CEOWORLD magazine

Opinion Columnist

Paige Technologies

I have partnered with Paige technologies because of this paragraph on their corporate page: 
"We, at Paige, grew restless with a one-dimensional 'commodity' staffing approach - where success was defined by a number of skill matches. We knew there had to be a better way. We knew success was more than the match of a job to a skill - people have a lot more to give and companies deserve the whole person. We wanted to go beyond the match. We wanted to pair a person with an organization based on 'dimensional compatibility' - the skill, the values, the work habits, and the personality."

Many people have found themselves in the position of needing work. Paige focuses on the relationship side of the business and together, it will be our mission to fill every position in Kansas City, while providing value to every candidate we have the opportunity to meet. 

If you are looking for a job in the technology industry or maybe looking at some point connect with one of our industry experts today!

Lead Business Partner - Future Store Process 

I believe that in an increasingly disconnected world, our greatest challenges can only be solved by working together. The future will be built by teams and groups working in true synergy - where the whole becomes dramatically greater than the sum of its parts. 
Through IN8 Create, I guide teams on their journey from functional to exceptional, helping them overcome the friction that holds them back, whether from personal differences, technology barriers, or workplace dynamics. 
Using hands-on experiences, we help unlock the collective genius that exists within every organization, because teamwork isn't just important - it's essential for navigating the frontiers ahead.

The IN8 Create Approach
Using methods like LEGO® Serious Play, design thinking, and custom-crafted workshops, we create environments where:

✅Introverts engage as actively as extroverts
✅Communication becomes clear and concise
✅Listening is driven by genuine curiosity
✅Focus and participation thrive
✅Fun and memorability are built in

Our sessions are designed to bridge generational gaps, fostering collaboration across diverse age groups and experience levels. We don't just build teams; we architect innovations in teamwork.


Next Steps: 
If you're ready to go beyond team building, we're the right partner. 

We've worked with companies like Amazon, Samsung, Major League Baseball and Spotify.   Contact and connect with me see how our programs can come to life for you.  


"The entire team loved the opportunity to bring our values to life through the LEGO® workshop.  It was exciting to see how developing articulations of our values in a physical and tangible way engaged each member of our team in unique and insightful ways. Brandon did a great job of connecting the work we have been doing as a team to bring these values to life in a fun and memorable workshop for our team." Alex Miller, Chief Commerce Officer - PERPAY

When information is missing, we fill in the blanks and assume the worst.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Middle of a town hall with the CEO, my phone vibrated with a meeting invite - my SVP and HR. No context. No agenda.

Instantly, I knew I was getting laid off.

When this hits, it's like a danger alarm goes off in your mind. Income's gone. What will I do? Where will I go? How much severance? Who can I call to get the ball rolling? Should I be open to moving? Should I start my own business? Can I even do that?

And so on, and so on.

I've been on the receiving end of this kind of news 3 times. I figured out 2 of the 3 in advance.

People aren't dumb - they puzzle these things out. When there are blanks, we fill them in. And when you leave them empty, we assume the worst.

The same happens when leadership stays silent during tough times, during change, during transformation. If space is left empty, people will fill in the blanks.

Silence is communication too.

For my friends and colleagues impacted by layoffs - from my time as a career coach at an outplacement firm (think: all laid off people), although the event is jarring, disorienting, and painful, most land in better places they couldn't have imagined before. (And please reach out if I can help)
