She is a class act, a dependable teammate who isn't afraid to roll up her sleeves and do the hard work necessary to solve difficult challenges. Her charisma and motivational capabilities stand out, serving her well as an exceptional leader. She has a unique talent for assembling high-performing sales teams, as well as fostering a strong sense of loyalty and commitment within her team members. Katy is an innovative and effective sales leader who is full of creative ideas to accelerate growth and I recommend her highly!”

Here's how you can gain public speaking experience through temporary and contract work.
To become more comfortable at public speaking here are a few tips that have helped me on my journey: * Practice. Practice. Practice. Yes, even record yourself. * If you find you are fidgety, put something in your hand- a clicker in front of a large audience does the trick.. or for a smaller audience just hold a pen (it does not look awkward.) * For a large audience, simply look to a few spots at the back of the room simply above their heads… they honestly think you are looking at them when you are not. * When you first come to stage, find a spot and stay there until your heart stops racing… you build confidence and are more comfortable to start moving. * SMILE to show your teeth! If the audience does not know you this will go far!

What are common mistakes sales managers make and how can you avoid them with training programs?
Especially as a first time people leader, it is often easy to fall into the trap of wanting to be loved by your team. In the end if you do not hold your people accountable, you will be held accountable. Respect drives followership, not being their buddy. Make no mistake, you can have deep relationships with your team members. Let them decide if they want that type of relationship. As you build trust, and lead with unwavering ethics and commitment they will seek it.
