Technology changed the environment.
It didn’t change human behaviour.

When we communicate through a screen, we still look for information about the person in front of us.

We do this constantly, often without realizing it. We are always collecting small data points to understand the person we are interacting with, while also giving them small data points about ourselves to interpret.

We often think communication is about the information we give, but we forget that we have multiple channels of communication… not only our words.

For example, does your team only show their head on the screen, or can others also see their hands? Open hand gestures can contribute to a sense of openness and engagement.

And what about the environment behind them?

Does your team appear in a completely blank environment, or is there something that gives others a glimpse into who they are? A picture, a book, a guitar they love to play ext… something that can create a natural topic of conversation, just like we used to have in our physical offices.

These details may seem insignificant, but they can create additional points of connection.

Connection is key to any business!

How are you creating opportunities for your team, clients and partners to connect with the person behind the screen?

The medium changed.
The human need to understand the person on the other side didn’t.

The number entrepreneurs love to talk about.

Revenue.

It comes up everywhere! Business events, banks, masterminds, networking circles…

“What’s your company revenue?”

And usually, the bigger the number, the more successful the business appears to be.

But should we be glorifying revenue so much?

I’ve seen business owners doing several million in revenue who can barely afford to breathe.

I’ve built businesses without funding or external capital, and that taught me to look at revenue very differently.

Revenue is important, but what you can actually keep, reinvest and build with matters even more.

And yes, sometimes operating at a loss is exactly the right strategy. Raising money and investing ahead of growth can build something much bigger.

But that’s very different from growing revenue without building a financially healthy business.

A $10M-revenue company can absolutely be financially weaker than a $3M-revenue company.

- Do you have the capital to hire the next person you need without going into debt?
- What happens if your client pauses or cancels his contract?
- Are you too dependent on one client to keep the business afloat?
- What happens if you have one bad month? Or three? Do you have enough cash to keep going, or are you immediately forced to make cuts?
- What happens if a new opportunity to grow the business in a down economy comes, will you have the ability to take advantage of it?

The numbers always tell a story about the health of the business and the mindset behind it.

Building a business is already extremely but layering on top bad financial/oporational systems and financial pressure to it makes it much harder.

Maybe it’s time we looked beyond the revenue number.

Some leadership lessons don’t become outdated.

I came across a video from a keynote I gave at the Red Hat Leadership Event a few years ago. The message was about congruence, the alignment between what we think, what we feel, what we communicate, and how we show up.

The message feels just as relevant today!

When what you believe, what you say, and how you lead are aligned, people notice. They may not always be able to explain why, but they trust it.

As executives, we spend countless hours refining strategies, preparing presentations, and building the case for change. Those things matter, but people don’t buy into a strategy first. They buy into the person presenting it!

When you walk into the boardroom, is your message aligned with what you actually believe?

People are remarkably good at sensing when something feels off.

Congruence isn’t about being perfection, it is about your thoughts, your actions, and your communication tell the same story.

Whether you’re leading a board discussion, navigating change, or asking people to embrace something new, congruence is what creates credibility and trust.

Leadership starts long before the first slide appears.

Looking forward to celebrating the 10th Annual Red Hat Leadership Summit this October with Paul Lewis, Alix Edmiston, and the incredible Red Hat team. Congratulations on an incredible milestone!🥂

In this video, I’m on a marketing panel in Dubai speaking about something I noticed often in organizations.

Where companies say they want a culture defined by open and direct communication.

But their teams are individuals who are shaped by a personal home cultures and country culture where communication is indirect, reserved, or avoidant.

So on the surface, everything sounds aligned
but underneath, it isn’t.

And that’s where cultural differences show up most.

Because communication is not just what’s said
it’s about hearing what isn’t said.

If your brand stands for openness but your team communicates indirectly and with high politeness to avoid conflict … there’s a huge disconnect there.

Not in intention
but in behaviour.

The real work is creating congruency between culture, values, and how people actually communicate.

Today it is Yom Hashoah - Remembrance Day of the Holocaust, a very hard and sad day for the Jewish people and hopefully for anyone who believes in humanity.

It was not evil or God or anything else but people who stood by this and let Holocaust take place. Today we can see the repetition of same behaviours where people stand against each-other, where Jewish students aren’t allowed to enter universities (which was one of the first steps in how the holocaust started), where we see writings on building and streets that Jewish people don’t have a place in the world.

Let’s remember today and for the future, let us educate the younger generation where those behaviours led us and what it costs the human race.

Never Again! Never Again
Let’s keep the history in history books and learn from it
