What makes you good at what you do?

A real passion and 30+ years of experience in working with business owners and managers, and then their sales teams. I get my greatest reward when they let me know how it has helped them improve their own lives.

"Why" do you do what you do (what is your "Why")

My Why in everything we do comes for the core of this: 

A participant in a seminar almost 20 years ago wrote in the comments section of an evaluation "Thank you for teaching me how to feed my family". I had never thought about what we are really doing when helping a business owner, manager, or sales person improve sales. Many before and after that have thanked me for the difference it has made in their careers, and how it has change the lives of their families.
