Due to the continued success of the firm, CEO Matthew Stewart has become a leading advisor to young industry professionals. To mentor these aspirational individuals, Mr Stewart has been holding workshops and offering one on one guidance sessions for many years to help the industry’s rising stars fulfil their potential. This commitment recently resulted in Mr Stewart being invited to a national industry conference in London, where he delivered a critical speech to sales and marketing business owners. Speaking passionately about his experiences, his speech focused on the important conversations business leaders need to have with their workforces, and how the right conversations can have a dramatic impact on performance.

In light of this speaking engagement, Mr Stewart has opened up about why internal conversations need to be transparent, and how they are the cornerstone of an actively engaged workforce. A report by Kronos found that the biggest reason individuals leave a company is because of a lack of direction, and feelings that management misunderstands them. Effective conversations can eliminate these factors and is essential to securing business longevity. It’s crucial to understanding individual goals, which will then allow a leader to offer reward and recognition when these goals are accomplished, which raises morale and motivates the workforce.

Furthermore, Matt Stewart is confident that regular, open conversations within a business can level the playing field and cultivate a culture of innovation. ‘The most successful companies in the world encourage conversations between all levels and teams, without judgement.’ Outlines the CEO. ‘This promotes the freedom of ideas and celebrates different perspectives. I believe that by being open and driving conversations, businesses can look forward to fresh thinking, greater productivity and a refreshed sense of purpose for everyone’.
