A Case for Wisdom – Thomas Chappell

A Case for Wisdom – Thomas Chappell

If you are starting your own business or you are an entrepreneur and you are looking for a tremendous jump in success, our next guest is the person you need to talk to.

With over 28 years of experience helping people and organizations make complex projects successful, Tom Chappell helps you to become innovative in solving problems. With a “human-centered” design process, Thomas helps you to understand the situation looking at it from your customers’ needs and services. You will recognize the challenges that are impacting your operations, learn new strategies and be able to design solutions that people want! And, you will have higher engagement from employees to partners and show a significant ROI on your projects.

From the “Breakthrough Strategies Group” in Stafford, Virginia, help me welcome to the program, my good friend, and Army veteran, Thomas Chappell!  Tom, it’s great to finally get you on the program!

Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Thomas Chappell?”

You mainly work in the area of helping leaders lead. Making better decisions. When I was in the Army, we learned the “Decision Making Process.” There is nothing wrong with gathering information before making a decision – but what I see today is basically, “decision making paralysis.” There is just “too much information” available. Is that what you see?

That’s why you tend to focus on “wisdom” in the decision making process?

I learned the old fashioned way – by “making mistakes” and telling myself, “I ain’t doing that anymore!”  That developed “wisdom” fast!  But that is not what you advocate, correct?

What do you mean by “combining knowledge with wisdom?”

You have a term, “wisdom is hard to earn but easily dismissed.” What do you mean by that?

What about this “lack of foundation in the “true” rather than “the Truth?”  What does that mean?

What was one of the biggest “ah-ha” moments you’ve experienced in your work?

Tom, this is all so interesting. If someone wants to learn more, ask a question or get in touch with you, how can they do that? How can someone get in more information?

I’ll put links to all of that in the show notes below.

Folks, I’ve known Tom for several years now. And being a former soldier – I know his decision making ability is top notch and he is more than able to pass that knowledge on to YOU. Amen!

That’s one thing I love about the military, the decision making process is taught from day one basic training and it never quits over your entire career. That is why so many leaders in businesses today are prior military. Amen!

Put Tom’s knowledge and skills to work in your organization. Bring him in to take a look and identify things that can be improved. For most of us, it takes an outsider coming in and looking around, asking questions and then providing you feedback to show you things you just took for “normal” but when fixed – can make a HUGE difference in your bottom line.

It’s that old “but that’s the way we have always done it” mentality that is holding you back. Break out of that mentality right now!  Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Tom Chappell and begin to make those improvements that will propel you forward into the this next year in profitability and growth that you desire. Amen!

About the Podcast

Faith Based Conversations
The Intersection of Faith and Business
Faith Based Conversations — The Intersection of Faith and Business

For years, Faith-Based Business Podcast was built around one central idea: your faith and your business were never meant to operate separately.

Now, that mission is entering a new chapter.

Welcome to FaithBased Conversations with Pastor Bob Thibodeau — where meaningful conversations about faith, business, calling, leadership, entrepreneurship, ministry, and Kingdom impact come together.

FaithBased Conversations builds on the foundation established through the Faith Based Business podcast while expanding the conversation beyond business alone.

Pastor Bob brings more than 15 years of Christian broadcasting and podcasting experience to the program. Through Evangelism Radio and the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, he has spent years helping Christian leaders, authors, pastors, entrepreneurs, and believers share their stories and messages. Along the way, he has conducted more than 1,200 interviews.

Now, those conversations are returning — with a new name, an expanded vision, and a new platform.

FaithBased Conversations is now a lot more than an audio podcast.

Selected interviews will also be produced for television and broadcast on JesusSaid.tv, giving guests the opportunity to share their stories through both podcasting AND streaming Christian television.

Each conversation goes beyond simply asking, “What do you do?”

We want to know, "Why do you do it?

How has your faith influenced your decisions? What have your successes and failures taught you? How has God used your experiences to shape your calling? What does putting your faith into action look like on Monday morning? And how can what you’ve learned encourage someone facing similar challenges?

Guests may include Christian entrepreneurs, business leaders, Christian authors, speakers, pastors, ministry leaders, coaches, and others with experiences and insights worth sharing.

Some conversations will focus on business. Others may focus on ministry, leadership, personal transformation, overcoming adversity, answering God’s call, or discovering purpose.

But every conversation comes back to the same foundation: Faith matters.

We believe our Faith should influence how we live, lead, serve, and conduct our business.

For longtime listeners of Faith Based Business Podcast, you’re still in the right place. Only the name has changed, but the foundation remains the same. We’re simply opening the door to a broader conversation and a larger audience.

From our roots in Christian radio and podcasting to the opportunities now available through streaming television, our mission remains simple:
TO GET THE WORD OUT!

If God has given you experiences, insights, a business, a ministry, a book, or a message that could encourage and equip others, we’d love to hear your story.

Welcome to FaithBased Conversations with Pastor Bob Thibodeau.
The Intersection of Faith and Business.

Listen through your favorite podcast platform and watch selected conversations on JesusSaid.tv, ROKU and soon, AppleTV and Amazon Fire TV!

We continue to use every availble voice to GET THE WORD OUT because -
HIS WORDS MATTER!
