Sales is tough.
Constant targets, packed schedules, and the pressure to perform can quickly erode both focus and well-being.
That’s why this latest Mental Health in Sales: LinkedIn Live Drop-In took a fresh approach: a relaxed, open conversation where sales professionals could share experiences, ask real-time questions, and walk away with tools they can actually use.
In this session, Stella Round and George Anderson explored the realities of modern sales life—why presence matters, how small habits compound into stress or resilience, and what leaders can do to support their teams without adding to the pressure.
This wasn’t a scripted keynote—it was a human conversation about what really happens inside sales teams today.
Whether you’re hitting the phones, running a team, or just trying to reset after summer, this session offered practical ways to stay sharp, sustain performance, and protect your mental energy.
Key Areas of Discussions:
- Why “being in the room” is essential for focus and performance.
- How devices and digital habits impact resilience and stress.
- The link between routines, recovery, and sustaining peak sales performance.
- How connection, culture, and compassion drive results.
