#Start2023Now Party with Chris Cherian, Annie P. Ruggles & Keith Spiro

Happy DEBcember! For this year’s #Start2023Now Party, Christopher Cherian, co-founder of Gatherly; Annie P. Ruggles, founder and dean of the Non-Sleazy Sales Academy; and business strategist and community builder Keith Spiro joined me on #GoalChatLive!

Chris, Annie, and Keith shared their joys and challenges from 2022, their 2023 goals, and lots of inspiration throughout the conversation. They also talked about their annual themes.

  • Last year, Keith’s three words were “transform,” “fluid,” and “scribe.” For 2023, he is looking toward “delight” and “magical.”
  • Chris chooses an annual theme. Last year was “learn;” this year will be “discipline” or “flexibility.”
  • In 2022, Annie’s theme was “Let Bartlet Be Bartlet,” taken from The West Wing. We shine when we do what we do best. This year’s theme: SALESpiration!

Our Guests’ Goals for 2023

  • Annie: Personal: Get her SALESpirational novella, The Coach Who Would Not Sell, into the hands of 1,000 coaches and consultants; and be optimistic and resilient with the feedback. Pro: Fill the Non-Sleazy Sales Academy
