Show Notes


Growing Strong Leaders And Teams To Create More Efficiency In Your Business!
That is exactly what Meredith Bell does. She is the Co-Founder and President of Performance Support Systems, a global software company based in Virginia. Besides developing award winning assessment and development tools used in all types of businesses, Meredith is the author of several books. Today, we discuss, Connect with Your Team, and Peer Coaching Made Simple co-authored with Dr. Denny Coates, her business partner of 30 years.  

The combination of both of these books used in a “learning capacity” may be one of the most important things a company owner can do to start creating a long-term positive culture and long-term efficiency in their business.  

It’s been proven that you can learn how to improve your communication skills; and in their books, Meredith and Denny share a great number of strategies. However, as Meredith will tell you, you need a support system and an ongoing discipline to master many of the skills needed to interact with others more effectively and efficiently. 

During the podcast we covered why communication skills are hard skills, not soft skills, what’s required to master a skill, and how a company can provide coaching for everyone without breaking the bank. We discussed the characteristics of great listeners and how to encourage someone to perform at the highest level. In addition to this conversation, which is filled with a number of great suggestions from Meredith, you can also go to their website and download a free resource called, “Grow Strong Leaders and Teams Facilitator Guide.” This tool explains how to set up a system of peer coaches, so you create a coaching culture in your company.

A culture value driver is one of the most important elements a business owner can have in their firm. It has value, it makes hiring the right people much easier and it creates greater potential value for the firm when it goes to market to sell. This information is valuable for people who work in groups or one on one.
