Using Content to Drive Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett


 
Tom Fox welcomes back Jeffrey Hayzlett to this week’s episode of the Innovation in Compliance Podcast. Jeffrey is the CEO and Chairman of The C-Suite Network. In this episode, Tom and Jeffrey explore where the business world is as the year comes to an end.  
 

 
The Changing Business Community
Tom asks Jeffrey to reflect on what businesses are responding to now. “That there are no old ways; there are all going to be new ways,” he remarks. The mood of business is shifting, and businesses are simply going to have to adapt. There aren’t going to be offices in the way they used to be because the pandemic has shown that businesses can operate well remotely. The focus is going to be on how to utilize these new environments in the best way, as well as how to effectively and safely monitor them. Companies are changing the ways they do business as well: before the pandemic content was not a priority; now it is. “You have to be able to use content to drive the business,” Jeffrey iterates. Sometimes content will not generate as much money as you did previously, but it will generate engagement and reach more people. “You have to change, adapt, or die,” Jeffrey insists. 
 
Grow, But Mitigate Risk
The C-Suite Network encourages senior management to mitigate risk as much as possible. Companies have to grow while doing this, however. “If you’re not growing, you’re dying,” Jeffrey tells Tom. Risk is always going to exist in business, but it cannot hinder you as a leader, especially a C-Suite one. “Our job is to be the most strategic people in the room,” Jeffrey adds. Asking the right questions, understanding the directions of the CEOs of the companies they counsel, and assessing the processes and tools these companies have, are all part and parcel of how C-Suite leaders think about, and mitigate risk. 
 
Where Do We Go From Here
Tom asks Jeffrey where he sees in-person conference business going in the coming years. “You’re either gonna have really small groups or really big ones…not much in between,” Jeffrey responds. It’s going to be much more difficult in the coming years for speakers to have sustainable careers because of the digital era the world is in, and because audience preferences are changing. “If you’re not a subject matter expert, if you’re not a celebrity, it’s going to be a long road for you as a professional speaker…You’re really gonna have to have credentials,” he adds. Most people are going to be looking for experts to give them advice on how to move from point A to point B, or for celebrities who can draw people in and help fill a room. “Those are the things that are going to be the key driving factors in the future,” Jeffrey concludes.

Reframing The C-Suite Network with Jeffrey Hayzlett


 
Jeffrey Hayzlett is a global business celebrity, the CEO of The Hayzlett Group and the founder of The C Suite Network. He is a primetime television and podcast show host, author, and a keynote speaker. As a leading business expert, Jeffrey has shared his insight and expertise through various television networks and around the world via his travels. Tom Fox welcomes him to this week’s episode as they discuss the C-Suite Network, diversity, and the effects of COVID-19 on executives.
 

 
Pivoting in The Pandemic
The pandemic made Jeffrey and his team consider what they could do differently about their network conferences. “It really got down to the fundamental piece . . . we really don’t have to be together, meaning face-to-face to do the work that we need to do,” Jeffrey tells Tom. Tom remarks that this approach transformed the C-Suite Network as its membership grew exponentially. The key element, Jeffrey stresses, is that everyone wants to come together to do something together, and to learn and share each other’s expertise. 
 
Having the Hard Conversations
As executives, we need to have the difficult discussions surrounding diversity no matter how uncomfortable they may make us. “I think we all think we know what we know, and we all think we know what other people go through; and we don’t,” Jeffrey says. We need to have frank and open discussions around diversity, and stop trying to coach our language and just address these topics and issues. We should approach these conversations with the understanding that we don’t intend to hurt anyone.
 
The New Normal
Jeffrey tells Tom that the way we usually conduct our errands and our business will change post-pandemic. “I don’t think you’re going to have certain things go back to the way what people would say is normal, we’re going to have whatever normal is.” Business events will also be smaller in capacity, Jeffrey states. “There’s gonna be a real hybrid,” he comments: events will be partly face-to-face and partly online.
