This is your host Kyle Gorman and I am here to tell you about an exciting new resource that we will be providing. It's called the Employer Blueprint Community. This is a mastermind designed to provide you an accountability and coaching group to develop and lead a high performing team.
Through the course of this mastermind, we're going to be covering topics like how we coach under-performers. How do we motivate top performers? How do we allow sociability with our team without losing control? How do we conduct positive interviews and how do we lead employee meetings and reviews? The very first topic we're going to be discussing, which is relevant to the challenging times we're in right now, is how do we manage a remote team and lead through crisis?
This first meeting is to be on March 20th, it will be through a zoom video call so it doesn't matter where you are in the country. You could join us in this meeting. If this is something that you'd like to check out, I would highly encourage you to reach out to me.
I'll give you all the details so you can jump on and check it out.
You can contact me directly, kyle@gormancompanies. Com.
Check out this group, it will do amazing things on developing an incredible team around you.

The Employer Blueprint Podcast is honored to present Liz Kislik. Liz is the President of Liz Kislik Associates LLC where she is an Executive Coach, Facilitator, and Speaker. According to her LinkedIn profile, Liz also gives professional advice as a contributor to the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Entrepreneur, as well as a speaker for TEDx. Liz also has more than 30 years experience advising many companies such as American Express, Orvis, and The Girls Scouts.
Liz started her professional career after college where she worked for a small Marketing Agency. It was there that Liz learned a lot about not only Marketing, but Management. Because of a situation where a manager was away form work on a maternity leave, Liz became responsible for multiple employees and promoted regularly because of her willingness to learn new skills pertaining to many jobs in the company. This led to opportunities to manage a 300 person call center, as well as being an Executive VP by age 29. Later the company change directions and Liz decided to also change directions and start her own business. 30 years later she is still a successful entrepreneur who has made a career from helping others.
Liz recalls an instance in her role as a leader of a team when people didn’t start working until after 9AM, and she was expecting them to begin at an earlier time. The employees would show up on time, however they would spend the first few hours getting coffee, talking, and sharpening pencils. Rather than get mad and demand the results she wanted, Liz decided to take a different approach, and she made sure their pencils were sharpened before the employees got there in the morning. This let the team know that Liz was supporting them and encouraged them to get started earlier.
“Looking at what’s happening. Letting it bother you. Not getting stuck in being bothered. Thinking, what would I actually do about this, and looking for a way to be a service that acknowledges the people who work for you.” - Liz Kislik on motivating her team.

This week’s episode of the Employer Blueprint Podcast we are extremely honored to present Grant Botma. Grant is the founder of Stewardship, and Culture Course. It was through Stewardship, a financial services firm that helps its clients with lending, insurance, and investment advice, that Grant became very successful and learned to build a business by loving people and providing excellent service. With that growth came the need to hire employees and Grant found himself challenged with finding the right team of individuals who could be self directed so that he could continue growing the business. Stewardship was already operating with a small team when one of Grant’s key employees wanted to quit and follow his passion for mission work over seas. This is when Grant took a hard look at himself, his leadership style, and his company's culture. Through much research and the success of implementing strategies into his own business, Grant founded an online course called Culture Course, a system created to help business owners build a team of thriving employees.
Stewardship has been named one of Inc. 5000 Fasted Growing Companies in America. Grant Botma has also earned several awards such as Top Agent Magazine's Cover Agent, Top 35 Entrepreneurs Under the Age of 35, and is a number one Best Selling Author on Amazon.
