Summary:
This is a re-release of episode 23 with one of my favorite guests, Erica Keswin. Since speaking to her Erica has published a book called Rituals Roadmap about how and why rituals at our workplaces can connect us and help us feel a sense of belonging.
If you've always wondered how you can foster a greater sense of connection at your workplace internally and externally - this episode is for you!
Some people may hear the term "Bring Your Human" to something and not clearly understand what it means and how can it applies to sales.
Erica Keswin had this aha moment of someone being human with her when her local Starbucks was out of her daughters favorite, pumpkin scones. Because their barista Ashley created a longstanding relationship with them, she knew that was their favorite and sprinted down the road to hand her a gingerbread loaf instead to try. On the house. That sparked an idea and a mission.
Erica Keswin sought to highlight stories like Ashley and published the book, Bring Your Human To Work, 10 Surefire Ways to Design a Workplace That Is Good for People, Great for Business, and Just Might Change the World.
It went on to be a Wall Street Journal Best Seller.
This episode we unpack what it means to honor relationships and how that will serve you so well in sales and in your life!
