Kristy Grant-Hart, Joe Murphy, and Kirsten Liston are Tom Fox’s guests on this week’s episode of the Innovation in Compliance Podcast. Kristy is the CEO and founder of Spark Compliance Consulting, as well as an author and keynote speaker. Joe is currently the editor of the Compliance &amp; Ethics Professional magazine, and the Director of Public Policy. Kirsten is a certified Compliance and Ethics Professional, an author, and a keynote speaker. They join Tom to talk about their book ‘The Compliance Entrepreneur’s Handbook’, and what insights compliance professionals can use from it in their organizations. The GenesisThe Compliance Entrepreneur’s Handbook is about helping people who want to go into business in the compliance and ethics field. Kristy explains that there was an initial presentation and that the three of them were assigned sections of the book to write. “Each one of us wrote an original draft of those sections, switched them so that each person made comments on them, and then I did the edit where we put it all together. So it had essentially one voice but you can still pretty clearly hear the dynamics and the interesting stories of each individual person, and that's how it came to be,” she tells Tom. What Do You NeedThe book is structured to answer the questions of ‘What do I do now?’ ‘What decisions can I make?’ and ‘Who should I partner with?’ It shows entrepreneurs how to execute a compliance startup, as well as critical marketing, sales, and exit strategies. An exit strategy is especially important, and something entrepreneurs don’t think about in the beginning. “If your plan doesn't include an exit, then it's the wrong plan. You don't have to exit in five years but you should be thinking about making your business ready to sell,” Kristy stresses.  An Entrepreneur’s AdviceTom asks Kristy, Kirsten, and Joe to share their top pieces of advice to individuals who wish to start the entrepreneurship journey. Kirsten emphasizes nailing down the money, setting up your account, and knowing how to read a balance sheet. “You need to make sure you’re selling something for a profit, and that that profit is reaching you soon enough to pay for the work to deliver it,” she remarks. Kristy stresses on planning to have a business. Most people get caught up in the idea of having a business but do not plan for it, nor do they take into account all the legal documents that are needed or putting their website together. Joe shares some insight for entrepreneurs who are introverts. “Don't think just because you're an introvert you can't do this. You just need to team with people who have complementary skills. One [other] piece of advice I have for anybody going into business is read the Wall Street Journal every day,” he says. The Best and Worst Parts of Being an EntrepreneurThe best part of being an entrepreneur to Kirsten is owning the business. All the profit and all the successes are yours, and all the decisions are your own to make. On the other side, one of the worst parts of being an entrepreneur is that you own the business. Meaning that any losses or failures are yours to bear, and that your employees look to you to fix the problems that may occur. An advantage of being an entrepreneur to Kristy is the freedom to develop strategy, and the freedom to make choices without anyone telling you no. Alternatively, a disadvantage to her is managing the emotional aspect of it all. For Joe, the best and worst parts of being an entrepreneur is the freedom and control over what you do professionally but being treated like you don’t belong [in the compliance realm] because you’re a vendor.

Episode 30: Self-Teach with Kirsten Liston

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley. In this week’s episode of Great Women in Compliance, Mary Shirley sits down with Kirsten Liston to talk about some of the old school ways of Compliance training and more modern approaches that will help better get your message across. Kirsten’s a pretty darn good authority on effective Compliance training – she’s just released a book on the very subject called “Creating Great Compliance Training in a Digital World”. Some of the highlights include: Compliance programs used to be evaluated simply by having certain fundamentals in place.  Policies? Check. Training? Check.  Hotline for reporting? Check.   Compliance has now evolved to where regulators are asking questions about whether the aforementioned cornerstones of your compliance program are any good. Are they effective?  Do they help employees do their jobs in a more ethical way? Do employees understand what is required of them?  Do they retain education and messaging?  Are they receiving it often enough?  The considerations nowadays go far beyond the mere existence of controls.We bust the following myths:Legalese driven language is the only way to go.  Let’s make materials that appear to have been written by lawyers, for lawyers.  After all, Compliance is a serious topic.In order to be sufficiently comprehensive and really teach the learner everything they need to know; Compliance training should be at least an hour long to view or read.Annual training needs to cover every single risk area under the sun, every year, otherwise we’re leaving ourselves open to scrutiny from regulators.We round out the episode to consider whether being “too nice” is an impediment to success.

Kirsten Liston on Training that Resonates 

By Adam Turteltaubadam.turteltaub@corporatecompliance.orgCompliance training is both essential to the effectiveness of every compliance and ethics program and an ongoing source of consternation:  Are we doing too much or too little?  Are the courses too long or too short?  Are employees understanding and retaining the learning or are they just clicking through the courses?To help answer these and countless other questions, the SCCE asked Kirsten Liston, a veteran of the compliance training industry and Principal and Founder of Rethink Compliance, to write a book on the topic.  The result is Creating Great Compliance Training in a Digital World.Over its 150 pages the book takes the reader through the principles of effective communication and training for adults.In this podcast Kirsten explains how the book is organized and her focus on providing practical advice on how to communicate effectively and from the perspective of the learner.  She leverages thinking from fields as diverse as advertising and behavioral psychology to show what gets people to pay attention,  engage with the training and take action.She also explores the importance of measuring the effectiveness of the training and the importance of figuring out what works and what doesn’t.Listen in to learn more about the book and how to think about your own training efforts.   Or check out a preview of it online on COSMOS.
