Welcome to the What’s Next! Podcast. I’ve met so many brilliant people as I traveled the globe and have had some fascinating conversations that I’ve wished had been recorded so I could share them with you – this podcast was a way for me to recreate those moments and let you in on some fantastic insights. My current conversations center around one objective: what’s next for companies and individuals as they look to innovate and grow. I hope these conversations inspire you as much as they have inspired me.

Reload: The Human Side of Business with Seth Godin Nov 25, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova for this What's Next! Reload.

This week I am bringing back an episode with my wonderful friend Seth Godin on the human side of business. Seth is the author of over 18 books that have been bestsellers around the world and been translated into more than 35 languages. He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership, and–most of all–changing everything. You might be familiar with his books Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, and, my favorite, Purple Cow. In addition to his writing and speaking Seth founded both Yoyodyne and Squidoo. His blog, which you can find him by typing Seth into Google, is one of the most popular in the world and he was recently inducted into the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame–one of three chosen for this honor in 2013.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… humans is sales and marketing.

TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Seth loves to talk about making something happen. He is a huge fan of doing the right thing in business. The "right thing" means not caring about stock options or your career and still caring about what you're making. He promotes focusing on service to deliver consistently and maintains that great marketers should spread ideas, not make sales. Your job as the marketer is not to sell what the factory makes, but to serve the people the company seeks to serve. This is the human side of business.

WHAT I LOVE MOST… Seth's advice for the new marketer and what to do if you feel trapped and/or like you aren't doing good work.

Reload: Servant Leadership and Building a Culture of Engagement with Ginger Hardage Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova for this What's Next! Reload.

This week I am bringing back an episode with the wonderful Ginger Hardage on Servant Leadership. Ginger recently retired as Senior Vice President of Culture and Communications at Southwest Airlines after an illustrious 25 years. She is recognized by many as a foremost authority on building and sustaining organizational culture, and during her time at Southwest, the airline experienced 22 consecutive years on FORTUNE's "Top 10 Most Admired Companies in the World" list.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders, aspiring leaders, managers, and anyone interested in leading effectively and building a successful and organizational culture.

TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Happy employees make customers happy. When customers are happy they return. This is what helps you successfully take care of your shareholders. Too often organizations start backward, focus too much on pleasing shareholders at the expense of everything else. In order to build a successful organization that takes care of its employees and by extension its customers, it is important to address three main points. First, it behooves you to define your company culture and the values that matter to your organization and how you will live those out. Second, it is important to analyze and establish what makes your distinct purpose and value set unique. Third, you must focus on leadership alignment with your values–how are you as a leader, or your organization's leaders living out the values of the company. Successful, servant leadership starts from the top down, and how we act backs-up what we say.

WHAT I LOVE MOST… Speaking to Ginger, who has successfully driven this type of culture at an iconic organization like Southwest, about the power of focusing on your employees. Great advice on how to navigate the soft side

If you can pick up on key signals when these events are still in their gradual phases, it is your opportunity to take your business to new heights. But, just important to know? Staying flat is not an option.
