This week on Leadership LOWdown, Aaron Frazier, VP of Sales & Marketing at American Technology Specialists shares with Jodi Low one of those moments and the decisions that followed.

On a recent episode of What’s Your Story?, our Founder + CEO Jodi Low breaks down the leadership shift that actually moves the needle:

Most people lead from the head. The real work happens when you lead from the heart.

She explains that the longest journey of your life is only 18 inches — from your head to your heart.

When you start caring about the person answering the phone as much as you care about your biggest producer or your biggest customer, everything changes.

That's the difference between managing and leading.

And that's exactly how you build a phenomenal team.

Can you believe we’re five months into the year now? By this point, most teams can feel what’s working, and what isn’t.

Gallup reported that only 31% of U.S. employees were engaged at work in 2025, and nearly half say they don’t clearly know what’s expected of them. Miscommunication, unclear expectations, and lack of accountability continue to drive frustration, burnout, mistakes, and turnover inside teams every day.

That’s exactly what we help organizations fix through interactive training! DM us to schedule your complimentary discovery call.
