We are finding cross team collaboration is the new big headache organisations face since COVID impacted where we work. The challenge has now become so big for organisations, it is hard to know where to start.
Thanks to Paul Wiefels from the Chasm group we were introduced to Jamie Thomas from Cophi, which is a super simple diagnostics tool to help you measure and identify where to start. Cophi provides the data to support the feelings.
On this Podcast we chat to Jamie, one of the Co-Founders of Cophi to find out more about how they can help. We are excited to share this breakthrough solution 🚀
The image is an example of the collaboration network we spoke about.

Wow what a conversation. It’s fascinating hearing former combat helicopter pilot & squadron leader, Sarah Furness, share her experience and learnings around how we can all fly higher. There are some great tips and reminders of how we can improve the way we work, starting with understanding our own minds.

Sarah tells us that we are never too old to learn, we can always train our brain. The conversation delves into some interesting topics including stress, focus, stretch and flow. Sarah tells us about Eustress which refers to positive stress, the opposite of distress. If we can stretch ourselves, we’re likely to find our flow to operate at our optimum state.

In a hectic work life of constant competing priorities, Sarah talks about the importance of unitask. We are not built to manage multiple tasks. Focus on one thing at a time and do it well.

“Focus on one thing – Fly the helicopter”

We may have mentioned a few times that Sarah is a best-selling author. You can find her book on Amazon here: Fly Higher: Train your mind to feel as strong as you look eBook : Furness, Sarah: Amazon.co.uk: Books

Matt Piercy, joins Amplifiers Lewis Gee and Lindsey Moore to bring to life our New Hire Productivity Report: ‘Move over great attrition, bring on great engagement.’

We hope you enjoy this discussion as we look at the impact of the ‘great attrition’ on the tech industry. Organisations and sales leaders are under huge pressure to hit their quarterly revenue targets but in today’s economic climate, combined with a 30% employee turnover rate, we discuss how new hires faring. We explore how to quickly get new salespeople up to full productivity and the role ‘team’ plays in that.
Matt saw his career take off leading NEMEA sales organisations for VMware, then EMEA for ZScaler, and ThousandEyes. Matt shares his thoughts and what he put into practice around setting new hires up for success. Matt suggests starting by measuring objectives vs revenue (that is unrealistic in the first few months) is much more likely to get your new hires off to a strong start.
Lewis, (who promoted Matt into the NEMEA role at VMWare) brings so much experience on this topic, having held leadership positions in high-growth organisations ServiceNow, VMware and Citrix – all of which hit through a billion dollars during his time. Lewis shares the rigorous onboarding he experienced and we explore if this is now missing? We feel incredibly fortunate to have Lewis as one of our Amplifiers as we and our clients constantly benefit from his wisdom!

We hope you enjoy the conversation. We’d also love to hear if any of our listeners have stories or tips to share. You can reach us at [email protected].
