The LeaderShifter Show

Tune in to see why Gloria Mayfield Banks is often referred to as Energy in Motion! Gloria is a dynamic speaker, sales trainer, author, and host of the “Women Do It Better” podcast. Her personal story is inspiring, and her meteoric success in sales was even the subject of a Harvard Business School case study. We discuss the “It Factor” of the most successful people – it’s confidence, which is a combination of motivation AND education. Get ready to ask yourself, “Am I lazy, crazy, or stuck” in relation to what’s holding you, your team, or your business back.

Walk down memory lane with me on this week’s episode with former University of Miami football Recruiting Coordinator, David Scott. His team-oriented, enthusiastic approach has motivated a diverse community of players, coaches, staff, vendors, and volunteers at The U, as Race Director of the Miami Marathon, and now as Assistant Athletic Director at Florida International University. We discuss the winning culture of the ‘Canes football program from its glory days, when he led beside such coaching legends as Jimmy Johnson. Dave and JJ evaluated recruits based not only on talent but also on their smarts, grit, and position flexibility…and created a dynasty in the process.
