As managers of commercial groups in the areas of Life Sciences, Diagnostics, Genetics, and Oncology, you need your teams engaged more today than ever in the past.  We are in a time of mental health issues, loneliness, and fear, but you can do things to motivate and engage your team.  

Today's guest is Sam Parker.  He is the author of books like 212 The Extra Degree, Lead Simply, Smile & Move, and Cross The Line.  Sam's messages are short and simple, but the impact that they have or can have on you and your team are HUGE!  I was excited to talk to Sam to learn more about where his ideas come from and how he manages to put his simple but effective messages in his books.  His responses will surprise you, make you laugh, but more importantly, they will make you THINK.  

Sam will surprise many of you, but he has not found LinkedIn to be an effective marketing tool for his group yet, but he does admit that things change and that he will have to adapt in the future like all of us.  

I most appreciated Sam's honest and direct nature in answering my questions.  He is very genuine, and I think that's why his messages resonate with me and others as they do.
