Meet The TRIAD Group Founders- The Path Towards The Next-Level Leadership
“Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.”- Steve Jobs
As a part of the Morning Lazziness series about strong women leaders who attained success with their incredible ideas, I had the pleasure of interviewing Karen C, Jackie & Karen K.
Karen Kessler is a motivational speaker, author, and co-founder of ‘Triad Group of Companies,’ which helps accomplished professionals, entrepreneurs, and seekers of all stripes simplify leadership, clarify the skills required, and amplify the call for collective success.
With the combined experience at interviews and dynamically made videos of other two founders, Karen Collacut and Jackie Stickwood, Kessler has created this business specifically designed to give entrepreneurs and business owners the skills and resources to increase their impact and reach during and post quarantine.
Some of the utmost works of ‘Triad Group’ from 2020 are:
- Creation of ‘Triad Group of Companies,’ virtual office experience that increases productivity and engagement – bigbluedoor.triadgrouphq.com
- Their vital answers and discussions for entrepreneurs finding that networking is not working, including training, mentoring, and numerous curriculum development and learning platforms.
- Launch of the Next-Level Leader Centre of Excellence that houses all E-Learning and hybrid programs focused on Transformational Leadership skills.
Many thanks for doing this for us; please let our users know about the three of you and your business?
TRIAD was created as a force for the truth to create limitless development opportunities in a world of work that is undergoing dramatic change.
We exist to guide a leader’s eagerness to impact, enable Change Makers to go faster, and hold space for personal development and clarity. Connecting people with their Inner Mastery, we are passionate about empowering entrepreneurs to simplify their path, clarify their offering, and amplify their impact. Our legacy is empowered, capable, and resilient Change Makers who make change happen now and in the future.
You don’t do business with a company; you do business with people you like and trust. There is power in relationships that extends beyond a generic introduction. Shared values, goals, and stories lead to the types of connections that last forever -it’s like home.
The TRIAD team has woven together over the last ten years. Like magnets, Jackie, Karen K, and Karen C were drawn together on the instinct of a shared belief that good and generous souls can be successful in business. The magic would be combining their unique, hard-earned, extensive knowledge with their mastered skills and experience delivering change. Along the way, collaborating with others to achieve a unifying purpose for goodwill bring joy.
Alone, a person has power; but collectively, we have an impact. Traditionally, we have been taught to be competitive with one another because there was a scarcity of jobs, customers, and success. It’s so clear now that this old strategy was false. The truth is that raising each other up and channeling the power of collaboration is how we have changed the equation – and experience a lot more fun along the way.
Everyone deserves to know that they are beautiful, strong, courageous, powerful, and competent. We defy that inner voice asking you to prove you have a voice. We can move through the fear, doubt, and anything else set in our way. We rise by lifting others.
How did the three of you get this business idea, and what skills do you think are most important for today’s entrepreneurs?
We started with knowing we wanted to work and play together. The quarantine provided a unique space to bring our perspectives, beliefs, and skills together. The project we started to see how we would work together was abandoned quickly as we found that our mix was magical and needed to be something much more than a project. Our first focus was to take what we knew about curriculum development, training, and eLearning systems to assist anyone who wanted to avoid the struggle of the building that know/like/trust factor online when they excelled at in-person connection. Our Share, Your Brilliance bundle, was born!
Here are the three skills we prioritized for our fellow Entrepreneurs and set out to teach them.
- It is true that networking is not working – at least not like before. The ability to create deep value even when you are not present is key. This is where curriculum development skills come in. There are key patterns of training that create personal experiences and lead to deep and engaging learning.
- Hierarchy of Ideas – the skill of switching perspectives. This is a key skill in life. In business, it is critical. Large corporations hire people to hold the strategic, management, and tactical perspectives. Solopreneurs will be challenged by their bandwidth (how abstract and how specific they can go). For us, each one excels at a different point on the scale, and together we have a very large bandwidth.
- Next-Level Leadership skills. Our own research into leadership has identified five spectrums of leadership that weave together to increase the possibility of impact and reach for leaders. Personal Mastery, Interdependence, Active Growth, Influence, and Grounded Alignment.
What makes your successful marketing strategies different from other business people? How do you make it productive?
We invested early in a marketing company that really got us. They were as excited about our offerings as we were. They created a cohesive brand and started with an awareness strategy. There is consistency to the branding that is working well. The next phase will be a program launch, and we are engaging with another firm that loves the numbers. It is so key to have everyone doing their ‘piece of cake’ – the thing they love to do.
What are your plans for the future? How do you plan to grow this company?
We discovered early on that this is a very large company, and it is key that it does not depend solely on the three of us. We have three strategies to support and create growth.
