A Holistic and Realistic Approach to HR

 Our guest on Monday 2/22 was @JeanneMale CEO & President of Emp-Higher Performance Development, Inc.  www.emphigher.com, a training and performance consulting firm. Her work has been published in more than 40 pharmaceutical, trade, sales, and training journals since starting the company in 1997. Last year, Jeanne began fielding an unprecedented number of calls from pharmaceutical colleagues requesting career advice in light of recent acquisitions. To stay responsive and address many of the frequently asked questions, she started a LinkedIn group which evolved to a blog www.JobLifeArchitect.com. The need has become so significant that Jeanne was asked to deliver a workshop for an industry Leadership Conference and most recently held an expanded version of the workshop for pharmaceutical company undergoing merger and layoffs. During our show, Jeanne integrated her Emp-Higher performance management expertise with key learnings from the Job Life Architect mindset for a holistic and realistic approach.  

Jeanne spoke about realizing when she was not involved in working with clients directly she was very unhappy because she has a calling for service.

She spoke about diagnosing what is going on within her clients’ organizations, then coaching and counseling how to get people back on track. The most common cause of a decline in performance is not dollars or commission related and that’s what she discovers, cultural issues, etc

Jeanne relies a lot on Axiology, DISC and MBTI 4 assessments when companies need band aids because high performers are losing their edge.

Jeanne was a formidable opponent when there was a need to be  and a great guest.

  1. As a certified MBTI and DiSC facilitator, I wish I’d participated in the convo. Having a new job doesn’t allow for blogtalkradio listening during the day. I will listen to this show tonight. Paul, you provide a value added service to job seekers and recruiters alike. I like you and Karla Porter more than words can express. You two have a heart of gold. Your compassion and goodness shines through in the work you do.

    Keep up the good work, and know that I am one of your biggest supporters.

    Kind regards,

    @HRMargo

  2. What Jeanne does for a company is akin to the work of a vascular surgeon for a body. Apart from finding the tremendously valuable services she provides very interesting, she is such a nice person!

  3. I just wanted to take a moment and day how much I really enjoy the show. Paul, You and Karla are exceptional! I admire both of you more than words can adequately express. Your Guests are wonderful and the conversation insightful.
    Best Wishes, I hope to meet u both this year,
    Shennee

  4. Paul, I’m just delighted to have “met” you and Karla. I’m looking forward to a lot more banter, stimulating debate, and playful professionalism.

    Karla, your spirit, your keen perception, and your gracious personality are nothing short of a joy.

    Shenee, I wholeheartedly agree…Paul and Karla are exceptional people with huge hearts and sharp minds.
