EngageX Andrew Phillips and Sven Brook I had always felt that sales teams' focus was generally on the wrong thing – their success, not the clients. I fundamentally believe this approach inhibits a more predictable, long-lasting success for the Stakeholder – (Clients, Company and Shareholders). CEO-Led Sales is arguing a different way. It's certainly not positioning this approach as an easy way to implement this transformation over the short term. Rather, it's a long term change of thinking and culture designed fix to the current issues I see in enterprise selling and give the CEO confidence in their team and forecasted revenue. The Mind Body Project Aaron Degler After over a decade in the health and wellness industry, Aaron realized that our bodies change only short term unless our mindset changes for the long term. The two are forever linked and our bodies will follow to places where our mind takes it. We are continually building up new ideas and tearing down old ones in our construction zone we call our mind. Join Aaron each week as he shares ways to continually work on our infinite construction zone as well as sharing the construction zones of his guests. THE EXERCISE VOICE cecil ragalo In this podcast I talk about EXERCISE with its Implications to human HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE, In broader terms my main aim will be to explore and break down the many benefits of programmed movement (exercise) to the human body both long term and short term, and to try and educate you on How to use exercise to reach these benefits. I hope you can get some knowledge from this than can drive you to be healthier and/or perform better in your day to day life. We are all about improving quality of life.
