Why the best leaders won't touch your resume | For your career

Stop rotating who you go to for career advice. Build a board instead | For your Career

⁠⁠> Book a meeting with Dan [https://content.databased.com/revenue-consulting-and-sales-recruiting] Most people rotate who they talk to when they need career advice. They go to whoever they think will give them the answer they want that week. That's an echo chamber. Not a board. Dan walks through how to build a personal board of advisors: who to put on it, why it almost never changes, and what each of the three people on your board should represent. He shares the real people in each role for him and how each one changed the direction of his career at a critical moment. If you want to talk through your revenue team or hiring situation, book a meeting with Dan.

He's sharing what got him through 2021, one of the hardest years of his life, while still trying to run a company.

He also shares a story from 2008 that shaped how he thinks about having the right people around you long before a crisis ever arrives.

From manager to leader: how to actually develop your people | For your career

⁠> Book a meeting with Dan⁠ [https://content.databased.com/revenue-consulting-and-sales-recruiting] Dan is talking about one of the most expensive mistakes leaders make: spending big on training that never gets adopted. He has a four-step model that actually develops skills instead of just exposing people to them. Dan walks through why single events like sales kickoffs and consulting seminars fail (he's lost $500,000 to this lesson himself), the science behind real skill development from Peak by Anders Ericsson, and the four-step model that replaces the professor approach: teach, show, do, measure. He also covers what actually happened in the 15% of his organization that applied what they learned, and how to replicate that across your whole team. If you lead a team and want to stop watching enablement budget disappear without behavior change, this episode is the playbook. Book a meeting with Dan via the link in the show notes.
