Hey everybody, Charlie Hauck here—Founder of Growth Dynamics, Lead Trainer, Creative Consultant, Executive Coach, Content Creator, Cheerleader… and one more thing I want to share that’s a bit personal: I’m a grandparent.

Hey everybody, Charlie Hauck here—Lead Trainer and Founder of Growth Dynamics—back for another Fast Tip Friday.
Symptoms:
Joe teed up a nice little order at one of his smaller accounts. It wasn't a make or break type of deal, but it created some additional opportunities to expand the product mix and make a lesser account more profitable.

The kid on the mound was so good he was picking apart the corners of the plate on almost every pitch. Although Gary was calling them the way he saw 'em, there were so many close calls that it didn't take long for the parents and the bleacher crowd to start riding him with the usual insults, heckles and personal attacks.
This one is something I have to remind myself of regularly, and that is to slow down and figure out why I am reacting the way I am to any situation.
