If you ever see us at a trade show with a GIANT booth, you will know we made it. Until then, find us collabing with our partners and working every angle to maximize our presence. Any other tips for trade show cost savings / impact maximization? Ours is sharing a booth with likeminded supply chain partners. As a small farm, we have no sales team or brand ambassadors or marketing department. We literally could not afford to participate in major industry events without the help of our partners like Halara Cannabis. We appreciate the industry trade shows which allow small brands the chance to get creative in order to participate. Hard to compete when the big guys literally have a booth where you can get high and ride a ferris wheel! This article is proof that you don’t have to have the biggest booth or budget to take advantage of a trade show. All in, we met WAY many more future dispensary partners than we dreamed of and maybe even a potential investor. Thanks to all! Joyce Cenali Aaron Keefer Shauna Harden Samuel Magruder

Maybe we should all go to the dogs (for leadership lessons)? A great read below about the comradery of the sled dogs in the annual Iditarod race of 1,049 miles in early March in Alaska. But also some great insight into the "musher" and the relationship they have with their charges. The dogs are the stars and the true performers, but the musher's (leader) job is to align, facilitate and unlock the power of the dogs: "A team typically consists of the musher—the word derives from “marche,” the command a French musher would traditionally give—and up to 14 dogs, hooked together in pairs...It’s the musher’s job to seize that energy and channel it in the most effective way." "A successful musher must learn the strengths and weaknesses of each member of the team, strike a careful balance, and defuse often dramatic rivalries. Dogs show loyalty and camaraderie, but they also vie for dominance, and get angry, feisty, distracted, sullen, and jealous. The musher becomes the coach who not only takes the athletes to the peak of their individual potential, but ensures that they all cohere as a unit." "The musher’s job is deeply challenging. An oversight during race preparation or a moment’s lack of concentration can prove disastrous. Still, it’s the dogs who are far and away the most important participants in the race. They alone provide the forward motion as the sled powers more than a thousand miles through what can be brutal conditions. Even the mushers who are household names in Alaska admit that the real stars are the dogs." A good reminder that for a leader, like a musher, your job is not to do the tasks of each or your member (or whip them:-), nor program them as interchangeable robots; rather you need to prepare, facilitate and channel the skills and energy of each of your stars. https://lnkd.in/gJXZ8h9h #leadership #dogs #iditarod

💡 Don't Underestimate the Power of Employee Referrals! 💡 I’m excited to share this post; my friend Ellie Timberlake joined TrueCommerce as our first Channel Development Representative! Starting this January, Ellie has already made a remarkable impact on our team. Having known Ellie for years, I knew her extensive background as an educator and her character would be a fantastic fit for our team. It’s been incredible to see her enthusiasm and dedication in this new role. As daunting as it may have been, stepping into the corporate world, you’re absolutely smashing it Ellie! This experience has reinforced my belief in the power of employee referrals. We spend more time at work than at home, so why not surround ourselves with people we trust and enjoy being around? Bringing friends into our companies can lead to a more positive and cohesive workplace, as long as we strike the right balance. So, if you have friends or colleagues who share your work ethic and values, don’t hesitate to recommend them. Let’s create workplaces where we can all thrive together! #EmployeeReferral #TrueCommerce #TeamBuilding #PositiveWorkplace #NewBeginnings

Daniel did it from a dungeon, can you do it from your Desk? Today while I was in church, the minister preached about the life of Daniel. He spoke about how Daniel positioned himself to attract opportunities and gain the trust of kings. Daniel, who was a slave in a foreign land, rose from that level to retain a seat in the country's governing council. How did he get there? - He had a skill. - He possessed tremendous knowledge and experience. - He was endowed with gifts. But he didn't sit around languishing in his current state as a slave. He sharpened his skills by going for training and striving to come out on top. Upon winning and building himself, he decided to position himself by: - Providing solutions to the country's and king's problems, - Making contributions towards the development of his nation. He didn't just sit around with his skills and gifts. He subjected himself to growth and development until he became a beacon of light in his generation. How does this relate to you here? I know you are skilled and gifted in many things. You've also optimized your profile and connected with people. But positioning yourself here goes beyond all of that. You have to make yourself known as a: - Solution provider - Valuable personnel - Go-to person for advice and consultation in your industry and field You can do this by: - Creating meaningful, valuable, and engaging content - Dropping relatable, insightful, and meaningful comments on people's posts - Not just connecting, but connecting to provide value and attract value By doing this, you are positioning yourself like Daniel. You will also become a thought leader, problem solver, and go-to person for advice and consultation in your industry. If you're unsure how to create valuable and meaningful content that best expresses your expertise and experience as a veterinarian or medical professional, let's connect. Send me a message, and together we'll design a personalized strategy that highlights your unique skills and contributions. The journey to leadership starts with a single step.

Think twice about inviting a wolf into your flock or a Rhino into your cattle herd, it might be the fastest way to lose your audience. Trust is the hardest thing to gain and the easiest thing to lose. Don't cater to people who don't share your values. #trust #branding #clarity
