Needing to Be Right, Staying Too Long, and Expecting the Organization to Love You Back: AmyJo Mattheis

Founder & CEO of Pavo Navigation Consulting

Show notes: https://www.markgraban.com/mistake69

My guest for Episode #69 is AmyJo Mattheis, the founder and CEO of her firm Pavo Navigation Consulting.

She has worked in international development, government, higher education, and religion — a professor and a pastor. Works a lot with high-tech startups… she has managed teams, built roadmaps, facilitated groups, navigated boards, set vision, and led thousands of people to bring them into form.

Questions and topics include:

• What were AmyJo's three favorite mistakes?
  Needing to know the answer (or thinking I had to be right)
  Staying too long in a job
  Expecting the organization to “love you back” (even if that's a church)
  
• How do you learn it’s a problem?
• Somatic indicators – signals?
• Is it fixable? Is it mine to fix? Advice: set a timeline to see if it can be better
• Knowledge vs. assumption
• Being right vs. testing hypotheses
• Coaches people all the time who beat themselves up over mistakes — accepted part of the culture
• Believing it was my responsibility to make everything right or successful
• Founders in Silicon Valley and Venture Capital firms… fail fast, fail early? Easier said than done

“I am exactly where I am meant to be, doing what I am supposed to do, at the exact time and place it is needed. All of where I have been now culminates into a potent product that brings results of increase for all and a new pathway to profit for you, your company, organization, or institution.”
