Happy Holidays to you and yours!

🎄✨ 2 days for Christmas ✨🎄

As the year comes to a close, we’re grateful for our customers, partners, and community who made this year so meaningful. Thank you for the trust, collaboration, and energy you bring—none of this would be possible without you.

We hope the holidays give you time to rest, reflect, and recharge with the people who matter most. Here’s to a new year full of growth, learning, and wins together.

Wishing you a joyful Christmas and a strong start to the New Year!

Sales is a lot like tasting a new dish.

You can experiment, try different ingredients, and practice endlessly but without a direction, you won’t know if it’s heading toward a great result or a flop.

That’s where sales enablement comes in. It gives reps a map, a framework, and a sense of what “good” tastes like so practice actually builds skill, not just motion.

Try. Taste. Adjust. Repeat.

But don’t do it blindly, enablement ensures you’re cooking up results that actually matter.

Here are Joe Fontana and Melina Giakas thoughts on if you can teach sales or not.

🎄 Think Holiday Parties Are Just for Fun? Think Again. 🎄

The holiday season isn’t just about cookies, music, or ugly sweaters. Those celebrations are also one of the most powerful tools for employee recognition and engagement.

Here’s what the data tells us:
75% of employees say they feel more appreciated when recognized at company events.

69% report that recognition events improve their sense of belonging and loyalty.

Companies that actively celebrate achievements see a 31% higher retention rate.

The takeaway? Recognition doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.

Even a small holiday gathering, shout-outs, or awards can make employees feel valued and motivated going into the new year.

💡 Quick tip: Pair holiday recognition with personalized messages or awards so that people remember how you made them feel, not just the party.

That’s it for this week.

We’re building the future of coaching together.
Thanks for being part of it.
