The People Behind Flourish
Srini Pillay, M.D.
I am delighted to present this series of 24 magazines to help you flourish. As a certified master executive coach who trained in psychiatry and brain imaging at Harvard Medical School, I am privy to the challenges that sales professionals face. My background as Director of the Outpatient Anxiety Disorders Program at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School helps me know real world problems faced by people, and the solutions that are typically most helpful. As a member of McKinsey and Co.s think tank, The Consortium for Leading Innovation, I am constantly thinking about new ways to engage, design, and present learning, and FLOURISH is exactly that. I work with organizations through the world to help leaders and their teams build resilience, agility, and innovative capabilities so that they can flourish. This has helped me tremendously as I sought out the research that would most support you. Thank you for your interest, for recognizing how key wellbeing is, and for honoring your sales teams with this offering.

I have witnessed and experienced the mental challenges associated with sales since I first started my sales journey at 17 years old. Since then, I have been a top salesperson in multiple organizations, been a venture backed sales VP, and a recognized thought leader on the future of sales speaking to sales teams all over the world. Throughout my experience, I’ve noticed that success or failure in sales is often related to mental wellness even more so than talent or skill. I’ve also learned that no one is immune to the psychological rollercoaster no matter how great they are at what they do. Sadly, there is no where to turn when we get down as salespeople or sales leaders. Flourish was created just as much for me as it was for you and your team. Having experienced the power of this magazine first hand, I can confidently share that Flourish has the ability to create a truly profound impact on you and your team. This experience is like none other in the world.
