    269: Fixing Sudden Crisis or Change with Kon Apostolopolous
    Jan 5 2025
    Kon Apostolopoulos or Coach Kon is the Founder & CEO of Fresh Biz Solutions. This Human Capital Management consulting group provides performance improvement and training solutions to help organizations develop their people, improve business results, and benefit from a comprehensive talent management strategy. He is also the author of the best-selling book, “The Engagement Blueprint: Building a Culture of Commitment and Performance.” His first book, “7 Keys to Navigating a Crisis: A Practical Guide for Emotionally Dealing with Pandemics & Other Disasters”, helped establish him as a Thinkers 360 Global Top-50 Thought Leader. When not working with business leaders, “Coach Kon” gives back to his community by developing young soccer players in local, state, and Olympic Development Programs. “How do we deal with unexpected change? And crisis can take many forms, as you know, there are personal crises, there are professional crises. There are, there's never a shortage of them. And what seems like a day-to-day kind of occurrence to some people seems it's a much bigger deal for others. And so we have to learn how to apply those skills. That Winston Churchill quote that you mentioned truly illustrates the power of resilience. And resilience is getting to that other side and knowing that you can do that.” – Kon Apostolopoulos Key Takeaways include: 1) The "Superpowers" you need to know and what to do with them when a crisis hits your business. How to harness and implement them to right the ship, maintain staff and correct course. 2) The impact of the five "Rs" – six simple actions the management team agreed to take to re-onboard and re-engage team members: ask, review, communicate, get creative, adjust, and educate. 3) The impact of A.I. on workplace culture and management: balancing technological efficiency with authentic engagement. 4) The four keys to employee engagement: valuing, connecting, empowering, and supporting—moving past pizza parties to truly enhance well-being. #employeeengagement #HR #workplaceculture #unhappyworkers #productivity #workplace #humanresource #recruiting #hiring #retention #jobhoppers #businesscrisis #crisis #hrcrisis #failingbusiness Connect with Coach Kon https://www.freshbizsolutions.com/ https://x.com/Kon_Ap https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachkon/ Connect with Manage Smarter Hosts · Website: ManageSmarter.com · LinkedIn: Audrey Strong · LinkedIn: C.Lee Smith Connect with SalesFuel · Website: http://salesfuel.com/ · Twitter: @SalesFuel · Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/salesfuel/ Learn more about your ad choices.
