I am delighted to announce that ConnectAndSell, Inc will again partner with CRO Connected, who has developed the most thoughtful and high-value senior revenue leader community I have been exposed to. They are hosting their legendary summit on the 9th of July in the UK. Why do we value them above all the myriad sales networks in 2024? They ensure they maintain exclusivity, screen and validate the network thoroughly, do not dilute their offerings by chasing expansion on mass membership, and bring together leaders from varying industries, segments, geographies and cultures. One minute, you could be speaking to a pre-funded start-up leader and, in the same conversation, gain insights from a 30-year veteran of complex logistics and multi-billion dollar deals. Lastly, Joshua Smith has created an environment where people can be honest and vulnerable in pursuing excellence. That then allows deep friendships and relationships to form, which, in my experience, have lasted the better part of half a decade since CRO Connected was established. Having been a revenue community tart for the better part of my mid-20s, I can genuinely say that their offering is vastly superior to many other professional networks I have engaged in. What keeps me coming back? I get stretched in every event, roundtable, webinar, and summit they convene, and it takes me beyond my comfort zone and sometimes launches me directly into my imposter zone. The net result is that I progress at an accelerated rate. I wish the same for my network, so the link to register for their 2024 summit is linked in the comments. #27seconds #leadership

The new year will require a new emphasis. As 2025 approaches, I’m reflecting on how much I enjoy spending time on stage connecting with audiences. Whether it’s stories of leadership, moderating a thought-provoking panel, or facilitating important conversations, being part of impactful events is something I’m deeply passionate about. (Interviewing ADM Bill McRaven at Texas McCombs School of Business was a highlight for sure!) With a background spanning 20 years of service in the U.S. Army, co-founding and scaling RideScout (acquired by Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG), and mentoring startups as an Executive-in-Residence at UT-Austin’s McCombs School of Business, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of innovation and leadership. My experiences—whether advising Fortune 500 companies, running for Congress, or co-authoring Catalyst—have shaped my passion for helping organizations navigate change and seize opportunities in transportation, energy, and national security. The growing world of defense innovation, semiconductors as well as the dual use space commercialization require a new breed of public speakers that have the technical understanding as well as the ability to break it down for audiences. Here’s what seems to resonate most with audiences so far: ✔ Trusted by leaders from corporate boards to trade associations ✔ Experienced in leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship ✔ Known for creating memorable and energizing event experiences As 2025 begins, I look forward to more opportunities to connect, encourage, and collaborate. Let’s explore how we can shape the future of your events. Thanks to Dimitris Bountolos, Jen Troke, Susan Valverde, David McFeely, Mellie Price, Christy Grady, Chelsea McCullough (Collier), Matthew Laudon, Trent Thurman, Luis Martins, Nina Shelat and so many others for bringing me onto their stage in the past. Let me know how I can help your next event. #KeynoteSpeaker #LeadershipDevelopment #Innovation #DualUseTechnologies

I had the privelege to attend the Nordic Business Forum 2024. This year's theme was Courageous Leadership - a timely and relevant topic as we are in the post-COVID era and people are still talking about it, geopolitical challenges, future uncertainty and the rapid pace of digitalization and disruption… Here are some insights what I kept for myself: ⁃ Brené Brown inspiring thoughts on vulnerability and self-management under the stress and uncertainty. ⁃ Kim Scott view on professional feedback at work, that we don’t need to be emotionless robots. “We need real human relationships at work.” And we need Challenge directly as not all can read between lines. Being direct- means being clear. ⁃ Bozoma Saint John gave us her views into Building a Brand - from companies to executives. There is always a brand, whether you build one or not. And that for us humans is called reputation. Staying true to the brand requires discipline. This can be difficult. But in bed times- only the brand can save the company. ⁃ The most powerful story for me was from Will Guidara, the previous co-owner of Eleven Madison Park which under his leadership was named #1 on the list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants: How to create Unreasonable Hospitality. “Name every single touchpoint in the customer journey, from the tiniest detail, and see how many you can improve”. Smallest enhancement in the guest experience can have the greatest impact on the experience as a whole.” And Focus more on being present, than on being efficient. If you’re not present, you miss the moments where you could make someone feel special. “Sometimes we need to slow down in order to speed up.” Such Forums are invaluable for leaders like us to meet, share challenges, reconnect (I met many colleagues I hadn’t seen in the Baltics for some time), and gain insights from top speakers and coaches. A big thank you to the organizers, Messakeskus, the student volunteers who provided exceptional hospitality, and everyone who made this event possible. Looking forward to the next Forum! #leadership #businessforum #development #growth #success #customerfocused #talentdevelopment #strategy #ai #sustainability Hans-Peter Siefen
