Embracing Change!
I help sales, engineering, and leadership teams embrace challenges, persist through setbacks, and elevate performance by shifting from a Fixed to a Growth Mindset.
Win Life’s Tug of War!
Life often feels like a tug of war. On one side, the Fixed Mindset pulls you back to the safety of your Comfort Zone, whispering, ‘Don’t try. Don’t change. Just stay where you are—it’s not worth the effort.’ On the other side, the Growth Mindset pulls you toward the Learning Zone, urging, ‘Try. Learn. Grow. Change. It’s worth every bit of the effort.’ The greatest challenge—and greatest gift—is that you decide which mindset wins.
Embrace Challenges!
With over three decades in medical sales and leadership—including guiding startups and serving in the Peace Corps—I’ve lived the challenges of embracing change and fostering a Growth Mindset. This isn’t just theory; this is the Growth Mindset message I wish I’d heard when I was facing my own challenges and learning to adapt:
- Launching a 20-year career in medical sales
- Striving to exceed quotas quarter after quarter
- Leaving the comfort of large corporations to embrace the uncertainty of start-ups
- Leading sales teams for two start-up medical companies over 13 years at the executive level
- Completing a marathon after years of hesitation
- Serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Peru for 27 months
Each of these moments taught me the truth behind Kobe Bryant’s words:
“You can’t be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what others might say.” Like Kobe said, fear of failure holds too many people back. The good news? Mindset is a choice. And that’s exactly what I help teams master.
