If there’s one thing I’ve learned to appreciate over more than two decades of self-employment, it’s connection.
You can’t have great sales, strong processes, or predictable profits without committed team members who can connect and lead one another as well as customers. That’s why I’ve built my business around helping others foster connection.
Connection is built on trust, and for most workplaces, building trust is the real challenge. Every team has its own history, its own unspoken reality. Most team members know what the problems are but don’t know how to talk about them or don’t feel like they can.
That’s why I created Trudy Menke – Reframing Leadership: to unravel that ambiguity so individuals can build trust, really connect, and move their mission forward with more confidence, passion, and momentum.
Trudy Menke – Reframing Leadership encourages you to go outside of the executive suite to empower people at all levels. With a focus on communication and a passion for people, I’ve partnered with the very best to bring the strongest approach to your business.
