Peter Ashley is back for a second week of fill-in co-host duties while regular co-host and change management consultant Elizabeth Gordon continues to consult in Singapore.  He  joins regular show co-host Dana Barrett for a review of the business headlines and a lively discussion about the challenges of growing your business.

Gene Hammett

Guests this week are Business Coach, Gene Hammett from Core Elevation and Jewel Anderson from Under 30 Following the Vision.  Gene shared his personal story of succeeding, failing spectacularly and then pulling himself back up by the bootstraps.  It’s a compelling story that you’ll want to hear!

Gene also explained the difference between coaching, consulting and training and talked about how coaching helps you get to the solutions yourself rather than “telling you what to do” and he noted that when you figure it out for yourself, you’re more likely to follow through and make real progress.  He clearly has a unique coaching style and a passion for the work he is doing that you’ll hear throughout the show.

Jewel talked about her new non-profit venture Under 30 Following The Vision and talked about her desire to help young entrepreneurs get both exposure and funding.  She explained the scholarship program, talked about the three finalists and shared her vision for the organization going forward!

Vaughn Williams / Athletic Director & Presidential Cabinet Member, Kennesaw State University

Vaughn Williams brings his extensive knowledge and experience of collegiate athletics to the position of athletic director at Kennesaw State University. On April 12, 2011, University President Dr. Dan Papp announced at the conclusion of a national search that Williams would fill the void created by the retirement of Dr. Dave Waples, who had been the department’s athletic director since 1987. Williams officially took his post on May 2, stepping in for Senior Associate Athletic Director Scott Whitlock, who had served as Interim Athletic Director since Waples’ departure in August, 2010.

Prior to accepting the job at Kennesaw State, Williams has had a prestigious six-plus year tenure at the University of Connecticut. While there, Williams served as Associate Athletic Director, with his responsibilities mainly involving strategic planning, facility master planning and policy and procedure improvement. He also served as chair of the University of Connecticut’s Sportsmanship/Fan Environment Initiative Committee. At Connecticut, Williams directed the operation and management of 11 campus athletic facilities for 24 varsity sports and 600 student-athletes, as well as the university’s recreational/intramural program, which serves 3,500 participants.

He also oversaw the Huskies’ event management team that provides support to varsity sports, including the hosting of Big East and NCAA post-season events. In addition, Williams served as the program’s home game administrator for football and basketball games. Before arriving at Connecticut, Williams had over 10 years of NCAA Division I athletics experience. He was a staple at Boston College in their athletic department as an assistant athletic director for six years from 1998-2004. While working at Boston College, he earned his Masters degree in Administrative Studies.

Williams got his start working in collegiate athletics at the University of Utah. During his two years there, Williams went from the Assistant Director of Finance to the Director of Finance before leaving for the University of Toledo, where he served as the Associate Athletic Director of Business Affairs from 1996-1998.

Williams’ experience in athletics reaches beyond the boundaries of administration. Earning his bachelor’s degree in Sport Management from the University of Massachusetts (UMass) in 1992, Williams was a four-year letter winner in football at UMass.

Williams and his wife, Eileen, have three children.

Gene Beckham is a native of Perry, Georgia.  He is the owner of Business Furniture Services, Inc. in Marietta.  Long active in his community, Gene is a past president of the Roswell Rotary Club.  As he was passing the torch to the next president in 2008, he was looking for a signature project for the incoming president.  At this time, Gene became aware of the Honor Flight Network.  Drawn to honoring our veterans and their sacrifices for our freedom, Gene immediately knew this was something in which he wanted to be involved.

The Honor Flight Network provides WWII veterans an opportunity to make an all expenses paid trip to Washington, DC to visit the WWII Memorial.  Since the first trip in 2008, the Roswell Rotary Club has created Honor Air to continue to provide opportunities for WWII veterans to take this trip, and be honored for their service to our country.  Four trips have been completed, with a fifth scheduled for October 10, 2012.  This year’s trip has been made possible by Coldwell Banker and their local Atlanta-based agents for up to 60 veterans. Listen as Gene tells how this “one time project” has become an ongoing initiative for the Roswell Rotary Club!

For more information about this terrific trip to honor our WWII veterans or to make a donation, click here, send an email to rrhonorair@gmail.com, or call (678) 318-3647.  Contact Gene directly at (770) 971-5424, email him at gene@bfsga.com, or visit his website at www.bfsga.com.

We want to thank Griswold Home Care for sponsoring today’s show.  Griswold Home Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Atlanta for 20 years.
