Brad Lea – 4 Pillars of Training – SIV #071 Shownotes
"Training is something we do, not something we did." - Brad Lea
I first talked to Brad Lea 6 years ago when I reached out to him about a tweet he had posted. We spoke for nearly an hour and he explained his training technology platform, Light Speed VT, and how it was completely changing the way organizations deliver training results to their people. He was killing it then and his business has grown exponentially since.
I have continued to follow Brad via Twitter and recently Instagram. His posts are always incredibly positive and uplifting. The cool thing is that his posts are the real deal. I don’t know if you are aware of this, but what some supposed gurus post online, has nothing to do with their reality. It’s refreshing to see someone like Brad who actually lives out the values he espouses.
If you decided to listen to this podcast today because you needed an attitude adjustment, you are in the right place! But know this, Brad is going to purposely try to make us a little uncomfortable. He believes that we need to seek out and embrace discomfort as it is the only way we grow. I know you are probably sick of hearing me say this, but you might want to take some notes… Of course, you don’t have to. Taking notes is voluntary… but so is success. Remember, you don’t have to be all fancy about it and write your notes in a bound leather journal. Just grab a brown paper bag and some blue crayons and let’s go to work.

"I took the scenic route. It’s been a longer journey than I thought. But, EVERY SINGLE DAY I GET: A little better. A little smarter. A little closer to my goal. As long as I’m breathing, I’m on my way." - Brad Lea

Join me again next week when I bring on Eric Hemati. Eric and I only first met late last year but I swear we are twins separated at birth. We share many of the same beliefs and mindsets for both sales and in life. Eric is going to give you some rea, practical, and effective tools to help you build your practice. You are also going to love his positivity and energy.
Until then, I wish you great SUCCESS! I’ve heard it’s VOLUNTARY…
