Balancing Doing and Being in Sales and Leadership with Chris Caldwell

The Rising Leader

Chris Caldwell talks about the balance between doing and being in sales and leadership. They discuss how knowing the right sales tactics isn’t enough if you’re not fully present and aligned with who you need to be. Chris shares his journey of realizing that his beliefs and mindset were holding him back, even when he knew exactly what to do. Together, he and Alex explore the importance of staying grounded, the power of presence in building authentic connections, and how stepping into discomfort can lead to greater success, both personally and professionally.
