The Fractional Leap

There aren't huge differences on what you should ask a Fractional during an interview, but here are the top 10 questions that may help you uncover if a Fractional Executive is right for you and your company! Fractional Executives should be ready to answer these questions any time they're interviewing to work with a new client. At the Fractional Leap, we focus on making sure fractional execs can answer these questions and more!

*Me during an interview* My biggest weakness? ... Well I'm a giver. I give too much. All joking aside I really do have this huge problem of not being able to control my urge to do 'good' if I can. Next week on Wednesday October 23 at 11 AM CST, Jill Young will be hosting The Accountability Activator, a program that is is especially effective for leaders and managers that need to create a culture of accountability and grow quickly. When I saw that all proceeds from the event benefit the I Can Still Shine Foundation, (link in comments) I couldn't resist the urge to buy a ticket even though I knew I wouldn't be able to join the event. So... now that I'm finally back from QIE (Quarterly Integrator Exchange) feeling recharged from being around my PEEPS (It's an inside joke with 40 of my best friends, Troy Schuette and some of the EOS Worldwide team,) I can focus on what I wanted to do with my ticket: give it away. I would like to give away my ticket to a visionary or integrator (fractionals welcome!) whose company is running on EOS and is seeking to create a culture of accountability and all you have to do is like this post! That's it. Monday at 12 PM CST I will put every name in a randomizer and will message the winner! Tag your favorite implementers to help with the reach! Happy Friday! The picture has nothing to do with the post, it's just a picture from QIE because I love Texas, my T-group, and QIE: Raquel Castillo, MBA Grandi Washington, Rhonda Stoddard, CPA, PMP (not pictured: Randy Bennett) #eosworldwide #integrator #visionary #entrepreneur #thefractionalleap

I've completed another trip around the sun. ?? Some people hate getting older, but in my family we LOVE birthdays. Getting older is a beautiful thing in my culture! Anyway, here are three things I've learned and embraced as guiding principles as I've gotten older: 1?? Leadership is more about serving others than it is about you. True leaders empower their teams to SHINE and succeed. 2?? Success doesn't come overnight. It requires consistent effort, resilience, and sometimes, learning from failures. 3?? Balance is crucial. While hard work is important, taking care of your mental and physical health is equally vital for long-term success. Eat right, get some sun, and take the breaks! ???????? ?????? ???????? ???????????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ??????????????? -------- My name is Stephany Day, COO of KIP Search and Founder of The Fractional Leap.
