Training Unleashed’s host Evan Hackel recently sat down with Danielle Mulvey, founder of a remarkable company called The All In Company that has developed systems to hire and retain only 5-star employees. Their conversation revolves around the concept of 5-star employees elevating a team and moving the company forward, to help it grow and prosper. So, what are 5-star employees? According to Danielle, the 5-start employee represents the top 15% of available talent in the market. A 5-star employee is “really that ideal candidate for the role who has the drive, the passion, maybe experience, maybe not, but the aptitudes to be successful in the role and deliver on the key responsibilities that you need for the role - and the measure of success you put to those key responsibilities.” It’s an interesting concept that starts in the hiring process—digging deep into what you need from the candidate, their aptitudes, their core values. It’s about spending time with the candidate to understand them and evaluate the fit. Danielle shares a tip on how to change your job postings to start attracting your 5-star employees today!

Our Training Unleashed podcast host Evan Hackel sat down with Crista Grasso, the creator of the Lean Out Method, a simple way to grow a business to scale in the right way, by minimizing waste and maximizing efficiencies, and a known authority on helping global businesses simplify and scale. The two discussed the importance of growing your business to the right scale.   What Do You Need to Focus on As You Scale? Crista says there are four factors to consider: Strategy, Planning, Systems and Team. One common problem is that when things are not working well, many companies assume they need to add more people. Yet the real problem could be something else: they don’t have the right systems in place. And if they pause and simplify, many companies find they can stretch their people a bit further and align them with roles that will get more from the business. Where to Focus as You Scale If you can focus on your most important goals as a company – where you really want to be and what you really want to achieve – that will help you pinpoint activities where you can reduce your energy and your resources. Unless you have clarity of vision, everything will seem like an amazing opportunity and you can invest your people, time and effort in the wrong areas. So the first step is to clarify your vision, so you engage in activities that are directionally correct.   On a Bigger Vision of Training Training plays a critically important role in helping a company grow to scale provided the company asks not only “what are we doing?” but, “why are we doing it?”   Crista’s One Biggest Tip for Members of the Training Unleashed Community “Have that clarity of vision,” Crista says. “If you know what is directionally correct for your organization, it will help you make the right decisions and help you grow to scale.” Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Training Unleashed, Evan pointed out that he has long been working remotely, and letting employees of his companies do so too, for years. He noted that since working remotely became common during the pandemic, he has lost one of his preferred tools for recruiting employees. Pre-pandemic, offering candidates the chance to work from home was highly attractive. Now, it has become routine. Kevin, from his side of the conversation, recalled similar experiences. “I've been leading a remote team or a hybrid team for over a decade,” Kevin told Evan. “And then about seven years ago, we formed the Remote Leadership Institute as a part of our larger organization. I was working with a gentleman named Wayne Turmel. And his whole focus was around remote communication for trainers, for presenters, for salespeople, etc. And so we brought all of our leadership work together under the umbrella of the Remote Leadership Institute. And now we've written several of books in this area, one called The Long Distance Leader and then more recently, The Long Distance Teammate. So we've been in this space helping people work remotely for a lot longer than the pandemic.” Learn more about your ad choices.

DeMario and Dawn McIlwain are the co-founders of Skilldora, the first all-A.I. online learning company that employs A.I. in every aspect of their business and platform. To see one of their amazing A.I.-instructors “live,” be sure to visit myskilldora.com. In a recent Training Unleashed podcast, DeMario and Dawn spoke with host Evan Hackel about the future of A.I. in training. “A.I. is being currently used most extensively now in the medical space,” Dawn told Evan, “where it is being used mostly to train future doctors.” Yet both DeMario and Dawn foresee many more applications for A.I. in training. At the moment, many of their efforts focus on creating digital humans that trainees can interact with in training courses. Skilldora is already using these digital humans, which are dramatically more realistic than the “talking heads” in other training courses. But still more big changes are about to happen. DeMario and Dawn told Evan that in the future, their digital humans will become much more than merely realistic. They will become increasingly interactive, going beyond the simple ability to deliver information or demonstrate skills. This will make training programs increasingly interactive and engaging. “And by the way,” Dawn adds, “this trend will not put training professionals out of work. If anything, it will create many more opportunities for programmers.” Another trend to watch for is the application of A.I. to create and adapt culturally sensitive training programs for companies in other countries, where trainees speak languages other than English.
