Lessons on Feedback from America’s Got Talent

Posted on August 5, 2018 by mmaloney

Sometimes you get inspiration from the strangest of places and this week, I was inspired by America’s Got Talent.  This show is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.  I am not a reality tv watcher.  However, this show I love watching.  People displaying their talents on a platform that will create opportunity for them to showcase their awesomeness… that I love!  If you have watched AGT over the years you know, they don’t tend to show a lot of the “bad” performances.  This is also one of the reasons I like the show, it highlights talent, not the poor performers.

Helping People (or You) Through Adversity!

Posted on March 12, 2018

Adversity is something that every single one of us will inevitably face in our lives. If you are in business, and sales (let’s be honest we are all in sales in some way!) you will likely face it regularly. How people respond to adversity can be the make or break it for some. Athletes who respond better to adversity are more likely to win the championship. Sales professionals who respond with a more positive strategy, are more likely to be in the top 10% of achievers.
