Lisa Askwith - "Engaging Your People for Success" IBGR.Network - PROFIT Radio. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow or exit a business.GROW WITH US. Introduction You have a dream. You’re sitting on an idea that you can turn into a great entrepreneurial journey. What if you knew how to develop and grow a sustainable business - fast, even in today’s (post) pandemic economy? That is exactly what we will be sharing in the Season 3 programming here on the IBGR Network. Proven strategies delivered by seasoned business owners, sharing what works and what doesn’t work at each of the six stages of business growth. From concept, through startup, to maturity and even through to how to exit your successful business. Whatever stage you’re at in your business, this is the place to learn and grow – and to pick up tips on how to do what you do – better! People are the powerhouse behind everything, they are an intrinsic part of your business, and your everyday life. If you can't engage and work with them in a mutually beneficial style then everything suffers.

Whilst the business, or product, or service, is still vitally important, it is the people that will ultimately make or break your company's success. Many Business owners forget this, and get too heavily involved in metrics, ignoring the empathetic leadership that is needed to build a successful company culture. Culture is king especially now that the new generation of workers want to feel connected, valued and able to make a difference in their organisations…...or they move quickly. Show Objectives Today's show has a singular purpose, to provide an overview of what you can expect for Season 3 in the area of People Performance for Stage V companies. Even if you’re not at this stage, you may pick up some ideas for your business and hear what you can look forward to as you build the business to its full potential. What You Need to Know
