Episode 032 - Ann Littmann (the Accidental Executive)
My guest today is the accidental executive. She worked her way up to the CEO of Safeway Driving, played an active role representing her former company in the International Franchise Association, and she is now a partner at TrizCom PR in Dallas.

\nSome of her dynamite mindset and my favorite notes from today:
\n"Leaders are really good listeners"
\n"Everyone has the capability to be a leader"
\n"Everyone has value to bring to an organization, no matter their experience level"
\n"How do you lead an individual? Talk to them, empower them to help an organization"
\n"Be willing to stand alone in a room"
\n"Ask questions and lead by example"
\n"You need to create more than what you allow to consume you"
\n"Keep a Goal Journal, Gratitude Journal, Prayer Journal, Random Thoughts"
\n"It's about who you work with and making sure you are working in an environment that is bringing out the best in you"
\n"Why (what your brand is and what your messaging is) it's not about what product and service you provide, it's about what your greater cause is"
\n"Operate on why you do not what you do"
\n"People don\u2019t buy things, they buy from other people"
\n"We don\u2019t call them clients, we are partners"
