Start to get your career journey #unstuck with this five minute writing exercise. If you’re having a hard time figuring out where you want to be tomorrow, start by understanding where you are today. Five minutes of writing can help you understand your strengths and interests. Try writing responses to these prompts daily for a month. • What's 1 thing I'm grateful for? • What's 1 thing I'm excited about? • What's 1 virtue I want to exhibit? • What's 1 thing I'm avoiding? • What's the 1 thing I need to do? At the end of the month, set aside an hour to review what you wrote. You’ll likely see trends and patterns in your answers. Each category will give you a piece of information you can use to figure out where or what you want to do next. The things you’re grateful for will reveal your priorities. The things you’re excited about will reveal your interests. The virtues you want to exhibit will reveal your values. The things you’re avoiding will reveal your dislikes. The things you need to do will reveal your goals and priorities. You'll find more benefit from writing this out than using a keyboard or dictating. The act of writing will reinforce it for you. #artistsway #goalsetting #businesscoach #personalcoach #selfassessment Focusing On Results

This X post from Zach Pogrob really resonated with me. Like Zach, the authors of "The Power of Full Engagement" tell us that “full engagement requires drawing on four separate, but related sources of energy: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.” Their research and real-world experience show that applying the lesson of energy management from top-tier athletes will make a difference in work performance. I know it did for me! For most of my life, I was not an athlete. I was an overweight “couch slouch” with a less than positive attitude about work. Even after I committed to greater fitness and began running, I still often felt like an imposter. Over time, the changes in my physical fitness transformed my work performance. I had more energy and became more #focused, #connected, #creative, and #productive as both a sales executive and athlete. See yourself as a corporate athlete and Focusing On Results!

Hey APMP friends, do you want to get your oral presentations #unstuck? Take Marsha Lindquist's advice in her column below. Understanding the difference between a government-facing oral proposal and a typical business presentation takes planning and practice. One thing the evaluators are looking for is how well the team works together. Pick a leader for the presentation, preferably the Program Manager and not the BD person. Make sure that the leader answers the question, and then hands off to the appropriate team member, "Thanks for the question, Marsha is the best person to address that." After the answer, make sure the leader summarizes and asks if the questions is answered completely. "Thanks Marsha, was your question answered or can we offer more information?" If there is another person that want to "add on", the leader makes the decision, and invites the other person to speak. "Before we go on, David, you worked on that part of the project, what would you like to add?" Practice a subtle signal that other team members can use to signal they want to talk, so the leader can make an informed decision on whether to allow it. Finally, the team should ALWAYS add nonverbal support to the person speaking. That means, pay attention, look at the speaker, smile, nod, and assume that the customer is looking at every team member every minute that you're in the presentation room, and in the building. #proposaltips #presentationtips #proposalpro #executivecoaching Focusing On Results

Get your mind #unstuck from stinkin' thinkin' by feeding it with positive examples. I love this story of Marla Runyan. It's been on my bulletin board for years and always makes me smile. #overcomingchallenges #inspiration #motivation #running Focusing On Results

Are you looking for some motivation? Reflect on where on where you've been. These photos are a really powerful reminder for me of where I've been and where I'm going. The top photo has been on my bulletin board at eye level since 2005. That’s when I ran in the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon half marathon. adidas posted motivational sayings on the streets throughout the course and I took this photo as a reminder of my journey. To me, the dirt, leaves, and wear captured in this image represents the 25,000 people that were all striving to perform at their best that day. It’s the residue of 50,000 shoes. Only one person won that day, and only a handful had a chance to win. The other 24,999 (including me) were there for their own results. I'm the guy in the images on the bottom. On the left, that's me at 45 running in Singapore. In the middle, I'm 55 running Louisville's Derby Festival Marathon. On the right is me again at the Kona Coffee Half-marathon last year. My journey from mid-life "couch slouch" to completing close to 200 endurance events has been filled with highs and lows. I often was an accomplishment machine; completing event after event without taking the time to reflect on what I'd learned. Do yourself a favor and take some time out from being an accomplishment machine to really appreciate what you've done. I'm doing it now and it is eye opening.

Here's an easy tool to help you with strengthening your network or getting your customer relationships #unstuck. Leverage the power of the Lagniappe! I learned about the power of the Lagniappe years ago from a New Orleans based client. In the "Big Easy" they know about the value of a little something extra, a Lagniappe! It could be a shot with your beer, could be 13 beignets or oysters, when you buy a dozen. It's just a little something extra to make the customer feel special! So what does that look like when networking? Maybe it's offering someone a connection in your existing network with no expectation of reciprocity. Or offering that person some type of "freebie" for their business. Same is true for your customers. What if you offered a customer some free advice? Sent them a relevant article? Invited them to a free seat in a class? Anything along those lines can help strengthen the relationship and make you memorable. In the brief excerpt below, I discuss the power of the Lagniappe with Zed Williamson on the Medical Sales Accelerator Podcast. Want more ideas on effective sales techniques?
