So we made it through the first month and I have to say that I'm getting a little sad to think this will end. I have enjoyed this experience so much.
The staff at The Landing has been so accommodating and helpful in every way possible. Catherine our personal trainer has pushed me to be my best and got my shoulders in line. Bravo!! The team of fellow "Questers" has been the biggest bonus. We have become a little family making sure we all get the best experience possible.
The new experience of the week was meeting with Paige Stapleton and Brian Stark of Stapleton Stark Coaching.
They are working with the group on goal setting for the future and how to stay on the right track for a health productive life. Being through several sales coaching and training classes at first I thought I already knew this stuff.
But I found that I was not breaking things down to the lowest common denominator to see where my behaviors are coming from. I think this will help me focus moving forward.
I also found that I'm very focused in my professional life, but less so in my day to day life. This was a surprising revelation due to being a little OCD. The thing I'm focused on know is setting the goal I want to achieve for the future. I believe in my next blog I will be writing about that goal.
In closing I went to see an icon in the sales training field this week: Zig Ziglar. I have seen this man speak on several occasions and he has inspired me over and over. I have read all his books and listen to many of his cds over the years. He is one of the people I look up to as a true sales person. Zig had a fall a few years ago and has become impaired due to it.
As I sat in the audience and listened to him speak, I was saddened by his inability to be that powerful presence he once was. I then quickly realize this man has touched millions of lives over the years and if I can just do a fraction of that I would feel quit fulfilled. "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want." -Zig Ziglar
