As leaders, we cannot afford to rest on our laurels or what we have done well. In order to keep seeing success on our teams, in the work that we do, and in our lives, we have to commit showing up and doing the work. Paying the rent, if you will, because success really is just rented. Yes, we can leave legacies and lasting impressions on people...but that's in the past and usually after we've left a place. If we want a successful today and future tomorrow, we have to be willing to keep putting in the work and effort. Let's lead well this week! #jsgoldsberry #leadwell #leadershipdevelopment

Mythical or Material? Does the unicorn exist?? I've often referred to myself as a "recovering sales person." This wasn't intended as a slight to sales professionals, rather the way I'd been trained to sell. I've attended or led most every sales training program that exists throughout my career. Many of the programs taught how to manipulate, strong-arm and "sell" your way to sales closes, quotas and goals. We even learned to "modify the narrative" to "place the product." Please, don't get it twisted, there are some solid programs out there, I just never found success with those models. I simply felt frustration and embarrassment around my profession. I longed for sales training that led with integrity, recognized there can be more than one winner, and taught that different personality types can find consensus when you meet each other where you are. 57% of companies have the word "integrity" in their mission statement, so meaningful training has to exist, right? But I felt like I was seeking the Loch Ness Monster or hunting Big Foot. 🤔 Perhaps, I thought, I'll build a different type of sales training one day. I won't be building it...I joined the dream team instead. You may not have heard of Integrity Solutions before, but our clients sure have. Integrity Solutions works with F-500 companies (yes, you'd definitely know their logos) and more mid-market companies than I could name. Many of our clients have been with us for decades (again, yes, literally decades). Integrity Solutions has been changing the sales mindset of countless companies and millions of sales professionals since 1968. 🚀 I assure you, you'll see more of Integrity Solutions in the coming weeks, months and years. 🚀 I've appreciated the kind, congratulatory messages this week. Based upon my experience with Integrity Solutions thus far, I can say with confidence; "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!"

Food for thought on Leadership: We have to lift as we climb. If you lead a team of people, you must create unambiguous pathways for advancement. Be the person you needed or wished you had when you were navigating through your career. #leadershiplessons #Liftasweclimb #goodleadershipmatters

We need such Leaders in an organisation. Such recognition goes a long way. Motivation is power. A core ingredient in driving employees to be and achieve the best. Too much talking has no effect at all! As leaders, we need motivational tools. #inspired #motivate #leadership #recognition #valuingefforts

Happy International Women’s Day! I have the privledge to lead and take part in many Women’s Leadership groups at work including giving women’s leadership talks and mentoring. I strongly believe the value behind today. You never know the full impact you can have on a person. A couple quotes that resonate with me and I wanted to share: - “Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” ― Brené Brown - “You can always tell who the strong women are. They are the ones you see building one another up instead of tearing each other down.” – Unknown - “If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader.” – Dolly Parton - “I can’t think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.” – Emma Stone - “Empowering those around you to be heard and valued makes the difference between a leader who simply instructs and one who inspires.” – Adena Friedman

Think about this during this 3rd week of Leadership Love Month: If you do not build relationships with your clients, you will not have a viable business for long. #loveyourclients #clientappreciation #clientsatisfaction #buildingrelationships https://lnkd.in/e6HJGCck

When clients know that we care about them, they return that care and concern with recommendations, referrals and repeat business. Do your clients know that you are truly concerned about them - business notwithstanding? #showclientsyoucare #clientservices #loveyourclients #clientfocused
