About the Alignable Contest
From the Alignable Spokesperson: “We're delighted to launch ‘Alignable’s National Main Street Mentors Search’ identifying, recognizing, and celebrating business leaders spearheading efforts to revive their local Main Streets and broader communities.
And showcasing these hometown heroes couldn’t come at a better time, since 33% of small business owners have already recovered, making as much as they did prior to COVID! And no one is more thrilled to hear that than we are.
In fact, that’s one reason we’re running this contest -- to show the amazing, against-all-odds resilience small business owners have shown -- and shared with others.
However, we also want to bring attention to the small business owners still driving hard to support the peers and communities that need them the most right now. According to our polls, 67% of small business owners are still struggling to recover.
For all of those reasons (and all of those businesses), we want to ensure that the stellar local leaders out there get the recognition and reinforcement they deserve.
Key Criteria
· Nominees can be from any industry -- B2C, B2B or both -- and must be Alignable members.
· They should lead by example, running rebounding businesses, while showing others how to do the same. If they're active across your community promoting recovery, that's even better.
· They also should be showing their financial support for local merchants by purchasing their products and services often.

Woodbury, Minnesota, September 8, 2019—Becky Amble of Future Focus has released a series of 8 videos called The Likability Minute. These videos are based on research Amble conducted with 35 CEOs or their advisors. The key finding in what CEOs are looking for in their top team is likability.
“I would not have predicted that the number one characteristic that CEOs are looking for in their top talent is likability. Yet when you think about it, it makes sense. One of the CEOs summed it up well. He said, ‘When I hire one of my top people, I ask myself would I like to spend the day working with this person?’ “Amble shared.
To give people some tools, Amble developed the Likability Minute series which consists of the following 8 videos:
1. Listen and get the person talking
2. Be sincere, friendly, genuine
3. Remember and use the person’s name
4. Use positive non-verbals
5. Be open-minded
6. Mirror and match
7. Talk about the other person interests
8. Make the person feel important
