Hugh Ballou

Hugh Ballou Orchestrating Success

Have you ever watched a musical conductor at work? It’s leadership in motion. There is never an instant of indecision or a moment of doubt. The musical conductor is always in control. This may sound and seem like a dictatorship, but it is not, Ballou says. Nor is it a democracy, as a single person directs the will of others and the artistic vision that will shape the result. On a corporate team, the leader articulates a vision through carefully crafted goals and empowers and directs key players in their role to the outcome and success. In either case, the leader inspires the maximum result by inspiring and empowering the team of participants. If the leader is open and straightforward, the team will engage and do their best to succeed. But if the leader is ill-prepared, guarded and uncommunicative…the result is subpar (or perhaps a disaster). Each player is highly skilled, and each person contributes the best of their unique talent. Together, the team creates a result that far surpasses what any individual could produce on their own. If the leader tells an expert oboe player how to play oboe – by the next season that player will likely be gone. But if he or she can bring out the greatest creativity and enthusiasm in the player, magic ensues. * *From Forbes: What Doest a Musical Conductor Know About Leadership

Ballou's Four Leadership Principles

Know the Score: Foundations - Personal Values, Vision & Goals
Hire the Best: Relationships - Build & Maintain Important Relationships
Rehearse for Success: Systems - Lead with Effective Process
Value the Rests: Balance - Work, Play, Study, Rest - Always Have a Coach

Irwin Grossman

Irwin is Chairman of Delta Payment Solutions and is President of Delta Payment Cooperative. His 40+ years of consulting experience is key to Delta’s consultative selling approach. About Delta Payment The world of payment processing is changing very rapidly with technology advancement impacting both merchants and consumers alike. With all of these changes in technology, it’s hard for merchants to keep pace and know they are optimizing their relationships with customers and vendors while maintaining control over costs. Part of Delta’s mandate includes our responsibility to continue searching for the best innovation in payment processing, vetting these new technologies/applications and educating our members on how best to utilize both existing and new technologies for both cost savings and improvements to their businesses. Size matters, and so does buying power. The larger you are as a customer, you can achieve better pricing and access to products and services. By creating a cooperative, where companies can combine their purchasing clout, everyone can win with lower costs than they could achieve on their own. In the United States, there are over 40,000 cooperatives, with even multibillion-dollar companies joining cooperatives with other companies to achieve savings and better access. As an example, Visa was started as a cooperative of banks. We use this cooperative business model to provide our members with significantly better pricing than they could achieve on their own, access to a broader and better portfolio of products and services and rebates of a minimum of 50% of the commission that we earn from providing these services. This is unheard of in the payment processing industry – and to some even counter intuitive – but it provides our members with yet another way to enhance the profitability of their businesses. Irwin is Chairman of Delta Payment Solutions and is President of Delta Payment Cooperative. His 40+ years of consulting experience is key to Delta’s consultative selling approach.

Karen Mangia

I help customers around the world solve complex, strategic business problems and position themselves for future growth. I have a deep understanding of the customer experience--inside and out--from leading global Voice of the Customer portfolios for Fortune 50 companies and 20+ years of consulting directly with customers across multiple industries and segments. In my role as VP of Customer and Market Insights at Salesforce, I engage with key customer accounts and collaborate to develop innovative strategies to address their key business challenges. I help translate feedback into actions to increase customer retention, growth, and satisfaction. My passion for customer success began as an account manager at AT&T, where focusing on customers’ goals led to exceptional success. I consistently outperformed production and revenue targets by double and triple digits (up to 522%), growing revenue up to 51% YOY. At Cisco, I led a diverse sales team of technical and channels professionals to achieve a multi-million dollar impact. I created Cisco’s first Partner Experience Team, a cross-functional global initiative that made it easier and more profitable for partners to work with Cisco. I then led a global Insight Innovation team overseeing Customer Satisfaction & Experience, Diversity Business Practices, and Global Offset & Countertrade. From internal Salesforce contacts to executives in hundreds of top-tier accounts, I leverage my extensive network to share best practices and inspire customers. In addition to being a hands-on practitioner and industry-recognized Voice of Customer leader, I speak 30 times per year, reaching an annual audience of 15,000-20,000 people. My love of music and support of education are reflected in my board memberships with the Indianapolis Symphony and Ball State University. I've published three books: Listen UP!: How to Tune in to Customers & Turn Down the Noise (Wiley, 2020), Working From Home: Making the New Normal Work For You (Wiley, 2020), and Success With Less: Releasing Obligations & Discovering Joy (Marie St. Press, 2016). I delivered my first TEDx talk in 2019. Twitter: @karenmangia https://karenmangia.com/ Success With Less: http://successwithless.net/

Kat Mische Elle

I began my first publication when I was ten years old. I called it News on the Mountain, a collection of stories handwritten on yellow construction paper. Raised in a rural area on the west coast with only twelve homes (our nearest neighbor was a 1/2 mile away) and growing up without a cell phone, iPad, Facebook, or Instagram, my imagination grew organically. As a child, I felt somewhat isolated. I wanted to connect with people and learn about their lives, so I asked my mom to drive me to our neighbors’ houses. I would ask them to share a story with me, which allowed me to get to know the people in the area. My mom thought it was silly, but she did it anyway.

After doing the neighborhood rounds, I would write everything I could remember about those conversations onto pieces of yellow construction paper from my fourth grade class. I created a little booklet with something shared about each of them and delivered it to everyone who had spoken with me. I saw the value in connecting people who might not have taken the time to connect on their own. I watched my neighbors get to know each other a little more by reading my childhood version of a magazine. Friendships began. Others strengthened. I felt like I was doing a good thing. After high school, my vision expanded, and I wanted to become a photojournalist. The truth is, I didn’t know which path to take to make that happen, so I let life’s paths lead me. And I paid attention to each step as I explored colorful, exciting, new directions along the way. You know how it goes. Those “directions” bring us to broader spectrums of ourselves and prepare us for the dreams we want to bring to life. My journey led me to create the media company Inspired Success Media and the publication Inspired Success Magazine. Inspired Success Magazine is designed to transform people’s lives, so they think better, choose better, and take action. We’re on a mission to share inspirational stories: the trials, lessons, and wisdom that lead to success. We offer practical tips and tools by interviewing thought leaders, professionals, adventurers, entrepreneurs, and influencers so our readers can bring their visions into reality. I dedicate these publications to my family, friends, acquaintances, and everyone who unknowingly reaffirmed for me where I intended to find my place in the world. I am grateful for all the moments I have shared with people while aligning and resonating with them and all the moments that were in contrasting and opposing conversations. Every exchange has helped fortify my strength and inspiration in this life. I am forever grateful.

After spending a career working for companies that include Apple, Microsoft, BlackBerry, Intel, and others, I realized that having a strong business network was the most important thing for my career. I then started to look for relevant events to attend as I continued to build my business network. While searching for a calendar to keep me informed of upcoming events, I realized that my city, as well as almost every other city I checked, did not have a comprehensive business event calendar. This led me to start a local business event calendar that helps business professionals find and post business events in their community. We have grown to 19 cities that have a comprehensive list of networking and business events, as well as a subscription newsletter that sends a daily list of events to your inbox.

Please check for events in your area and post any events you have coming up. Look for more calendars coming in 2021 at CityBusinessCalendars.com

I connect with people, understand their story, and turn those insights into a powerful, well-executed strategy that allows them to best achieve their goal. I’m a communicator—it’s what I do. I’ve never been afraid to step outside my comfort zone and explore a new idea or challenge, which has led me to don many hats in my life — tutor, camera operator, construction worker, bartender, trivia host, comedian, blogger, marketing associate, podcast producer, PR and social media strategist. My experiences as a professional have taught me that I am most valuable because: — I don’t give up. I want to win. — If I can’t teach it, I'm going to keep researching it. — I have BIG ideas. — Everyone has BIG ideas, but not everyone communicates them. I communicate. — Great communication leads to great execution. — I’m not afraid to start the slow-clap. — When things go bad, I’ll be the one that will put in the extra time to fix it. Reach out if you want to talk— if I haven’t already beat you to the punch. Specialties: Creative direction and strategy, writing and editing, communication and presentation

Mona Vogele

Mona Vogele is a classically trained musician, former radio DJ, and veteran leader and trainer from Southwest Airlines with 20+ years of leadership and training experience. She understands the art of building an epic leadership team and what it takes behind the curtain to retain that top talent year after year. Mona's speaking engagements and teachings ring with the fervent message that success isn’t just about spearheading an operation - it’s about a genuine connection with your people. Relationship - to our work and each other - is the ultimate fundamental. To neglect its importance implies a strange expectation that you can pack the house and then bring it down with an incredible performance without rehearsal, sound check, and knowing your band. Everything I compose is poised on the subject of leadership because whether stellar or shoddy, leadership has a reverb effect that impacts everything from personal wellbeing to office culture to the bottom line. It's no small task to be in charge of the vocals and the beat... and that's what I help leaders do - find their voice, and lay down their rhythm... but make it so others can hear the music.

And in doing so, they don't just create harmony, they completely rewrite the score!

With many years of experience in the training universe, she knows a thing or two.

Viewer expectations of your materials are higher:
Dumbed-down explainer videos don’t stick.
“So what?” webinars are not enough to engage your audience.
People are tired of seeing thinly-disguised sales pitches claiming to be training.
A lengthy resource list is not going to cut it.
A video focused on features is no longer enough when clients want to know about advantages and benefits.

Additionally, it’s even more challenging to:

Showcase your value in an increasingly crowded market space.
Keep your audience engaged when there are competing demands for their attention and valuable time.
Attract the quality leads that are primed to be your target audience.

On a lifelong campaign against boring training and marketing, she figured out the answer. Great training starts with a great design.

Patti Plough

I am a woman of faith, nurse and entrepreneur. I married a wonderful soft spoken man by the name of Dan. He has been my support system in all my endeavors, even retiring from American Airlines in 2011 after 28 years of service to become the CFO of Healics Holdings. Our two grown daughters live nearby with our three grandchildren who range in age from 8-14. We love spending time with our family and we divide that time between WI and Key West. The best of both worlds so to speak. Winters in Key West and summers enjoying our 46 acre property in northern WI. We are also the second generation to raise dachshunds. Carrying on that tradition from my parents. I Grew up in the midwest and was one of three children. We were taught to give 100% no matter what we were doing. My parents not only taught us that, but they walked it out by example. I love helping people and that started at a very young age. As I looked back over my 45 year career I realized that everything I did or continue to do involved or involves helping people in some way. In 1976 I fulfilled my life long dream of becoming a nurse and then worked for 15 years in a variety of settings before I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey. I established several successful businesses over the next 30 years which gave me extensive experience buying, selling, and running businesses. This expertise developed over time has allowed me the ability to assist and give the small business owners options for retirement or exiting their business in a dignified way. In addition I hold several board of directors’ positions including one at Healics Holdings, Inc. Milwaukee, WI. An industry-leader and 100% employee-owned ESOP Holding Company with four portfolio companies – Healics Wellness, Healics Clinics, Healics Technology and Core Staffing Group. Prior to transitioning to my BOD position at Healics, I was the President/CEO of Operations at Healics through June 2020. In that position, I implemented a continuous improvement and quality control system that contributed to the company’s high client retention rate. After transitioning to my BOD position I again found myself wanting to help others, so I launched Excel Legacy Group, LLC to assist business owners prepare for retirement or exiting their business in a dignified way. In addition, protecting their legacy, business culture and their trusted employees. I also serve on the boards of MMAC and The Granville BID and am a member of the Council of Small Business Executives in addition to supporting several non-profit organizations.

HISTORY OF SUCCESS

I established my first business, Corporate Health Planners, LLC conducting insurance physicals and investigations. At that time, I met Leigh Cord, the founder of Healics, and began selling and servicing his health risk assessment tool.

1993

While continuing to lead Corporate Health Planners, I founded a second company, Events-R-Us, LLC.

1999-2003

Events-R-Us, LLC acquires three competitors adding additional services such as a speaker’s bureau to their business portfolio and I re-named the company Speakers & Events-R-Us, LLC.

2011

When Cord retired in 2011, I partnered to purchase Healics. Becoming the President/CEO of Operations.

2011-2018

Healics acquires two competitors and merges with another. Adding additional services such as employer sponsored clinics.

2019

I spearheaded Healics becoming a 100% employee-owned ESOP. This transition is finalized in 2020.

2020

I lead the way for a new division of Healics. COVID testing solutions...which wins the Mother of invention award from MMAC’s Focus on the Future.

TODAY

I just launched Excel Legacy Group, LLC in September to assist business owners prepare for retirement or exiting their business in a dignified way. In addition, protecting their legacy, business culture and their trusted employees.

Peter Margaritis

My name is Peter Margaritis, CSP, CPA, aka "The Accidental Accountant and I am a professional speaker, educator, improv virtuoso, podcaster, author, and licensed non-practicing CPA. I work with business leaders in two ways – one, developing leadership skills through the power of improv; and two, developing financial literacy through the strengthening of business, accounting, and financial acumen. I know these two things sound diametrically opposed… but when brought together in harmony with a shared outcome of developing successful leaders and businesses – the lights come on. So, I guess you could say, in a nutshell – I switch on light bulbs.

Priscilla McKinney

I am the fifth of five girls. We traveled the world singing which involved matching dresses, puppet shows and a lot of road trips. Thirty four houses, three countries, five states, four high schools and a degree in Cultural Anthropology later, I've miraculously found my way into my most ideal place in the world - at the intersection of MARKETING, BUSINESS and MARKET RESEARCH. These early experiences made me curious about life, people, places, culture and the interconnectivity of it all. I'm totally intrigued by human behavior and our deep seated need to explain our often purely emotional decisions as logical. Asking the hard questions is interesting to me and it serves me well in as I seek to understand what makes people engage, why we buy what we buy and how we justify buying it. Whether a belief, a product or service, the human element must be understood for successful marketing. Whether as a mom, a community leader, podcast host or a boss, I'm compelled to inspire others to ask these hard questions, take risks and leave behind the status quo for the pursuit of the truth at the heart of each matter.

Ray Kober

I’m a dynamic entrepreneurial sales professional with over 30 years of experience and am passionate about helping businesses to save money while providing the best healthcare experience for their internal clients. I’ve worked in many different industries and professions, which gives me unique insights into what makes many companies unique in a way that would not be possible without my life experience. I am also a member of the C-Suite Network’s prestigious Hero Club, the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, and am active in many local events and in giving back to the community. At Benefixa, I help companies better manage their healthcare costs by applying NextGen strategies that look at managing healthcare benefits in a fundamentally different way. We play offense on healthcare! I also align my company’s financial interests with those of my customers, who include AT&T, American Express, the Uniform Firefighters Association, and many small businesses. My NextGen approach helps company executives understand their healthcare benefits as a supply chain that can be managed and optimized, rather than as a single vendor, blackbox expense they cannot control. My goal is to provide customers with the best healthcare benefits at the lowest cost. To do that, I consult with them to review their healthcare needs, determine savings goals, analyze risk tolerance and company culture, and optimize as much of the healthcare supply chain as desired. If you are interested in better managing your company’s healthcare costs while simultaneously improving your employees’ healthcare experience let’s connect.

Once leaders looked inward and defined who they are and consistently execute authentic style elements into the spaces of their lives, the last phase of I.C.U. is you. The U step is two-fold. First, it represents authenticity. Second, it is about solidifying the brand experience by prioritizing others (you) and relationships, audiences, and communities.

Since then she and her team have helped visionary, courageous leaders create a high trust culture of adult communication and high expectations that results in attracting and retaining truly great people.

Thom Singer

CEO at the Austin Technology Council. Working with the best thought leaders and visionary entrepreneurs to promote and support the Austin Tech Community. My life’s work is to share the power in business relationships, trust, and accountability. I have spent 15 years speaking to corporate and association audiences about how to cultivate meaningful connections. As a speaker, I help people make REAL connections and find more success. Business friendships (inside you company and outside your company) are the path to more opportunities. Organizations that care about employee retention should rethink how they look at the relationships that exist between employees, clients, vendors, and others in their industries. It was 1991 when I moved to Austin for a job. The intention was to remain in Texas for for three years. But soon after my wife and I arrived in the state Capital, we realized the growth oriented attitude and entrepreneurial spirit of the city made it a great place to live and raise a family. After a successful career in business development for law firms, banks, and consulting firms I started my own business as a keynote speaker and trainer for corporate and association meetings in 2009. During the pandemic I joined the team at Stanton Chase International, a leading executive search firm assisting companies to grow their senior executive teams. In everything I do, I am passionate about the power of community and collaboration. I believe that adding one person to your inner circle is more powerful than adding 1000 people to social media. My first job was working as a busboy at "The Big Yellow House Restaurant" in Monrovia, CA. It was in this early employment that I learned the importance of customizing my work for whomever I had the honor to serve. Between the vast number of customers dining in the restaurant, to the three or four wait-staff I assisted each night, it became clear that making personal connections and being engaged with other people leads to more success. My wife, Sara, and I are proud Austinites and are the parents of two highly-spirited adult daughters (and soon one math genius son-in-law).

Tim Nichols

Author | Speaker | Marketing Strategist | Influence Coach

Founder of 3 Million Percent

I train business owners and professionals in the strategies

that I used to grow my independent financial practice by 3,000,000% in 12 months

in a new town where I knew no one.

In 2012, Tim Nichols left the big-name banks and brokerage firms to open an independent financial practice in a town where he knew no one. Beginning with $0 in Assets Under Management, he had grown his practice to $3,000,000.00 in Assets Under Management within his first 12 months. He had grown his practice by 3,000,000% with no print, radio, digital, or social media advertising. It was the sole result of his “3,000,000% Process.” A firm believer in the Zig Ziglar ideology that you can have everything you want in life if you’ll help enough other people get what they want, he began mentoring other business owners to grow as he had grown. By 2018, Tim had authored a book and developed a training curriculum that helps business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals to overcome challenges of creating strategic relationships, networking frustration, marketing confusion, building credibility, and self-isolation. In April 2019, Tim found that the demand for his relationship marketing strategies had progressed into a stand-alone business that required his full attention. After 17 years as a Financial Advisor, Tim sold his financial practice to transform business professionals into dynamic influencers.
