Sander has run a number of pharmaceutical marketing firms, including bringing the firm of RSCG Becker to number two in the world and starting his own consultancy, Flaum Navigators. At one point in Sander\u2019s career, he failed to receive a promotion to run Lederley Labs (now part of Pfiser) because members of the board thought that Sander\u2019s stutter was a form of mental illness. Sander set out to be more successful than any of them. Join us to hear Sander\u2019s attitudes, techniques, and practices that enabled him to achieve incredible success.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/teamexcelability.com\/excelability-episode-sander-flaum-transcript\/\">Click here for a transcript of this episode.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Key lessons<\/h3>\n<p>Sander will show us that<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hard work and demonstrating that you are better than the competition,<\/li>\n<li>Engaging quality mentors,<\/li>\n<li>Discussing your disability as a way to take the pressure off, and<\/li>\n<li>When discussing your disability, talking about how it has taught you to work harder and smarter than the next guy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>have led to his tremendous success.<\/p>\n<h3>Connect<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/teamexcelability.com\/team-excelability-dedicated-to-success-and-excellence-for-people-who-happen-to-have-a-disability\/contact-us\/\">Send us your comments, feedback<\/a>, or tell us about your own story of success.
