1:1 WITH BIANCA LAGER
Bianca Lager helps business leaders through tricky situations.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK?
"I'm the founder of a small e-commerce startup, and I've been working around the clock to get our business off the ground. Recently, I hired a close friend to handle our marketing and social media efforts, but I'm starting to have doubts about their performance and whether they're the right fit for the role. I'm hesitant to terminate their employment, as I value our personal relationship. However, I'm concerned that their lack of productivity may be holding the company back. Is there a way I can get anonymous advice on how to handle this situation without damaging our friendship?"
1:1 AGENDA NEXT WEEK:
"I started my business with a clear vision of what I wanted it to become, but as we’ve grown, I feel like we’re straying from that original mission to chase more immediate revenue. I want to get back on track, but I’m worried about how my team will react to a shift in priorities. How do I steer the business back in line with my long-term vision without freaking everyone out? In the past I've always hated indecisive and ever changing bosses. But I look around and hardly recognize this business and feel like a sell out. Am i the problem, is it me? (shout out taylor swift, lol)."
??? WEBINAR REPLAY ???
ICYMI Last Week: Rewatch IQubed Advisors Kevin Bachman and Jason Morris in a conversation with experts Stacy Holscher and Clayton Jorge of Latin America Backgrounds. With a local population of almost 670,000,000 (that's right 670 MILLION!) and a huge growing demand for coming from US companies for background checks of both migrants and US citizens who live in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, the Latin America region is shrouded in misconceptions and nuanced local challenges. With over 30 years of boots-on-the-ground experience exclusively in the Latin America region, Stacy and Clayton are sharing the secrets, tips and cautionary tales of what you need to know about selling background checks from Latin America.
