to learn and a willingness to work hard,” she enrolled in a digital marketing course, got a certification, and eventually found her way to Hubspot. She started in an entry-level sales position, and, after putting in 12-hour days and many more hours on continued education, she became their No. 1 salesperson. She’s held the spot ever since. But what got her there? She found success by using the same philosophy that Hubspot was built on. “People don’t want to be interrupted by marketers or harassed by salespeople,” Shah and Halligan say of their empathetic approach. “They want to be helped.” Murnaghan’s interactions with customers hinged on her desire to help others, and she was determined to carry out that mission. Once, she connected a client’s daughter with friends in Canada after learning the girl was starting university there. What lessons can we glean from Murnaghan’s and Hubspot’s success? Perhaps it’s this: Don’t forget about the simple act of helping people. Make this a priority above selling a good or service. As you shape and define your company’s values, hire people who exemplify them. Like Murnaghan, if they live your values, they’ll wow your clients, help grow your brand, and bring you both to the top.
Sharen Murnaghan’s LinkedIn page features the line, “Always be helping.” When you look at Hubspot’s “About Us” page, you’ll notice their vision is to build a company where business is “empathetic, human, and personable.” Do these philosophies sound like they’re in alignment? She and Hubspot both believe that helping others is essential to business success, so it should come as no surprise that Murnaghan is Hubspot’s No. 1 salesperson. When two MIT graduates, Dharmesh Shah and Brian Halligan, realized that customers weren’t responding to tried-and-true marketing tactics — and that Shah’s unassuming blog was driving way more web traffic than sites with huge marketing budgets — they created Hubspot, a marketing and sales software company. Most companies were forgetting about the human element of sales. Instead of helping people, these businesses treated customers like numbers, all in the pursuit of their bottom line. So, Shah and Halligan started a company that would do the opposite. They decided to help other businesses forge human relationships with their customers and create an “inbound world.” Before joining their company, Murnaghan had a successful sales career in the publishing world, but she was ready for something new. She had an impressive amount of sales experience but almost no knowledge of digital marketing, an industry she knew was clearly on the rise. So, “armed with nothing but a desire Few events are cause for greater celebration than the birth of a child. Families are enthusiastic to welcome a new child into the world, but they can also feel nervous or afraid about an uncertain future. During this vulnerable time, expecting parents rely on their health care provider to help deliver their child safely. Tragically, there are occasions when this trust is betrayed. Although modern medicine has greatly reduced the chance of complications during labor, birth injuries can still occur due to medical malpractice. A birth injury can be a physical or cognitive impairment resulting from a complication during gestation or birth. Many birth injuries are apparent right away, though others might go undetected until the child is unable to meet developmental milestones like rolling over, crawling, walking, or talking.
Did Medical Malpractice Harm a Newborn? DISASTER IN THE DELIVERY ROOM

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn
Shoulder dystocia
There are circumstances in which these kinds of birth injuries are simply unavoidable. However, if a doctor prescribed medicine that is unsafe for use during pregnancy; failed to recognize or treat a complication during pregnancy; failed to react to complications during labor; incorrectly used forceps, vacuum extractors, or other medical tools during delivery; or made a mistake during a C-section, then their negligence may have caused the child’s injury. Some birth injuries heal over time, but others demand a lifetime of medical care. These medical needs often include multiple surgeries, assistive devices, physical therapy, accessibility modifications to the family home, and prescription medications. The costs of these needs add up and can overwhelm a family trying to provide the best life for their child. Compensation can help relieve the burden of these costs. If you have any questions regarding the safety and health of your child, don’t hesitate to contact the experienced legal team at Case Barnett Law. When malpractice leads to a newborn being injured during labor, parents have the right to take legal action to acquire compensation on behalf of their child.
