"Look inside yourself today, and think about where pride and arrogance may be causing you injury." In the third installment of our series on Marcus Aurelius, Coach Blake discusses Aurelius's reminder to be "mindful of others' humility." Whether we're dealing with followers, superiors, clients, or even competition, we need to be aware of how we "collide" with others. This leads to a discussion of Coach Blake's own sales philosophy: Collision-Based Sales. As Coach Blake explains, forming and maintaining successful relationships within the laboratory space (and beyond) is all about blending energy. Sales is about expanding the worldview of your audience, but this has to be done in a way that preserves our awareness of the other person's pride, ego, and humility. The goal is to be your authentic self, free of excessive pride or arrogance. This will allow you to connect with others in a way that makes REAL change and progress possible.
