Level Up Your Leadership: Key Insights from Tom Alaimo’s Associate Weekly Kickoff
Introduction: This video, a weekly update from Tom Alaimo to his Associates, focuses on actionable insights for professional development and leveraging key company resources. The central takeaway is that Associates should prioritize attending the “Rising Executive” course and taking advantage of the DeDay product demos to accelerate their growth and skills within the organization.
Main Points & Arguments:
DeDay Product Demos – Immediate Value: Tom highlights the upcoming DeDay event on Thursday, February 22nd, as a crucial opportunity. This event offers 10-minute live demos from a curated list of Go-To-Market (GTM) technology companies (Otter.ai, Multiply, IQ Nadic, and others). The key benefit is bypassing the traditional sales process, allowing Associates to quickly assess the functionality and potential of these tools. This rapid evaluation can significantly reduce wasted time and focus on technologies most relevant to their roles.
The Rising Executive Course – Strategic Leadership Development: Recognizing the importance of leadership development, Tom emphasizes the “Rising Executive” course led by Sam Jacobs. This course is the flagship offering for Associates and is designed to equip individuals, particularly those in contributor and frontline leadership roles, with the skills and knowledge necessary to advance their careers.
- Key Details: The course runs every Tuesday from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM Eastern, beginning on March 12th.
- Enrollment Deadline: Associates must apply for the course by the middle of March – a critical deadline to secure a spot.
Support Channels – Accessible Resources: Tom briefly directs Associates to support channels for membership questions and general assistance. This includes the link within the Slack channel (jooin pavilion.jpg) for easy access to resources and support.
Actionable Items for Next Week:
- Register for DeDay: Immediately explore the list of participating GTM technology companies and identify 2-3 that align with your current projects or areas of interest. Schedule time during the event (February 22nd) to attend these 10-minute demos.
- Apply for the Rising Executive Course: Prioritize completing the application for the “Rising Executive” course. The enrollment deadline is rapidly approaching, so don’t delay!
- Explore Support Channels: Familiarize yourself with the support link in Slack to proactively address any membership-related questions or concerns.

By actively participating in events like DeDay and diligently pursuing the “Rising Executive” course, Associates can strategically enhance their skills, accelerate their career trajectory, and ultimately contribute more effectively to the company’s success.
