Finding your Inner Sales

The days of having someone “do the sales” for you are over, we are all sales people now. Selling our products. Selling our services. Selling our ideas. Selling our innovation. Selling our brand. Selling our skills. In this new market economy, we are all salespeople, selling our ideas to our manager, selling your skills to a future employer, selling your products to a neighbour down the street and the list will go on. The difference today vs yesterday is the word “selling” – it’s not all for money and margins, it’s for recognition, self-confidence, quality of delivery, bonus features, brand

The Future of Training is Engagement

Think back to the best training session you ever attended. It could be one you attended, one that was held internally or maybe even one that you gave. What made it so special, what made it resonate with you and your team that when you left you all felt committed to take action and make something happen. What was the secret sauce in play? Now before you book your next training, hold it accountable to that bar, don’t let it waiver, it must hit or leap over that bar that you’ve set. Because you know you, you know your team

It doesn’t need to be your Idea

Anyone can come up with a good idea… even a semi-good idea… But can they execute on it? Can they put in all the work to make it happen? Can they deliver something so incredible that at the end of the day no one remembers the idea, but they remember the end result and the deliverable? Don’t get hung up on whether you thought up the next great idea of the century or if you are working on an idea someone else had that doesn’t want it anymore. Do get hung up on whether you turn it into something meaningful.

The First Day is always the Longest

You have to meet everyone (and remember their names). No one really knows who you are, so you are easy to forget, and will most likely not be assigned much to do. You’ll sit there wondering why you made this change from your last job to here, based on the fun texts you are seeing from your former colleagues all out a lunch together. The questions will start to rise within you – Did I make the right choice?  Should I be doing this?  What if it doesn’t work out? Answer – Yes, Yes and than you’ll find somewhere else.

Go For A Walk

Or Run. Or workout. Or shoot some hoops. Take in that free karate session. Lace up your skates and go for that public skate. Weed the garden. Build a table. Go jump in a lake. Go fly a kite. Go camping. Just do something, anything, that serves to give you a break from the everything and everyday that you are going through and lets you rest, relax and refocus so when you come back you are twice as better as before. And if you’re leading a team, you should be encouraging your team to do the exact same thing.  Make it
