Show notes

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. The Rosewood Group helps organizations strengthen leadership, align teams and build healthy workplace cultures. Through consulting and training, they guide businesses in clarifying vision, improving operations and developing people to support long-term growth. Founder, Victoria Bowman, joins us with more. Victoria Bowman: The way an organization is run affects far more than profit. It affects the people inside it. When leadership, teams and operations are misaligned, performance suffers. But when they are aligned, organizations can operate at their highest potential. I’ve spent my career and education studying the psychology and business practices that shape leadership, culture and long term success. At The Rosewood Group, we focus on the often invisible factors that determine whether an organization thrives or struggles. We work to align people, processes and strategy so teams have clarity, leaders build trust, and execution becomes stronger. The Rosewood Group partners with organizations across industries, and we have a special place in our work for nonprofits. By offering specialized pricing, we help nonprofits function as intended and expand the impact they make in their communities. When organizations get this right, everyone benefits.

Speaking on Business: Huntsman Mental Health Foundation Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Huntsman Mental Health Foundation raises funds and awareness to transform how the world treats and supports mental health. As the fundraising arm for Huntsman Mental Health Institute, it expands research, care and services to those who need them. President, Miranda Barnard, joins us with more. Miranda Barnard: Most Americans believe we’re in a mental health crisis. One in every two people will qualify for a mental health diagnosis in their lifetime, but just 2 percent of philanthropic dollars go to mental health causes. Huntsman Mental Health Foundation is working to change that – and we’re making it easier than ever for Utahns to work together to make the biggest difference for our community. Every leader and team member of every company in our state will have employees, customers, neighbors, family and friends who will struggle with mental health. And today, suicide remains a leading cause of death among Utah youth. Nobody – especially a child — should die from a mental health issue. But these statistics are not just alarming – they are a call to action. Join us at Huntsman Mental Health Foundation. We’re partnering with Utah businesses to transform the way mental health is treated, cared for and researched forever. Derek Miller: Huntsman Mental Health Foundation continues to lead a statewide call to action, uniting businesses and communities to transform mental health care, research and outcomes.

Show notes

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. For the past eight years, Wasatch Security Awareness has partnered with organizations across the Wasatch Front, helping them better understand cybersecurity risks and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. Owner, Matt Groves, joins us with more. Matt Groves: Most business risk today has very little to do with technology, and everything to do with people. At Wasatch Security Awareness, that’s exactly where we focus — because most problems don’t start with broken systems, they start with the everyday choices people make at work. That’s why we provide customized cybersecurity testing and live training. Real conversations with real people, not just another video everyone clicks through. When people can ask questions and see how threats show up in their day-to-day work, the lessons stick and behavior starts to change. We also help organizations make sense of artificial intelligence. Our AI literacy training helps teams safely implement AI into the workflows they already use — saving time, improving efficiency and supporting better decisions. For Utah businesses, awareness isn’t just about reducing risk — it’s about building stronger, more resilient teams. The organizations that thrive tomorrow will be the ones who prepare their people today. Derek Miller: Wasatch Security Awareness continues helping Utah businesses navigate cybersecurity challenges, stay informed on emerging technologies, and reduce risk through education and awareness.

Speaking on Business: RSG Performance Mar 12, 2026

Show notes

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Based in Salt Lake City, RSG Performance helps leaders and teams excel under pressure. Using behavioral science, mindfulness and performance strategies, they improve decision making, collaboration and overall effectiveness guiding organizations to thrive. Here to share insights is Co-founder Brad Manuel. Brad Manuel: Most of us assume leadership is about having all the answers. But lately, we’ve been noticing something different. The leaders who are truly effective aren’t rushing to fix everything — they’re slowing down and paying attention to what’s actually happening first. Noticing when a team feels tense instead of engaged. Noticing when reactions come from habit rather than intention. Noticing when “busy” quietly replaces “effective.” Here’s a simple experiment for anyone listening today: before your next meeting, pause for ten seconds and ask yourself one question — what’s the temperature in the room right now? Not the agenda. Not the outcome. The human temperature. Because awareness changes behavior faster than motivation ever will. The best leaders don’t always have to move first. Sometimes, the most powerful move is simply to slow down, pay attention, and see clearly. That moment of clarity can transform how the team thinks, feels, and performs. Derek Miller: To learn more about approaches like these and how they can transform your team, visit RSGPerformance.com. Their tools and insights help leaders slow down, see clearly, and create engaging environments. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business. Originally aired: 3/12/26

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Sutherland Institute is a Utah-based, nonpartisan think tank that brings people together to explore practical policy ideas focused on strong families, individual freedom and responsible solutions that benefit communities across the state. Executive Director Derek Monson, joins us with more. Derek Monson: America's approaching 250th anniversary is both a celebration and a reminder that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” Sutherland Institute has worked for 30 years to keep Utah a place where the foundations of freedom remain broadly popular, where Utah’s model of strong families, vibrant faith communities, free enterprise and a deep respect for constitutional government can be an example to the nation. In a time of polarizing political divides, Sutherland is using commonsense principles to bring diverse perspectives to the same table and build coalitions that enact and defend sound laws – helping families and individuals thrive, and promoting opportunity for all. The present moment demands that we rise above partisan considerations to nurture the ideas of freedom in Utah and help the American experiment to succeed for another 250 years. At Sutherland Institute we build up the constitution and the institutions that make us free. Derek Miller: By bringing people together around shared values and practical solutions, Sutherland Institute plays a vital role in keeping Utah strong and resilient. Their work helps communities thrive while preserving freedom. Learn more about their impact at SutherlandInstitute.org. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
