Valerie Wiest shares her experience of going through a marital breakup. One may not think immediately of leadership  before they hear her story but leadership is what Valerie is all about. She is raising her children, helping women with strength training and is on a mission to start a business.What is amazing to us is Valerie does not throw her Ex under the bus. She looks inwardly and admits that she wasn't her true self during the years leading up to the affair and eventual divorce. Her attitude allows her to accept some of the responsibility and she does not want to be viewed as a victim. Pretty amazing perspective if you ask us.Have you ever hearsd the line, everything happens for a reason? This too is discussed. Some things in life can't be explained. What would be the reason for pedophilia? There is none. A better expression is :there can be meaning found in every situation. Other gems in the conversation include: Comparison is the thief of joy.Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.Don't let hidden fears prevent you from achieving your goal.Trials in our lives can prepare us for future challenges.Valerie can be found on Linkedin here  https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriewiest/ Her book on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Affair-honest-journal-entries-ebook/dp/B08VFHQPK4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2SDKQSD16UYY2&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=surviving+an+affair+valerie&amp;qid=1615857204&amp;sprefix=surviving+an+affair+%2Caps%2C165&amp;sr=8-1 Be sure to connect with us in our Lead Sell Grow – The Human Experience Tribe Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadsellgrowDownload the FREE ebook that will help you connect with, and understand your buyers faster! Learn more about our services: www.TheGoalGuide.comImprove your sales and stay connected – Free Gifts Here https://shor.by/TheGoalGuide

How to turn the worst thing that's ever happened to you into the best thing - With Valerie Wiest

The Caterpillar Podcast gives you the dirt on Caterpillar, the people and of course the yellow iron. Caterpillar’s Virtual Product Development Manager Valerie Wiest joins the program to discuss the nuts, bolts and bytes of simulation in product development, how D&amp;I became personal to her and more.Program Guide:1:50 - As a child, Valerie took apart clocks and more, always trying to figure out how things worked.  More about her upbringing, including how her parents helped instill an insatiable love of learning. "Going as far as I did in my schooling was because of that love of learning - I felt I never knew enough."5:00 - Valerie's experience at Caterpillar includes materials fatigue work, a product design role, testing and more. Through it all, she found a common theme. "Every job I had, had a piece of simulation in it. It's always been there."9:00 - Though diversity and inclusion are usually presented together, they are two very different things. For Valerie, an experience with her son helped drive home her belief that inclusion is the more important of the two. "That really caused me to think: At, work how many people - in some aspect - may feel they're in a box? And are we making them feel that way?"13:24 - Valerie's philosophy on work-life balance, and its impact on her family. "Very early on my life, I set my own mental boundaries on where work and my life needed to separate." How technology enables work-life balance, but also makes more difficult to disconnect.16:02 - What disconnecting from work and rejuvenation is like for Valerie.17:00 - A story about a stark contrast between two leaders Valerie had consecutively - and what she learned from both. "We would have taken a bullet for this guy, because he did so much for us and we didn't want to disappoint him."19:01 - Simulation for dummies: "If you're watching a weather forecast, you're watching a simulation." How simulation at Caterpillar uses data, math and physics to create models that predict what's going to happen to a product or component in different conditions. "I can run through a design and all those possible combinations without ever cutting any iron, and make a decision..." 21:00 - Caterpillar's simulation strategy includes having the tools and capacity to enable simulation. "We're driving for the day when we look at simulation first. Everybody's mind is ‘simulation first.’"23:45 - What's the value of simulation? Speeding up the product development cycle.  "We see that groups that really engage with simulation can take months and months out of their product introduction cycle."
