Koelbel and Company

Taylor Cox, Koelbel and Company (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 493)

Taylor Cox, Director of Acquisition for Denver-based Koelbel and Company, joined host John Ray to share the news of his firm’s first commercial property investment in the North Fulton market, Northridge Center. Taylor talked about his family-owned firm’s investment history, why Atlanta and the North Fulton market specifically offer compelling opportunities, where they see value in the office building segment, and much more.

North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Koelbel and Company

Nothing is stronger than family—especially when it comes to business.

The notion of creating a legacy that was built upon the right ideals forges a firm foundation that endures. A lasting dynamic that attracts business partners that care about more than the bottom line. And a relationship-driven entity that always puts community first.

In 1952, Walt Koelbel founded just such a family business holding up those exact aspirations. Every day since then, Koelbel and Company has been seeing the possibilities and realizing the potential for Colorado real estate. The vision to try new things. And the willingness to think differently. All in an effort to create developments that people are proud to call home.

Vision Organizing

LIVE from SOAHR 2022: Kafi London, Smart Women on Fire, and Gigi Miller, Vision Organizing (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 492)

Kafi London with Smart Women on Fire and Gigi Miller of Vision Organizing were both speakers at SOAHR 2022. They joined host John Ray to chat about their respective paths and businesses. Kafi discussed the factors that lead to burnout and how she helps women recover from and prevent it. Gigi Miller aids her clients in organizing and decluttering, not just physically but in the mental and emotional clutter that accompanies it. They each shared the focus of their presentation at SOAHR2022, successful work with their clients, and much more.

This show was originally broadcast live from SOAHR 2022, the annual conference of SHRM-Atlanta, held at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, Georgia on July 27th and 28th, 2022.

Kafi spent 27 years climbing the corporate ladder working “in the trenches” of the fast-paced, high-demand world of management consulting supporting global training and organizational change initiatives. Past clients include The Coca-Cola Company, Hewlett-Packard, Kimberly-Clark and Shell Chemical Company.

After almost three decades of disregarding her own needs, life caught up with her and she lost the drive and passion to be successful. Overwhelmed, overworked and overweight, she eventually paid the price…BURNOUT!

Fast forward, she is now helping ambitious professionals avoid the same mistakes.

Known by her clients as the Fire Starter, she reignites those who feel their flame is starting to fade.

Leadership is intense at the best of times and despite being resilient, even the best leaders struggle with being fully self-expressed, energized and inspired to do their best work…and Kafi teaches her clients just how to do this.

Born and raised in London, Kafi now lives in Atlanta and is known for her work as a top speaker, facilitator, coach, and mentor.

She loves leading results-based workshops and transformational experiences around the world that help ambitious people play bigger.

In addition to being an expert facilitator, Kafi supports clients through one-to-one coaching, group programs, intensive experiences and transformational retreats.

Kafi uniquely blends her expertise as a management consultant, certified fitness professional and work-life balance expert to help driven, high-performers get out of their own way!

Kafi has proudly co-authored three books:

  • 303 Solutions for Reaching Goals and Living Your Dreams,
  • 303 Solutions for Communicating Effectively and Getting Results
  • 303 Solution for Overcoming Challenges.

Most recently Kafi had a spotlight appearance at the She Means Business Female Founders’ Dinner hosted by Facebook and Civic Dinners.

The Georgia Oglethorpe Award

Due to its high standard for excellence, the Georgia Oglethorpe Award represents one of the most significant levels of recognition an organization can receive. Recipients of the Georgia Oglethorpe Award are examples for excellence for other organizations. This award is presented after a rigorous evaluation to recognize organizations that have achieved management and operations performance excellence. The examination process consists of an Organizational Profile and a formal 50-page application responding to the Sterling Criteria for Performance Excellence. A formal external assessment consists of off-site and on-site assessment of how well an organization’s processes are defined, aligned, deployed, evaluated, and improved.

Only 89 organizations have earned awards since 1992 from the Florida Sterling Council—the organization that administers the Georgia Oglethorpe Award. The awards are “presented annually to high performing, role-model organizations, both private and public, that demonstrate superior management approaches and role model results,” according to the Florida Sterling Council.

Questions and Topics in this Interview:

  • I hear you won a big award recently. What exactly is the Sterling Oglethorpe Quality award and what is it given for?
  • What was the evaluation process like and how long did it take?
  • Why is it important for the community to know the hospital won this prestigious award?
  • How many hospitals in Georgia won it for 2022?
  • How exclusive is this award?
