Social media continually promotes turmoil, chaos, disruption, and anxiety.

My parents, Fred and Joyce, are Dale Carnegie fans. In 1981, while I was still at the University of Sioux Falls, I received a leadership development gift from them - How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Evidently, they knew that as I finished university and launched into the next stage of life I would benefit from reading this book. :-)  Well, that’s an understatement! I could hardly put the book down. I underlined and made notes as I devoured each page. Since reading the book for the first time – about 30 years ago – I've also been a Dale Carnegie fan. Have you read it yet? Is it in your library? If yes, it may be time to dust it off and reread - it's filled with much-needed strategies for these disruptive times. If not, I invite you to consider reading it this season.

“I don’t have time for fluff! I need a new sales growth strategy for my business!” I’m talking to Graham, the owner of a software development company. I hear the panic in his voice. “It’s more difficult than ever to get new business. Prospects are hesitant to spend money. The economy seems unpredictable.” I ask a few more questions and listen to his concerns. Then, I talk about “trust” and “making a positive impact.” Over Zoom, I see him frown. That’s when he says, “I don’t have time for fluff!” As a sales leader, do you echo Graham’s sentiments?
