Building the Team Mindset

20 September, 2010

By Mark Eaton, a former professional baskeball player and renowned motivational speaker.

In the National Basketball Association (NBA), when anyone on a team is playing for himself rather than the team as a whole, failure is eminent. In business, when anyone in the company has an “I” mentality, it’s only a matter of time until failure creeps into the organization.

In my experience as an entrepreneur and motivational speaker, I’ve learned that success is not about discipline— it’s about teamwork. Without teamwork, people don’t cooperate, collaborate or innovate. A group of people working together is not necessarily a team. Groups are committed to an ideal, goal or person; teams are committed to each other.

12 Conversations Every Entrepreneur Should Make

17 September, 2010

Shawn Kent Hayashi heads The Professional Development Group, and is the author of Conversations for Change: 12 Ways to Say it Right When it Matters Most.

I have been studying and researching communications issues and conversation styles for 20 years. During this time, I have identified 12 types of conversations that are vital for us as entrepreneurs:

  • Conversation for Connection
    Connecting with others happens when we slow down enough to be in the present and really listen to one another. Rapport building requires listening now. Can you be here now? Powerful listening causes trust to grow. As entrepreneurs, this conversation is vital to starting new client relationships and engaging people who will want to work with us.

Creating an Oceanic Orchestra

16 September, 2010

Business is always changing. New ideas are eclipsing antiquated ones, concepts are being realized at record pace and more people are seeking innovative ways to make their mark on the business landscape. Take Lia Ditton, for example. A British artist and professional sailor, Lia is designing the first-ever digital orchestra using the ocean as inspiration. BOLD recently sat down with Lia to discuss the many aspects of this unique project.

BOLD: The thought of turning a state-of-the-art race boat into a digital orchestra is extremely intriguing. What was the genesis behind this idea?
LD: The idea for the Open Boat Orchestra (OBO) was seeded back in 2002, when I watched the America’s Cup live on television for the first time. When the boat tacked, the jib moved so swiftly across the bow that it simply went flunk! The next sound was ghrrrr! The main wasn’t being trimmed, it was trimmed: one single action, one sound bite! So I began thinking, what if you could hear all the other dynamic forces at play? What would that sound like?
