What to know what it’s like to be a power connector?
In today's episode #MeetCoolPeople, we're joined by Jeffrey Casanova, a 30-year sales professional with a passion for leadership through coaching. Through his diverse experience both in corporate settings and on the baseball field, Jeffrey unpacks the art of leadership, the nuances of sales across different demographics, and the critical importance of cybersecurity in today's business ecosystem.
Jeffrey kicked off his early days in sales, mastering the delicate art of customer interactions while selling men's designer suits in California. This experience not only honed his sales tactics but also solidified his love for connecting with people - something that has propelled his career forward.
He loves to draw parallels between coaching sports and leading a corporate team, emphasizing the indispensable values of accountability, flexibility, and organization. These skills aren't just for the ballpark or the boardroom; they are crucial life skills that young people carry into adulthood.
The thing that’s stood out the most for myself is Jeffrey’s ability and willingness to cbe a powerful connector. As i’ve got to know him personally in the Dallas Fort Worth area, he has been the single more key person to helping me get connected to the business community right in my back yard.
And THAT is why I knew you needed to meet him!

Here are a few things we covered during out chat…
- The art of adapting: Understand and incorporate different communication styles and cultural nuances in sales strategies.
- Leadership beyond the boardroom: How principles from coaching youth sports apply to corporate leadership and personal growth.
- Cybersecurity is everyone’s business: Key strategies for protecting your corporate environment in a digital world.
- Building lasting connections: The importance of nurturing relationships not just for business gains but for long-term personal and professional growth.
- The "karma" of networking: Building a network isn't just about what others can offer you but also about how you can contribute to their success.

#MeetCoolPeople
We have this amazing technology that keeps us closer than we've ever been yet we're less connected than ever and have become slaves to our technology.
The same technology that was meant to be a tool to help us make life easier and be closer.
The #MeetCoolPeople Movement is to change that.
It's a reminder to put the phone down and pay attention to the people you're with right now.
It's a reminder that social media is there to connect and add value to the people of the world. Use it to Promote what you love, not bash what you don't.
It's a reminder to use that technology to reach out to someone that you can help and be there for them. Find out what they need right now and use your vast network to help make their day better.
It’s a reminder to thank someone for helping you out.
It’s a reminder to introduce someone you meet to someone you know can help them.
And it's a reminder that we can grow to amazing successes but not alone. It requires the help of others.
So surround yourself with people that make you better and make it your mission to #MeetCoolPeople!
