How does company culture shape employee motivation ?Fraser Phillips
Company culture refers to a company's vision, values, goals and beliefs, which shape employee motivation. A positive culture provides employees with a sense of purpose and engagement, leading to higher productivity, profitability and job growth. Building a culture aligned with core values allows companies to attract and retain employees with matching values. While diversity in the workplace can spark creativity, Amazon's harsh culture demotivates some employees and hurts work-life balance. Overall, company culture significantly impacts business success.
The document discusses how the 21st century is an era defined by new types of "wars" over technologies, innovations, people, information, and new markets. It notes that talents will be the most important corporate resource over the next 20 years. To attract and retain talents, companies need to be great companies that care about their people, have great leaders who respect their employees, and offer great jobs that people find interesting and meaningful. The document argues these approaches could help AIESEC recruit and develop talents to build a high-performance culture. It calls on readers to take part in the competition to recruit the best talents.
This document describes plans for a new men's grooming business called M Company Oy. It discusses the growing market for men's grooming products and services. The business model will involve high quality products made in Finland, personalized services tailored for each customer, and creating a sense of community. It will be led by two experienced barbers and hairdressers, Petri and Toni, who have won several awards. The goals are to open 700 M Room locations in 15 countries by 2020, serve 850,000 customers per month, and potentially sell the business or do a buyback for investors by 2020.
OP4.com aims to be the premier youth site in North America through proprietary content. It has 3 sections: forums, entertainment reviews, and self-help articles. The culture emphasizes teamwork, flexibility, and praise over punishment. Founders Ray Matthews and Stuart Saunders each play key roles in vision and operations. As profitability is pursued, Matthews asks leaders to review the vision and transition to generating their own revenue streams while maintaining the unique culture.
Littlefield & Associates, led by John C. Littleford, helps educational institutions and nonprofits fill key executive positions. Finding top candidates is challenging as the individual must fit the organization's culture and align with its goals. The executive search process also has logistical hurdles like establishing committees and advertising. Hiring an expert in executive recruitment can simplify the process and increase the chances of success.
Dr. Jacob Francom writes a letter of recommendation for Mohamed Ali for a position in the recipient's school. Francom met Ali a year ago when consulting in Ali's school in Saudi Arabia, and they have stayed in contact discussing education. Ali is described as a diligent, intelligent, hard-working educator who is effective at getting students and colleagues excited about projects and changes. Ali led his school's internal evaluation process in preparation for an external accreditation visit, coordinating the standards and school improvement planning. Francom fully recommends Ali as a conscientious leader and educator.
Volunteers from Salesforce San Francisco and students from Cambridge Virtual Learning Academy participated in a business case competition hosted by SuitUp. The students were tasked with creating an innovative feature for Zoom to enhance remote learning. Salesforce volunteers coached the student teams. After the competition, both students and volunteers felt more confident in their skills and believed the program had a positive impact. Students were interested in pursuing fields like business, marketing, and STEM after interacting with the Salesforce volunteers. Both groups expressed interest in participating in another SuitUp competition in the future.
influential leaders believe in challenging the status quo, ask intelligent business questions, and believe that valuable discoveries can reform the business processes for the better. They are experimental and research-oriented.

Businesses can receive several benefits from supporting nonprofits, including increased notoriety, branding, and advertising opportunities. However, the most important benefit is that it helps businesses grow their citizenship within the community. Supporting nonprofits that are solving problems or making a positive impact allows businesses to contribute beyond just creating wealth. Nonprofits also benefit from developing long-term partnerships with businesses, as it allows them to establish collaborations that support each other's missions in overlapping ways. Nonprofits must partner with one another as well, to reduce overlap and duplication of services while gaining synergies, as resources for nonprofits are often limited.

Millennials now make up a significant portion of the workforce but many are unprepared for leadership roles. While they have strong technical skills, Millennials often lack soft skills such as communication, diplomacy, and relationship building.

15000 hours: How to Take Control of Your Life and Build the FutureZachary Slayback
This document discusses deschooling and the impact of traditional schooling. It argues that schooling teaches lessons like confusion, class positioning, and emotional/intellectual dependence through monopolizing 15,000 hours of a person's life. However, schooling does not equal education. The document advocates pursuing passions, defining identity beyond academics/career, learning how value is created, and taking control of one's own learning through entrepreneurial thinking. It suggests parenting, homeschooling, and alternative schools as ways to deschool society by creating new learning paths.
These are the slides to my talk given to the Ohio Students For Liberty Regional Conference. The title, "You are not a lottery ticket" is taken from Peter Thiel's book Zero to One. The topic concerns social change and the institutions that prevent us from achieving our ideal society.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Mitchell Broderick Adam Witty
“I was bored and restless in
school - and paying too much. I
knew I could do more but didn’t
know how to get my foot in the
door and get started.”
“We needed people for one
of our toughest sales roles
and it’s not easy to find
them through traditional
channels.”

Mitchell Broderick Adam Witty
“Praxis got me in the door at a
company I couldn’t have accessed
myself without a degree and a network
and experience I didn’t yet have.”
“From the moment Praxis connected
me to Mitchell I knew he was a winner.
Praxis put the pieces together in a
way no traditional program can.”

Unfair Advantage:
Developed strategic relationships
with like FBLA, DECA, 4H, High
School Hackathons, and other
hubs of high-caliber young
people. We’ve established
ourselves as the go-to for those
better than college.
Unfair Advantage:
Substantive following in the
homeschool community across
the country and our Teen
Entrepreneurship Course extends
our sales pipeline into 12-16 year
old homeschoolers. The Future of
School downloaded 1500+ times.
Unfair Advantage:
Considerably cheaper alternative
to graduate school with a higher
placement rate.
Unfair Advantage:
Only option for non-coder, non-
technical high caliber college opt-
outs. While coding bootcamps
and programs like MakeSchool
attract hackers, non-technicalists
are attracted to Praxis.

“I eat, drink, and sleep for
one purpose: to help people
discover and do what makes
them come alive. Nearly
everyone wants to be
creative, live freely, and do
meaningful work. Very few
know how. I had to build
something that offers more
than pep talks and
motivational quotes;
something that not only
inspires, but that empowers
people to actually create
what they want.”
T.K. Coleman
Education Director
“I dropped out of the
University of Michigan
because I was bored. I taught
myself digital marketing and
made great money helping
companies grow fast. I joined
the Praxis team because I
knew other young people
were wasting time and money
in school just like I had, and
I’m committed to solving that.
I want to help build the
education revolution.”
Derek Magill
Marketing Director
"I've tried just about every
form of education and spent
my professional life working
with both students and
business owners. I couldn't
stand to see talented people
stuck on the education
conveyor belt while
opportunities abound. Praxis
had to be created."
Isaac Morehouse
CEO
"I have an unquenchable
desire to build things and to
be around builders. I dropped
out of an Ivy League school
for the opportunity to build
Praxis and surround myself
with great people. I love the
opportunity to help founders
grow their companies with
young people like myself."
Zak Slayback
Business Development
Director
"I joined the program when
it launched and fell in love
with the experience and the
vision. I’m a systems builder.
Working closely with our
education, marketing, and
operations teams has
allowed me to develop a
complete view of the
company. I'm focused on
using that knowledge to
build Praxis into what it
should be."
