Performance Coach For Your Brain | Helping You Take Action, Gain Clarity, and Optimize Mental, Emotional, and Physical Performance through 1:1 Coaching

If you don’t feel like you are performing at your best and are looking to take you life to the next level, the solution isn’t as complicated as you may think. Let’s see how…

Make small changes over time that build a life of intention and purpose.


This seems difficult because most of us are stuck in the modern digital era where everything must happen quickly and right away. That we must hustle constantly…

Society has taught you the wrong things though…
Society makes you believe we only have time for work.
Society makes you believe success is a full bank account.
Society makes you believe we have no time for what matters.

This is what society will have you believe LIFE is really about. This is WRONG!



You need to shift your thoughts to what Life is TRULY about.

Life is about connecting with Nature.
Life is about spending time with family.
Life is about building strong relationships.
Life is about physical and mental well-being.

This is where you NEED to focus your time and attention.

Changing your perspective / mindset, learning to reshape your thoughts / actions, and creating consistent small habits that will build momentum is how you LEVEL UP!



My name is Bryan Sagray, and I’m a High Performance Personal Coach for people ready to transform their life to live EVERY single day with intention AND purpose!

Being a spouse, leader, entrepreneur, foot & ankle surgeon, friend, and endurance athlete with a degree in nutrition, I have experienced first hand the struggle of life.

I’ve been through burnout, hardship, & failure over my long career. Learning who I am is what transformed my life mission to be one focused on intention & purpose.

Uncover the simple daily habits my clients use to create intention, develop a real purpose, improve consistency, reclaim time for what matters most, and build better relationships with family, friends, & colleagues! SMALL changes for larger impact!


During this 1:1 call, I’ll personally help you:
Recognize your current situation
Identify your ideal life forward
Develop a personalized plan
Layout how we can work 1:1 to create small habit changes to live a life of intention and purpose.

Normally, I don't request a share

But today I'm shamelessly asking you to

Having rec'd 100+ DMs about layoffs and how to get through them

and having been through 5 layoffs myself

THIS is what you should do right now

(before you hit pause or dive into self care)

...if your job is being threatened with a layoff

And yes, EVEN if...your job is 'safe'

because that's what thousands of people also thought at Medtronic, J&J, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, and Amazon (erm... hello, botworkers)

That's what I thought, too
(at 3 different companies, and 1 company TWICE)

Layoff Gameplan

...but what if you don't *want* people leadership?

4 unsung heroes of "what's next" (that aren't people-management roles) can look like:

>> Strategic/Key Accounts
>> Sales Training + Mentorship
>> Creating Community Outreach Programs

and

>> Asking internally what additional responsibility you can take on 

...etc.

(ie. side/internal roles to support the company with specific strategic initiatives).

The bottom line is this:

>> you do not have to want "people management" to be successful <<

(and that's okay!)
.
.
.

There are many options but when we get focused on the next step as 'people management' and it's really not our cup of tea

-- it can be a slippery slope and may not satisfy our financial goals, either.

There are many more brass rings than 'management' when considering what's next which makes it *invaluable* to bounce these ideas off recruiters and career coaches.

What does "next" look like for you?

Happy Tuesday!

Claire

In 2014, I got stuck in a stretch limo with our new CEO, in Texas.

It was the first time

that I'd ever chatted with someone at C-Level
(other than my mother)

😬

And initially -- I was terrified.

Here I was, a 20-something newbie at a startup sliding in the back of a stretch limo next to a big-time, Netherlands-hailing gentleman CEO who'd be calling the shots for our company.

What could I possibly say?

He felt so much BIGGER than me.

*loosens collar*

Then, I realized why we were both there.

We both missed the bus to the restaurant with the sales team.

We were both *LATE*

Suddenly, a corny "why we're late" Dad-joke flew out of my mouth before I could stop it -- or my awkward laughter that followed.

And my heart stopped.
Sweating in my WHBM pants suit.
In a limo with steer horns on the front.

(Seriously Texas -- your decor! 😆)

And after an eternity ... I felt utter relief when he laughed, too.

And to my delight, I realized the truth.

He wasn't BIGGER than I was...and he was incredibly NICE.
...and he didn't mind my natural corny joke tendencies one bit.

So we hopped in the limo shuttle and laughed and chatted about our blunder all the way to the restaurant.

This may have been the first time that I realized that in every

👉 Level
👉 Market
👉 Industry

People are people.

And you know what?

People still want to work with people they like.

__________
__________

When you're nervous, just be yourself.

The OR
The Interview
The Salary Negotiation
The National Sales Meeting

All of those high-stakes scenarios are still filled with people.

Don't worry so much about pleasing or saying the right thing.

Just be yourself and get the reps in.

Your authenticity will attract the people you're meant to.

(And if you're stuck -- have a corny joke ready to ease that tension)

Happy Monday, all!

You don’t have to manage people to be successful.
(I promise)

Here are some other ideas: 

1. Specialist Roles

Clinical Specialist: Focus on providing in-depth product knowledge and support during clinical procedures.

Technical Specialist: Specialize in the technical aspects of medical devices, providing expertise and support to both the sales team and customers.

2. Training and Education

Sales Trainer: Develop and deliver training programs for new hires and existing sales staff 

(helloooo system for success).

Clinical Educator: Provide training and education to healthcare professionals on the proper use and benefits of medical devices.

3. Market Development

Market Development Specialist: Focus on developing new markets and expanding the reach of existing products.

Product Evangelist: Advocate for and promote products through public speaking, conferences, and direct customer engagement.

4. Product Management

5. Regulatory and Compliance

6. Business Development

7. Research and Development

8. Consulting and Advisory Roles

9. Customer Success and Support

10. Entrepreneurial Ventures (side gigging!)

11. Sales Operations

12. Communications and Public Relations

I think you see where I'm going with this...

...
..
.

...the truth is, success is different for e v e r y o n e.

I hope this helps you feel liberated > limited.

Have a great day, everyone!

Recruiter PSA 📣 

it's not you

YOU have spent money, time, and talent to find top-quality candidates to present to that hiring manager.

But if their resume isn't selling them on paper
...not supporting that right-fit message...
it makes your job harder, longer

...often frustrating.

And in my experience of more than 2.5 decades in this business, people are doing their BEST to represent themselves, best foot forward.

>> but we often don't know how to tell our own story <<

And you are doing *your best* to get them where they need to go

>> often, without knowing what their best foot looks like <<

and that's what makes this a worthy endeavor

And the trouble is, you want to do that for them 
but with hundreds of people you're vetting
-- you may not have the time to do it.

(at our pharma head-hunting firm, we LIVED on the phone and often didn't have enough either...maybe 30 min. per candidate when we were lucky.)

-- getting to know them beyond their President's Club status, their gap, their passion to pivot into pharma sales --

so here is something you can use:

2 ways we helped our candidates help us SELL THEM were: 

Sending out an email to ask candidates:

1. Please jot down the top 3 sellable points from your history or resume that you think would impress or solve a hiring manager's challenges.

2. If those stories don't contain a measurable accomplishment, add "resulting in" or "despite" to the end of those statements to trigger you to add the impact and context to that experience.

>> and the next part is something I coach on now << 

(bc we had our recruiting firm before LinkedIn was, well... a 'thing')

3. Ask them to turn on public visibility of their LinkedIn profile and to read through it. Would they be interested to meet them?

>> If they want to update their profile with Linkedin best practices, refer them to one of your favorite resume or linkedin profile writers for guidance. Often, they can find free guides, advice, and low-cost courses (or done-for-them work).

OR

>> If they don't want to update their profile and it sounds like "servant leader with 15 years of proven experience," like everyone else, (and without a call to action), ask them to remove the About Section content altogether.

Better mysterious than boring.

When your clients don't give you language to sell them, it can be frustrating because we start to think that it's us.

it's not you.

Thank you for all you do.

And from one former-recruiter to another -- thank you for all you do. 

It's not easy but it's so incredibly valuable.

Network Like This To Win Your Next Role

"So Claire, my last question is WHY do you do what you do?"

(if you're job searching in your 50's and 60's, read on)

*ahem* so I say (+ cheekily, I might add)
"...because I'm terrible at sailing a boat."

he laughed
I laughed 
and then he shared that he was given *ridiculously shallow* outplacement services after being let go as the VP (on his way to CCO).

*and... then we weren't laughing anymore*

THIS IS IMPORTANT
You can and should negotiate for yourself on the way out 
And that includes your outplacement / executive support.

(even after a exit, layoff, or otherwise)

If you’re getting dumped into an outplacement program that feels somewhere between being a wallflower at a middle school dance you have far too much life experience to attend and screaming into the void after reading another “Here's Why You Should Be Posting on Linkedin Guide" ... then you know EXACTLY what I mean, don't you...

>> You Can CHOOSE Who you Use <<
(SHARE THIS bc most people don't know)

So anyway, we're talking more and he doesn't want just 'my word for it' (I totally get it) so I shared a recent call with him that I had with a client who chose us for outplacement, with her permission. 

Here's a clip toward the end of that call and also (Meet Deb).

>> >
Deb said:

“I’m treating this transition as seriously as I treated my last role. 
Like my livelihood and my joy depends on it. 

Frankly, because it does. 

And because I want my career to be honored - not AI-rewritten in hopes that someone ‘takes a chance on me’ because the keyword were right.

The outplacement I was 'assigned' said Linkedin posting was a priority.
Worrying about keywords incessantly should be my focus.

That's ridiculous.

Applying online hoping for a ping is just as you say [me! Claire!] -- is a low ROI activity. 

And having cut my teeth and won all the awards to win in sales, I know the importance of that.

And that’s exactly what I invested in with you. 
And I'm already getting opportunities because of it.

And I'm not surprised at all."

________________________

Thanks, Deb. You rock.

And we'll see if he goes with us for outplacement services. 
(I mean, I'm biased and I think he should.)

Do you think he should?
________________________

*(I wish everyone could hear this)*.

PSA:  If you've been offered outplacement support, know this: you don’t have to go with the default you’re offered. 

If it doesn’t feel like the right fit—it probably isn’t. There are firms like mine with support, 1-on-1 executive coaching, and networks built specifically for your market.

(other AI-free, human intelligence ones like Traction).

Tagging some in the first comment so you don't have to search so hard for those GOATS this weekend.

AND PLEASE:

You’re a fighter
Please remember that
It got you where you are
It’ll get you where you’re going

Now, fight for the support you deserve.

xo, Claire + the Traction Team
