Welcome to Confessions of an Implementer, a podcast by Talent Harbor. We share unique stories of implementers and the companies they’ve transformed to give you a rare glimpse into the system's successes and challenges. I'm your host, Ryan Hogan.   Let’s dive in!   In this episode, I sit down with Matt Hansen, an EOS Implementer, who shares how he shaped a career built on solving complex problems and leading with purpose. From breaking down challenges into actionable steps to building a culture of honest feedback, they highlight why kindness means tackling tough issues for the good of the team. Now focused on making an impact, instead of chasing titles, Matt reveals how data driven insights, open communication, and a commitment to core values create healthier teams and stronger businesses.   00:47 Journey into Engineering 02:12 Creating a Personal Development Program 04:20 Lessons from Engineering Education 06:22 Navigating Career Transitions 10:44 The Power of Perseverance 12:53 Building Trust and Leadership 19:13 Learning from Mistakes 22:50 Discovering EOS and Personal Values 24:27 Defining Core Values 22:04 The Right Number of Core Values 31:25 The Challenge of Providing Feedback 32:58 Breaking Through Communication Barriers 34:36 Identifying People Issues 36:23 Navigating Team Dynamics and Growth 40:42 The Role of Data in Decision Making 41:32 Ideal Client Profiles and Personal Connections 44:34 Making an Impact Beyond Titles   Episode Resources   Website: https://www.eosworldwide.com/matt-hansen LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-hansen001/ Phone: (615) 513-3892 Email: matt.hansen@eosworldwide.com
