I have been in the financial services industry since 1990, working in a variety of roles—from branch operations to regional platforms, as well as in technology and training, conducting roll-outs across the country. One of the most impactful elements has always been the concept of Best Practices, and I have had the privilege of sharing this valuable information with advisors and their teams throughout North America for the past few decades. As a long-time coach and author, I am excited to share insights from the third edition of *Best Practices—A Handbook for Advisors and Their Teams*. These tips and guidelines have helped teams grow, become better organized, and hone in on their unique qualities within the industry. The best part of this podcast will be the guests who contribute to each topic or interview, providing rich insights that can support your business, your team, and your life! Thank you for tuning in!

Operational effectiveness and the hidden cost of undocumented systems

In this episode, we dive into a topic that almost every growing financial services team faces — but few talk about openly: operational effectiveness and the hidden cost of undocumented systems. Our team has been working together since 2003. We're highly in sync. We move fast. We 'just know' how things work. But when a new team member joins, that rhythm becomes a barrier rather than a strength. The core issue isn't about one person's performance — it's about the absence of documented processes, clear KPIs, and a defined source of truth. So today, we're speaking with Katie Attard, an expert in operational effectiveness to unpack: * How teams unintentionally create invisible systems * Why undocumented culture becomes risky * And how to build scalable infrastructure without slowing momentum Learn more about our guest Katie Attard: https://www.konduitoperations.com/

Hiring a New Team Member

In today's episode, we're diving into a crucial topic for any growing business: Hiring a New Team Member, exploring smart strategies to build stronger, more effective teams. Before you jump into posting that job opening, it's essential to pause and reflect. Have you truly explored all options to meet your workload with your current team? Sometimes, reassigning roles, streamlining processes through automation, or reshaping client relationships can increase capacity without the need for new hires. If not, then it's time to look carefully at what skills your team is missing and design a role that fills those gaps — not one created just to help a specific person or out of convenience.
