Here is how I got my team to see me as a leader and no longer as their peer... 1. Developed my leadership philosophy, shared it and lived it. 2. Set expectations early. 3. Had short one on one calls weekly just to connect and ask how I can support them. Hi! I’m Stephanie.

I think there are many times where we assume that people will operate the way we would or make the same decisions as we would in a situation. When you become a people leader, you quickly realize that this is not the case. People are very different from one another – their values, talents/strengths, the way they reason or think, and the actions they take in a situation are all person specific. As leaders, we must accept people where they are and support them where they need/want to go (while practicing patience ourselves ??)… Want to build trust and culture quickly?

Your team will stop seeing you as a peer and start seeing you as their leader when you establish your leadership brand and live it. I 10/10 recommend that you establish your leadership brand as soon as possible to ensure that your team sees you as their leader and not their friend/peer to whom they report. Hi ????… I’m Stephanie.

When you realize starting your team meetings by having everyone share a gratitude from the week sets a positive tone for the meeting and now your team looks for things to be thankful for throughout the week to prepare.

I love this quote. It always reminds me to control the controllable. In leadership, there are circumstances you can’t control and people all around you that you absolutely can’t control. All of this can be frustrating at times. However, keeping this quote (or making it your mantra) in mind and operating from a “how can I” mentality will help you focus and stay productive, even when there are obstacles and setbacks. How do you stay focused on controlling the things you can and letting the other things go? Want to build trust and a strong culture quickly? Comment “WORKSHOP” for my free training!

Leadership Hack: With only 35 selling days left in the year, if your sales team isn't tracking to meet their goals, have each team member develop and implement new tactics (there are no bad ideas and everything ethical and HR compliant is on the table) to reach the end of year goal. And then, share on a team call! This has to be one of the best ways to get your team excited and involved in a fun way to end your year strong! And as a leadership coach who believes life is a team sport I need you to know that you don’t have to lead alone. I have a number of ways you can start getting the support you need today with your leadership journey: Comment “WORKSHOP” for my free training on how to build trust and culture quickly with your team!
