A couple of months ago, I grabbed a sales/marketing call with my good friend Aiko Pickering. 🚨Disclaimer: by no means am I taking credit for the 99.9% of strategy and work she has put in. Only sharing my .1% She wasn’t seeing the results she wanted from paid advertising/marketing. So she asked for help on her IG story. During our hour long call, we talked about modern-day sales, personal branding, and building a community. One of the big takeaways was implementing Seth Godin’s “Permission Marketing” concept. And I went through the customer journey that initiates when people join my newsletter. And today she announced her newsletter, The Time of the Month Club, for her brand Monthly—which makes gender-inclusive, sustainable, and price-accessible period underwear for all people with a period. Honestly, at the end of our call, I just reminder her and confirmed what she wanted to do from the beginning—before the fundraising, product/market fit, and accelerator programs started—build/serve a community. Follow Monthly’s page and connect with Aiko!!! She’s really doing some special things!!! #PerformanceStrategy #Community #Sales #PersonalBranding #Marketing #Entrepreneurship

During today’s, UCR Staff Assembly and UCR LEAD – Staff Conference, I attended a remarkable and insightful session led by Jacob Ravenscraft on “Positive Traits to Fight the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team.” Here are the pivotal lessons that I learned, igniting profound reflections on team dynamics and strategies: 🚀 Don't let fear dictate trust; instead, strive for vulnerability and openness. 💡 Understanding "Working Genius" by Patrick Lencioni sheds light on seven different types of work that resonate with individuals. This awareness enables teams to optimize performance by aligning tasks with strengths and interests. 🤝 Conflict resolution isn't about who's right but what's right. Mastering conflict involves focusing on solutions and fostering a collaborative environment where every voice is valued. 💬 Decision-making in teams requires trust and transparency. Remember, silence often signifies disagreement, emphasizing the importance of creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to speak up. 📌 Prioritizing team buy-in is essential for success. Weighing in allows for commitment and ownership, leading to more robust decisions and outcomes. 👥 Leaders, it's essential to provide space for team input and to lead by example, embracing vulnerability, and demonstrating trust in the process. 🔍 Inspect before you expect—understanding individual and team dynamics is crucial for effective leadership and decision-making. 🌱 It's crucial to foster a healthy culture by acknowledging our faults and trusting our team to lead, especially in areas where we may feel weak. Overall, participating in Jacob's session was a transformative experience. I'm thankful for the chance to learn from such a dedicated and insightful leader. 🌟 #UCR2024StaffConference #UCRStaffAssembly #ProfessionalDevelopment #TeamDynamics #LeadershipInsights

So many incredible sessions. Everything from status of PSAP on-boarding in Canada, to just how many days left to onboard (532. If your PSAP hasn’t talked to their 9-1-1 network provider get moving!), sessions on diversity and treating callers fairly, the impacts of NG9-1-1 on the people taking the call, how AI factors in and of course GIS readiness. So much good information and great takeaways. #ng911 #wellness #publicsafety #countdown #gismapping
