I recently read the book ‘The Inner Game of Tennis’ by Tim Gallwey. It had been on my list for a while. It wasn’t just to improve my tennis game, it was to see what the principles were about. To understand what nuggets were in this book that’s been around for 30+ years yet still holds true. I wasn’t disappointed. Around the time of reading it, and posting some insights from it, Jeffrey Lipsius connected in. He’s been using the approaches from the book not just for improving his Tennis game but to become a better sales person. He’s been so successful with this that he’s wrote a book about it, and set up his own program to teach others how to be an Inner game Sales expert. He’s been working with Tim on this over the last few years and it continues to gain momentum. In this episode, we cover a lot. Here is a summary of the points discussed. Listen to the full show for more details.•Who is Jeffery Lipsius •Career journey – started this journey as a tennis player in college•How the Inner Game of Tennis became a fo

Enjoy!Key takeaways from the interview:•Knowing what you’re for and what you’re against •Building High Trust Relations and focusing on Trust is so useful right now – for teams that don’t have this it’s showing up so much!•Key Question – where does this passion come for wanting to help people? oHard wired in this way and being naturally a helper oHaving empathy intrinsic to her and embedded in her DNAoWhen you find this overlap between meant to, love to, and make a living atoHaving exposure to supporting and managing people from an early part of her career and developing a real interest in this – wanting to do the right thing for people •Self-Awareness is at the core of everything as a leader and a human!•We never get there….but we need to keep trying!•Others view of you matches how you perceive yourself •Self-
