Do you a vision for where your own mission will take you? Are you determined to reach your final destination? Are you willing to put in the work and do everything it takes to get there?
Today we get to spend time with the man who has been on a mission and leading the charge for the last 22 years at one of the top clubs in the great state of Texas and who is also this years National Merchandiser of the Year for Private Facilities. Ahead, we get to unpack the many layers of the Director of Golf at Whispering Pines Golf Club. Our guest today is the charismatic and multi talented Chris Rowe.
Ahead in our conversation with Chris, we will discuss:
The word vision, and how Chris feels a vision can help guide your steps each day, until the day comes when you receive the call that makes vision become reality.
Chris doesn't like the word merchandising. Listen as Chris replaces the word and shares his philosophy on what he feels merchandising really is.
Thinking outside the box to get his customers attention has been the name of the game for Chris and his staff. We will unpack the many unconventional sales and promotions Chris and his team have used over the years to continually engage their customers.
Merchandising is just one hat a golf professional can wear. Chris wears countless others. We will dive into what those hats are and how they all paint the complete picture of a golf professional.
There will inevitably come a point in your life and your career when you must take a risk and shoot your shot. Chris has been taking these risks from an early age. Listen as he shares how he has been able to get the attention of those around him by going on offense and not waiting to be discovered. It is the ability to take a chance that has landed Chris on the big stage, and I'm not just talking about Whispering Pines of the the upcoming Awards Show.
Finally, we will discuss the words imposter syndrome. The feeling that we aren't ready for an opportunity is a feeling many of us will encounter in our careers. Chris will share the advice he gave to one of his most valued employees when they felt this way.
For over three decades Chris Rowe has been a man on a mission. Today we get to learn all about his mission and how his breakthrough moments can help you discover your own.
