- 8. The most important piece of work experience that you’ve had that will help you to do this job well: It really is all about connecting people to either the right people, the right ideas, or the right resources. By becoming a servant leader, which is the best thing I learned from 2005 through 2010, I was able to listen to what people needed and then use my influence and my personal connections and knowingness to help hundreds of local business people get what they wanted. When people have the deep feeling of being heard, it is an easy next step to help them move in the direction that they desire through inspiring them to take the proper actions, to instill the needed habits, and then to get and stay motivated to achieve the goals that they desire.

- 13. Bob Burg Event Staff at Banquet Facility I have worked with Authors like Bob Burg, putting on events for him in Seattle. Bob had very specific needs for the flow of his events and by listening intently, we met and exceeded his expectations for back of room sales. Because I owned a catering business for 17 years, I understand the needs of the staff at facilities and I always make it a priority to help them feel important and appreciated. And, finally, Vendors at events help to add an interesting layer of experience. They pay dearly (usually) to be included and it is important to help them feel that their investment in the event was worthwhile. Vendor at an Event
- 14. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT RESONATES … PART THREE
- 15. … The magic of individual support and guidance that distinguishes information from education
- 16. What about our organization most resonates with you as a place you want to work? Truly helping people to achieve their goals I have, over the years, purchased many, many online strategies to make a living online. But, as Danny points out so well in his book, most of this has been information that does not help. I love that Danny aspires to a new paradigm of education and, from poking around on your website, I can see that this approach appeals highly to me. My greatest pleasure comes from people seeing themselves as capable of doing that which they are driven to do. My goal would be to help Danny to do exactly that by creating ease and flow in his every day experience. And to also bring my other talents to play in putting the bigger picture into play with events both large and small.
