Posted On October 30, 2018
Conflicting accounts surface all the time regarding whether we as a nation are retirement ready or not. And whether our Social Security benefits will be there for us or not.

Millennials are in marriage to win, not divorce
Posted On October 30, 2018
We Generation Xers and Baby Boomers are well attuned to what we perceive as millennial flaws. They’re not good with commitment, we believe. They don’t know how to overcome adversity. They expect things to be handed to them. They don’t do well when conditions in the workplace or in life aren’t what they consider ideal.

Unproductive meetings are a sign of an unproductive workplace
Posted On October 22, 2018
Who likes going to meetings? Not many of us would raise our hands in response to that question. Most of us see meetings as time that would be better spent actually getting some work done. But workplace consultant and executive coach Michael Nash says it doesn’t have to be that way. Nash, who joins us again for another episode of “What’s Working with Cam Marston,” says it really isn’t the meetings themselves we hate, it’s that they aren’t being conducted effectively.

Posted On October 16, 2018
Michael Nash returns to the show to discuss how meetings can be used as a diagnosis of your organization. He can watch your meetings unfold and tell you what your company does well and what your company does poorly. They’re reflective of how your company is operating and what it needs to do to improve. Michael offers suggestions for running effective, concise, and enthusiastic meetings. It’s less about what’s discussed and more about what’s assigned.

Our guest in the latest episode of “What’s Working with Cam Marston” is uniquely qualified to answer that question. Brad Israel is a U.S. Army Green Beret and Afghanistan veteran who is now the Chief Leadership Officer of 68 Ventures, a real estate holding company based in Baldwin County.
