Sometimes it’s not a performance problem, it’s a fit problem.

A client called me about a high-performing sales team member who consistently missed quota. From a skills standpoint, nothing seemed off. It made the situation difficult for my client to understand what was missing.

When we reviewed their TriMetrix results, here’s what we found:

→ Top Motivator is Social (helping people)

→ Lowest Motivator ( #6): Utilitarian (ROI and commission focused)

→ High Understanding Others in Acumen (deep empathy)

→ Low Customer Focus competency in the “closing” context

This sales rep was EXCELLENT at building relationships and understanding customer needs, but they struggled with the “close” because it felt transactional.

The role just wasn’t a FIT with how they were naturally wired.

This person was a better fit for an account management role, where they could nurture long-term relationships.

With the right insights from TriMetrix and the right placement using SPARK, leaders are actually equipped to make simple adjustments to lead to better outcomes for the whole team.

Aging well isn't about how long you live. It's about how well your body supports you while you're living.

In this Performance Health and Wellness tip, Dr. Nicole Williams reveals what actually changes with age: muscle, movement, mobility, and balance.

The plot twist? Most of what people experience as "getting older" is actually disuse, not age.

Five strategies you can start with today:

→ Strength training (20-30 min, 2-4x per week)
→ Daily movement (walking, stairs, standing)
→ Mobility work (stretches, rotations, hip openers)
→ Balance and coordination training
→ Be proactive, not reactive

The bottom line is a simple one: maintain function before you lose it and preserve strength before you feel weak.

Remote office life. 😂

Today I’m conducting leadership coaching sessions… while balancing on a giant fabric exercise ball.

Honestly? I kind of love it.

One thing I’ve learned over the years:
Energy affects everything.

The more we can build little moments of movement, comfort, focus, and FUN into our workday… the better we tend to think, communicate, and show up for people.

And apparently my dog fully approves of the new office setup too. 🐶

You can't control what happens in a day. But you can control how ready you are for it.

Ron Price shares a story about an unexpected loss in his community and what it taught him about starting each day prepared, not with a to-do list, but through a deeper practice deeper.

Whether through prayer, meditation, or a walk, it's about having a centered and relaxed focus on what's important. Staying present instead of being distracted.

I'm a little late sharing this, but I was honored earlier this year to be recognized as one of TTI Success Insights' 2025 Top 20 Distributors.

This recognition really belongs to my clients. The work we do together - helping organizations build Wake Up Eager workforces through TriMetrix assessments - is what makes this meaningful.

When I see teams transformed by understanding how people are wired, and when I watch leaders make better hiring decisions, and when I hear that someone FINALLY feels like they're in the right seat… that's what this is all about!

I've been working with TTI Success Insights for more than 20 years, and I'm grateful for their partnership, their research team, and the science-backed tools that make the work we do possible.

Here's to another year of helping people wake up eager! 😊

Your sales training isn’t working because you’re starting in the wrong place.

Generic training doesn’t work because teams don’t have generic gaps. When everyone is trained on everything, organizations end up:

→ Wasting resources teaching people what they already know

→ Missing the specific gaps that are actually costing you revenue

→ Creating fatigue with content that doesn’t apply to them

An assessment-driven development approach will help you create effective sales trainings.

Top performers don’t try to be good at everything. They identify the few areas that will have the greatest impact on their results, and they focus their development there.

If someone is closing 90% of deals successfully, but only prospecting effectively 15% of the time, their development time should not go to more closing training.

Development is most effective when it’s intentional, targeted, and aligned to the individual.

It’s hard to Wake Up Eager when your body isn’t feeling the best.

In this episode, Suzie sits down with Kelly Lynch Feldkamp, founder of Prevention Plus, to talk about something we don’t always connect to performance at work: physical wellness.

They explore what it means to treat every employee as a “Jobsite Athlete”—someone whose physical and mental stamina directly impacts their performance, longevity, and contribution on the job.

Here's what I know for sure after 21 years of helping people build Wake Up Eager workforces and lives:

Strengths → Satisfaction → Success

That's the WUE formula!

When you use your natural, UNIQUE strengths, work feels less like work. You feel more energized than drained. You create better results with less effort.

Then that satisfaction you feel fuels more motivation and that sustained motivation leads to both FEELING successful and BEING successful.
