Close Up Radio

Long Branch, NJ -- Claire Chandler is the founder of Talent Boost (2013) and a leadership coach and strategist with a long history of expertise in human resources functions. She has also been called, tongue in cheek, a leadership therapist. Sometimes it is an executive who needs to hone their skills, sometimes it is tactical support for hiring and performance, and ever more so it is a matter of shaping the future of HR. There is usually a disparity between how an HR leader sees things and the way a Financial or Operations Manager would set the priorities. When looking at things through the lens of people, the most impactful growth is achieved. Claire and her team help plan hiring strategies, build an incubator for talent, and establish growth milestones. She sees the different lenses in a Venn Diagram, and designs programs around the criteria in the central sweet spot. Claire will delve into such human resource concepts in her upcoming radio show. She will also talk about the book she authored, Growth on Purpose. The book enables leaders at all levels to learn the 4-pillar methodology that will attract, retain, engage and advance the right talent---people who can grow their business. She refers to these pillars with A words: Aspiration, Awareness, Acceleration and Alignment. She says people want a future they can buy into and accomplish more if they've been invited to create, as well as follow, the roadmap.

Little River, CA - Tucked away in the lush environs of Northern California, The Andiron—Seaside Inn & Cabins offers an eclectic blend of lodging experiences that do more than provide a hearth; they tell a story. Whether you're seeking the cozy sensibilities of a 1950s post-modern design or the curiosities of nature, The Andiron has uniquely themed accommodations sure to delight every visitor. Co-owners R. Scott Connolly and Madeline Stanionis embarked on this journey in 2008 to create a guest haven that reflects their passion for creativity, history, and community. Formerly the dean of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, Scott faced significant challenges navigating the socio-political landscape of higher education. ?The incoming students took on theological degrees as political cudgels, and it created a tense atmosphere,? Scott recalls. The decision to acquire the inn during his sabbatical was serendipitous. ?We stumbled upon this property a week before my sabbatical was up. Although it typically takes nine months to finalize such deals, we were willing to bet on it—and it paid off.? Built in 1959 and steeped in historical and cultural richness, The Andiron offers 11 uniquely decorated cabins and rooms, each telling its own story. Each space is adorned with floor to ceiling chalkboards, unique murals, and features rich in personal and historical narratives. Balancing nostalgia, creativity, and eco-friendliness, The Andiron remains a compelling retreat. ?We have adapted well and continue to thrive,? remarks Scott. For more information about R.
