Just had an idea, “The new and timid Rep…”

How I’m to approach all cohorts going forward.  Even if the new hire is experienced and all glossy with accolades and President’s Club stripes.  I don’t care. New experiences, NEWNESS… that’s what my pedagogy entails.

Sales Training Lab, open.  Me picking methods, and ideas, sketches, one at a time or maybe by the handful….  That’s all this is I tell myself, a threading of ideas and postulations.

What I’m feeling right now, more than anything – STRENGTH.  Purpose.  Deciding NOW, in this sentence, that I’m not running at lunch but rather taking myself to lunch.  Create some content while there, and meditate.  Enjoy some time with ME. This writer, his own island and book.  Sales, and not.  It’s more.. career development and…

Laptop died.  Back in CA now.

Work tomorrow, going to be a busy week. Not sure how ready for it I am. Strength.  Have to keep repeating it to myself after the conference. Everything is this CST role… notes now for Wednesday, week’s first day. After this convention and seeing what others can do, have done, I should be further along. …

In office.  09:51. Quiet.  Meeting with VP at 11:00.  Running today without any excuses or delays, or no-show from me on pavement. Running today, no doubt.  5k to 5 miles, somewhere in there.  Going slow.  Distance is the goal so just telling myself, “FIVE MILES, you’re doing five miles.” 10:44, meeting in a bit, no…

Booked event for sales team, for next month.  Now back to scribbling ideas on Key Behaviors Project, and the ‘Assessment Hub’, as I call it. Peaceful day, listening to a LoFi playlist meant for studying, and focus. It called for rain, but now….  Wanting another latte, with the disappointment of no rain.  Might treat the…

“So alive and electric and fearless today, babe…” I just wrote the Nurse. And I am.  Can’t hold it in place, can’t bottle it.  Maybe it’s the coffee, maybe it’s simply being here, present, anchored in this shifting routine I’ve carved out inside ’50—what we call this building. 1:36 PM.  So quiet it feels staged,…

In office a little late but I’m catching up.  Meetings all day.

Singularizing, simplifying.  Thinking of my brother Chris’ stories and explanations of how he built his business.  The cowering space, the cafe, and other. I see what I’m doing wrong.  Or maybe not wrong, but what I could improve.  Again, simplifying. Lunch comes and goes, and I’m standing at the desk with two of my three…

!!!!!!!!

Repeat, repeat…. The day’s call.
