Unlock Your Curious Mind in Business E14

Podcast hosts Emmanuel and Angela Williams are excited to welcome their guest Jeff Heggie into the studio for More Details, Please. The topic of conversation is how to unlock your curious mind in business.

Jeff, once a professional rodeo cowboy, is an entrepreneur and success coach with a passion for helping others achieve their biggest dreams. He teaches people to become optimal-performing entrepreneurs. And taking his client and their business to the next level always begins with the right mindset – curious, self-confident, and positive.

Tune into this episode if you love listening to motivational advice for entrepreneurs. Jeff reminds you that curiosity is the driving force behind achieving your goals and why it is good to want to know more. Other highlights include advice about accountability and how to step outside your comfort zone.

You’ll also hear Jeff talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people to help you make the best decisions. And you’ll learn why visualization is such an important tool – and how you can do a lot of things with your mind to help prepare you for success.

Jeff-Heggie-Success-Coach-black-high-res

Jeff Heggie Coaching focuses on two specific types of clients, which may sound very different but actually require many of the same skills and tools to succeed. Their two main clients are entrepreneurs and athletes. They create Optimal Performing Entrepreneurs.

An Optimal Performing Entrepreneur is someone who builds a Successful Business, but not at the expense of the other important areas of their life. They also find success in their family and relationships, finances, health and fitness, spirituality, and their personal development! This requires a focus on developing a powerful mindset and recognizing that your mindset leads your thinking, learning and behaviors, which in turn lead to your success in your life and business.

Athletes work extremely hard on the physical aspect of their sport, but the mental game is just as important. In fact, it’s often what separates the good from the great athletes. At Jeff Heggie Coaching their use The Confident Athlete Program to help their athletes develop a powerful mental game and separate themselves from their competition.

Jeff-HeggieJeff Heggie is an Entrepreneur and Success Coach with a passion for helping others achieve their biggest dreams. Jeff teaches people to become optimal performing entrepreneurs, and helps athletes to master their mental game. He starts with a focus on mindset. Taking his client or their business to the next level always begins with the right mindset.

Jeff enjoys using his extensive experience in the banking industry, over twenty years as an entrepreneur, plus his training and experience as a coach to help his clients break through the mental and physical barriers that hold them back.

Jeff and his wife, Tamara, both grew up in Southern Alberta but now make Arizona home. Family and sports have always been important to him. He loves spending time coaching or watching his kids. He’s a former professional rodeo cowboy and has over twenty years’ experience coaching basketball.

In this episode of “The Future of Work Podcast,” hosts Kyle McIntosh and Al Loveland welcome two long time members of the Mac 6 community, Jake Pfeiffer and Scott Marsh, to discuss the importance of health and fitness in the entrepreneurial and small business world.

The conversation also covers the importance of a structured fitness program and the value of having a personal trainer like Scott who can provide guidance, create tailored workout plans, and adapt to the individual’s needs and abilities.

The Vital Role of Sharing Your Company’s Great Culture with the Community E35

In the modern business landscape, a company’s culture is not just an internal matter. It has evolved into a valuable asset that can significantly impact a company’s success and reputation. We know this!

However, having a fantastic company culture is not enough. It’s equally crucial to communicate this culture to the broader community and potential partners. One effective way to achieve this is by partnering with experts that specialize in marketing and telling the story of your company’s exceptional culture, such as achieving recognition as one of the best places to work.

Having an outstanding company culture is a remarkable achievement in itself, but it’s not enough if it remains hidden within the walls of your organization. To truly reap the benefits of a great culture, you must share it with your community, industry peers, and potential partners. Many companies face the challenge of being the best-kept secret in terms of culture because they don’t proactively communicate their strengths.

We had the chance to highlight two amazing ladies from BestCompaniesAZ to talk about the importance of company culture, the benefits of telling the story of company culture, and discussing the work that led them to this space to help shine the light on other companies.

BestCompaniesAZ has the expertise to craft compelling narratives around your culture, highlighting what makes your company unique and showcasing the human side of your organization. They are the cheerleaders that you didn’t know you needed!

When potential partners and clients hear stories about your great company culture, they are more likely to view your organization as a desirable partner and provider of goods or services. So let’s start telling more stories about great culture!

Are you a company interested in sharing the remarkable story of your outstanding corporate culture? 

Are you a business seeking to demonstrate to the community just how exceptional your company culture is?

Do you specialize in conducting employee engagement surveys that reveal the excellence of your company’s culture?

Are you in search of the perfect awards to highlight and elevate the narrative of your company’s culture?

Well, then you should listen to this episode!!!

NEXGENLOGOORIGINAL-01copy

NexGen Partner Strategies is a locally owned / operated merchant services company that provides everything to a business from integrated payment processing services to all types of point of sale devices.

Erik-VerrydenErik Verryden has served in the merchant services industry for 20 years. He founded Phoenix-based National Processing Solutions (NPS) in 2003, with aspirations to bring a positive culture to the payments industry by placing charitable organizations at its core. Offering transaction solutions to small and large businesses across the nation, NPS quickly became one of the fastest growing independent payment companies in the Southwest.

Through NPS Gives, 20 percent of each transactional charge is donated to a nonprofit of each merchant’s selection. To date, NPS Gives has donated over $300,000 to more than 75 organizations across the country and has truly become a friendly partner to many business owners and communities.

After many years of directly immersing himself and NPS in business and nonprofit communities, Erik found that he had developed meaningful relationships with industry leaders and organizations who were also invested in helping entrepreneurs and the causes dear to them.

In 2019, NPS transitioned to NexGen Partner Strategies, which provides diversified services that offer convenient, end-to-end business solutions to a variety of business owners. Services include payment processing, payroll and HR services, insurance, working capital and telemedicine. Under NexGen Partner Strategies, NPS Gives continues to carry out great work in the community.

“When I entered the merchant services industry in college, I manifested the idea of offering full-service business solutions created by synergetic partnerships, all under one roof” said Verryden. “That dream is being realized, and best of all, we are highly integrated with the organizations that our clients deeply value. NexGen Partner Strategies could not ask for more.”

Verryden is certified as an Electronic Transaction Association Payment Professional (ETA CPP). He currently serves on the Arizona Heart Foundation’s board of directors and is a founding member of the Phoenix Metro Chamber of Commerce.

Erik was born and raised in Portland, where he studied business. He frequently volunteers with Helping Hands for Freedom and co-owns Crossfit Blur in Scottsdale. He is passionate about fitness, the outdoors and spending time with family and friends.
