Our guest this week is, Kelly Riggs, a leadership coach, founder of Biz Locker Room and author of Counter Mentor Leadership. 

Kelly is here to help us connect the dots between executing on our quarterly targets and the sales leadership that our companies provide for us AND that we provide for ourselves. Sales performance doesn't just materialize out of nowhere. We learn the definition of counter mentor leadership and the research that is uncovering the true qualities of sustainable and results driven leadership.
