Tools For Every Day Leaders & Managers With Leadership Coach Kris Plachy

Kris talks with Angela Kim, founder and owner of Savor Beauty. They discuss what motivates Angela and what has been the most challenging aspect to growing and scaling her business. Angela Jia Kim’s passion for beauty began with her mom. “Koreans are obsessed with their skin, and my mom always had something new sent over from her sisters in Seoul,” she says. “I would play with her creams that were filled with ingredients like gold and silkworm cocoons.” Angela spent her early career as an award-winning concert pianist, until one day, onstage in front of hundreds of people, a so-called natural lotion she had applied made her break out in hives. Horrified, she began to study ingredients and craft her own skin care products in her kitchen. “I added luxury ingredients with tremendous skin benefits like champagne, caviar, and truffles,” she says. “I infused them with organic extracts for anti-aging results.” She started gifting these products to friends, and they wanted to buy them as gifts for their friends. She b

As a visionary, you have tons of ideas all the time. But in order to up-level your business, you have to focus on your zone of genius instead of your zone of excellence. Here’s how. What you'll find in this episode: When you grow and become more successful, your discipline with your brain has to increase. Identify your revenue goal for the year and the plan to make that happen. When you have new ideas, use your goal and plan as your filter. Visionaries tend to burn out team members. Visionary constraint reminds us that, in order to achieve what we want, we have to be willing to go “all in” on the belief that what we want to achieve is possible. Be willing to say “no” from abundance instead of saying “yes” from scarcity. Honor your ideas with a notebook and vet those ideas with someone you allow to tell you “no.” © 2019 Kris Plachy Visit: KrisPlachy.com Email: support@leadershipcoachllc.com Facebook group How to Lead @KrisPlachy on Twitter Kris on LinkedIn Produced by Podcast Prowess

In order to move past those stuck spots as an entrepreneur, you have to be willing to work on yourself. You need to do some stretch assignments in your mind about what’s next. Here is a series of questions I’d like you to think about as a woman who is leading a business and a team. What you'll learn from this episode: Who are you in this role as a leader? What do you find is easy and what is difficult? How are you different today than when you first started your business? What do you love about what you do in your business? What are you like to work for? What do you want to be like to work for? What’s your philosophy around paying people money? What expectations do you have of people who join your team? © 2019 Kris Plachy Visit: KrisPlachy.com Email: support@leadershipcoachllc.com Facebook group How to Lead @KrisPlachy on Twitter Kris on LinkedIn Produced by Podcast Prowess

Kris talks with Laura Patrick, founder of Kids Physio Group. They discuss what it’s like being a solopreneur with one location and evolving into a leader managing five clinics and 35 employees. Laura Patrick (nee Turner) was born and raised in North Vancouver, BC Canada. She is the founder and owner of Kids Physio Group - Canada's largest chain of private pediatric physical therapy clinics. With a passion for sports, she first graduated from UBC’s Human Kinetics (Exercise Science) program in 2001 before continuing on to receive her Masters in Physiotherapy from McMaster University in 2003. Laura founded Kids Physio Group in 2006 in the humblest of surroundings. After 3 years working in the public system with school-aged kids, she recognized a need for all children to have access to trained pediatric physiotherapists in clinic space designed just for them. In the past few years, Laura has stepped back from clinical work. Although she still loves taking on the occasional baby motor milestone assessment and the

There are several qualities that drive you and your entrepreneurial spirit. Here are some suggestions for avoiding wasting your brain space and your time dragging people along because they can’t handle working with you. What you'll learn from this episode: Founders have high expectations and low tolerance for mistakes. They’re incredibly generous and want to recognize and reward people who work for them. They’re visionaries and they change their minds a lot. It’s hard to earn their trust, and that can feel like micro-management. Founders are "swoopers" and they always will be.  Sometimes they forget to say thank you and they can be very direct. They move so fast. Founders must hire people with “a maturity of spirit” who have enough independence to take action and yet enough humility to not take it personally when they’re told they did it wrong and need to do it again. © 2019 Kris Plachy Visit: KrisPlachy.com Email: support@leadershipcoachllc.com Facebook group How to Lead @KrisPlachy on Twitter Kris on Link

Thinking about your employees as human capital instead of an incurred expense will totally change the way you run your business and the results you achieve. What you'll learn from this episode: Capital is the assets that add to the long-term wealth of a company.  Instead of thinking of someone as an expense you need to incur, think of them as an asset and an investment into your wealth. In preparing to make such an investment, first ask yourself, “What is the result I’m trying to achieve with this role?” Second, ask yourself, “How will I track and measure the results of the role to make sure I’m achieving those results?” Third, “Have I clearly defined this asset’s job?” The four things you’ll stop doing as a result of thinking of employees as human capital. © 2019 Kris Plachy Visit: KrisPlachy.com Email: support@leadershipcoachllc.com Facebook group How to Lead @KrisPlachy on Twitter Kris on LinkedIn Produced by Podcast Prowess

I coach female entrepreneurs and help them overcome their challenges. I have found that there are five key things that entrepreneurs struggle with. Here they are - along with their solutions. What you'll learn from this episode: The first challenge is failure to lead.  Second is failure to define the game. Third, not having very clear expectations as it relates to what you pay people. Fourth, thinking down instead of up and out. Lastly, not cutting the ties and continuing to drag parts of your business along that no longer serve the bigger goals you have. © 2019 Kris Plachy Visit: KrisPlachy.com Email: support@leadershipcoachllc.com Facebook group How to Lead @KrisPlachy on Twitter Kris on LinkedIn Produced by Podcast Prowess

For most women, when we are invited to study leadership the teachers, scholars, authorities and models are primarily… men. We are indoctrinated from the time we are born that men are the leaders and that natural male characteristics are the strengths you must also possess to be a good leader. Powerful. Strong. Authoritative. Direct. Assertive. Decisive. These and so many more are attributes that are typically associated with the male model of a leader. And so, for the better part of the last one hundred years as women have made their way into the fold, in a variety of leadership roles, we have learned and studied to walk the way of a men to achieve success. Women dismiss their own knowing because we’ve been so indoctrinated in male leadership models. We dismiss what we know for what others tell us to be and how to be seen. There is another way to lead. To be in alignment. To not feel like an imposter. It’s time for the reimagining of leadership. That’s not to disparage any of the progress that has come before
