The product name can be the most critical element of a new product launch. It has to be original, relevant, and hopefully memorable. The biggest problem faced by companies when picking a name for their new products is that there are already many competing brands in the same category with similar or identical names. There are many naming strategies available that can help you to choose the name.Join Brad Flowers and me from Bullhorn Creative to share his strategy and exercises for successful branding and naming efforts.https://www.thenamingbook.comCheck out https://www.schmidt-list.com for more show infoWant to learn more about my company? https://www.foundrymakes.com/Questions about the equipment used in this video? https://kit.co/KRTS/schmidt-list-live-streaming-kitFollow us on all the things!https://twitter.com/Schmidt_Listhttps://www.instagram.com/schmidtlistpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/schmidtlist/

Technology has made a virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) a hot topic in recent years.

Imagine if your team is functioning as a single unit. In this ideal state, your teammates are invested in one another's success. They share both their successes and failures with each other, openly and with trust. They welcome others' input and criticism. They listen to new ideas, even if they're outside their comfort zone.It's a nice thought – a team that truly works together towards a shared goal, where each member feels safe enough to take risks and explore their path without being judged or put down by others. But how do you create this kind of team? The good news is that psychological safety can be learned by feeling safe enough to take risks and be vulnerable. Join Tara Swanson from Industrial Logic, Inc. and me to discuss the factors that may be holding teams back from developing psychological safety.Check out https://www.schmidt-list.com for more show infoWant to learn more about my company? https://www.foundrymakes.com/Questions about the equipment used in this video? https://kit.co/KRTS/schmidt-list-live-streaming-kitFollow us on all the things!https://twitter.com/Schmidt_Listhttps://www.instagram.com/schmidtlistpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/schmidtlist/

Many people are caught in the trap of finding a balance between their personal and professional lives. This pressure is prevalent in corporate America, where workers often feel as if they are being pulled in multiple directions every day. Parents struggle to balance work and family, leaving little time for friends or hobbies outside their home. While this type of schedule may be impossible to avoid entirely, those who manage their time well live longer and have healthier overall lifestyles that benefit them both at work and home.One of the reasons people who find balance in their lives are healthier overall is that they have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. A balanced individual also tends to be happier, which leads to less depression and stress. When a person is more comfortable at home, they tend to perform better at work, which results in more promotions and pay raises. This cycle of success can be highly beneficial in the workplace, where a person with higher-level management skills is more productive.While finding a balance between work and personal life may seem like an impossible task to those unfamiliar with time-management techniques, there are ways to make this balance more realistic. Making small changes such as leaving work on time every day, setting deadlines and sticking to them, taking lunch breaks instead of eating at the desk, or even scheduling one night a week to be “date night” with your significant other can help you achieve a healthier lifestyle.If you feel like your life is always on the go and if you're stressed out right now because of it, then join Sarah Engstrom and me as we share some practical advice on how to create more balance in your work and life!Check out https://www.schmidt-list.com for more show infoWant to learn more about my company? https://www.foundrymakes.com/Questions about the equipment used in this video? https://kit.co/KRTS/schmidt-list-live-streaming-kitFollow us on all the things!https://twitter.com/Schmidt_Listhttps://www.instagram.com/schmidtlistpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/schmidtlist/
