Pretty awkward to see my own face among this list of influential tech people... 🙈 Yes, I'm honoured and humbled to be recognised as the Most Influential Voices in Tech 2023 by the D2 collective in the Revenue Leader category! But on the same side it also reminds me that we need more European Revenue Leaders that need to share their stories on LinkedIn. These stories is what really helps the community to get inspired, learn from success, best practices, but even so learn from the f*ckups we make (a lot) as leaders. Whereas I started posting more consistently on LinkedIn from January this year, I have been personally growing in so many ways as a leader... ✔️ Growth in # of followers. ✔️ Growth in creative writing. ✔️ Growth in diverse connections. ✔️ Growth in professional development. ✔️ Growth in improving my skills as a leader. So there is no reason to not be NOT vocal. Personal stories are what all thrives us here on the platform. Thanks Nastie Schoenmakers and Erica Isotta Surace for also the lovely words you DM'd me when I asked 'why the hell are you nominating me in the Revenue Leader category'?

Senior leaders: If you are invited to do a fireside chat, or a panel, how would you do? Last week, Rusty Gaillard and I learned that one of the VPs at Google was coming to the first hour of the training. What a great turn of events for the team. We pivoted our agenda and asked if she'd join us for a Fireside Chat. She agreed. Looking back, I guess we hoped she'd be the fuel for the day - and she delivered. The team got to listen in. We asked her to share 1) snippets from her early career journey, 2) what she sees in this roomful of rock stars, and 3) her hopes for the team as they all rocketship forward in 2024. She was inspiring, encouraging and real. ----- As a senior leader, whenever you can address your team in these more "chill" moments and share more of "you," - do it. It's a chance to gift them LIFT. I can still picture my former bosses, John Seng, Tonise Paul and Anne Dooley sharing sentiments like these at holiday parties and team gatherings. Their words stuck with me. THESE are the moments of legacy your team members will recall much later in life - long after the moment has passed. THAT is Executive Presence. ---- Your turn - who comes to mind who has inspired you in a panel, a talk, or team remarks? What do you remember? How has it impacted you? Drop the wisdom you experienced here. #leadership #innovation #panel #executivepresence #communicationskills #presence #team #publicspeaking

Three reasons tech leaders should post on LinkedIn. 🙌 It builds authority: When your senior leaders share insights and expertise, it positions your tech company as an industry authority, attracting potential clients and partners. 👀Enhanced visibility: Regular posts from leadership increase your company's visibility in the tech sector, keeping your brand top-of-mind for decision-makers. 👯Personal connection: Posts from senior leaders humanise your tech brand, creating a more relatable and trustworthy image compared to company page posts alone. What benefits have you seen when leaders start posting on LinkedIn? #B2BPR #PublicRelations

We often hear about the success stories of homegrown leaders who rose through the ranks. These are the individuals who climbed the corporate ladder, one rung at a time, to reach the top. But what do CEOs themselves say about this journey? Mark Zuckerberg, the iconic CEO of Facebook, once said, "Find that thing you are super passionate about." He's a prime example of homegrown leadership. Starting as a geeky Harvard dropout, he nurtured Facebook from a dorm room idea into a global phenomenon. However, is this the rule or the exception? As an executive coach, I've seen both sides of the coin. Some leaders thrive when grown in-house, bringing deep institutional knowledge and a powerful network of relationships. Yet, others stumble. The comfort of familiar surroundings can stifle innovation and fresh perspectives. A lack of external experience can lead to a narrow vision, limiting the potential for growth. So, what's the secret sauce to successful homegrown leadership? It's a mix of passion, as Zuckerberg said, coupled with an eagerness to learn, the humility to acknowledge gaps, and the tenacity to fill them. Are you a CEO with a story about homegrown leadership? We want to hear from you. Share your thoughts, experiences, and insights. Who knows, your story might be the inspiration for someone else's leadership journey. Remember, in the world of leadership, it's not just about reaching the top. It's about the climb, the journey, and most importantly, the growth. Share your story in the chat below. #homegrownleaders #leadership #leadershiptraining #gettingpromoted #CEO #businessconsulting #executivecoaching #burnout

6 powerhouse leaders. 5 weeks. 450 minutes in session. Countless side conversations, gatherings, real time questions and answers, text chats, efforts to meet in person off session when traveling… A bond this cohort will have for life. That equals lifelong learning together. The laughs, stories, shared experiences, sharing in experiences, cross industry connections, across the country connections, peer to peer leveling up… will always be a part of who you are and who you will become. It was a pleasure, and an honor, to have had each one of you with us. My most profound observation from the Captain Cohort? You can be hiring hundreds of people in the next year, leading leaders of leaders, growing an entrepreneurial business, cultivating global relationships in disruptive industries, managing cross cultural expectations and demands in globally known business, have established practices or the responsibility of building them… The conversations during sessions relating to authenticity, defenition of success, paths to get there… You can feel the pains of balancing raising families, companies, teams, and careers…. Yet you still invest in yourself, as well as invest in helping peers grow… through who you are, what you stand for, what you have done, and what you aim to do next. We won’t have dedicated Thursday mornings to connect anymore, but you now have a team outside of yourself that will undoubtedly support wherever and whatever you do next, one who will rally whenever you call… and you can call on anytime. Congratulations to our Captain Cohort for concluding and graduating from our Behavioral IQ MasterMind series. To say I am proud of every one of you would be patronizing. I am so damn impressed by all of you. Thank you for inspiring us, too. Onward and upward! I cannot wait to hear how your legacy unfolds. Eric Williamson // Oracle Cristian Rodriguez // CrowdStrike Veronica Mattioli // Vantage Sean Koutsakis // BMO Brian Arthur [Open Networker] // JPMorgan Chase & Co. Brittany Schott // Synergy Settlement Services Huge thank you to Dean Budney and Valerio Forte. Keri Laine Executive Solutions and Traiverse wouldn’t be able to impact as many, or be the same, without you.

What do Dropbox, Slack, Starbucks, Peloton, Yahoo!, and Google have in common? They all brought in external CEOs to drive their next phase of growth, even when they were already successful. These founders understood that external talent could bring fresh perspectives and expertise, and they weren't afraid to make the tough call. This isn't just a "new age phenomenon," but it’s about bold leadership and a commitment to prioritizing the company's future over everything else. It's a reminder that the best leaders know when to step aside for the greater good. Thoughts? #leadership #boldleadership
