Business Owners & Entrepreneurs Podcast With Peter Boolkah | Business Coach | The Transition Guy®

In today's episode of the Transition Guy I'm taking a look at Business Ethics. I also discuss what happens when a company like Carillion goes bust, leaving hundreds of SME's on the brink of failure. Carillion's collapse was for many people a bolt from the blue - a large UK company that had no obvious problems went bust in a little more than a year. Even the company's directors seemed to have no idea what was about to happen. In the annual report published in March, they signed off a "viability" statement saying there was no reason to think the company would have financial difficulties in the next three years. Business ethics (also known as corporate ethics) is a form of applied ethics or professional ethics that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that arise in a business environment. It applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of individuals and entire organisations. These ethics originate from individuals, organisati

Today I'm discussing mental health in business. Running your own business can be hugely rewarding, but for many business owners and directors having such huge responsibility for the company's success or failure can take its toll. While it can be tempting to focus all of your time and attention on your business, it's also essential that you take care of yourself. As a business owner you will already be dealing with a range of unique challenges that can affect your mental health and the mental health of your staff and even your family. Business related stress occurs when the demands from running your business are greater than your capacity to manage them. While stress isn't the same thing as mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, excessive or long-term stress can increase your risk of developing a mental health condition. If any of the issues covered in today's session affects you, please seek the support you need. Here's a good place to start: https://www.mi

So why should you attend industry conferences, seminars and workshops? No matter what industry your business is in, there will be conferences and events where like-minded business owners and their people get together to discuss a whole host of topics related to your industry. There will be topics discussed that you already know about and you will also learn some new things too! In today's episode of the Transition Guy i'm taking a look at all of the positives. -------------------- CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH: -------------------- http://www.Boolkah.com https://www.facebook.com/Boolkah https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkah https://twitter.com/boolkah -------------------- ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH -------------------- Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses.

Often under-valued by owners, the HR team in any business is critical to the success of the company and it's people. The Human Resources team do much more behind the scenes than many business owners realise. Without them companies wouldn’t be able to effectively find, hire and leverage the potential of the best talented people, and without good people, there simply is no business. -------------------- CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH: -------------------- http://www.Boolkah.com https://www.facebook.com/Boolkah https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkah https://twitter.com/boolkah -------------------- ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH -------------------- Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses.

When a skyscraper is being built the building gets taller as each level is stacked on top of the others. Anger and other competing emotions in your business works in a similar way. This is because anger, stress and frustration builds upwards on top of the original cause. Every stressful situation, heated conversation with your team or business challenge that occurs starts to build up like a sleeping volcano until it eventually erupts, causing so many more problems. Don't let this happen to you. -------------------- CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH: -------------------- http://www.Boolkah.com https://www.facebook.com/Boolkah https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkah https://twitter.com/boolkah -------------------- ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH -------------------- Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth bu
