We're excited to bring you this new #GetAmplified episode with Dan Waters. Dan brings decades of partnership expertise to this fascinating conversation about building effective tech ecosystems. Working from sales roles at distributors to VP of Partnerships at Snowflake EMEA, Dan shares unique perspectives from both sides of the vendor-partner relationship. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eNi5RmiY The conversation explores how truly successful partnerships require bilateral investment and commitment. "Partnerships are a two-way street," Dan emphasises, explaining how Snowflake partners serve as extensions of the company, bringing specialised expertise and expanded reach to complex customer engagements. Using a compelling car analogy, Dan illustrates how every component must work in harmony, just as every department and partner plays an essential role in business success. The discussion culminates with Dan's three leadership principles:  - Being present and accountable - Developing trust through consistent execution - Practicing empathy by understanding partners' business challenges   Dan also shares a fascinating "Zander letter" concept from Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes' book on high performance, where teams envision success by writing from a future perspective of achievement. Whether you're managing partnerships, leading teams, or simply interested in effective collaboration, Dan's insights offer a practical roadmap for creating "shared wins" in today's interconnected business landscape. #sharedwins #partners #team #trust #accountability Buzzsprout #podcast

Why does being proud stop us for asking for help? Pride can sometimes act as a barrier in asking for help because it intertwines with our sense of identity and self-worth. When we're proud, we often associate seeking help with vulnerability, weakness, or an admission that we can't handle something on our own. For some of us, it might feel like asking for help undermines our capabilities or diminishes our achievements. There’s also the fear of judgement - wondering if others will perceive us as less competent. People with a strong sense of pride might strive to maintain an image of being in control or self-reliant, which makes reaching out for assistance feel like a personal risk. However, as Carol Dweck beautifully puts it in her book, The Growth Mindset, “Becoming is better than being.” Embracing help is not a sign of failure but an acknowledgment that growth is a journey. Recognising that everyone needs support at times enables us to step beyond our comfort zone, unlock our potential, and foster meaningful connections with others. Asking for help is often a courageous act of self-improvement, not a sign of weakness. Ironically, asking for help leads to growth, connection, and better outcomes. Recognising that everyone needs support at times is part of being human. What’s your take on it? Have you faced moments where pride has held you back from seeking support? #growthmindset #team #support

This conversation might just change how you think about team performance forever! What happens when a promising startup faces challenges that threaten its very existence? For Stephanie Windsor CEO of Cloud Benefits the answer lay in understanding the diverse strengths of her leadership team through DiSC profiling. In this revealing conversation, Stephanie shares how she personally funded DiSC profiling sessions with Amplified Group when company finances were tight, convinced this investment would transform team dynamics. The results were extraordinary: team members gained profound insights into their communication styles, working preferences, and natural strengths. Stephanie's conviction paid off dramatically as the team exceeded their targets following the sessions. Now, as Cloud Benefits enters a new growth phase, they're scheduling follow-up workshops to maintain this momentum. Listen here https://lnkd.in/efC2v3ni #leadership #teamdynamics #trust #DiSC
