Be Intentional: Culture Introduction by: Michelle Blevins Authors: Lisa Lavender Andrew G McCabe Jeremy Watkin Dr. Leroy Nunery II David Princeton Luke Draeger Jonathan L. Isaacson Chris Stanley Elan Pasmanick Publisher: The DYOJO Editors: Jonathan L. Isaacson and Tiffany Acuff How do the small things that you do contribute to enhancing or undermining your culture? Featuring a poem on culture by Elan "Born to Repair" Pasmanick The second book from The DYOJO Publications will be a collaborative effort with leaders in various industries sharing their experiences developing thriving cultures. In business, the question with regards to culture is not whether your organization has a culture. The question you should be asking is whether your culture has evolved by chance or because you have been intentional in developing it. If your goal is to have a healthy and thriving team, culture is the means through which you care for your organization. If you can identify, build, and staff around a culture that enhances your values, then your combined efforts will have greater focus and potency. The development of a culture becomes, through the process, a means of attracting, fostering, and retaining good team members. In short, take care of the culture because the culture is what cares for your people. If you want a better culture, the first step is to STOP doing those things that are undermining your development. This alone will help your growth. You accelerate this reduction of dysfunction by STARTING to identify and act upon those habits that enhance your culture. Applying both the stop and the start and you will soon be making noticeable advances towards your goals. We know bad culture when we see it, yet it may not always lend itself to clear definitions. <ul><li>Taking care of your culture is critical to taking care of your people. </li><li>Taking care of your people is essential to taking care of your customers. </li><li>Taking care of your customers is the foundation of a sustainable business. </li></ul> Therefore, developing, adapting, and caring for your culture is vital to your vitality as an organization. Your input of time, effort, and resources towards developing an intentional culture is directly linked to achieving optimal business outputs. As we continue to dig into this subject matter, the question we are asking is: What are some of the small things that have helped to enhance or undermine culture in the experiences of our talented group of authors? www.thedyojo.com/book2

Do you need to get more work as an independent adjuster? Are you just starting out and have zero experience? Are you interested in working property and/or auto claims? Are you an introvert and get nervous when talking to people? Then this book is for you. Part 1: The Principles&nbsp;of the Networking Adjuster's Playbook you'll never the principles behind great networkers including a case study of a young adjuster who broke into the property adjusting field without any experience. Learn&nbsp;how you can apply it in your independent adjusting career. Part 2: The Playbook&nbsp;includes a proven series of emails that works for easy the most introvert of IA's. Our case study and co-author Kagan Blackburn reveals what he did and how he did it. I helped him turn it into a templated series of emails that you can use when contact IA Firms. Never wonder what to say or when to say it, we've got your covered. Together, along with our proven process, make up what we call the IA Networking Machine. The five emails included are called, <ul> <li>The Baited Intro</li> <li>Investigative Probe</li> <li>Custom Response</li> <li>Hey, Can I Help?</li> <li>Surprise Visit</li> </ul> Part 3: The Practice provides a way to document your contact with IA Firms, write down contact information, notes, and the ability to create a networking system for up to 50 IA Firms inside of the book. <h1>Reviews for the Networking Adjuster's Playbook</h1> <h4>"Starting your career as an Independent Adjuster, the focus is on the technical aspects.&nbsp; Obviously, this is a crucial base, but assignments need to come through the door to show those technical skills in action.&nbsp; Networking is the pipeline to getting those assignments.&nbsp; Sure we can find courses and books on business networking, but they don't necessarily correlate to the adjusting field.&nbsp; We can find resources for specifics of adjusting, but those lack the nuances of building and maintaining relationships within our adjusting network.&nbsp; "Networking Adjuster's Playbook" is THE resource that blends these two worlds.&nbsp; This book breaks down the "what" and the "how" of networking for an adjuster in an easy, step-by-step manual that is loaded with additional resources." - John Bachman #1 Claims Guy on YouTube </h4> <hr /> <h4> </h4> <h4>"To say to all adjusters, new and seasoned, that Networking Adjusters Playbook is a must-read, is a gross understatement.&nbsp; The tips, tricks, and ideas contained within are spot on.&nbsp; If you are an independent adjuster and you don't follow the Playbooks advices, you are going to leave money on the table." - David Milton CEO of Telaclaims</h4> <hr /> <h4>"Success as an adjuster can be boiled down to "who you know", performance, and customer service. The Networking Adjuster's Playbook uses case studies, an actionable process, and time management tools to incorporate them under the umbrella of networking.&nbsp;At the end of the day, networking is about taking a contact (Warm or Cold) and following through until it is producing claims. .....and then MORE claims. The MORE claims is the secret sauce to success.&nbsp;Most adjusters think they are networking, but this book shows what to do, how to do it, and how to monitor progress to make sure we stay on track and we're seeing results." </h4> <h4>- Adam Painter host of the AdjusterShow</h4>
