Kristen and Mike dive into Dale Carnegie's classic "How to Win Friends and Influence People" - a book that's approaching its 90th anniversary yet remains powerfully relevant. Mike reveals he's read (or rather, listened to) the book nearly 10 times, often before starting new jobs to ground himself in core leadership principles. The couple explores why this 1936 bestseller has sold over 30 million copies and continues to influence modern leadership thinking. Unlike most leadership books, Carnegie's approach focuses on genuine human connection rather than strategy or tactics. As you listen, you'll discover timeless principles that can transform not just your leadership approach, but all your relationships through small yet powerful changes in how you interact with others.Highlights:Carnegie's core message: Leadership is about making people want to do things, not forcing themPrinciple 1: Don't criticize, condemn, or complain - criticism puts people on defensivePrinciple 2: Give honest and sincere appreciation - not flatteryPrinciple 3: Arouse in the other person an eager want - talk about what they wantThe book emphasizes remembering names as "the sweetest sound" to any personGood listening is highlighted as more important than talking for effective communication"The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it" - a principle both hosts struggle withMike shares examples of seeing these principles successfully applied in hospitality leadershipCarnegie's focus on understanding others' perspectives aligns with the improv principles Kristen teachesLinks & Resources Mentioned:How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale CarnegieHow to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin It's Your Ship by Michael Abrashoff The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier How to Say It for Women by Phyllis Mindell Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara Podcast Website: www.loveandleadershippod.comInstagram: @loveleaderpodFollow us on LinkedIn!Kristen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenbsharkey/ Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-s-364970111/Learn more about Kristen's leadership coaching and facilitation services: http://www.emboldify.com

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan

Luck is the nexus of hard work and persistence.  Salespeople need some luck, even if they have to create it themselves.  That old blues refrain “If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all” can't apply. We have to make our own luck and here are seven luck creation principles we can start using immediately to help us get there.  No fancy varsity degrees or puffed up IQ scores needed.  Common sense that morphs to common practice is all we need to change our luck in sales. Arouse in the other person an eager want Salespeople are consumed by what they want and it is usually getting enough commission to be able to eat.  Buyers don't purchase for any other reason than getting what they want.  Our job is to communicate in such a way the client realises they have a want they didn't recognize or give sufficient import to previously.  Opportunity cost is a measure which shows that taking no action is not a zero cost option.  Clients are not in a static market, their competitors are still alive and hungry for market share.  Talk in terms of the other person's interests We have to show that taking action today is needed and that argument has to be based around a good understanding of what the client needs as opposed to wants.  If we honestly have the buyers interests foremost in our minds we can build the trust needed to secure the business. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it Salespeople arguing with buyers is the silliest thing in the world.  Nevertheless, there are legions of salespeople out there trying to slam square pegs into round holes and make a deal fit which should never even be a consideration.  Trying to overpower the buyer to drive them through force of will to buy is ridiculous, has always been ridiculous and will remain ridiculous. Some salespeople don't learn however. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking Talkative salespeople lose a lot of potential business.  Being good in sales means being a tremendously good listener.  Understanding what the client needs is critical to providing a match that works between what you are selling and the gap in the clients business which they need to fix.  When I realise I have violated the 20/80 ratio of salesperson to buyer occupying the airwaves I shut up and ask a question to get them talking.  We all need to be alert to our proclivity to love the sound of our own voice. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view What are the buyer's fears, headaches and aspirations?  If we don't know these answers then we are not doing our job as salespeople.  Force feeding our pitch down the buyer's throat is stupid, but so many salespeople do just that.  They launch straight into their widget pitch without finding out what the buyer needs.  Something so basic, but so commonly missed in sales. Ask questions instead of making statements If I say it, as a salesperson, it might be true, but if the buyers says it, then it is 100% true without any doubt.  Our communication skills are called upon to make sure we ditch every opportunity to tell the client something and rather replace that statement with the same information, but now reconstituted as a question.  For example, “we have overnight delivery” is statement.  Rather than trotting this out, we say instead, “would having overnight delivery be of value to your business”.  If they say yes, then we can talk about how we do that.  If they say “no”, then we keep fishing for what is of value to them by asking questions Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest We want action.  We want the order right now, without delay. We don't want buyers to think about it or worse, agree in principle and then do nothing about it.  We need them motivated to buy.  What will success mean for them in their business?  What can we do to help them become even more successful?  If we can wrap our sale up in those flags of self-interest, then they will buy and will they buy right now. Keep these principles in your mind when talking to clients.  They are not complex to remember, but are complex to execute.  Well, that is sales and that is the requirement.  Get on to them fright now, delay no more and make sales today.

The Cutting Edge Japan Business Show By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan

Staff can be a nightmare. Teams are composed of the most difficult material ever created - people. That requires many capabilities, but two in particular from leaders: communication and people skills. Ironically, leaders are often seriously deficient in one or both. One type of personality who gets to become the leader are the hard driving, take no prisoners, climb over the rival's bodies to grasp the brass ring crowd. Other types are the functional stars: category experts; best salesperson, long serving staff members; older “grey hairs” or the last man standing at the end of the recession. Usually, communication skills and people skills were not prominent in their rise to this position of trust. How do we handle such a contradiction? What does it take to be successful as a team leader? Here are nine different adhesives to help glue the team together. Don't criticize, condemn or complain When we criticize people for mistakes or poor performance, they stop listening to us and use all of their brainpower to marshal their defense or assemble their excuses, about why it isn't their fault. We have created a barrier with them and they are in denial. The scolding, harsh direct approach may make us feel better but it leads nowhere useful, so don't bother. Give honest and sincere appreciation Snowing staff with false praise or fake appreciation doesn't work. People have well-tuned gauges for flattery. When they detect it, they do two things simultaneously: they ignore it and they don't ever fully trust the perpetrator. They are saying to themselves, “Do you really think I am that dumb?”. Instead, we need to become “good finders”. Look for what people are doing well and recognise it. When we give appreciation, be very specific about what they did well, this makes it real and believable,. Look for strengths to develop, rather than trying to pull people down because they are not perfect. Arouse in the other person an eager want As leaders we want a lot of things to happen. Our targets, accountabilities and directives from above drive us. It can very quickly become all about “me” and what “I” want. Others are not that excited about what we want compared to what they want for themselves. If we can coalesce what we want with what others want we will do a lot better in terms of getting cooperation and achieving our desired outcomes. This is a communication skill we absolutely need to master. Become genuinely interested in other people We are all firmly attached to ourselves. We are the center of our universe and we want all things that are good to flow to us. As the leader though, you have to flip that self-absorption and get focused on your people. You can work 100 plus hours a week, but your team of 10, only working a 40 hour week can out work you with four times the input of hours. So working 100 hours yourself is dumb and getting your team fired up and working at peak performance is smart. Why would they do that? Because they feel there is something attractive in it for them. They feel that way because the leader has been an excellent communicator to explain the connection between hitting their own goals and hitting the firm's goals. They are committed because they trust the leader. When Dale Carnegie did it's global study on the emotional drivers of engagement, they found that “feeling valued” by the immediate supervisor was the trigger to having people become highly engaged. You have to know what your team values, in order to help them understand they are highly valued. Your personal values are only interesting to you. Their values, for them, are the key. Once you are really genuinely interested in your team, you will naturally understand what they value. Then you can arrange for good things to happen for them, based on what they want, not what you want. Smile We think we smile, but we do it more rarely than we imagine. We are swimming through a flood tide of emails, meetings and reporting every week. We are under pressure to produce the goods. Our internal rivals are nipping at our heals, our external competitors are making life hell. It becomes hard to smile in the face of difficulties. What our team sees is a serious face, maybe an explosive face, when the pressure gets too much. Our mood every day is the barometer of how the team feels. If we are stressed out, we transfer that stress to everyone and we take their mood straight down. We have to be up, regardless of the pressure, the irritations, the stress. Remember to smile and pass this on to your team, to keep their mood positive. Remember names Presumably you can remember your team's names. However, in a big organisation that may not be that easy.   In Japan, in larger operations, it is interesting that often colleagues can't remember their workmate's personal name, only their family name. You need to send an email and you ask, “what is so and so's personal name?”. The answer is often, “I don't know”. Do you know the names of those staff in the teams of your direct reports? In a small team, do you know the name of their spouse, partner, kids, pooch, pussy, etc.? Being able to recall the family member's names is a big plus, because it shows a level of attention and interest and people appreciate that. When you meet someone at a networking event and they greet you by name and you have no clue who they are, that is always a moment for reflection on your ability to recall names. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves We want to be heard, to have our input appreciated, absorbed, valued. We want recognition for our ideas and contribution. A big part of making us feel this way, is the way the other person interacts with us. If they are really leaning in and listening carefully to what we are saying we feel valued. If they are doing fake listening, we can sense it. If they are just listening so they can butt in and make their point, we feel that is insulting. So, the leader needs to stop whatever they are doing, look the person in the eye and really open the ears up and listen. Don't second guess what they are going to say, don't finish their sentences for them, don't jump in over the top and interject your thoughts. Get them talking. We know what we know, but when we let the other person speak we know what we know and we will come to learn what they know as well. People love to talk about themselves, their accomplishments, their hobbies, their troubles, their family. Let them. They will feel valued because most people couldn't be bothered listening, because they want to do all the talking themselves, about themselves! Talk in terms of the other person's interests We feel close and comfortable with people who are like us. So, when speaking with the team, get into furious agreement by creating context around their interests, so they are aligned with the organisation's interests. Look for the win-win in everything, articulate it and keep reinforcing it. Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely This sounds easy, except that we are often tied up in what makes us feel important. Fake praise is spotted quickly and both we and the fake praise are instantly disregarded. Always be looking to find ways to tie the team member's contribution into the big picture. The rat on the treadmill can feel that what they are doing is rather low value, unappreciated and perhaps even pointless. This is where the leader comes in. They need to connect the dots and explain that this person's role is important, that they are appreciated and that what they do matters.  Are doing these nine things easy?  Absolutely not. Does it take effort to make these our regular modus operandi and create new habits?  Yes. Would adopting these make a big difference to the way we lead. Yes.  The best time to incorporate these nine ideas into our leadership skills set was yesterday and the second best time is now.

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan

In 1936 an unknown author, despite many frustrating years of writing drafts and receiving publisher rejections, finally managed to get his manuscript taken up by a major publishing house. That book became a classic in the pantheon of self-help books – “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. Surprisingly, many people in sales have never read this work. Plato, Socrates, Marcus Aurelius etc., were all around substantially prior to 1936 and we still plumb their insights. Dale Carnegie has definitely joined that circle of established thinkers, offering wisdom and valuable ideas. His aim was to help all of us be better with each other, particularly in a business context. He did this by laying down some principles, which will make us more successful in dealing with others, especially those people not like us.       Salespeople should definitely be friendly. Ancient Chinese wisdom noted, “ a man who cannot smile should not open a shop”.   What this is saying is there are some pretty basic things we must do to be successful with people. We know all of this, but we forget or even worse, we know but we don't apply our knowledge. Here are nine principles for helping us all to become friendlier with our clients.                      Become genuinely interested in other people Our buyers are actually more interested in what we know about what they want, than in what we know about our product or service. It is a common mistake though to be wrapped up in the features of our offering and lose focus on the person buying it and what they want. At the extreme, transactional thinking means you don't care about the individual, you only care about their money from the sale. That is the hyper short career in sales option.               For a long career, we better get busy really understanding our clients. The key word in this principle is ”genuine”. Having a correct kokorogamae or true intention, means we will be honestly focused on understanding the client so that we can really serve them and build a partnership. We must be fully focused on their success, because wrapped up inside that outcome is our own success. Talk in terms of the other person's interests Salespeople have a self-defeating habit of selective listening and selective conversation around what they want to talk about. Their kokorogamae is centered around their interests and the buyer's interests are secondary. Sales talk is a misnomer - there is no sales talk. There are well designed questions and there are carefully crafted explanations around solution delivery, which are tightly tied back to what the buyer is interested in. Questions uncover interests and with laser beam focus, that is the only thing we talk about. Sounds simple, but salespeople love to talk, they love the sound of their own voice and they become deaf to the client, often without even realising it. Check yourself during your next client conversation – imagine we were to create a transcript of your words, would they be 100% addressed to the buyer's interests. If not, then stop blathering and start talking in terms of their interests. By the way, Japanese buyers are rarely uncomfortable with silence, so don't feel pressured to fill the conversation gaps with pap! Be a good listener. Encourage the other person to talk about themselves Good listening means listening for what is not being said, as well as what we are hearing. It means not pretending to be listening, while we secretly think of our soon to be unveiled brilliant response, witticism or repartee. It means not suddenly getting sidetracked by a single piece of key information, but taking in the whole of what is being conveyed. It means listening with your eyes – reading the body language and checking it against the words being offered. Talkative salespeople miss so much key client information and then scratch their heads as to why they can't be more successful in selling. The client doesn't have the handy dandy sales handbook, where the questioning sequences are nicely aligned and arranged for maximum efficiency. Instead the client conversation wanders all over the place, lurching from one topic to another, without any compunction. I am just like that as a buyer. I have so many interests and will happily digress on the digressions of the digressions! Well designed questions from the salesperson keeps the whole thing on track and allows the client to speak about themselves at length. In those offerings from the buyer we learn so much about their values, interests, absolute must haves, their desirables, their primary interests and their dominant buying motives. Japanese buyers usually need a level of trust to be developed, before they may open up and talk about themselves. It is exceedingly rare to wrap up an agreement in Japan with just one meeting. So salespeople, play the long game here and don't be in a rush. We are limbering up for a marathon, not a sprint in Japan. Arouse in the other person an eager want This is not huckster, carnival barker manipulation. This is becoming a great communicator, someone who can arouse passion and enthusiasm in others. Sales is the transfer of enthusiasm, based on the salesperson's belief in the “righteousness” of doing good, through supplying offerings that really help the buyer and their business. One of the biggest barriers to success in sales is client inertia. They keep doing what they have always done, in the same way and get the same results. Our job is to shake that equation up and help them to get a better result, through doing something new – buying our product or service. We have to help them overcome their fears and persuade them to take action. In Japan there is a penalty for action if something fails and less of a penalty associated with inaction, so the bias here is to do nothing. Having a need and taking immediate action are not connected in the client's mind, until we connect them. We have to fully explain the opportunity cost of no decision, no action or no response to our proposal. We achieve all of this by using well thought out questions, which lead the buyer to draw the same conclusion that we have come to – that our offering is what they need and that they need it right now. This Socratic method of asking questions works because it helps to clarify the buyer's own thinking. Most salespeople don't ask any enough questions, because they are too busy talking about the features of their widget. We can arouse an eager want if we frame the questions well.  Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers Telling is not selling. Ramming our proposal down the client's throat is not selling. Being bombastic and dogged is not selling. Naturally, we will always have more information, data and knowledge about our solution than the client. Blabbing on about the fine detail won't persuade the client to buy. Often Japanese buyers expect a sales “lecture” on the proposal, so they can slip into the role of the critic. Avoid that scenario at all costs. All you will get out of that type of meeting is the thin cheap green tea being served and little more. Instead, go and find some buyers who will accept your questions. We all own the world we help to create. Our job is to help the client create a world we can share, that they feel deeply connected to and about which they feel some ownership. If I tell you some worthy insight I still own it. If I ask questions that spur your thinking and help you to garner some of those “lightbulb” moments, then you own that insight. We are always more likely to execute on our own ideas than other people's. Sales is about assisting client's to see possibilities they haven't considered. We have probably all had the experience of shopping for something and the store clerk's explanation alerted us to something we hadn't even considered, which immediately framed our subsequent approach to that purchase. This is the job of the salesperson – to help the client re-frame their worldview with rich and valuable insights that lead them to make the best buying decision – with us! Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view We have reached the age we are today, built on a firm foundation of mistakes, errors of judgment and ineptitude. None of us were born perfect, we had to fail in order to learn what not to do, as well as what to do. We were not brilliant from the start with new tasks. We had to spend time to master the new and unfamiliar. In the beginning, we were inept until we gained some solid skills. In other words, we are all hauling around prejudices, biases, painful memories and firm views on the world, built on our foundation of hard won experiences. Salespeople trying to inject their views into this construct, will feel like they are trying penetrate a block of marble. “Education” in the original Greek and Latin meant “to draw out”, not “inject in” information and ideas. We should embrace the classics and like Michelangelo, draw the hidden David out of the marble. In order to be successful in doing this our communication skills are required to have empathy, to really get deep with the client's worldview and experiences. We need to understand their concept's creation platforms which reveal who they are today. Let's get to know them at a more substantial level so that we really get where they are coming from and more importantly, we need to understand their WHY. Most Japanese buyers are not as open to being frank about what they want. To get there, we need to build trust through multiple meetings, big dabs of patience and a correct kokorogamae or true intention.  This requires we stop concentrating on ourselves and what we want and focus on the buyer instead. We need to suspend our own surety of our concept's creation platform and see things fresh, in an open, unbiased way. When we can get that clarity, the words coming out of our mouths will be perfectly aligned with what resonates most deeply with the client's needs and they will buy our offerings. Get the other person saying, “yes, yes” immediately “Yes momentum” is an old idea in sales. It works on the psychological principle that a series of positive responses will lead to an acceptance of our offer. A simplistic understanding of this idea would see our hearty sales hero designing a long set of killer questions, the only logical answer to which must be expressed in the affirmative. For example, asking a question such as, “if you were able to reduce costs, would this be of help to your business?”. Everyone wants to save costs in business, so the only answer is yes. The problem with this type of approach is it becomes manipulative, as the salesperson belts a whole series of these “can only be answered by yes” questions. It reminds me on those nodding animals in the back of cars, that bob up and down with the ride. Expecting to fast track your way into a sale through this client head bobbing subterfuge is a misunderstanding of the principle. The latter is saying let's get “yes, yes” responses immediately, but not exclusively. In the Japanese language Hai means “yes”, but this is the “yes” of I hear you, not the “yes” of I agree with you. We need to understand this and ask the question in a way that differentiates between the two responses. We do want to design questions that help the buyer clarify their thinking about our proposition. We should start with one or two “yes” questions that narrow the focus down to a positive investigation of the value of our solution, when judged against all the alternatives. It should not become a “Yesfest” though. After getting some positive responses we should begin asking the WHY behind the response. This helps us to dig deeper into the drivers of an affirmative decision. Clients, as mentioned, will wander all over the prairie once they get going, so we have to shepherd them back on topic. A good way to do that is to ask a closed question to which they can easily answer yes. Now we can keep the conversation moving in the right direction, without the whole process being manipulative. “Yes momentum” – yes, but in moderation is the better approach. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires Understanding the dominant buying motive of the buyer is the Holy Grail of sales. Of course we need to know the primary buying motive – the WHAT, but to really serve the client we need to know the WHY. In particular, how will this buying decision advance their career or their business? Where can we fit in, to become a booster for their success? Risk aversion is a strong emotion in all of us, especially among Japanese buyers, concerning the buying process. We have all been burnt at some stage through a purchase that failed to satisfy us and which we immediately regretted. We paid too much or it broke straight away and the sales person's spiffy spiel wasn't matched by the good's performance. Some people may have an MBA, but we all have an MS - an advanced Master's Degree in Skepticism. The Japanese buyers by the way all seem to have a PhD in Skepticism Of Sales People, especially foreign sales people. As salespeople, we need to be mindful of the client's emotions and find ways to legitimately prove our solution will not disappoint. The client's desire is to improve or defend their situation – no one wishes to go backwards in business. They have their own ideas about how that is done best and our job is to find out WHAT they think and WHY they think it. We may have reached a different conclusion on the HOW, but by understanding what is driving them, we can more easily explain where our solution gels with what they want to achieve. Getting them to do most of the talking and by prompting new thoughts through great questions, we can make that happen. Dramatise your ideas When we pick up the phone to speak with our client or when we sit down in the meeting room with them, they are bursting at the seams with “stuff” in their heads. They are wrestling with what happened yesterday, what they have to get through today and worrying about what will happen tomorrow. These days, we are all having much more face-to-device time than face-to face time. There is no down time any more, as we slip out our phone to check everything we ever wanted to know and lot of things we don't need to know. Salespeople are competing for client brain space with all of this internal “noise”. We need to be primed to break through all the clutter and grab the client's attention or we will never be able to sell our wares. We need to be working out how our client likes to be communicated with. Are they micro or macro focused? Are they interested in people or task outcomes? Once we have established the form of communication which best resonates with them, we should be looking for various ways to dramatise our recommendations. Verbal word picture drawing is a great skill for a salesperson, as we choose evocative words that our listener can see in their minds eye. Collect “power words” that you can pepper your sales explanation with, in order to register the greatest reaction with the buyer. We need to become great story tellers with lots of “colour and movement” to grab their nanosecond attention spans. In regards to the delivery it may vary quit a bit. We may be very direct or we may be very thoughtful in our expression, according to the client's preferred style of communication. We are giving them the floor for the bulk of the meeting time, so we have only a limited window for our words, so we need to be very deliberate in what we are going to say. Salesperson blarney is a thing of the past – you simply don't have enough air time to blab on anymore. We need word injection precision when we speak. The words themselves and the vocal range we use to articulate them, are both important. We need to use speed – fast and slow for emphasis. We need to put the power in for some words and take the power out entirely for others. Word emphasis can completely change the meaning of a sentence. Try this sentence: “I didn't say he hit his friend”. Repeat the sentence seven times but on each occasion, emphasise one word, much more that all of the others. By doing this the inference of the words also changes. This simple exercise underlines that we have a powerful tool at our disposal – our voice. We also need facial expressions and gestures which are congruent with what we are saying and which add strength to amplify the key message. Dale Carnegie was a leader in thinking about being good with people. His principles are universal and timeless. All of us in sales can adopt these principles and become more effective in our dealing with our buyers.

How about a guided tour through the strange science of hormones and the age-old quest to control them? Metabolism, behavior, sleep, mood swings, the immune system, fighting, fleeing, puberty, and sex: these are just a few of the things our bodies control with hormones. Armed with a healthy dose of wit and curiosity, medical journalist Randi Hutter Epstein takes us on a journey through the unusual history of these potent chemicals from a basement filled with jarred nineteenth-century brains to a twenty-first-century hormone clinic in Los Angeles. Brimming with fascinating anecdotes, illuminating new medical research, and humorous details, Aroused introduces the leading scientists who made life-changing discoveries about the #hormone imbalances that ail us, as well as the charlatans who used those discoveries to peddle false remedies. Epstein exposes the humanity at the heart of hormone science with her rich cast of characters, including a 1920s doctor promoting vasectomies as a way to boost libido, a female medical student who discovered a pregnancy hormone in the 1940s, and a mother who collected pituitaries, a brain gland, from cadavers as a source of growth hormone to treat her son. Along the way, Epstein explores the functions of hormones such as leptin, oxytocin, #estrogen, and #testosterone, demystifying the science of endocrinology. A fascinating look at the history and science of some of medicine's most important discoveries, Aroused reveals the shocking history of hormones through the back rooms, basements, and labs where endocrinology began.

It's particularly painful when members of your own family brush aside your attempts to talk to them about Jesus. It's hard to watch as they want nothing to do with God's gift to them of His Son, their Savior. Paul had a somewhat similar experience.

DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE SERMON CONCLUSIONMany preachers understand how to take off but don't know how to land the sermon plane effectively. they circle the runway, looking for a place to land, because they put little thought into how they will get out of the sermon. The last words always lasts the longest. What you say last, particularly in an oral medium, lasts longest in people's minds, memories, and impressions.They can introduce a sermon but struggle with providing an effective conclusion. I will describe three characteristics of an effective conclusion and offer several approaches you can incorporate into your preaching.1. Effective conclusions are a surprise.2. Effective conclusions are brief.3. Effective Conclusions are direct.Get into the habit of listening for the takeaway.What does this sermon require?What does this sermon demand?What will the takeaway look like in real life?Here are some possible conclusions you could employ:Summarize the sermonChoose to give a specific applicationYou can anticipate objectionsYou can return to the original idea in your sermon's introductionYou can vision castThoughts on creating an effective conclusion.Always point back to Jesus Christ - Jesus is center stage. The goal of preaching is not to get people to fall in love with you as the preacher but to get them to fall in love with Jesus. Since the Bible is the story of Jesus' redemptive work, every sermon should draw people to the cross and the Resurrection of Christ.End with emotional intensity - The conclusion should be the emotional high point of the sermon—the crescendo. The target of your preaching should shift from the hearer's head to their heart. I'm not suggesting we use emotions to manipulate, but rather that we persuade a person's will to respond. Ask for a specific response - A sermon's conclusion isn't dynamic until it's specific. The conclusion of a sermon should always answer the question, “Okay, now what?” And if you ask people to do too many things in response to the message, you've asked them to do nothing. Determine what one actionable challenge you should offer at the end of this message.Make it personal - Every listener should feel that you are dealing directly with their heart as an individual.Sound the alarm - Warn them of the consequences of disobedience. Don't hesitate to be bold. If you have preached a salvation sermon, do not be afraid to warn them of avoiding Hell.Make it convicting - Arouse moral indignation and then turn it on them. A good example is the story of Nathan and David (2 Samuel 12). You are not the Holy Spirit. He does the drawing and the saving. Avoid any manipulative language that might cause some to make a false profession.Be encouraging - Be sure to tell the congregation that they can implement and live out the call to action in the sermon through God's power and the help of the Holy Spirit.

Welcome back to this 5-part series on How to Win Friends and Influence People, which is an amazing book by Dale Carnegie. Today we are going to talk about interaction with others, and how to create and handle influence with others.   Part 1- Techniques in Handling People 1-Don't criticize, condemn, or complain. human nature doesn't admit fault people get defensive and resent the critic it takes patience, character and self control “When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic.  We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity" 2-Give honest and sincere appreciation. it brings out the best in someone must be sincere and not motivated flattery is cheap praise and doesn't help long term “I have yet to find the person, however great or exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit of criticism" 3-Arouse in the other person an eager want. forget your own perspective begin to see others point of view combine your desires with their wants…not manipulation “If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own." Part 2- Six Ways to Make People Like You Become genuinely interested in other people. You've heard the phrase, “you can make more friends in two months by being interested in them, than in two years by making them interested in you." outer world reflects your inner world force yourself to smile always Smile. remembering names makes someone feel valued separates you from everyone else tips for remembering names:  repeat it, ask them to repeat it, repeat it often in conversation, write it down, associate with something about them. Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language. ask questions about them show interest about their interests Be a good listener.  Encourage others to talk about themselves. showing interest expressing they are valuable creates longer conversations and impressions Talk in terms of the other person's interests. golden rule…treat others how you wish to be treated start conversations with personal or interest prior to business Make the other person feel important…and do it sincerely. These are amazing tips and strategies….REMINDERS…as to how you can Handle your interactions with people and help make a significant impact on others.  Winning Friends and Influencing People in a “Genuine Way” is not just about Making People Like You, it's really about making an Impact.  I believe if you apply these principles every day, you will create much more Prosperity and Happiness and gain lasting and deep relationships.  We all need to Practice (not just hear) these ideas.

You've heard the phrase, “you can make more friends in two months by being interested in them, than in two years by making them interested in you." outer world reflects your inner world force yourself to smile always Smile. remembering names makes someone feel valued separates you from everyone else tips for remembering names:  repeat it, ask them to repeat it, repeat it often in conversation, write it down, associate with something about them. Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language. ask questions about them show interest about their interests Be a good listener.  Encourage others to talk about themselves. showing interest expressing they are valuable creates longer conversations and impressions Talk in terms of the other person's interests. golden rule…treat others how you wish to be treated start conversations with personal or interest prior to business Make the other person feel important…and do it sincerely. These are amazing tips and strategies….REMINDERS…as to how you can Handle your interactions with people and help make a significant impact on others.  Winning Friends and Influencing People in a “Genuine Way” is not just about Making People Like You, it's really about making an Impact.  I believe if you apply these principles every day, you will create much more Prosperity and Happiness and gain lasting and deep relationships.  We all need to Practice (not just hear) these ideas.

Psalm 7:1-17 A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite. 1 O Lord my God, in You do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me, 2 lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, 4 if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, 5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah 6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; lift Yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; You have appointed a judgment. 7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about You; over it return on high. 8 The Lord judges the peoples; judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me. 9 Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may You establish the righteous— You who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God! 10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. 11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day. 12 If a man does not repent, God will whet His sword; He has bent and readied His bow; 13 He has prepared for him His deadly weapons, making His arrows fiery shafts. 14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. 15 He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made. 16 His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends. 17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High. Key Words: Refuge, Arise, Arouse, Assembly, Judge, Indignation, Repent, Thanks Keystone Verse: If a man does not repent, God will whet His sword. He has bent and readied His bow. (Psalm 7:12)

These days, many people claim to be spiritual but not “religious.” In this Sunday episode, Pastor Greg Laurie shares why an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ is better than mere religion. Listen in! Notes As Christians, we have all been called to share the gospel. We live in a unique time in American history. The days of “cultural Christianity” are largely over. Epicureans believed in the pursuit of pleasure. Stoics believed that “God was in all things.” Effective communication begins with a burden. Sinners are not the enemy, sin is. Effective communication should be culturally relevant. Paul's message arrested the interest of his listeners. Effective communication should build a bridge not burn one. We must preach a biblical message.  Our message must focus on Jesus, crucified and risen!   Paul trusted God for the results.   People reacted differently to Paul's message:  Some mocked  Some delayed  Some believed  Effective communication is summed up by the acronym, S.H.A.R.E.  S: Be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit  H: Honor and respect others  A: Arouse the interest of the listener  R: Reveal sin  E: Explain the way of salvation  Scripture Referenced 2 Timothy 2:26 Isaiah 55:11  2 Timothy 3:15–17 --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
