035: Keynote Interview with Amy Langer Part 2

One of my favorite quotes by Les Brown says, “Don't worry if you fall flat on your back. If you can look up, you can get up.” Amy Langer and the rest of her team over at Salo, LLC exemplify this so well.    If you tuned into last week’s episode, you heard some of Amy’s story. She founded her staffing services company shortly before the recession of 2008. When that financial crisis hit, it revealed some major weaknesses in her organization’s structure.   However, Amy and her team were too stubborn to give up their dream. In fact, they did the exact opposite. They hired a coach, created a strategic plan, and just kept pushing.    Today, Salo is an 85 million dollar company. Tune in to hear the rest of their journey towards that incredible success.   In this episode, you will hear: The clear decisions Amy and her team made during their financial crisis that started the momentum they have today. Why we need to change our mindset from saying we’re stuck to saying we’re choosing to be here. How to instill trust within your team so they own their decisions. Why Amy decided to diversify her team. How to develop diversity in your team’s quality of thinking. How to give up control in your organization. Some of the boards Amy is on and how they have grown her. The things Amy and her team did to thrive during COVID-19.
