Same job underneath

In my early twenties I managed Hooters restaurants. Eventually I was leading go-to-market for SaaS companies. Same job underneath: read the room, set the tone, try not to be the reason people dread Mondays.

One Tuesday a rep closed the biggest deal in company history and the room felt dead. Numbers were right. Everything else was off. I realized the thing that was off was me.

“I’ve never seen such high EQ. He connects at a human level — reads a room, reads individuals. A student of the human psyche.”

CRO

“He cares about you as a human first — before a number, before your job. That makes him different from every other leader I’ve had.”

Direct report, front-line manager

“You felt the anxiety in my chest and moved it. I feel grounded — like I know exactly what to do.”
