Confidence Classic: Take The Risk & DARE To Fail! With Andrew Metz Sales Leader & VP Of Sales At Zywave

And I think using people's names, keep them engaged. But it also shows you're paying attention. You're listening. And it feels good when a leader has acknowledged you, especially if it's something you weren't aware that they were aware of. So it kind of shows that like. you're keeping an eye on things. The other thing I would say is, I mean, I've never been a big overly scripted, no person.

I'm kind of big into that improv aspect, but definitely having some bullet points of what I'm talking about. But I'm big into trying to use humor in a comic relief setting. I think corporate America is too stuffy in general. I think people take themselves too seriously. I grew up in a blended family of six. I was the fourth. And I was always looking for attention.

So to me, the comic relief of this feels too serious is good. And I think people want to work in an environment where you can joke about yourself a little bit and not take yourself too seriously. I think that's refreshing. And I don't see it enough. And I think when leaders appear out of touch with or arrogant, I think it's a very unattractive quality.

They have chores, they have responsibilities. They got to hold the door for people. There's things that are deal breakers for me. But when it comes to sports activities, musical instruments, hobbies, I really want them to just find what they're passionate about. And I've tried really hard not to push.

You know, I've kind of gone through my own transformation last five years and, you know, out of shape and kind of stagnant my life to, you know, becoming a marathon runner and quitting alcohol and doing a bunch of things that they've seen me go through that journey.
