“Ask and you shall receive.” It’s like many of those expressions that have been with us for so long that we forget their meaning. But that one resonated with me in full force the other day during a networking coffee. I had initiated the meeting because someone in my sphere had run for an open Minnesota House of Representatives seat, and I wanted to pick their brain about the experience. Now, our politics are different, and I specifically avoided ideology during our discussion, focusing instead on the nuts and bolts of the campaign. But something interesting happened during the discussion. The more we talked, the more I learned about this person’s views. And the more I learned, the more context I gained. I asked for something, and I received it all right: precious insight that I wouldn’t have had if I hadn’t initiated the meeting. A reminder to approach every meeting with questions and without assumptions. Plus, try to listen more than you talk. I look forward to having more of these meetings as the year progresses. And I’d love it if one of them included you. Contact me and let’s make it happen.

If there was ever a time that sales and revenue teams needed a shot of inspiration, now is certainly it! But motivational speeches by themselves won't cut it. They also need solid, pragmatic insights on how to serve more customers in a way that taps into their strengths and natural passion. Read and gift The Unsold Mindset: Redefining What It Means to Sell to everyone on your team. Even better, read the book and then have Garrett Brown and Colin Coggins at your next team event.

Hello 👋🏾 I have two questions for those who have pitched themselves to speak at events: 1. What’s the one thing I need to know to help me get a yes from event organizers? 2. What’s one mistake I should avoid when creating a pitch?

I often get asked what does Mews do and what do you do at Mews. Our CEO Matthijs Welle explains this so well in a 3 minute pitch on what Mews does for the hospitality industry. So what do I do at Mews? I guide and advise large and complex hotel chain operations in their transition to 21st century hotel tech. Many of them come from older legacy systems, which brings along many change management issues. And although it's not always easy, the 3 minute video below shows exactly why hotels and their guests need Mews! #Mews #hoteltech

Today's post, isn't actually from me, or something I've either said, done or achieved. It's not about a client, their business, and the success they are celebrating. It's not even about a sport I know much about, or have ever participated in. Today, I'm sharing this short extract, from Ben Hunt-Davis MBE, as he discusses and extract from his book "Will it make the boat go faster" You see, for the last few weeks now, I've seen more and more people in business get far too caught up in the result. I keep hearing people talk about needing more enquiries, more conversions, more sales, more revenue, more growth. I spent a whole day this week at an event where the audience were hungry for more But, I'm seeing less and less people look within, and ask: "What do I need to do differently to achieve this?" Or maybe, "What do I need to STOP doing, that is preventing me from..." Which of these FIVE critical lessons Ben shares, resonates with you the most? 🤔

Speaking isn’t just about what happens on stage—it’s about what happens off stage, too. At the heart of it all? Trust and relationships. Whether it’s with speaker bureaus, clients, or your audience, your ability to connect and build genuine partnerships is what truly sets you apart.
