Way back (and as operational): The Top 11 most important “key persons” during my time in the Automotive Industry (until 2015): Aksel Pedersen, Tenneco Jens Traberg, Tenneco Bernie von Gries, Tenneco Theo Bonneu, Tenneco Jim Gray, Tenneco Sebastian Merz, Hella Jürgen Behrend, Hella Martin Herbst, Hella Franz-Werner Drees, Hella Alex Banke, FTZ Kai-Petteri Purhonen, Nordic Forum All in all: “What a successful, enjoyable and exciting journey it was (I never missed a budget). When we enter 2025 I’ve been active with my own “The Wide View” for 10 years. Thus; I’ll be slowing down on my activities. Meaning: Change my priorities. Still on, but also off”.

How should you show up at an association event or conference? I had the privilege of attending the LeadingAge California BOLD Age Annual Conference this week. Jeannee Parker Martin, Kevin Tuuaga, Soua Vang, and so many others orchestrated a remarkable environment that fostered learning, growth, and most importantly, a sense of community among industry professionals. As a sales professional, I've often pondered about the best way to approach these events. What are my priorities? What do I hope to gain? What can I contribute? These questions have led me to some valuable insights over the years. Let me offer three suggestions . . . 1) Focus on making friends. Over the course of the 10 years that I have attended this conference, I've made lifelong friends. Individuals who would share a meal with me, visit me in the hospital if I was sick, and join me in celebrating some of the significant accomplishments of my life. This is the real value of these conferences—the friendships you develop over the years. 2) Make a contribution. Mary Muñoz from Ziegler received the Award of Honor because of her contribution to the association and its members over her long and distinguished career. I was inspired by how she “led to” and worked with the members side by side to elevate the experience of older adults. Yes, she sold her service and earned some business along the way, but not because of her slick one-minute pitch, but because she used her gifts, skills, and abilities to make a contribution to the members of the association. 3) Offer encouragement. Instead of leading with what you do, commend others for their work, their contribution to the industry, and their impact on others' lives. Most people don’t hear those things often enough (thank you, Tiffany Karlin) Play the long game. Invest. Help. Encourage. Support. And then, I think you'll find that good business, the right business, comes as a result.

So excited to see our very first event of 2025 be a resounding success and to hear such positive feedback! The topic - Are Chinese Automotive Brands Redefining the Global Landscape? is, and will continue to be, one of the most important and interesting topic in the industry. A huge thank you to all the panelists, industry leaders, PR professionals, and stakeholders who helped make the event engaging and insightful.
