Anything and everything sales related is my first love. I'm also a fan of time management, goal setting, and deep work - pretty much any topics around rewriting our neural pathways for better focus. Outside of professional passions, I love SoulCycle & Yoga. I am an avid reader of fiction & non-fiction and even host a monthly Business Book Club. I love to cook. During the pandemic, I cooked through all 23 French classics. I love to experience new cultures through travel. My goal is to travel to more countries than years I've lived (currently at 34 countries). I am a native Montanan & a practicing Druid so I also have an abiding love for nature.
It would depend on what type of emotional hook would be appropriate for the topic, but I am big of fan of sharing stories that highlight vulnerability and potential for growth.
I spent 15 years in corporate sales roles selling to a variety of ICPs & 2 years as employee # 1 at a bootstrapped start-up. For many years I viewed my experience selling different types of products with a variety of price points, sales cycles and customers as a negative. Only once I realized that the huge breadth of experience was a tremendous value did I decide to leave corporate and found my company.
