Like to consult with informed others, explore ideas with valued colleagues and develop extensive personal knowledge. !Believe people should be recep.ve to new ideas and probe for informa.on. !I assess the value of any ac.vity or ac.on based on the insight and feelings of self-‐worth it creates and its posi.ve impact on other people.

You are a reflec.on of your company. What you say. Who you are.
How you treat others.
Context Do you understand?
People ask me…
When you started KISSmetrics how did you start your blog? !When you hired your first sales person where did you find them? !When you raised your first round of funding how did you do it?
I ask them…
When you started KISSmetrics how did you start your blog? Are you trying to figure out how you should do marke.ng for your business? When you hired your first sales person where did you find them? Are you star.ng a sales team and trying to hire the first person? When you raised your first round of funding how did you do it? Are you thinking about raising money for your company?
