand new.

So our returning guests, Paige Knowles and Ken “Coach” Midgett talk about some of the things they’ve been up to since the last time they were on. Of course, Paige has yet another children's book on plumbing. Truly amazing.

And Ken, getting used to being on the road to conferences and tradeshows talking about the value of education in the skilled trades.

Our new guest though, Daphne Ziegenfus, is currently a plumber at Delux Plumbing and Heating. She offers her incredible perspective on being a woman in the trade and how her employer’s company culture is welcoming of that.

We also speak about the documentary, American Plumber Stories, that featured all 3 of these incredible advocates and where you can find that.

Too much to list in an intro so keep listening!
