Joshua Blum and thanks again for being here thank you so much for having me had 20 years experience through your call Performance renew and you focus on companies where your reworking the workplace inside out now I always like to know how did you get started that business because you know that's a tough one to read work of culture from the inside out<br> early in my career you know what I don't want to be on the dark side of misconduct in the word play it's after if you know someone I would read through all of these kind of things with their bosses their culture you know to a point where now we're in court and I'm like I don't want to be these people here I want to see these people before this Behavior get started so that people can just come to work be able to be performed your values your respect that you know so they can engage and Thrive and so that's why I go with Dad in two organizations and you know identify the blind spots in the organization with people Brothers processing systems so that people can just come to work and just be positive and happy and Gage and thriving wonderful one of the big things that we're seeing is a lot of people are deciding I don't want to work here anymore I want to move off don't lie<br> my boss don't like this the mental state is not what it used to be what is the big Dynamic that is changed with the the pandemic and what are the crucial elements that people need to understand where they're working there in management leadership of the new hate to say this but it is a modern workplace now it stays so we help us understand that a lot of things especially employees in the workplace because he's essentially as you know almost 2 years ago you know we were on the drop of a dime pool for my physical workplaces into our homes and have been there for quite some time and do you know really was an epiphany moment for many people many people didn't even realize they were working and in such toxic work environment until they have the opportunity to be absent from them and they're like oh what's this feeling all of a sudden my mental health is better I'm spending more time with my family I have.<br> how to do some of the things that I enjoyed that I forgot that I enjoyed maybe I'm cooking more because I don't have my commute anymore or maybe I'm pursuing I have time now to pursue along with working full-time my entrepreneurship you know dreams and aspirations that I had so when employers started calling people back into the workplace last late last year what we saw people saying was thanks but no thanks you know they have enjoyed that kind of mental Clarity that they've had they'd enjoy the reconnecting with your family they're friends even if it's over doing right there really enjoying that and so they are essentially putting their Mental Health First for so long you know we have been taught especially in the United States to be very career-driven and we put our careers and profession before anything else in our lives and now we're seeing that kind of reverse<br> play my family first can you still have a career but it's not going to look like it did free pandemic and endemic she made that shift and she's looking to go back to school she wants to be a museum curator which is a a big shift in and she's just she's just like yeah I don't want that crazy grind that goes along with that anymore so you don't think that so many times do a one of these are we talking about that culture and I think impacting employees a lot of organizations never took the time to pause and determine our Define will what is our culture what do we need to do so that employees can, they can stay for a long time are they feel committed that you're loyal and what we have seen in the past year or so of orcas organizations only taking the time to do that to Define<br> their culture is defined what is an inclusive culture meaning that everyone can come to work and fill that sense of belonging sense of value when they get here what does it mean to develop employee so they're really what we have Reeses just a point of Reckoning we are organizations are going through because they just never paused to do that and like you said they were turning employees like robots like okay you're indispensable you're replaceable your dispensable sorry you're replaceable and that was kind of that mentality but what the grit what we are in now which is called the Great resignation that me know so many people leaving the workplace November record high number of people that left and we haven't even gotten the numbers for December and January so what we are what that has done as essentially you know guide organizations attention we need to pause right because now we got all of these open positions so that<br> take me to hold on to the people that we have we got to figure out where our retention efforts and then we've got to figure out how to get people to come back to work how do we re brand ourselves you know how do we reset our reputation and that Colter so that people will come back and they'll stay success coach is just flat out saying you know what there's a lot of people leaving because I have bad leadership and you know what what are Gorgon is what can organizations do to you know it's obvious you don't want to start Alex tressia the middle or senior-level but what can organizations do to redevelop those individuals so they could be better leaders more inspiring that type of thing where you just hit the nail on the head cuz you said we don't want to lose our star talent and that has been a challenge it's been oh I know I have this later then you're the jerk at work you know there are<br> leave your narcissist all of these things but they bring so much value to the organization are so much money are going to have his connection and we can't lose and we rather lose these people and then to lose this person so again what's cap to do is read the fine will what does it mean to be a high-performing leader and it got to add on to that list of just you know profit meeting organizational goals and add on you know are they of empathetic later are they are they a vulnerable leader what kind of are they going to exclusive leader right because without those elements I don't know if we can call them a star player and that's what we've got to sit back and read the five and what we see is eventually it catches up with you right we have seen Time After Time l b inmarsat of organization after there's a crisis after someone has gone to the media of the press and said this person has created a hostile work environment this person is sexually harassed me<br> what you see in the theme of all those stories is that wasn't new news to the organization do know if we knew all this time I was investigated by h.r. for three times because of my workplace behavior when that made it to the news and people start sharing their stories oh you got to go right so what we have to do is not wait for that right let's not wait for that big that whole media to get you you know it will come back to bite you you'll have to get rid of that later anyway then you got to go back and do a whole lot of reputation repair you know and build trust again with your employees why go through all of that once you have a leader that is determined that they don't want us are allowed to make mistakes were human right when you said this when you did this that was offensive or there was a different way you could have approached<br> a good leader takes that feedback they don't have emotional intelligence and you know it really reflect on their behavior and they approach things differently and those are the types of leaders that we need and organizations get your your organisation helps people develop those skills within themselves and Executive coaching you know so we are training with you know take the entire leadership team we you know the trimming what the culture is and we train them of what their behaviors their actions and their word should be reflective of the call for babe identify and then sometimes you need you have leaders that either one or need that additional coaching and so we go in and work with individual leaders as well to help them to gain those competencies that I just talked about<br> be right back with more McNutt Tasha Bowman

2022 if you've noticed with your Standard Hotel buying gas getting food it's all gone up and the reality is your witness the results of the latest inflation search well I like to tell people that gas isn't going to get any better in your money is just going to get worse all the prices and goods and services are the last months have been tributes the worldwide opening back up we don't know exactly how long this is going to last so financially speaking we need to start thinking about doing a few things the first thing we want to look at it as a how do we protect things well you could do that through chips with Stanford<br> treasury inflation-protected security chips are actually quite simple to understand it's our government bonds things of that nature they are based off the inflation and basically What's Happening Here is when inflation goes up so does the interest rate when the Flesh and goes down so does the interstate just can help balance out your fixed income or Bond portfolios as their place and chips are backed by the US federal government or they're one of the safest Investments for your money and effective way to diversify your Investments also supplementing your future retirement income because the price for chips go up and down with the Consumer Price Index that helps protect against these unexpected spike in inflation justify bar best inflation for the average investors so it's really important to take a look at that next a lot of people don't realize this but cash is often overlooked as an inflation hit while cash is in a growth asset is usually kept up with inflation and a nominal terms if inflation<br> the company by Rising short-term interest rate now with a pandemic just know how unpredictable the economy can be always keep something in high-yield savings money market CD you also going to have too much here because you really just want to look at 6 to 9 months of your income that you need for the household so and you want to look at it and in a short-term Insurance CD until we have a better understanding of the longer-term inflation Outlook now we have some good news here so let's talk about the best place for a high-yield account such as Marcus by Goldman Sachs highest yield online savings that you know no fees it's very accessible zero conditions people love it best money market accounts Ally Bank money market account 24/7 access ATM reimbursements best CDs you know what first of all you want to consider the length of time to type your money till look at 3 or 6 months so you can go to Brian b r i o direct hire a CD or four<br> smart I go baking high-yield CD for one year at CFG Community Bank 3-year First National Bank of America 5-year Ally Bank high-yield CD Now in short-term Bonds in a similar strategy is maintaining cash and a CD or savings account your money say something accessible here if Rising inflation leads to higher interest rates sure turned down for more resilient where long-term bombs will suffer loss this is a reason it's best to stick with short or intermediate intermediate turning white anything long-term when it comes to pain make sure your bonds for bond funds or short-term since they will be affected the last interest rates become to rise quickly okay now stocks can be a great long-term inflation hedge but can suffer in the short-term now especially if there's an inflation Spike if you're new to the investment world it's easier than ever to get started to do so you need open account for a brokerage and trading platform you want to look at all the different Brokers for

not to make your magic changes in your portfolio that met her performance of inflation also in a diversified portfolio Works whether we have Rising inflation or stable inflation next Real Estate

sure you talk with somebody to make sure it fits for you now why doesn't always protecting its Rising inflation in the short-term intends to keep up over the long-term now to take a look at the long-term back in the 70s gold was as little as $300 an ounce<br> for decades but the fluctuation might not work for you come on Friday prices for raw materials like oil metal agricultural products used to increase along with inflation and they're good hedge against it but the big but here you should note that Commodities could also be extremely risky the prices for Combined he's been largely on supply and demand which can be highly unpredictable this makes them a risky investment on top of investors taking on Leverage the chance of rewards are high but so are the risk of losses next cryptocurrency Bitcoin as the new digital goal theoretically should protect against inflation because it limited Supply but you know quite frankly everybody's view is still out whether or not it will be a good inflation hedge of a long-term and be very worried about Bitcoin because of the recent volatility K it's really difficult to incorporate your Diversified Diversified cryptocurrency in a
