Building Teams That Win: How Relationships Fuel Success with Keith Ferrazzi

Have you ever felt like leadership is a lonely road? Keith Ferrazzi is here to prove otherwise.

In this episode of The Jasmine Star Show, I’m sitting down with Keith—executive team coach, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and founder of Ferrazzi Greenlight—to uncover the secrets of high-performing teams, radical collaboration, and why leaders should never “eat alone.”

Oh, and did I mention that this conversation was so powerful that I restructured my team meetings at the start of 2024 because of Keith’s work? Yeah, it’s THAT good.

Here’s what we dive into:

✔️ Why relationships are the key to long-term success in business

✔️ The shift from leadership to “teamship” (and how it changes everything)

✔️ How to build a culture of candor, trust, and accountability in your team

✔️ The 3 biggest shifts you can make TODAY to improve collaboration

✔️ How to connect with the right people—even if they’re outside your current network

Keith’s wisdom has shaped how Fortune 500 teams operate, and today, he’s giving us an inside look at how small business owners and entrepreneurs can apply these strategies, too.
