Control less. Influence more. This way ??
The only constant in sales? Change. (Duh!)
One day, you’re rolling out a new strategy. The next, you’re managing resistance from your team.?
And somewhere in between, you’re battling your own grippy tendencies (yes, we’re talking to you, overthinkers and control freaks).
So, how do you push change without pushing your team over the edge? How do you manage up, down, and across – without micromanaging or losing your grip? ??
Kyle Norton (CRO, Owner.com) and Christine Rogers (CEO, M3 Learning) have been there, done that, and shared some serious wisdom on making change work for you, not against you.
Let’s break it down. ??
Change is inevitable – but chaos isn’t?
Sales leaders love speed – scaling fast, closing fast, moving fast.?
But Kyle Norton (CRO, Owner.com ) knows that the secret to successful change management isn’t speed. It’s control.
Control that keeps your team aligned, focused, and productive when everything around them is shifting.
Whether you're scaling a startup or rolling out new processes in an established org, the key isn’t to move fast – it’s to move right.
Because when change is intentional, it sticks.

Feeling grippy? It’s time to let go.
Leadership is tough enough – leading yourself might be the hardest part.
If you’ve ever caught yourself over-explaining, overanalyzing, or over-controlling… congratulations, you might be grippy.
And while it feels productive, it’s actually a fast track to burnout (for you and your team).
Christine Rogers (CEO, M3 Learning ) knows the struggle. Self-management isn’t just about staying organized – it’s about knowing when to step back, when to lean in, and how to earn trust at every level.?
Managing up is just as critical as managing down – because if you can’t influence leadership, you’ll never get the buy-in you need to make real impact.
Ready to lead yourself better, so you can lead others better? Christine lays it all out here:
Don’t just react to change – drive it.
Managing people, managing up, managing yourself – it’s a lot.?
But the leaders who do it best know that small shifts lead to big results.
So as you head into your next team meeting, ask yourself:
Let’s make sure it’s the first one!
