WHAT’S NOT GOING TO CHANGE IN 10 YEARS?
The literature is very clear: when we are present, pausing to engage others, and taking time to observe our own behaviors in real-time, we show up with more persuasiveness, authenticity, and impact. This allows us the confidence to invite others into the conversation, which is essential in an ever-evolving world.

THE LEGACY OF GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS
I view the film Glengarry Glen Ross as a cautionary tale about fear, intimidation, and demotivation from a tyrannical business leader. Creating an atmosphere of Darwinian competition, especially within your own team, is a relic of the past.

The very best sales leaders know that real relationships are not transactional, they are human, experiential, and vulnerable.

DO YOU BELIEVE LIES?
Creativity and originality are high-risk, high-reward traits. Coming up with an original idea or approach goes hand in hand with self-doubt for a reason – it’s uncharted territory. To think outside the norm, it’s essential to acknowledge how comfortable the norms can be. We often shy from discomfort and retreat from pressure because we are out of our comfort zones.

WHAT A BLIND SPOT
We have lost the script on the role and art of facilitating engaging meetings. Meetings must invigorate your work in a concise and imaginative way instead of detracting valuable time (and energy) throughout the day. Let me remind you of three preparation questions that are guaranteed to improve meeting outcomes, encourage connectivity, and save time.
