Also known as “the BowTie Guy!” The bow tie is a metaphor for life. It's the knot in the bow tie that transforms an ordinary piece of material into a beautiful bow tie. It's the same in life. The "knots" we experience (Obstacles, Challenges, Setbacks, etc.) transform an ordinary life into an extraordinary one. Being raised in a small town in a financially challenged family taught me the value of hard work at an early age. My first “job” was that of a paperboy, delivering, collecting monies and growing my client base. I then graduated into hospitality as a plate scraper during the big holiday buffets at the only local hotel. And then on to get my college degree in hospitality management where I spent the next 10 years running restaurants, bars and night clubs. I loved the hospitality industry but needed to look for a career that was more conducive to raising a growing family. And that’s where my sales career started, where I’ve spent the last 25 years, primarily in leadership roles. People describe me as an always positive, high-energy leader that is gifted in developing high-performing organizations and scaling fast-growing startup businesses. I bring a unique blend of leadership, strategic insight, and passion to every role. I thrive in fast-paced environments and excel at overcoming challenges (remember the knots?) to deliver top-notch results. 🎯Key Skills:🚀 Leadership & Management: I excel at leading cross-functional teams, developing talent, and fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation🔍 Strategic Planning: Skilled in creating and executing strategies that align with organizational objectives and drive sustainable growth. 📢 Communication & Presentation: Exceptional public speaking and presentation skills, with experience delivering impactful messages to diverse audiences.🤝 Coaching & Mentoring: Passionate about helping individuals and teams unlock their potential and achieve their goals. I love coaching, training and mentoring which is driven by a genuine passion for helping others achieve their goals (many times thought unattainable). My expertise lies in two-way accountability and effective communication to inspire teams, optimize performance, and achieve organizational goals. I’ve always measured my level of success on the level of success of those I am responsible for. I am committed to delivering results, fostering innovation, and contributing to the success of others and organizations.Please feel free to shoot me an email at Will@WillHaugerud.com or give me a call on my cell at 720-289-4553.
