Ep 137: Six Team Workshops & Counting: Why This CEO Keeps Bringing Me Back (with Jamie Keyzer)

Season 3 · Ep 137

About this episode

Two and a half years ago, I walked into Floorworld's National Support Office for the very first time.

Little did I know, I'd be back with that same team another five times over the coming years.

Along the way there's also been two of their annual awards nights I've MC'd - one in Brisbane, one more recently in Malaysia.

So either Jamie Keyzer, Floorworld's CEO, is a glutton for punishment, or something about these sessions is actually landing.

In this episode, I sit down with Jamie to find out which one it is (spoiler: it's the second one, but you'll want to hear why in his own words).

We talk about what was actually going on in his team back in February 2024 that made him think "we need outside help," whether he was fully sold on the idea of bringing in a performance coach or just taking a punt, and what's genuinely different in his team today that wasn't there three years ago - not the theory, the actual, observable stuff.

If you've ever wondered whether one workshop is enough to shift a team's culture, or you're the leader currently thinking "we don't have time for this right now" - this is the episode for you.
