Educate, Entice, Expand – Part 1

A while back, the stars must’ve been aligned just right because I had two incredible, but rare encounters with two service providers that provided stellar service by asking the right questions, actively listening to my concerns, and confidently answering my questions. This was obviously before Mercury was in the microwave or whatever it is they...

Rest & Recharging

“I’ve had an aha moment that my workplace is not meant to meet my personal needs.” This exact declaration was courtesy of one of my coaching clients. I think it was Mark Twain who once said “find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” And...

Tell Yourself A Story

I’m a big proponent of storytelling. I can hear it now, gasps of shock and awe. So when Susanna and I were chatting about how much of an impact the right mindset can have in overcoming adversity in the workplace, especially for us women, and she said ‘tell yourself a different story’ I knew I...

Get Consistent Being Consistent

200 episodes. 4 seasons. I’m still in disbelief. Statistics say that most podcasts don’t even get to celebrate their one-year anniversary much less have the stamina to pump out 200 incredible episodes.

Recently, I’ve been sales coaching a 20-something sales professional. There are so many reasons why I love working with him. For one, he’s the ideal client – a driven, high performer who knows his weakness – prospecting. He also knows that it’s a challenge to get the guidance he needs and wants from his leaders....

At one time or another, the salespeople I coach and train have struggled with building authentic rapport with their clients and prospects. They say the conversation feels forced, like they come across as...

‘Yes And’ Your Way to Closed Deals

It’s July. Q2 has come and gone and with it half the year. If you’re anything like me you’re all ‘where has the time gone?’ Why do we so often feel like 6 months from now is in the distant future while 6 months ago was just yesterday? In May I was amidst negotiations when...

Operationalize Your Day

You’re here because you’re procrastinating. You saw the headline and thought this is the perfect distraction to further prevent you from checking things off your to do list because like most people, you just don’t know where to start. And if you’re lucky there will be some wise and golden nugget hidden away in these...

Selling The Price Increase

I don’t have to tell you that the cost of everything is going up. I don’t have to but I’m going to do it anyway because as gas prices hit record highs and apples run about $6 a bag and homes continue to appraise for 2-3 times their worth you will eventually have to increase...
