Dynamic Teams

We have all been a part of a team – good or bad. Teams are found at work and at play. They can include thousands or just two. On the basketball court, in the orchestra pit, the military combat unit, and the boardroom, dynamic teams are critical to successfully get things done. At Haberfeld, every day we work to harness the power of dynamic teams so that we can help our clients accelerate growth. In this HabChat episode, we talk dynamic teams. Join us as we jump into a subject that impacts us all. You’ll even meet a new member of our HabChat team!

The Creative Core: Inside the Three Pillars

To help our clients reach and engage the best possible prospects while getting the most out of every dollar spent, our Creative Team relies on what we call the three pillars of marketing: Content, Strategy, and Design. Together, these pillars ensure we reach the right people with the right messaging at the right time and in the right ways, all for maximum institutional growth. In this special episode, HabChat Producer Jason Ortiz sits in for hosts Patrick and Susan to interview Cory Kibler (Manager of Copy & Content), Tracy Munoz (Senior Creative Strategist), and Gail Dishman (Art Director) about the respective roles they play in creating effective top-tier print and digital marketing for our valued clients.

The Transition

A change of leadership is as complicated as it is exciting. In the best cases, there is genuine sadness from bidding farewell to a leader who has spent so many years guiding, directing, inspiring, and shaping an organization. Meanwhile, there is also joy and anticipation in promoting a new leader who is eager to take up the mantle and lead an organization down new roads while honoring the past.  By this point, you have likely heard that Haberfeld has gone through a significant leadership change. And, as with every healthy leadership transition, there has been much planning, communicating, goal setting, and strategizing to make it as smooth as possible.  In this new episode of HabChat, hosts Patrick and Susan discuss our recent leadership succession process with Dr. Sean Payant (Haberfeld President) and Achim Griesel (Haberfeld President Emeritus) and all the key factors involved in a seamless and successful leadership transition.
