Atomic Business Coaching-Episode 44

A New Era for the 'Purple Collar Professional' In this episode, Adam and Tom explain the term "purple collar" professional, which they use to describe individuals who are skilled in both physical and knowledge-based work and own a business. They highlight how these individuals usually grapple with balancing their varying work responsibilities and often turn to coaching for support.  Tom explains that "blue-collar" involves hands-on labor, while "white-collar" work revolves around back-office operations such as negotiating contracts and reviewing documents. Adam adds that the role of a "purple collar" professional requires more labor, interacting with clients, using tools, and more physical work.  Adam and Tom further clarify that a "purple collar professional" must also balance the analytical aspects, which involve using their business acumen and computer skills to produce reports and perform tasks that don't necessarily involve physical labor.  Adam points out that blue-collar workers who advance to managerial positions often find themselves juggling white-collar responsibilities as well, and the addition of business operations can be overwhelming.  Tom relates that many purple-collar professionals approach them when they realize they need assistance, often feeling physically and mentally exhausted.  Adam emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's strengths and delegating roles accordingly. They shared the example of a restoration company owner who delegated blue-collar tasks to focus on customer interactions and business growth.  Adam and Tom stress the importance of their coaching program, "Find New Direction," in helping purple-collar business owners identify areas they can delegate.   Be part of the conversation and learn valuable insights from industry experts:  Check out our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/321628173691426 Follow us on Instagram: @atomicbusinesscoachingSubscribe to the Atomic Business Coaching YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@atomiccoachingVisit the Atomic Business Coaching Website: www.atomicbusinesscoaching.comConnect with Atomic Business Coaching on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/atomic-business-coaching/ Get your copy of The Morning Meeting on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3MxQ9jr Get your copy of Adam and Tom's new book The Atomic Game Changer: https://amzn.to/44v73VZ The views expressed on air during the Atomic Business Coaching Podcast do not represent the views of RAGE Works staff, partners, or affiliates.
