Show Notes
In today's episode I'm delighted to re-introduce Claire Colvin. Claire has worked as a partner to business leaders and entrepreneurs of high growth businesses helping them to scale through their people. As the former Talent Director on the Board of a rapidly growing global organisation, Claire built the optimum people centred structures and systems to enable the company to significantly scale across 6 continents. Prior to that, she spent almost 15 years with an award-winning, technology SME, which operated in a highly competitive environment.
Finding great talent is the #1 reason why businesses are unable to scale. In 2019, Claire became my business partner and we set out on a journey of discovery to extensively research exemplars of scaling to identify the key attributes that made them successful.
In today's episode, Brendan and Claire talk about:
- The importance of a vision and purpose
- The difference between growing and scaling
- Removing self-limiting beliefs and the importance of psyche when scaling a business
- How to turn your fear into energy and excitement
- How recruitment has changed and how to maximise your social capital to ensure that you attract the best talent
- The importance of culture and the right Employee Value Proposition (EVP)
