Скачать или смотреть It’s You I Like — Why Liking People Builds Trust, Influence, & Leadership

He didn’t sell million-dollar products.
He didn’t have a flashy title.
But everywhere he went, people were glad to see him.

This short reflection is about my father, Jack Sims, and what I learned by watching him work with people. He sold ordinary things—food, services, advertising, fences for Sears—but what he really sold was himself. Not a persona. Not a strategy. Himself.

The reason people trusted him was simple: he genuinely liked people.

In this video, I reflect on what that kind of presence teaches us about trust, leadership, influence, and human connection—whether in business, ministry, coaching, or everyday life. This is not a “how-to” on sales techniques. It’s a reminder that trust often grows from authenticity, curiosity, and regard for others.

If you lead people, serve people, sell to people, or simply want to relate better to others, this reflection may resonate.
