The Solutionary Mindset with Michael Matherws, VP for Innovation and Technology, Oral Roberts University Join us as Michael Matthews shares his expertise on becoming a Solutionary - someone who applies their time, intellect, emotion, and passion to solve today's most pressing issues. By understanding that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions for everything but rather tailor-made answers for each problem at hand, Mike outlines how this concept is key in assisting clients and employees to reach better outcomes. Whether you're working in sales or leading an organization, it is worth tuning into our episode! Michael Matthews is a solutionary, or a problem solver, who drives innovation, sales, and results. He believes that a common mistake people make is trying to boil the ocean or doing too much too quickly. Anything is possible, but it's important to understand the timing and the season of the problem. Michael advises to use third-grade logic, pay attention to people's emotions, have compassion, and find a solution to the problem.
