Clip from Episode 37: Dayna Leaman, Senior Account Manager at Wiley – Building a Sales Career:
What motivates me is knowing that I had a hand in their success and whether it’s you know whether it’s you know this might sound goofy but a few years ago and it really hit me it was very emotional because I can be a very emotional person at the right minute. I was at a local community college in New Orleans. DELGADO It’s a great place with a lot of great teachers. And I have a big piece of business there in anatomy and physiology and it’s what students need to go on to determine whether or not they’re going to be nurses or in the allied health field. And I saw these students sitting on the floor of the hallway looking at my book pulling up Wiley Plus which is our technology platform and engaging so much in this content in a happy way not in a angry I can’t believe I have to do this way but using our resources because I know that they’re going to have great potential and that was really materialized. And I I’ll share this link with you. We did a video of a student. Her name is Jonte Ray and she’s absolutely amazing and she is getting ready to graduate from nursing school and we’ve really had a close connection. She used all my materials. She did a lot of videos for us in WileyPLUS that has been the pinnacle moment for me. I was involved in making that video. And I know that what we did has changed her life. She was a single mom. She’s going to nursing school she is going to be a great medical professional. And well you know we have that. That is my motivation is to help any anyone that I can along with my colleagues that they understand that what we do has such an incredible noble purpose.
