Podcasts about avoid being

Here's a truth that'll make you uncomfortable: Getting rejected isn't the real problem. The real problem is that you're not doing the work upfront to lower the probability of rejection in the first place. That's the insight that hit when Wendy Ramirez, a leading Mexican sales expert and author of Lo que nadie habla de las ventas: Estrategias para no ser llamarada de petate or What Nobody Talks About in Sales: Strategies to Avoid Being a Flash in the Pan, joined this week's episode about handling rejection on Ask Jeb on The Sales Gravy Podcast. After forty years in sales, I've been rejected yesterday, I'll get rejected tomorrow, and I've been rejected so many times that I almost don't even feel it anymore. But that doesn't mean you can just "let it roll off your back" like some sales trainers tell you. If you're struggling with rejection, you're not alone. And more importantly, you're not broken. There's a biological reason it hurts so badly, and there are concrete techniques you can use to handle it. The Biology of Rejection: Why Your Brain Is Working Against You Here's what most sales trainers won't tell you: Rejection is supposed to hurt. It's baked into your DNA. Forty thousand years ago, human beings lived in small groups around campfires. If you got kicked out of the group and walked away from that campfire into the dark, you were in danger. You were part of the food chain. There were things out there hunting you, rival tribes fighting over scarce resources, and being alone meant you probably weren't going to pass on your genes. So human beings who avoided rejection were more likely to survive. This fear of rejection became an evolutionary advantage, and it's still with us today. That's why selling is so hard. It's why most people don't want to go into sales. Walk into the accounting department and ask if anyone wants to make cold calls with you. They're going to look at you like you've got four heads because nobody wants to be in a profession where you have to do something that unnatural. This avoidance of rejection serves us really well in most of our life. You need to get along with your family, your coworkers, other people in the world. Knowing where the line is that would get you rejected is super important to being able to work as a team. But in sales? It's killing your performance. The Truth About Objections: You're Creating Them When people reject you or give you an objection, what they're expressing is their fear. They're expressing their fear of moving forward, their fear of change, their fear about whether or not you'll do what you say you're going to do. And here's the brutal part: Most of the time, you created that fear. The easiest way to deal with an objection is to do good discovery and do a good job in the selling process. When salespeople make the mistake of not doing any discovery, they don't have any ammunition. So the rejection sounds like this: "Your price is too high." That's the only way a person really knows how to explain it. If they don't like you, they'll say, "We need to go think about this." Think about it this way. If you do a great job of building the relationship, asking questions, listening, getting all of their pain and aspirations on the table, and then telling their story back to them in the context of how you can help them solve their problems, then you've earned the right to ask them. When you ask and they give you an objection, you know what to do because you already have that information. You're just bringing back and putting on the table the things that they already told you. The worst rejections I've gotten? They're usually when I lost a deal because I didn't do discovery. And then I found out after the fact that I missed something I shouldn't have missed. It's not so much the rejection that hurts. It's the shame and the gut punch that I didn't do my job as a salesperson, and therefore I created the environment that made that objection so big that I couldn't get past it because I had no information to work with. The Ledge Technique: Your Magic Quarter Second Let's get practical. You're on a prospecting call, you're engaging another person, and they hit you with an objection which feels like rejection. What do you do? Use a technique called the ledge. Neuroscientists would call it the magic quarter second that allows your executive brain (your prefrontal cortex) to get in control of your emotional brain (your limbic system) and that little structure inside your brain called the amygdala that triggers the fight or flight response. The ledge is just something you've memorized that you say automatically whenever you get that particular objection. The thing about prospecting objections is that we know every potential one. They're not surprising. People are going to say, "I don't have any time," "I'm not interested," "I'm already working with someone," "Your prices are too high," "This is not a good time for me," "I'm not the right person." So if someone says, "I'm too busy right now," I just say, "I figured you would be. And that's exactly why I called." That's all I say. The reason I have that memorized is because when they say that, rather than getting consumed by the fight or flight response, I know exactly what to say. In that magic quarter second, my brain that's smart takes over and says, "This is not a threat. This is just a person who says they don't have enough time right now, and you know exactly how to handle it." Relating: The Slower Form of the Ledge If you're in a slower type of objection (let's say you're asking someone to buy from you), use a form of the ledge by relating with them. When someone gives you an objection, they're expecting conflict because we're just human beings. If I tell you no, I'm expecting you to come back at me. So they give you the objection and they're ready for it. If you punch back, they're going to punch back. Everybody loses. But instead, if you relate to them, you lower the temperature. You get on their side of the table. You show empathy without agreeing with them. Here's what that sounds like in practice: Someone says, "This is more than I wanted to pay." You could say, "Well, look, it's really not that expensive and you're going to get so much out of it." Or you could say, "I totally get where you're coming from. It sounds to me like you're someone who makes really good decisions with their money." You're not agreeing that the price is too high. You're agreeing that they're a person who makes good decisions with their money. You're lowering the conflict level and increasing the collaborative level. You're diffusing them and breaking their pattern. Then you can go into, "When you say it's a little bit more than you wanted to pay, how do you mean? What does that mean to you?" But you always start with relating to them. The One Basic Truth About Objections Here's something you need to understand: In every sales conversation, while facing every objection, it is the human being that has the greatest emotional discipline that is most likely to have control over the conversation. And if you control the conversation, you can handle the objection. This is called relaxed assertive confidence. When you demonstrate this behavior, it almost acts like a magnet. People lean into you. And emotionally (because emotions are contagious), it causes them to respond in kind. When you come off as relaxed and confident, suddenly they lower their conflict level and they become more confident in you as well. There's nothing that handles objections better than pure old confidence. Persistence Always Finds a Way to Win Let me leave you with this: Persistence always finds a way to win. Always. In the US, 44 percent of salespeople only face rejection once before they give up. 78 percent give up after asking twice. 91 percent give up after asking only four times. But on average, it takes eight asks to get someone to say yes to you. So think about that. The statistics are in your favor. The more you're persistent, the more you keep asking, the more likely you're going to get what you want. The more you face rejection, the more likely you're going to get what you want. The inspirational part? Doing that is really hard. It takes discipline, and discipline is defined as sacrificing what you want now for what you want most. The easiest, fastest way to put on that emotional armor and dive into objections and rejections is to know exactly what it is that you want. So that in that moment when your brain is saying to you, "Run, don't do this, don't face it," you remember that on the other side of that rejection is the one thing that you want more than anything else in the world. And you're willing to go through it, around it, under it. No matter what it takes. You're willing to do whatever it takes to get that thing that you want. That's when rejection stops being the problem and starts being just another step in your process. Ready to transform your prospecting approach and fill your pipeline?

Here's a question that'll stop you in your tracks: Would you let someone walk up to you, take your wallet, empty out all your cash and credit cards, and leave your family with nothing? Of course not. That's insane. But if you're in sales and you let rejection stop you from making calls, booking appointments, and closing deals, that's exactly what you're doing. You're handing over your commission check to fear. That was the powerful insight from Wendy Ramirez, a leading Mexican sales expert and author of Lo que nadie habla de las ventas: Estrategias para no ser llamarada de petate or What Nobody Talks About in Sales: Strategies to Avoid Being a Flash in the Pan, on a recent episode of Ask Jeb the Sales Gravy Podcast. When you give rejection the power to stop you, you're literally taking money away from your family. Let that sink in. The Science of Why Rejection Hurts Let's get one thing straight right now: I'm not going to sit here and glorify rejection. Nobody wants to be rejected. Unless you're a pure sociopath who feels nothing (and there aren't many of those in sales), rejection is going to hurt you. It doesn't matter if you're highly outcome-driven like me or highly empathetic. Rejection hurts everyone in different degrees, but it hurts. Period. Here's what's actually happening inside your body when you get rejected: Your brain treats rejection like a physical threat. Fight or flight kicks in. It's a neurophysical response that dumps adrenaline into your bloodstream, makes your heart race, and creates this overwhelming urge to either run away or fight back. That uncomfortable feeling? That's not weakness. That's just science. The Problem: Sales Is a Rejection-Dense Profession Here's the brutal reality about selling: If you don't face rejection, you're going to fail. Sales is what I call a rejection-dense profession. When you hit rejection in sales, you don't have the option of going backwards. You can go over it, through it, around it, or dig under it. But your job is literally to go out into the world, find rejection, and bring it home. That's the job description. That's what we signed up for. Think about it like this: A few years back, I got invited to jump out of an airplane with the Golden Knights, the U.S. Army's elite parachute team. I'm not a skydiver (just like I'm not a Spanish speaker), but what an honor to jump with probably the best parachute team worldwide. I asked the guy I was tandem jumping with how many times he'd jumped. Ten thousand times, he said. So I asked him, "Do you ever get afraid?" His answer changed everything for me: "Of course I get afraid. I'm jumping out of an airplane. Your body is going to get afraid. I've just done it so many times that I know exactly what the process is. I'm able to get myself to jump even though my brain says this is the wrong thing to do." That's exactly what you have to do in sales. Building Obstacle Immunity In my book Objections, I talk about something called obstacle immunity. It's the process human beings go through of facing something that feels really big and uncomfortable, but doing it enough times that we lower the size of that obstacle. The fear of being rejected never fully goes away. But you can lower that fear. Here's how you do it: Develop the Ledge Technique The ledge technique allows you to interrupt or break the pattern you feel in fight or flight when you get rejected. It helps you regain your poise and confidence so you know what to say next. It's about taking control of the conversation when someone gives you an objection. Understand the Difference Between Objections and Rejection An objection isn't the same as a rejection, even though they feel essentially the same in your body. When someone objects, they're giving you information. When someone rejects you, they're saying no. Learn to tell the difference. Focus on Emotional Discipline In emotionally tense situations, you've got to be emotionally disciplined. You've got to gain control, gain poise, and handle those objections in a way that allows you to achieve your desired outcome. The Mindset Makes All the Difference Sales is a skill position. There are particular skills, techniques, and tools you need to deploy to be good at the craft. But the thing that makes all the difference is what's in your head. This is no different than athletics. Elite athletes all operate at similar skill and talent levels. They'll tell you that winning or losing happens between the ears. I'm a big golfer. The difference between me having a really good game or a really bad game is one hundred percent what's in my head. My body knows what to do. I know how to swing the club. The mental game is everything. If you don't fix your mindset, you're not going to get the results you're expecting. People think they're stuck and can't move forward. But it's just about moving your mindset. Get more information. Learn something new. Apply what you learn. That's how you increase your mindset and get better results. Stop Giving Away Your Power When Wendy said, "When you give to the clients, when you give to the people that rejected you, the power to stop you, that's what exactly you do," it hit me like a freight train. You wouldn't let someone take your wallet. You wouldn't let someone steal from your family. So why would you let rejection steal your future? The next time you feel that uncomfortable feeling in your chest after getting rejected, remember this: That feeling is just your body doing what it's supposed to do. It's not telling you to quit. It's telling you that you're doing something hard, something that matters, something that will pay off. Face your fear. Make the next call. The difference between average salespeople and elite performers isn't talent. It's the willingness to go through rejection instead of around it. That's how you win.

When you don't delegate, you risk impairing the growth of your organization, says Daniel in today's episode of The Leadership Growth Podcast.“That is a very limiting, very restrictive mindset,” he says.

Food sensations and flavors. How did you come up with that connection? I learned about the theory of constructed emotions, which is a very common and probably fairly widely accepted idea that we construct our emotions using our experiences, kind of like ingredients that and a recipe. And I got this idea after reading how emotions are made, The Secret Life of the Brain, by Lisa Feldman Barrett. It was an eye popping book, and it got me to think about how if emotions are created from perceptions, then our whole world is like giving us ingredients that we use, and the recipes are everything that we've experienced previously. So we're always living today in the past, unless we're more conscious of what's going on in our current experience. That level of consciousness is what helps us to examine and change the quote, unquote recipe if it's not the right one, or if it's not working for us and the process of flavor, it's not a sense sensory system, like everything that we taste, everything we see, all of these things, these are sensory systems. And taste is a combination of sensory systems you taste with your nose, you taste with your mouth. They even have shown that what you see and what you hear like, if it's crunchy, you think it's fresh, but even music going on around you, you might think, Oh, this music isn't impacting me, but it really can impact the flavor and your experience of food, and the same is true of our emotions. Everything that we experience is a our emotions, rather are a combination of our sensory experiences. That's what influences us. So this is where I got these food metaphors and cooking metaphors. ----- Think of it like a pepper. There's different kinds of peppers, there's bell peppers, and there's jalapenos, and there's habaneros. And yet, we don't attribute hot spiciness to every single pepper out there, right? Because we've learned to distinguish the differences situationally and. Experientially of different peppers. And so the same can be true with our fears, because we tend to have this like one size fits all approach to a lot of emotions, and we we feel one emotion more than others, and we haven't allowed ourselves to recognize that fear can be like a pepper, even love can be like a pepper, and have different gradations of it, different levels of quote, unquote, heat. And with that, you are able to break down that fear into seeing it in its different states. It could be irked, could be nervous. It could be irate, you know? It could be, you know, I need to run for the door, panic. Same with love.... ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

When it comes to accountability, the traditional approach has put leaders in charge of holding others accountable. Often this approach translates into a fear-based, command-and-control, “I have the authority, and I'm going to tell you what to do” approach to accountability.But does this approach work in the modern workplace? (And, we might ask, did it ever work?)In this episode, Daniel and Peter dive into the myth of accountability–the idea that leaders must hold their people accountable. This myth often leads to micromanaging, conflict, and a kind of “parent-child” approach to leadership.Daniel and Peter suggest a better path–one that encourages a culture of self-accountability where teams work together in a partnership to deliver results.Tune in to learn:What the CMC model of accountability is–and why it worksHow to encourage self-accountability as a leaderWhat to do if your team resists an approach of self-accountabilityPlus, some thoughts on Artificial Intelligence, including a big announcement!

This episode is part of my Folklore Friday series where I am sharing a folklore story every Friday in 2024. What Makes a Nykur Different than a Normal Icelandic Horse? Nykur is a water horse that is a gray color but it can shape shift into other things, living or dead. However, it's said that it can't take the shape of lambswool or peeled barley.In most stories, when the Nykur shows up it is normally around water. It lures people in to ride it. The Nykur specifically hangs out around rivers or lakes that are difficult to cross so that you do want to mount it. When you approach it, the Nykur acts super docile and calm. You first think it is a wild horse that is just out and about minding its own business.The Nykur is hoping that when you see that the river or lake is hard to cross that you jump on it to get a ride across. However, as soon as you mount the horse it immediately starts to gallop into the water. In the water, it turns on its side in the deep area, which catches you off guard. The Nykur uses its body weight to sink you deeper into the water and holds you down there until you drown. Definitely not a fun experience. How to Avoid Being a Victim of a Nykur One very obvious difference between a Nykur and a regular horse is that it has inverted hoofs. Yes, their hoofs are literally backwardIf you have already mounted the Nykur and it starts to gallop towards the water, saying its name “Nykur” will immediately make it throw you off of its back because it hates the sound of its name. It will then head into the water without you.One story of a child that was able to survive a Nykur is that a young girl was sleeping out in the Icelandic wilderness near some water. A Nykur saw her and started to drag her into the water. She woke up and realized what was happening. Luckily, she was able to say “Leave me alone, Nykur”. Once it heard its name, the creature released her and raced back into the water.Another way is to make the sign of a cross on the backside of the Nykur is another way to protect yourself. Random Fact of the Episode A Nykur can mate with another horse that is not one of them and create offspring. The offspring look like a regular horse. A big difference is said to be that when water is poured on that horse, it will lay on it side and let the water be poured all over it. Also, if it is going to a river or a lake, it will want to roll over on its side. Icelandic Word of the Episode Nykur can mean neck in Icelandic but in this context it is a water demon.

When I first became a parent coach, I talked a lot with moms about how feelings matter. Over the past 15 years, I've seen a shift. Now there's a lot of awareness about emotions and validation, but I find myself talking more and more about how important it is to have consequences and teach kids that their behavior has an impact.In this episode, you'll learn: Why gentle parenting information is often incompleteWhy it's not enough just to stop yelling and talk about feelingsHow we experience real-life consequences as adults (and how we can use it as a model for parenting)How to protect your own energyThis confusion over, “Ok, I validated their emotion. Now what?” is why I teach the limit setting formula and the concept of restitution. When you're calm AND you put limits, consequences and connection all together, you are teaching your child how to integrate all the parts of their brain. It's a complete parenting model to raise emotionally healthy humans. Listen to learn how.--------------------------------------Parenting culture in the US has come a long way in terms of recognizing and validating our kids' emotions. And at the same time, we're seeing more instances of the “accidentally permissive parent”. Why Permissive Parenting HappensIn a recent study of parents who were practicing gentle parenting principles, 40% said that they actually don't know what they're doing.Many of these parents have values around staying calm during a conflict, not yelling, identifying and naming their child's emotions and trying to help their kid cope with those emotions. They're trying to break cycles of shame and punishment and pain. This is amazing and beautiful. But it is incomplete, because they don't know what to do with the misbehavior. There isn't really language around setting limits or having consequences. This confusion over, “Ok, I validated their emotion. Now what?” is why I teach the limit setting formula and the concept of restitution. When you're calm and you put limits, consequences and connection all together, you are teaching your child how to integrate all the parts of their brain. It's a complete parenting model. Over time, you end up with an emotionally healthy person who knows how to manage their feelings in ways that work for them and others. That is our goal. How to Avoid Being an Accidentally Permissive ParentMany moms who are interested in gentle parenting (also called compassionate or nonviolent parenting) are familiar with the first two steps of the Calm Mama Process: Calm and Connect.In CALM, you regulate your own emotions. This might include healing from past trauma and definitely includes managing your stress levels. In CONNECT, we name, validate and emotionally coach our kids through their Big Feeling Cycles.I believe we need to take connection a step further, and help our kids manage their big feelings within limits.When your kid is struggling with a big feeling, you might feel like you can't set a boundary. You might want to let the misbehavior go because they're already upset. You don't want to bring on more big feelings by dealing with the misbehavior. You can be firm while still recognizing your kid's feelings. In a situation where a kid is throwing things or hitting, this might look like The Hard No. “Everyone stays safe here. You can have your big feelings, but you cannot hit me.” LIMIT SET is the third step. Here, you set clear limits and what your child may do (or what you're willing to do), and hold your boundaries. For example, you tell your child they can play outside after they've finished their...

5 Steps to Avoid Being a Fool or 5 Steps to the Wise Life   (Psalm 1:1-6) The Wise Life Walks in the Ways of Yahweh (1:1) How happy is the one who avoids wicked company. How fitting that the entire Hymnbook of the Bible begins with a most loaded term- happiness and blessedness. Happiness is something that we all treasure and hold dear. So much, so that entire nations have been founded on the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If the blessed life is something we all want, what is it, and how do you find it? From the Christian worldview, blessedness is twofold, dissociation from the wicked and association with the Father. The Psalmist grabs our attention from the first stanza and promises that a happy life is possible and it's found in fellowship with your Creator. We often see the blessed life as a result. Work hard, and you will be happy. Accomplish great things, and you will be satisfied. Find that right relationship, land the prized job, buy the right house, or get accepted into the prestigious institution, and you will achieve happiness. However, the Psalms teach us that blessedness is not a reward but the result of walking with Christ. Are you happy? On a scale of 1-10, are you walking with Jesus daily? The blessed life is a person who lives practically as though God were present, sees God's daily activity, and lives with righteous intention. The holy life is available to anyone who walks in the ways of the Yahweh. The Wise Life Delights in the way of the Lord (1:2). Don't miss the picture; the blessed life is not a walk with folded arms and a sour face but a lifetime of delight in the Father. Delight what a fascinating word that means a person's interest or business or when someone or something pleases. The wise blessed life is not found through sheer will, white-knuckled determination, or rigid fundamentalism. Instead, the Lord has designed you to see delight and experience great indulgence in His Word and His presence. God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him. – John Piper. Do you find true delight in the Word of Yahweh? Life responds to life, and spirit responds to spirit, so it is with the believer's new life. To delight in the Word means that I will treasure His teaching as a guide and a gift. To joy in the Word means that I find deep satisfaction in gospel-shaped authority and boundaries that lead to human flourishing. The delight of the Christian is not a momentary exercise but one that is found through reflection on the Word of Christ throughout the day. Meditate pictures an animal quietly muttering under its breath. This is not the growl of an insured or angry mammal but the natural sounds of life and health. On a scale of 1-10, how much delight for you find in the Word of God and His presence? There is no greater delight in the world than to find joy in Christ and His holy word.  The Wise Life Flourishes Spiritually (1:3) Now, the Psalmist, as they often do, provides a vivid image of the wise life. Picture a tree planted in the harsh dry climate of the Middle East; you would expect to find a sapling fighting for survival, but instead, you see magnificent greenery and abundant fruit. If there were an apple tree, you would have pie for the entire neighborhood. To understand why this tree is beyond healthy, we must understand something about Middle Eastern agriculture. This tree is not a random seed dropped along the path. This tree has been purposely planted beside irrigation canals. Although the yearly weather patterns affect its progression, the daily water source provides growth. If the wise life is like a tree, who is the master arborist? If the tree is stationary, who dug the canals? Yes, Yahweh is the one who provides flourishing. His will for your life is not that you dry up in the heat or scantly produce the random spiritual blueberry. In Jesus Christ, you have been planted near flowing streams to live in the abundance of spiritual life. Fruit and foliage balance each other. The foliage helps the tree receive proper nourishment, and fruit is what the tree lives for. Fruit is not for the tree itself but the forest and the future. In essence, fruit is a tree's offering back to the master Gardener. On a scale from 1-10, are you flourishing spiritually today? A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance (John 10:10) The Wise Life Stands in Righteousness (1:4-5) If the wise life walks in the ways of the Lord, delights in His Word, and drinks continually of the living water, the foolish life embodies the opposite. Read 1:4-5. Did you notice the brevity of the wicked? The righteous life is rooted, but the sinful life is shallow. The righteous life finds fulfillment, but the selfish life is left wanting. Chaff was the waste product blown away by the wind during the harvest. Proper heavy grain remained on the floor during the threshing process, and the useless chaff or husks blew away in the wind. Dear friend, hear the Psalmist, a life without Jesus will never find usefulness and is always spiritually vulnerable. The Christian life is a life molded and used by the Lord for his glory and the good of the world. Be useful! Not only will the foolish life not be used by God, but the wicked person also will not stand in the judgment nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. The Psalmist is very clear; the wicked life will have no leg to stand on in the judgment of a holy and righteous God. Rev 20:11   Then I saw a great white throne and one seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. 12 I also saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which was the book of life, and the dead were judged according to their works by what was written in the books. The wicked will be judged according to their works; the righteous will be judged according to the work of Jesus Christ on the Christ on behalf of guilty sinners. When you stand before the Lord, how will you be judged? The wise life can stand before the throne of God, cleansed and made right by the blood of the Lamb.  The Wise Life is Embraced by the Father (1:6) Read 1:6. A life that never discovers its fundamental purpose is a life lived in futility. But there is hope, God watches, and He knows! When the Psalmist says that God watches, he uses a verb for close personal connection. Yahweh is not distantly watching from a faraway kingdom, hoping everything will work out. Instead, The Father embraces the way of the righteous. Think of how the Messiah demonstrates a sovereign embrace with his people. He turned back when he felt the woman of affliction touch his garment (Matt. 9:20). She was healed, but he stopped and spoke to her. Jesus touched a man with leprosy and said I am willing, be made clean (Mark 1:39). And don't forget the Father who ran threw his arms around the lost son's neck, kissed him, and welcomed him home (Luke 15:21). This is the picture of the Lord who embraces the way of the righteous. If you view God as a distant or absent Father, see Him as the Eternal Father who embraces His children. If you feel distant from the Lord today, what if Yahweh is not the one who has drifted? The wise and righteous life is the one that is embraced constantly by the Father. So What? In 2016 an apartment building home to migrant workers collapsed, killing 22 people. The recent heavy rainfall combined with the poor quality of construction and age of the structures built by the villagers were probable contributing factors. While rescuers frantically searched for survivors, they discovered a 26-year-old shoe factory worker under a thick cement pillar draped over his daughter. The father lost his life in the collapse, but the young child survived, causing one rescuer to make this observation: The child was able to survive entirely thanks to the fact that her dad used his own flesh and blood to prop up a life-saving space for his daughter," a rescuer told the China Youth Daily. The embrace of a Father can change your life. In a small way, what this father did to save his daughter is a picture of what God the Father did to bring you life. In the Christian worldview, wisdom is never only a virtue to attain or an attitude to hold. Wisdom and truth are a person, the person of Jesus Christ. Godly wisdom always calls for a response – a demand for total commitment. Wisdom is the “right use of knowledge.” – C.H. Spurgeon True wisdom is not a concept, virtue, or personification. Eternal wisdom is a person, the person of Jesus Christ.

Why is it so hard to talk to people? Living in the era of direct messages, tweets, emails, and texts, it's becoming harder and harder to talk to each other directly. Communicating with someone is an art that's needed more than ever. To get ahead in business or your personal life, at some point, you need to learn how to talk with people in your life using methods other than text or emails. If making conversation is intimidating to you, then use these tips to master the art of talking to anyone: Ask More Interesting Relevant Questions Rather than asking a 'yes' or 'no,' questions try asking questions requiring more complicated answers. For example, if you're in a networking situation, think about the answers you want and need to know from the people around you; be open to sharing information about yourself as well. Use your questions intentionally when explicitly asking the people about a new project they're developing. Listen, process, and then ask some follow-up questions. The goal here is really to listen for an opportunity to support the people you are talking to. Be a servant before a salesman. Avoid Being the Weather Person Do not ask questions about the weather unless that's the topic around you. If someone approaches you and asks you the weather question, answer it and then redirect the discussion to a more relevant topic or the focus of the networking event. You can respond by saying, "It makes me think of going to Dubai. Tell me, have you ever visited Dubai or another country?" Make sure to embed some relevant questions to business as well throughout the conversation. Always have the person speak more while you listen more. Learn the Power of Compound Compounding is a simple technique where you take what someone else has said and add something to it, adding a question at the end. Compounding questions helps keep the conversation going even when someone else has stopped the conversation; you will redirect the conversation into a new topic of your choice. Remember your intention for speaking with the person or attending the network event. For example, if you're asked if you saw the game last night, you might say, "Yes, that play at the end was something. It reminded me of a time when I went to see them play in person. Tell me, what's the best game you ever saw?" Pay Attention Details Details are critical in conversations. Become the person who notices when a conversation is not going well. Be ready to jump in with a question or a new topic, especially when people are uncomfortable with the conversation. In this situation, Lol, talk about the weather. Becoming a great conversationalist will become more natural with practice. Remember, the important thing is to relax and be friendly and personable. By paying attention to the discussion and taking some care in choosing your words, you'll find yourself having great conversations with anyone.

Overachieving isthe Holy Grail, the way you measure people's performance, the way you measure people's success, and a very attainable and a desirable way to live. Overachieving comes with a lot of pitfalls. If you don't intervene, if you don't make a decision to overcome this obsessive compulsive desire to work and chase, and set your standards extraordinarily high, you will collapse, physically, personally, or professionally. 8% of the population. Overachievers go above and beyond. “I like to work,” but when it turns into an addiction/need you will need to recover because you will wear yourself out. Timing on Recording: @ 12:52  --- Topic 2: Correlation between overachievement and perfectionism and the Difference Between Them Perfectionism is never a good thing, it is like having a bully in your head that is beating up a tiny child. What are you trying to numb? Difference between overachievement and perfectionism is what is the intention? Intention is either to destroy the opponent and never be seen versus to thrive above and beyond my own personal standards. Timing on Recording: @ 22:03  --- Topic 3: Tactical Steps You Can Take to Avoid Being an Overachiever Reassess what success means to you. What is stopping you from making it really feel differently, not look differently, feel differently? And when you assess that, you are starting to see success. Talk to yourself really, really nice. Have self-awareness, know your blind spots. Timing on Recording: @ 28:28  --- Topic 4: What is Cognitive Entrenchment? “I know that already.” “We've never done it that way before, so why would we do it this way now?” Two styles of developing superstardom. You can take this and decide to do something with it… Timing on Recording: @ 44:45  --- Topic 5: How to Climb Out of Overachieving Ways Self-awareness is hard, it involves suffering. Really think about yourself and face your emotions. Before you can stop to think about yourself, one of the easiest ways to gain perspective is to serve others. Work within your own dedicated confines. Make your choices better so that you get a clearer picture about serving and making your life meaningful for you. Timing on Recording: @ 52:41 --- Topic 6: Getting to Know Keren Eldad Who has influenced you most in your life and in your career and what did they do?: Madonna and Frasier Books, education and training that have been instrumental to you: DISC and Motivators Certification; Book Solve for Happy by Mo Gawdat When you think of the word successful, who comes to mind?: Dolly Parton and the Dalai Lama. What are the things that you do that help you create more wake up eager days?: Love what you do and love who you are with. What advice would you give your 25-year-old self?: “Be easy on yourself. You are doing much better than you think.” If you could have a billboard anywhere, what would it be? Where would it be? What would it say?: “Welcome to Miami. Keren lives here.” Last bit of advice or wisdom about the superstar paradox: “My hope that we start to move away as a culture from the adulation, overwork of hustle and I'm doing too much. We've become human doings and not human beings and it's not shameful to ask for help when you've been doing this for a really long time and you're just done with it.”
