Align to Thrive: The High-Stakes Game for Mid-Market Leaders

Ignoring small problems now can lead to significant costs later. Are you hoping your team's missteps, inefficiencies, or cultural issues will just “work themselves out”?

 

In this episode of "It's Your Business," host Jess Dewell, a strategic growth consultant, is joined by Dean Barta, a financial advisor, and Christy Maxfield, a business consultant. They discuss how to identify the silent signals of larger issues and what to do when “business as usual” is no longer effective. They offer practical approaches and share hard-earned lessons from their direct experiences.

 

You will learn:

• Why overlooking small misalignments holds your team back and can even halt projects altogether.
• How to recognize the issues you may be ignoring.
• The skills you need to develop or enhance.
• How to engage in healthy confrontation that leads to better decision-making.

 

When you confront the actual conditions of your business, supported by data, you gain more value than simply relying on hopeful but unfounded narratives.

 

Use your voice with courage. Whether you're a CEO, consultant, or team leader, you'll gain actionable insights on embracing difficult truths, leading with intention, and creating lasting momentum.
