01
Sales Leaders trying to motivate their teams during challenging times. You worry that they're becoming apathetic and may have checked out.
02
Customer Success Leaders looking to drive better outcomes by creating more ownership and empowerment. You're tired of babysitting.
03
Founders who lack a sales background. Sales words like accountability and drive are awkward, like you're trying to speak a foreign language.
Every seller is unique and requires something different from their manager to perform at their best. As a leader, if you don't know what that "something" is, you worry. We will help you identify each seller's needs so that you can shed that nagging feeling and help them get there
Get out from under the fear. Understand the contributing factors in a trusting relationship, identify the gaps with each seller, and create a ready-to-go plan to bridge those gaps.
Using the EIQ-2 assessment, you will receive data on your skill in recognizing and managing your emotions and those of the people you lead. You will uncover the blind spots that may be limiting you as a manager.
Do your reps trust you? Using our framework, you will gain insight into your current performance on the factors that make you trustworthy as a leader. Create a plan to become the leader that people are loyal to and not want to let down.
Trust is mission-critical but isn't enough to sustain a top-notch team over time. You need to use words and deeds to recognize each seller in a super meaningful way. They'll feel lifted and cared for, which ripples out to clients and peers for better sales results and more fun!
Despite the best intentions, it is difficult to retain and implement everything you learn in a workshop. To help you get the most from this course, we are including a 1:1 coaching session in March to help you cement your learnings and overcome any hurdles.

I spent 20 years as a sales leader with Pearson, beginning in my mid-twenties. Early on, I learned to study my peers and take the best from the best (I learned a lot of things the hard way too). Over time, I built multiple top-performing teams, experienced zero negative turnover, and increased sales by $60M. In 2017, I founded Thrive to Lead, where I coach sales leaders to exceed their goals while leading with authenticity and joy. I want this for you and can help you get there! To learn more about me, check me out on linkedin or my website.
I’m a former top performing seller, frontline sales manager, and head of sales for both a startup and a Fortune 500 company. I’ve built and led teams taking new products and services to market, turned around poor performing teams, and led elite teams through disruption and transformation. I founded my strategic sales consultancy and coaching practice to serve leaders interested in accelerating revenue growth with a non-traditional approach. My method is based on leading with authenticity, integrity, EQ, mission, and having fun at work. You can learn more about me on linkedin and on my company site.

01
Learn the Trust + Love = High Performance Framework
Trust is a product of competency, integrity, authenticity, and connecting on a high purpose. A team with high marks on those ingredients might win some of the time. But they won't consistently win, unless they also care for each other. No love, no consistent high performance--reps jump ship, morale wanes, disfunction creeps in.
02
Evaluate and Map the Best Engagement Tools for each Rep
Evaluate your team, one rep at a time, on the parameters that diagnose how best to engage each one individually. Learn how the key leadership skills of accountability, strengthening rapport, proving tailored training, and connecting on a higher purpose, each become tools to improve performance and build trust.
03
Build Your High Performance Blueprint
We don't engage a monolithic team, we engage individuals. Build out specific next steps you will take with each individual team member. We guide you through a proven method of determining what to do with each unique player on your team.
04
Assess your EQ, Reflect, and Level-Up
In order to cultivate an environment of trust and love on your team, you'll need a high EQ. Interpret your assessment results and identify the greatest opportunities to grow as a leader.
05
Design Actions to Lift and Cultivate Love as a Leader
Engagement is tightly correlated with recognition. This may be the easiest way to motivate your team: recognize, acknowledge, appreciate. We build a plan to lift each team member. But words aren't enough. We also must show and cultivate love to unleash your team's true potential.
06
Execute Flawlessly
In your 1:1 coaching session, you'll be coached on how to effectively execute your plan, ask questions, and address any areas where you would like some additional help.
12:00 - 2:00 pm PST / 3:00 - 5:00 pm EST
We will kick off the course with the Trust+Love Performance framework, do a deep dive into building trust, guide you through a team evaluation, and align engagement strategies to each of your reps.
12:00 - 2:00 pm PST / 3:00 - 5:00 pm EST
In this lab, we will go hands-on in building your Engagement Plan with specific next steps with each rep to build trust and increase their productivity and improve their overall performance.
12:00 - 2:00 pm PST / 3:00 - 5:00 pm EST
In our final workshop, we walk you through how to use your Emotional Intelligence assessment and a Leadership assessment to identify a key growth area for you as a leader to cultivate an environment of trust and love.
