Matt Sunshine has a bright, refreshing site design and ideas to match. His blog, Ideas, Leadership and Vision<\/a>  is a pleasure to read. Perhaps that’s because his purpose is to inspire, not sell you something. I found his blog to be an elegant balance of posts on business, technology and personal goal setting. <\/p>\n

I’ve been inspired by Rosa Say of Talking Story<\/a>, to review Matt’s blog and have found a wealth of information to use and share.<\/p>\n

Although Matt is new to the blogging scene, he quickly grasped the concept of citizen publishing<\/a> which I wrote about earlier and has developed a blog which will bring readers back again and again.<\/p>\n

A senior sales professional (Group Director of Sales Development) who makes time to coach 3rd grade girls soccer, he brings the same leadership and management skills to bear as a soccer coach that he brings to his work. The principles he applies to the young players are so simple and yet so profound, you should check them out here<\/a> and here<\/a>. They should be committed to memory by anyone who manages others.<\/p>\n

You can see another example of his management style in this post on staying focused<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What I find most interesting is that although his ideas mirror my own in some areas, they are presented quite differently. As a result, I found myself reading all of his earlier posts. This is a blog to visit and bookmark if you have any aspirations to lead and excel in sales or in life. <\/p>\n

By the way, when he’s not blogging or interviewing sales people, he competes in triathlons. A well rounded guy with a great blog. Read it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
