Sometimes life and career change for the better and sometimes they change for the worse. Either way, you can make your own success if you have the right attitude and the right gameplan. Our guest today, Brett Ruffino, had both and he's here today to tell his story. 

Through his principles of customer experience and customer loyalty Brett helped turn around an underperforming, multi-store retail operation. but his passion for leadership training moved him to a higher calling.

As the founder of 10 PAPERCLIPS, he leveraged his executive leadership knowledge and skills to bridge the gap between what C-Suite leaders want, what the field needs to execute, and what the customer needs and expects; creating a synergy that yields a powerful ROI.
