The Idea People are Moving & Shaking

The Idea People's Jay Joyce was among the honorees last night at Business Leader Magazine's Annual "Movers & Shakers of Charlotte" Awards.

"Jay has worked tirelessly over the past 3 years building new business relationships and serving on various boards throughout Charlotte," said The Idea People's Bill McCown. "He really has transferred our success from Atlanta here to Charlotte."

Darin Brockelbank, owner of Metro GreenScape and a client of The Idea People, nominated Jay for the award primarily for Jay's unselfish sharing of time and resources to help people solve problems in and grow their businesses.

This is the 7th year that Business Leader Magazine has honored Movers & Shakers in Charlotte.

Listening to New Ideas Leads to Opportunity

Do you know people who don't listen? They always say, "yeah, but..." Back in 1986 I learned from a very savvy sales trainer that you "can learn more by listening than talking." I've never forgotten it.

Even if the other person is blowing hot air and ranting and raving, you still can learn something. If nothing else, keeping your mouth shut gives you time to formulate a gameplan!

Try listening more than you speak. It will open up a new world of ideas and you'll learn more!
