Tales From the Passenger Seat: A Sales Manager's Journey

By: Meghan Clarke
  • Summary

  • "Tales From the Passenger Seat: A Sales Manager's Journey" is a podcast by a sales manager for sales managers. Meghan Clarke interviews other sales managers, executives, coaches, and professionals to reveal best practices, tactics to overcome times of struggle, strategies for team success, and real-life lessons to help any sales manager or professional in their position, regardless of tenure or title. Why the title "Tales From the Passenger Seat"? Most outside sales managers would say the most memorable time they spend with their team members is riding in the passenger seat of their cars during field visits. It certainly has been for me. Whether it is the coaching, sharing of best practices, or overall experience of learning from one another, professionally or personally, no one can dispute that these times in the passenger seat, whether literally or metaphorically, are filled with tremendous meaning. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "It's not about the destination; it's about the journey." The same can be said for a manager; it is not about the title, the money, or the power. It is about the people: the people and the opportunity to be part of their journies. After these podcasts, you will feel inspired and more knowledgeable by these fellow sales managers, executives, and leaders whom Meghan admires. Also, hopefully, you will share a few relatable laughs about the wild ride of working in the unpredictable but meaningful field of people management.

  • Empathy in Action: Leading with Understanding, with Shauna Griffiths
    Sep 2 2024

    Thanks for tuning into another episode of Tales From the Passenger Seat: A Sales Manager's Journey. In this episode, I'm chatting with Shauna Griffiths, an accomplished and values-driven business leader with enormous success in various positions, such as Director of Marketing, Chief Growth Officer, Chief Client Officer, Advisor, and now Founder of SLG Impact. Shauna authentically creates experiences that engage and evolve people and companies in pursuit of their optimal performance.

    In this episode, Shauna and I discuss a topic from one of Shauna's poignant LinkedIn writings, "Hurt People, Hurt People." This post blew me away, especially regarding its relevance in society and the workplace. Shauna discusses how we all have triggers that don't leave us from 9 to 5 when we go to work.

    We all carry hurt around with us, so as people managers and leaders, we are responsible for handling situations that occur at work with respect and dignity. Shauna stresses the importance of leaders protecting their teams, asking poignant questions to seek to understand others and the power of knowing that most people's reactions have nothing to do with us.

    Shauna also introduces the Creative Leadership League, a four-month coaching program and retreat that aims to empower women leaders through creative problem-solving and community support.

    This episode is for you if you want to add more interpersonal tools and tips to your leadership toolbox.
