Rick Ladendorf and Craig Marshall of Prevo Health Solutions  are often referred to as The Monk & The Mastermind. You'll find out why on this episode of Private Club Radio as we explore their new service to the private club industry. Rick and Craig share to amazing gifts with our audience, so make sure to stay tuned to the full episode.PREVO has been beta testing a new leadership program with private clubs from California to Florida in conjunction with Craig Marshall. Craig has mentored and met some of the world’s most successful people, including Steve Jobs, Ronald Reagan, Shirley Temple, Fred Segal and Beatle George Harrison. As a yoga monk, Craig traveled the globe for 35 years, teaching mindfulness & meditation, mentoring people from all walks of life.Private clubs that are mindful of and driven by purpose exemplify three main things:They stand up for something that they believe will deliver true value (or otherwise improve the lives of the customers).They stand out from competitors by intentionally and consistently delivering a distinctive customer experience (across all channels that is consistent with their promise).They stand firm by creating the appropriate culture (to ensure sustainable and authentic delivery over the long term).Rick Ladendorf, PREVO’s founder explains, “We have mapped the most pressing issues a club manager faces against the seven core constituencies, and then applied staff thinking and behavior patterns to an educational curriculum. Part of the training is delivered on site, and is enhanced by digital media, which resides on a platform - to provide accountability and measurement. Considering the costs associated with employee turnover – including interviewing, hiring, training, reduced productivity, lost opportunity costs, etc. – this is the actual cost to an organization: For entry-level employees, between 30%-50% of their annual salary to replace them. Some studies (such as SHRM) predict that every time a business replaces a salaried employee, it costs 6 to 9 months' salary on average. For a manager making $40,000 a year, that's $20,000 to $30,000 in recruiting and training expenses.Craig Marshall adds, “Amidst the challenge and change in today’s private club industry (not to mention in the wide world!), mindfulness is a core skill. “Mindfulness” education includes topics such as: living a conscious life, inspired leadership, aligning with your personal life-purpose, creating culture & community, becoming an innovative thinker, mastering change & transition and core communication skills. We call these the 7 Mindful Living Habits of a Sustainable Club™. The four immediate benefits from our program are:Tools to reduce stress.Ways to create greater personal responsibility among your team members.Understanding why positive focus will help everyone achieve their goals.The work-life balance necessary to create a healthy culture & avoid turnover.The goal is to build an inspired team and implement the club’s vision with all its stakeholders. Building such a culture and aligning your club’s vision with your operational plans requires specific skills, yet they will directly reduce turnover and help build a culture that will stand the test of time.Visit http://prevohealth.com to learn more. Follow us on the socials Private Club Radio InstagramPrivate Club Radio Linkedin Denny Corby Instagram Denny Corby Linkedin

On episode 175 we chat with Denny Corby whose comedy, magic and mind reading show for private clubs delights audiences around the country. This is Denny's second time on the show. He provided so much value last time, we had to have him back on again. On this episode we'll cover How clubs can create better experiences with the events they are doing at their clubs. You'll also learn how to showcase your club in different ways with the events you are doing. And you'll learn the one major thing clubs are NOT doing that's killing their events.Check him out at http://dennycorby.com and follow him on Instagram @DennyCorbyAbout DennyDenny fell in love with magic as a young kid growing up in Scranton, PA. His parents did everything they could to stir up his enthusiasm. They enrolled Denny in every magic class he could find and encouraged him to perform for friends and family as often as possible. The kid had a clear knack for entertainment.Denny’s family owned the only paper company in Scranton. Naturally, that made The Office a TV staple in the Corby house. If you met him, you’d swear he was a cross between Michael Scott and Jim Halpert (with a little bit of Andy Bernard thrown in).At the age of 16, Denny went to work for his parents. Between the paper business and a cleaning company his family owned, Denny had a hand in literally everything. From stripping floors and waxing bathrooms to loading trucks and making sales calls, Denny worked his tail off in the "real world.” Still, he couldn’t leave magic behind. While working for his parents, he continued to perform on nights and weekends.Denny began his college career at Marywood University in Scranton and finished it in 2004 at Bay State College in Boston. After school, he went back to work for his parents. He loved being a part of what his family had built but the tension between his day job and his passion for magic started to overwhelm him. Finally, Denny’s family encouraged him to step out and take a risk in doing what he truly loved.Four years later, Denny is a wildly successful magician, entertainer and keynote speaker. He performs regularly for a slew of corporate clients including Comcast, Tyson Foods, Berkshire Hathaway, and BMW. His shows range from intimate office gatherings of 20 to crowds of 2500 and everything in between.Through appearances on major cable networks like Fox and NBC, Denny has graced television screens across the country. He’s also put out an instructional DVD, Magic Tricks Now, showing people how to use some of his favorite tricks to impress their friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers.Wherever you meet him, Denny is guaranteed to make your day. He's a warm-hearted goofball who lives to make people laugh and see them smile. You'll never find him any happier than when he’s cracking jokes and having fun with friends, family, and even complete strangers.At the end of each show, somebody always asks whether magic is real. Denny’s answer is simple. For whatever bit of time he has, a magician gets to pull a crowd of people out of their crazy lives and fill them with a sense of joy and wonder. Instead of worrying about their jobs or their finances, each audience member is right there in their seat loving every minute of the show.Follow us on the socials Private Club Radio InstagramPrivate Club Radio Linkedin Denny Corby Instagram Denny Corby Linkedin
