During the latter part of the first day, Radical Guidance Consulting President Randy Nemchin joined as the guest speaker. Nemchin’s presentation focused on various strategies for establishing and upholding alignment and accountability within teams. Assessing whether a team is aligned involves observing behaviors, adhering to core values and gauging feedback from customers regarding the company’s performance. Do the values align with how a company wants to identify? Do the employees believe in the values? Without alignment, people will do what they want.
Nemchin also kicked off the second day of meetings with discussion on the concept of work-life integration. Work-life integration is the practice of allowing employees to coordinate their personal and professional lives in a way that is complementary and fulfilling to both sets of responsibilities. He introduced a self-assessment aimed at prompting reflection on motivations and identifying areas of improvement for a more balanced life. By setting personalized goals on where we invest our time and energy, we can achieve greater productivity, job satisfaction and employee engagement.
“Be in the present. Be aware of your trust bank. Trust is all about character, competency and the art of letting go. Work-life balance is not possible, but work-life integration is,” said Gary Myers of Intech Mechanical in Roseville, CA.
Rounding out the second day was another activity initiated by Woodall, designed to teach participants that face-to-face communication is best. Participants were asked to communicate with a partner via text, followed by a phone call, and were told to draw a photo based on their partner’s instructions. The result? Things often get lost in translation, underscoring the importance of thoughtful word choice before speaking and the practice of exercising patience.
On the final day, Rick Chowdry, President of Intech Mechanical, shared his journey of accidental success. Intech Mechanical’s humble beginnings stemmed from Chowdry’s garage, later expanding to a small second shop, and eventually flourishing into a fully-functional HVAC mechanical contractor. Chowdry highlighted a significant challenge: assuming others would operate as he did. He emphasized the importance of follow-up and accountability, along with lessons learned from this experience.
