Today's episode explores the power of storytelling in sales and communication, particularly within the contracting industry. Eric shares personal anecdotes, including a recent experience preparing for a speaking engagement, to illustrate the importance of crafting compelling narratives. The show emphasizes the need for authenticity and tailoring stories to resonate with the audience and their individual personalities. It cautions against self-centered or overly dramatic narratives, advocating instead for stories that highlight how the business can solve clients' problems. Practical tips, like third-party storytelling and avoiding "one-upping," are offered to improve sales interactions. Ultimately, Eric suggests that effective storytelling builds trust, attracts the right customers, and fosters stronger relationships.   Key Takeaways:   Use stories to engage your audience; stories are naturally compelling and can enhance communication in various contexts, including sales. Be deliberate in crafting your stories, especially in sales training, to illustrate how client problems can be resolved by presenting third-party examples. Ensure that your story focuses on the client's perspective and the impact on them, not on yourself or irrelevant details. When telling a story, be aware of different personality types and tailor your approach accordingly; some, like high-D personalities, prefer directness over storytelling, especially during a sales process. Use storytelling in your branding and marketing to attract the right customers, ensuring your brand communicates a clear message that resonates with your target audience.   Links to resources:    Contractor Sales Secrets: ContractorSalesSecrets.com   Water Garden Expo 2025: WGExpo.com   The All American Koi Show: AllAmericanKoiShow.com   Fitz Fish Ponds: Koi Trips   Book A Call With Triplett: Call with Triplett   The Pond Digger: https://theponddigger.com/   LA Pet Fair: https://www.lapetfair.com/    Atlantic-Oase: https://www.atlantic-oase.com/   Get The FREE Labor Rate Calculator from SynkedUP: hubs.ly/Q0372zyP0   Pond Professionals Alliance: https://pondprofessionalsalliance.org/   You can also check out The Pond Digger's products at:   http://helixpondfiltration.com/    TWT Contractor Circle   TWT Contractor Power Circle   And follow his adventures in the pond world at: Instagram  Facebook  TikTok 

Today's focus is on future pacing, a sales and communication technique that involves helping people visualize their problems being solved. The episode explores how future pacing can be used in various contexts, from sales and coaching to personal relationships, to help others envision positive outcomes and make decisions. Examples include using future pacing to understand a customer's project vision, motivating personal changes, and enhancing relationships by imagining positive scenarios. The discussion emphasizes that future pacing is a helpful, rather than deceptive, tactic to guide people toward the right choices.   Key Takeaways: Use future pacing to help customers visualize the end result or the value of your service. Incorporate future pacing questions in your sales process to better understand customer needs. Apply future pacing in personal relationships to explore future plans and desires together. Use negative future pacing to highlight the consequences of not addressing a problem. Practice future pacing through role-playing to become more comfortable and effective with the technique.   Links to resources:    Contractor Sales Secrets: ContractorSalesSecrets.com   Water Garden Expo 2025: WGExpo.com   The All American Koi Show: AllAmericanKoiShow.com   Fitz Fish Ponds: Koi Trips   Book A Call With Triplett: Call with Triplett   The Pond Digger: https://theponddigger.com/   LA Pet Fair: https://www.lapetfair.com/    Atlantic-Oase: https://www.atlantic-oase.com/   You can also check out The Pond Digger's products at:   http://helixpondfiltration.com/    TWT Contractor Circle   TWT Contractor Power Circle   And follow his adventures in the pond world at: Instagram  Facebook  TikTok

177 How to Coach Fear How do you help someone move forward when fear is holding them back? In this episode, we explore how to recognise, name, and coach fear in a way that empowers clients to navigate their emotions and achieve meaningful progress. Fear often shows up in coaching sessions, sometimes explicitly but often disguised as procrastination, indecision, or avoidance. We dive into practical strategies to coach fear, starting with helping clients name their emotions and connect them to the gap between where they are and where they want to be. We share real-life examples of how fear shows up, like hesitation about applying for a promotion or anxiety about a major life decision, and how we've guided clients through these moments using exploratory questions, visioning, and emotional sequencing. Coaching fear isn't just about solving a problem; it's about unlocking self-awareness and building emotional agility. We discuss how to engage with emotions as allies rather than obstacles and explore ways to help clients see fear as a guide rather than a barrier. Whether you're a coach or someone looking to understand fear better, this episode will provide you with practical tools to deepen your emotional exploration.   Steps to Coach Fear and Emotions Recognise and Name the Emotion Ask questions like, What are you feeling about this? or share observations: I sense there may be fear here—does that resonate? Explore the Gap Between Current and Desired States Help clients identify the emotional gap between where they are and where they want to be. Unpack Emotional Layers Ask deeper questions: What's beneath this fear? or What happens if you move past it? Use Visioning Techniques Guide clients to imagine the best-case scenario. What will you see, hear, or feel when you achieve this? Examine Emotional Sequences Explore what emotions follow fear. What do you typically feel after fear, and what would you prefer to feel instead? Give the Emotion a Voice Encourage clients to dialogue with their fear: If this fear could talk, what would it say? What does it need? Reframe Fear as a Friend Ask, What if fear is here to guide you? How could it help you achieve your goal? Check for Alignment Ensure the goal aligns with the client's values, resources, and readiness to act.   Key Lessons Learned Fear often masks deeper emotions, like insecurity or doubt. Recognising and naming emotions is the first step to transformation. Emotions are not obstacles—they are guides that reveal what's truly important. Exploring emotional sequences can help clients build self-awareness and resilience. Aligning goals with emotions and values creates a roadmap for progress.   Key Takeaways Use curiosity to explore fear as a gateway to deeper self-awareness. Guide clients to see fear not as a blocker but as a source of valuable information. Engage emotions in a structured way, using tools like emotional sequencing or visioning. Create a safe space for clients to unpack their emotions without judgment. Apply these steps to your own fears for personal growth and clarity.   Timestamps 00:13 – 00:46: Introduction—Why fear is central to coaching conversations 01:44 – 02:34: The role of fear in the coaching gap 03:04 – 04:01: Recognising how fear manifests as indecision or procrastination 05:26 – 06:50: Using exploratory questions to uncover hidden emotions 07:20 – 08:19: Emotional sequences—what comes after fear? 09:40 – 10:34: Giving emotions a voice: engaging with fear as a guide 11:47 – 12:45: Why coaching emotions is foundational to growth 14:03 – 14:33: Using your own intuition as a coach to sense fear in clients 16:25 – 17:50: Practical tools like the emotions wheel to deepen client awareness 19:15 – 20:39: Reframing fear as a friend, not an enemy 20:47 – 21:17: Final reflections—applying these techniques to your own coaching practice   Keywords: How to coach fear, Coaching emotional awareness, Emotional exploration in coaching, Coaching emotions wheel, Emotional agility for clients, Neuro-Linguistic Programming coaching tools, Reframing fear in coaching, Fear and goal setting, Coaching techniques for fear and emotions, Emotional sequences in coaching,   Links: Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training: www.igcompany.co.uk/emotionscoaching   COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 5 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l5-diploma COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 7 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l7-diploma   Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://amzn.to/3UvUe9r Neurodivergent inclusive coaching programme: http://www.igcompany.co.uk/nd Resources: Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/  Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com  Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram www.instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

176 Well Formed Coaching Outcomes As we settle into the new year, we dive into a powerful tool from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that's designed to help you set well-formed coaching outcomes. Whether you're supporting clients or working on your personal goals, this structured approach helps ensure goals are both achievable and meaningful. In this episode, we reflect on the importance of setting goals that are fully within our control. Many of us—and our clients—fall into the trap of creating goals tied to external factors, like a promotion or financial gain, which often leads to stress and frustration. Instead, we focus on crafting goals that are actionable, inspiring, and fully achievable. We guide you step-by-step through a framework of eight essential questions that can help create clarity and motivation. These questions can be used in coaching sessions to transform vague aspirations into tangible, inspiring outcomes. Jo shares how small language shifts—like reframing a client's "I don't want" statement into "I want"—can unlock surprising insights. We also discuss how vividly imagining success can ignite energy and motivation, making the goal feel within reach. As coaches, our job isn't just to help clients dream big but to anchor those dreams into practical steps that fit their values, resources, and reality. Along the way, we share examples from our sessions, like how sensory-based questions—“What will you hear when you succeed?”—can reveal unexpected details that deepen a client's connection to their goal. The conversation ends with a reminder to apply these questions to your own life. As we step into 2025, how might you create well-formed outcomes for yourself?   Steps to Create a Well-Formed Coaching Outcome What do you want? Use positive, future-focused language to articulate the goal. Avoid framing it around what you don't want. Is it achievable? Ensure the goal is realistic and assess whether it's within the client's capabilities or requires additional steps, like research or skill-building. What will you accept as evidence that you've achieved your outcome? Help the client create a sensory-rich picture of success—what they will see, feel, hear, or experience upon achieving the goal. Is achieving this outcome within your control? Reframe goals that rely on external factors to focus on actions the client can directly control. Are the costs and consequences of obtaining this outcome acceptable? Assess the broader impact of the goal—on relationships, finances, time, and values—to ensure alignment. Do you have all the resources you need to achieve your outcome? Explore tangible (tools, finances) and intangible (beliefs, knowledge) resources required for success. Does achieving this outcome fit with your values? Goals misaligned with values are difficult to achieve. Ensure the goal resonates with the client's core beliefs. If you could have it now, would you take it? A final check to confirm the goal is authentic and deeply desired by the client.   Key Lessons Learned Goals framed in positive language create focus and direction. Clear evidence of success helps align the mind with the outcome. Control over the goal eliminates unnecessary anxiety and builds confidence. Exploring costs and values ensures sustainable, meaningful goals. Asking sensory-based questions deepens the client's emotional connection to the goal.   Key Takeaways Use the seven steps as a framework for personal or client goal-setting. Focus on what's within your control to reduce stress and increase motivation. Ensure alignment with values to maintain commitment and energy. Leverage visualisation and sensory cues to amplify connection to the goal. Don't fear revisiting steps; refining a goal is progress, not failure.   Timestamps 00:03 – 00:47: Introduction—why we're focusing on well-formed coaching outcomes 00:47 – 01:41: Setting goals that are fully within your control 02:10 – 03:07: Coaching isn't just about goals—it's about clarity and exploration 04:03 – 04:25: Step 1: What do you want? 06:22 – 06:49: Step 2: Is it achievable? 08:36 – 09:32: Step 3: What will you accept as evidence? 11:30 – 12:26: Step 4: Is achieving this within your control? 14:10 – 14:39: Step 5: Are the costs and consequences acceptable? 16:36 – 17:31: Step 6: Do you have the resources you need? 17:59 – 18:26: Step 7: Does it fit with your values? 18:55 – 19:21: Step 8: If you could have it now, would you take it? 20:20 – 21:17: Wrapping up—applying the framework to yourself Keywords Well-formed coaching outcomes, NLP goal-setting framework, Coaching questions for clarity, Goal-setting techniques for coaches, Achievable coaching goals, Creating aligned goals, Coaching and values alignment, Positive language for goal setting, Reducing anxiety in goal achievement, Coaching framework for success   Links: COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 5 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l5-diploma COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 7 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l7-diploma   Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://amzn.to/3UvUe9r Neurodivergent inclusive coaching programme: http://www.igcompany.co.uk/nd Resources: Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/  Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com  Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram www.instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

173 8 End of Year Questions In this reflective end-of-year episode, we guide listeners through 8 powerful coaching questions to close out 2024 and set intentions for 2025. Inspired by the idea of Christmas crackers but swapping out cheesey jokes for meaningful questions, we pair reflection with forward-thinking, encouraging listeners to pause, reflect, and plan. The episode begins with a question about what has influenced you this year—whether people, events, or personal experiences—and pairs it with a forward-looking prompt: Who am I becoming? Drawing on vivid metaphors of life paths, we invite listeners to consider whether they are following familiar routes, veering off onto less-trodden trails, or creating entirely new pathways. Listeners are then asked to explore their world work—the contribution they've made, whether large or small, to the world around them. we emphasise that world work doesn't need to be grandiose; acts of kindness, caregiving, and listening all count. This reflection naturally flows into the forward-looking question: What is the world calling you to do? A deeper emotional exploration comes next: What have you denied yourself this year? From experiences to emotions like joy or anxiety, we highlight the importance of identifying unconscious denials and bringing them into awareness. The follow-up question, What will you allow or welcome in next year?, encourages listeners to grant themselves permission to embrace what truly matters. Finally, the episode turns toward gratitude. Listeners reflect on what and who they are most grateful for and are challenged to consider how they will share that gratitude in the year ahead. From personal stories of transformative gratitude to ideas about paying it forward, we remind everyone that gratitude, when shared, becomes even more powerful. As the year closes, this episode is a reflective companion for anyone seeking clarity, growth, and intention for the new year. The 8 End-of-Year Coaching Questions What has influenced me this year? Who am I becoming? What world work have I done this year? What is the world calling me to do? What have I denied myself this year? What will I allow or welcome in next year? What and who am I most grateful for this year? How will I share my gratitude in the year ahead? In this Episode you will Learn: Reflection unlocks clarity: Pausing to review the past year helps identify influences and set intentional goals for the future. Small contributions matter: “World work” can be simple acts of kindness, caregiving, or listening. Awareness changes patterns: Recognizing what you've denied yourself allows for conscious choices moving forward. Gratitude is grounding and powerful: Sharing gratitude amplifies its impact and fosters connection. Intention shapes who you become: By asking who you choose to be, you align actions with desired growth. Key Takeaways Use these 8 coaching questions as journaling prompts or conversation starters for reflection. Don't underestimate the small ways you contribute to the world—kindness, care, and attention all matter. Acknowledge the emotions or experiences you may have denied yourself and give yourself permission to embrace them. Gratitude is transformative when shared—consider how you can express it more intentionally in the coming year. Life paths are yours to create—are you following the familiar, stepping off the track, or forging new trails?   Timestamps 00:03 – 01:00: Introduction – 8 End-of-Year Coaching Questions explained 01:14 – 02:28: Question 1: What has influenced me this year? 02:28 – 03:44: Question 2: Who am I becoming? 04:13 – 05:25: Question 3: What world work have I done this year? 05:25 – 06:48: Question 4: What is the world calling me to do? 07:05 – 08:42: Question 5: What have I denied myself this year? 11:25 – 12:04: Question 6: What will I allow or welcome in next year? 12:48 – 15:10: Question 7: What and who am I grateful for this year? 18:32 – 21:56: Question 8: How will I share my gratitude in the year ahead? 21:56 – 22:20: Closing reflections and gratitude for the listeners Keywords End-of-year reflection questions, Coaching questions for personal growth, Setting intentions for the new year, Gratitude reflection exercises, How to plan for the year ahead, Personal growth coaching tools, Coaching Crowd podcast, World work and contribution, Reflective journaling prompts, Emotional awareness and gratitude,   Links: COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 5 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l5-diploma COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 7 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l7-diploma   Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://amzn.to/3UvUe9r Neurodivergent inclusive coaching programme: http://www.igcompany.co.uk/nd Resources: Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/  Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com  Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram www.instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

Drawing from his own experiences as a former engineer in the medical device industry, Neil shares insights on the common pitfalls technical professionals face when communicating with non-technical audiences, such as the overuse of jargon and a lack of empathy for the audience's understanding KEY TAKEAWAYS Use plain language and avoid technical jargon or acronyms that non-technical audiences may not understand. Instead, opt for simpler terms and analogies to convey complex ideas. Remember that not everyone has the same technical background. Consider the perspective of your audience and tailor your message to their level of understanding. Incorporate storytelling into presentations to make technical information more relatable and engaging. This helps the audience connect with the material and understand its relevance. Clearly define what you want your audience to do after your presentation. Start with the desired outcome in mind and structure your content to lead to that conclusion. BEST MOMENTS "Technical jargon is a big issue. We assume non-technical people know these words, but a lot of times they don't. We should use more analogies and simpler words to communicate effectively." "If you're the technical person, you may not see it as part of your job to do that translation. It's not until you want that promotion that you realise the importance of communication." "Storytelling is really important. If you want people to follow what you're saying, couching technical data in the form of a story can help non-technical people understand."

In "Secrets of Human Influence - Weapons of Social Seduction Part 4," David Snyder discusses reprogramming the subconscious mind for success. David talks about persuasion techniques and personal reasons for doing something, removing resistance through autonomy restoration, persuasion techniques for influencing others, and personal development and influencer marketing. He also talks about hypnosis techniques for changing habits and behaviors. In this episode, David gives a complete plan for using hypnotic language patterns to connect with others and persuade them. He also talks about ways to overcome reluctance and control your state during persuasion. Standout Quotes: "The path towards the zenith of success and controlling your life. Is it in your hands?" "Have you triggered defensiveness so that level five jumps to level six or seven? The moment a person has to answer the 'why' question, their resistance to change gets stronger, only this time, it's getting stronger in the direction of the choice you want them to make." "Now, as you look at that reason, on a scale of zero to 10, how much might you want to do that? Why did you rate it so high? Why didn't you rate it lower?" "Anger is just a form of defensiveness. If you haven't given back their sense of safety and validation, you have to give them back their autonomy." "People can't make decisions without going into an altered state. They can't think, they can't imagine, they can't remember without altering their state." "Hypnosis is anything that takes you from one state to another functionally." "Your habits are imprints locked in at the subconscious mind." Key Takeaways: Use techniques like rapport building, restoring autonomy, and removing resistance to boost your persuasive powers and influence others. To truly influence, it's all about understanding and aligning with others' personal reasons, values, and goals. There is no need to push your own agenda. For conversation and persuasion to work, it's important to manage your own state and the states of others through language. A structured approach to persuasion, like the 7-step plan shown, can help organize the process of persuasion. Storytelling and future pacing can be a great combo. Replace those bad habits with positive goals to strengthen desired behavior changes. Take classes in NLP, hypnosis, and influence for personal growth. These classes can help you reach your goals and help others. Episode Timeline: [00:02] – How does David guide individuals to overcome self-doubt and take control of their lives?

In this insightful solo episode of the Learn or Be Learned podcast, host Shiva Dhanasekar reflects on his journey of discovering his passion for podcasting after leaving his previous career in medicine. Listeners will gain a unique perspective as Shiva recounts his experience realizing medicine was no longer a "hell yes" for him and what led to the decision to pursue his true calling. Through candid storytelling, Shiva explores the importance of only committing your time and energy to opportunities that truly resonate with your soul. This introspective episode provides valuable first-hand lessons on the power of pursuing your authentic self and living a life of "hell yes" moments. Summary In this episode of Learn or Be Learned, host Shiva Dhanasekar discusses his personal journey of transitioning out of medicine after realizing it was no longer his passion, and how developing his podcast allowed him to pursue his true "hell yes" calling of entrepreneurship and wellness education; he also provides insight into his "hell yes or no" framework for decision making, emphasizing the importance of only committing to opportunities and careers that truly ignite your soul. Key Takeaways Use the "hell yes or no" framework to filter opportunities and only commit your time and energy to things that genuinely excite and fulfill you. It's important to continually evaluate your interests, values, and passions to ensure your career is aligned with your authentic self. Don't be afraid to make a change if something is no longer a "hell yes."

"The more hell yeses you do, the more authentic you become. And there's nothing better than being your most authentic self." - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:15:00] - Living authentically by only pursuing things you're passionate about is emphasized here. "I feel very honored and grateful I, across my metaphorical desk, I had three amazing opportunities laid out in front of me to choose from. And I wanted to do home all I wanted to do I wanted to say yes to everything. I wanted to say yes to everything. And it will only was when I truly took a deep look and started dissecting everything I realized that's not a hell yes." - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:20:00] - This quote illustrates how applying the "hell yes" framework can prevent over-committing by helping identify true passions and priorities.

While many sales professionals are already talented in their craft, there is always room for improvement. In this article, we will explore the power of negotiation and how it can take your sales game to the next level. Drawing from my experience working with renowned negotiator Chris Voss, I will share some of the techniques and strategies that have proven to be highly effective. By implementing these tactics into your daily process, you can enhance your ability to listen to customers, address their concerns, and close deals with confidence.   The Mirror Technique: One powerful negotiation technique is the mirror technique. This involves repeating back the last three or four words the customer says, demonstrating that you are actively listening. By using this technique, you can make the customer feel heard and understood, which is essential for building trust. As I always say, "People like to do business with people who listen." The mirror technique also encourages the customer to share more information, as they feel validated and acknowledged. It's important to use this technique subtly and naturally, without overdoing it. By incorporating the mirror technique into your conversations, you can elevate your sales game and establish stronger connections with customers.   Strategic Silence: Confidence is key in negotiations, and one way to exude confidence is through strategic silence. Instead of rushing to respond, take your time and allow moments of silence to hang in the air. This gives the customer an opportunity to process what has been said and potentially overcome any challenges or objections they may have. Strategic silence can also be used to plant a seed in the customer's mind, allowing it to sprout and influence their decision-making process. By mastering the art of strategic silence, you can create a more impactful and persuasive sales experience.   No-Oriented Questions: In sales, we are often taught to get customers to say "yes." However, using no-oriented questions can be just as effective, if not more so. People are more comfortable saying no, as they have been doing so since childhood. By asking questions that elicit a no response, you can counter the counterfeit yes and encourage more honest and authentic communication. For example, instead of asking, "Would you like to schedule a test drive?" try asking, "Would it be a bad idea for us to schedule a time for you to test drive the vehicle?" This approach allows the customer to express any concerns or hesitations they may have, leading to a more productive and transparent conversation.   The F Word in Negotiation: The F word in negotiation is not what you might expect. It's fair. Many customers want to feel that they are being treated fairly throughout the sales process. By addressing fairness head-on, you can establish trust and build stronger relationships with customers. Instead of asking if something sounds good, try asking if it sounds fair. This simple shift in language can make a significant difference in how customers perceive your offers and proposals. Remember, sales is an emotional process, and fairness is a crucial component of creating a win-win situation for both parties involved.   Role Playing: Role playing is a powerful tool for honing your negotiation skills. By practicing different scenarios with colleagues or managers, you can prepare yourself for various challenges and objections that may arise during real customer interactions. Role playing allows you to refine your responses, experiment with different approaches, and gain confidence in your ability to handle any situation. While some may be hesitant to engage in role playing, it is an essential part of becoming a top-performing sales professional. Embrace the opportunity to practice and improve your negotiation skills, and you will see the results in your sales performance.   Labeling Customer Emotions: Understanding and addressing customer emotions is crucial in negotiation. By labeling their emotions, you can create a more open and transparent dialogue. If a customer seems hesitant or concerned, acknowledge their emotions by saying something like, "It sounds like you're feeling hesitant about the price." This demonstrates empathy and shows that you are attuned to their needs and concerns. By addressing emotions directly, you can build trust and rapport, leading to more successful negotiations.   Conclusion: Negotiation is a fundamental skill in automotive sales, and by implementing these techniques, you can elevate your sales game to new heights. The mirror technique, strategic silence, no-oriented questions, fairness, role playing, and labeling customer emotions are all powerful tools that can enhance your ability to connect with customers, address their concerns, and close deals with confidence. By mastering these techniques, you can create a more impactful and successful sales experience. Remember, sales is an emotional process, and by understanding and addressing customer emotions, you can build trust and establish long-lasting relationships. Embrace the power of negotiation and watch your sales soar.   Future Outlook: As the automotive industry continues to evolve, the importance of negotiation skills will only grow. With advancements in technology and changing consumer preferences, sales professionals must adapt and refine their negotiation techniques to meet the demands of the modern marketplace. By staying informed and continuously improving their skills, sales professionals can position themselves for success in an ever-changing industry. The future of automotive sales belongs to those who can effectively negotiate, connect with customers, and provide exceptional service. Embrace the power of negotiation and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.     Resources Dealer Synergy & Bradley On Demand: The automotive industry's #1 training, tracking, testing, and certification platform and consulting & accountability firm.

In this episode, Lisa and Jennifer discuss:Pros and cons of universities versus colleges (and how each might work better for your student). Review your student's college list, recognizing what is different, and understanding what options your student will have at each school. Using experiences and extracurricular activities to understand what careers and majors fit. College and major flexibility for engineering different degrees. Key Takeaways: Use the college list process to learn and educate yourself about your student and their desires, not just about the schools. The essay questions asked by admissions give an insight into what is important to the college or university. Starting early can only help, but it is not a cure-all. As your student moves through maturity they will grow and change. Your student needs to do their homework to understand the requirements of the college major and make sure they fit in with the needs of your student.  “It's great when students are doing things that interest them, not because it's impressive to an admissions officer, but because it's something that's genuine and born from within and they care about. That's when we all shine the most.” – Jennifer StephanAbout Jennifer Stephan: Dr. Jennifer Stephan, Ph.D., has spent her entire career helping young adults achieve their academic and personal goals through her roles as a professor, academic dean, alumni interviewer, independent educational consultant, and parent.Jennifer holds a BS degree in electrical engineering from Johns Hopkins University and an MS and a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.After completing her doctorate, Jennifer spent over two decades at Wellesley College; fourteen years as a professor of computer science, followed by eight years as a class dean.

Key Takeaways • Use the first half of a marathon as a warm up, race slower than your goal race pace  • Runners can use strength training to restore damaged body tissue and build a more robust body • All 3 macronutrients are important for runners, but protein is actually the most important   “People talk about hitting a wall. To me the wall just means that you ran dumb. You've been too fast and you have nothing left,” explains Tristan Mitchell, owner, manager, and coach at Lions Den SMP. Tristan has completed 24 marathons and has learned a lot about training for running since his first attempt at age 20. Today, he joins host Dr. Andrew Fix to discuss strategies for smarter marathon training.   Running for extended periods of time is very rough on the body because it is incredibly repetitive. In order to master the marathon without harming your body, it is important to train strategically. This means not only learning how to pace yourself properly throughout the race depending on its length, but also knowing how to fuel your body efficiently beforehand. People are quick to think of carbohydrates for runners, but protein is even more important as a building block for your body to function at its best. Additionally, adding in strength training can help restore the body tissues that have been damaged by the repetitive motions of running.   If you start off a marathon running your hardest, you will likely hit a wall pretty quickly. That's why it is imperative to pace yourself and purposefully run slower than your race pace goal for the first half of the marathon before kicking it into high gear for the second half. Be sure to fuel up on lots of protein beforehand and consider adding strength training to your regimen to help your body become more robust.    Quotes • “Learning how to negative split races was huge, and ever since then it's something I've really worked at in the marathon and prided myself on. (20:20-20:29 | Tristan) • “The way I always like to think about it is having these things that I can draw upon to elicit an adrenaline response, something that just fires me up. And I save these things for the second half of a marathon.” (21:51-22:05 | Tristan) • “If you go out too hard, you simply burn up too much of your stored carbohydrates.” (33:00-33:06 | Tristan) • “People talk about hitting a wall. To me the wall just means that you ran dumb. You've been too fast and you have nothing left.” (33:11-33:19 | Tristan) • “When it comes to running, strength training builds a more robust body. It builds a body that can tolerate the demands of running training more effectively.” (49:25-49:38 | Tristan)  • “All three of the macronutrients are highly important aspects of a runner's diet, protein, fat and carbohydrates. But I think that we must get runners to think through the lens of protein first, because it is the building block.” (1:05:41-1:05:59 | Tristan)   Links Connect with Tristan Mitchell: Website | ​​https://www.lionsdensmp.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/lionsdensmp/?hl=en Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/LionsDenSMP   Connect with Physio Room:  Website | ​​https://physioroomco.com/  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/physioroomco/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/physioroomco Andrew's Personal Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.andrewfix/  Andrew's Personal Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/andrew.fix.9/   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

This versatile entrepreneur offers his expertise and talent as a financer, real estate developer and start-up investor. He is the man behind AK Enterprises, a holding company, and the parent company of a handful of other businesses. One of the biggest labels under AK Enterprises is TUK Capital.

King hopes to expand TUK Developments to the US and build a repertoire for community projects with affordable housing. JORDAN KING resources: https://jordanalexanderking.com/   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Use your personal strengths to succeed - Evan has always been competitive and was involved in sales. He was interested in financial growth as well as personal growth. Him and Jordan are both very driven and competitive people who have naturally extroverted personalities and therefore large networks. They started TUK capitals by connecting people who had money with people who were starting projects.  In order to have a goal, you need to find your passion - A lot of people ask the same question, wondering where to even begin! Evan suggests that knowing what you're passionate about is incredibly important in order to have a goal to move towards. Have a passion and chunk down on that idea.  Set realistic goals, and break them down - Pick a big goal and then set a realistic date to achieve that goal. You need to break down your goal into a doable timeline. Plan the smallest details and allocate the time required to achieve that goal. It is important to understand that there is a time for planning and there is a time for execution. Through the execution process there shouldn't be any guessing. The small details need to be focused on, that will lead to the big final result. Throughout the process it is important to stay motivated! Your greatest test will be your greatest testimony - Having been a young millennial in his mid twenties when first starting TUK capitals, Evan experienced negative stereotypes tied to his generation which proved to be an obstacle. He needed to be building rapid rapport and showcasing credibility with people a generation or two older than him. He was constantly in a state of offense to ensure he was making a name for himself and creating the brand that they were the hardest working in the industry. The obstacle led towards the greatest reward.  Learn how to expect and anticipate failure -  Evan shares that he and Jordan always talk about “failing faster”. Failing faster would allow you to get through those negative situations quickly and allow you to learn and grow through them. It is important to try and see the positive in every negative and to not be afraid of failure. No matter the industry there are always going to be bad situations. The most important thing would be how you handle those situations.   SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST HERE: APPLE PODCASTS GOOGLE PODCASTS SPOTIFY LIBSYN YOUTUBE   OKIKI RESOURCES: Need Video Content or Personal Brand Photos?

On today's show I talk with my good friend Linda Fogg-Phillips about effectively creating habits. Leveraging habits in your life, the correct way, can be so valuable to building the business and life that you truly want. Linda has developed a super simple system for creating habits that stick and have lasting impact while exerting almost no willpower.

Key Takeaways Use the ABCs of the tiny habits system to establish an anchor moment, attach a tiny behavior to that anchor, and then celebrate every successful step. Rewards do not create habits.

This week is a blast as we explore some very creative business strategies with Tony Gnau. Content marketing is a tool that Tony relies on heavily to add value to his customers while also building his credibility and drawing in new clients. We look into taking the time to audition your clients to find ones that align with your core values and then working those clients into a retainer system that creates consistent income and a mutually beneficial relationship between you and your client! Key Takeaways Use quality content marketing to set yourself up as an expert in your field and draw in quality clients. Be proactive to think about both the short term AND the long term strategy or your life and business. Use the retainer business model to create consistent income with clients you want to work with.

Let's go back to the special 300th episode featuring Mike Handcock and Landi Jac. Denis asks questions about self-discipline in today's world with lockdowns and work-from-home systems. We tackle the conditions needed for a successful organization and the importance of checking in with yourself to ensure that time is well-spent. Tune in! In this episode: Mike Handcock and Landi Jac share how COVID-19 affected their lifestyle, from traveling to being used to being home. Globally, 45% of leaders prefer to work from home, but they are 33% more effective in the office. 61% of leaders value privacy and are not finding it in the office. The concept of the open office may be a distraction. The idea of intent may be distorted now because of the work-from-home setup, making it easier to be distracted. Mike Handcock and Landi Jac discuss the idea of the white wolf and black wolf in relation to how people cope with COVID-19.  Key Takeaways: Use the time to upscale your skills, and add more value to what you do Privacy is essential for people working in the organization Work-life balance is changing - check on your intent Checking in on your self-discipline is the way to establish consistently Tweetable Quote: “In the past two years, we've noticed working from home, the incredible frustration around it because your intent gets completely muffled.” - Landi Jac Reach out to Denis: Email: denis@leadingchangepartners.com Website: http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/ (http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/)  Leadership Is Changing Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/) Leadership is Changing LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/ (https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/)

If you're feeling burned out and overwhelmed, you are not alone. Women physicians across the country have so much pressure, both in the clinical setting and at home, and it is so important that we start talking about it. Dr. Erica Howe, Physician and Founder of the Women Physicians Wellness Conference, joins me to talk about how she dropped her facade, started talking about how she's really feeling, and created something incredible for women physicians.   Key Takeaways Use your burnout and frustrations to spark conversations with other women in your workplace.  You are not alone. If you're feeling like this, other women are, too.   About Dr. Erica Howe, MD, FSHM Dr. Howe is a board-certified Hospitalist and a nationally known educator, wife, and mother to three crazy kids. As a prolific speaker and lifelong advocate for improved wellness in medicine, she has given hundreds of talks both nationally and internationally on topics like conflict management and boundary setting.   In 2018, she founded the Women Physicians Wellness Conference—a 3-day event hosted in Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Amelia Island exclusively for women physicians--as a way of bringing them together to share their struggles and their strategies for success.   She believes that women are stronger together and wants to inspire them to find the courage, clarity, and community to succeed on their own terms, instead of someone else's.   The Power of Dropping the Facade Dr. Erica Howe is one powerhouse of a woman, but it wasn't long ago that she felt burned out, overwhelmed, and frustrated. It became rote for her to say she was fine whenever a colleague asked, even though that isn't how she felt. One day, Dr. How decided to drop the facade and be honest with how she truly was. What happened next changed the course of her life. After dumping all her emotions on her colleague, her colleague replied, “me, too.” She wasn't alone; other women had the same overwhelmed frustrations and they, too, were just barely holding it together. Dr. Howe explains how she turned this Hallway of Shame into the Hallway of Strategy by talking to other women physicians. They started sharing advice on how to cope with the overwhelm, and each time this happened, Dr. Howe's mindset shifted. It was time to take action.   Creating Change Through Burnout Based on these conversations and using her extensive knowledge from working in the hospital, Dr. Howe decided that more women physicians needed to have access to these helpful words. She decided to start The Women Physicians Wellness Conference. Dr. Howe explains the process she went through starting with shame, and that hallway, to taking risks and developing a strategy to create something new. She now helps so many women work on their professional and personal goals. Dr. Howe is a great example of stepping into a new role in the face of severe burnout! Are you feeling burned out and overwhelmed? My friend, you are not alone. If you can't make it to The Women Physicians Wellness Conference, I really encourage you to start talking to the other women in your workplace about how you're feeling. Let me know in the comments on the episode page how this process goes for you!   In This Episode  What happens when you stop putting on a facade [5:30] The power of sharing your experiences with other women physicians [9:00] How to take action through thought shifts [11:30] How to use your existing knowledge to create something new [20:00] The process of embracing shame, risk, and strategy [24:00] How your leadership skills can develop out of a place of burnout [25:30]   Quotes “In that minute and thirty-seven-second walk, instead of a Hallway of Shame, I unloaded. She said two really powerful words to me at the end of my brain dump on her. ‘Me, too.' This was so powerful to me.” [6:32] “If at the end of your life, are you going to look back on this moment and say, ‘I just wish I had done it?'” [14:40] “There is something super powerful about putting an out-of-office reply in that says you are had left the country.” [17:39]   Resources Mentioned The Women Physicians Wellness Conference Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 105: Go All-In On You Episode 97: Prepare to Relax: A 6-Step Strategy Episode 64: Showing Up for Your Future Self

On this episode, Jason talks with a new JPAR Agent and natural-born leader Cynthia Hughes. Cynthia is an authentic, candid, and warm person and a successful real estate agent focused on productivity and serving others. Plus, she is a brain injury survivor who is new to real estate after rehabbing and retraining her brain to do simple math and tasks. Cynthia is a true inspiration and a role model for any real estate agent or anyone in business, management, and sales. Heck, let's just say she is one of those great humans we should all should try to be more like. Cynthia's secrets to happiness and success; be yourself, always be positive, focus on helping others, let things go, and learn the difference between busyness and productivity.   Key Takeaways - Use your words only for good and positivity. - Do the business the way you do your business. Don't let others dictate your business style and ethics. - Stay focused on being a productive and effective real estate agent, not a busy agent. - Cynthia's measure of success is whether or not you're in the service of others. - Be yourself, let things go, and train yourself to be present in the moment. - A little bit of rejection never hurt anybody. - Failing in real estate is quitting due to rejection. - To put together a great sales year, you don't have to have a ton of transactions, and you don't have to appeal to everybody.   Cynthia Hughes Says: I was a Type A. I was very demanding of people. I was way upfront. And now I take my time with people. I go by the four agreements… you're responsible for your own behavior. What people say is about them, not you. Do your best every day. What your 100% is today will be different tomorrow based on how you feel. I didn't want to waste that time being a victim. I'm not dead. I'm not in a wheelchair. People are helping me move forward, and I'm going to give it everything I have. A little bit of rejection never hurt anybody. Failure is when you hang up the phone and walk away and never pick up the phone again. I want everyone to know I was a real estate agent. My first thing, I want to help you. Number two, I'm a real estate agent. Get a conversation started and you'll wind up with friends. You think you're working for clients, but you're really making friendships.   Jason Will Says: I don't want to be somebody that contributes to this delinquency of excuses. The measure of productivity is whether or not you're in the service of others. When hiring, double down on your strengths and hire or ask for help for your weaknesses. If you truly want to be happy, then you need to be present the moment. If you want to be present the moment and be filled with gratitude and humility, you need to be intentional about it. I hear you just overflowing with this description of this industry that allows you to help and serve people every day. Help people make a lot of money, maybe help people get out of a bad investment into a great investment, helping people achieve the American dream. What we're doing is very Noble in a lot of ways.

Today, I have Blake Albertson of B&B Lawncare to discuss success, happiness, and fulfilling dreams. This guy is so freaking awesome he succeeds at an early age. Listen to him as he shares clever insights about business and life. By the way, we talk about aliens too. Sssshhhh..     Topics Covered 1:04 - Introduction to Blake Albertson 1:19 - We talk about Soccer... Who doesn't like soccer? 7:38 - I am not a priest, nor a saint but, I'd like to let you know that putting God First in my life is the best thing I've done in my existence. 9:21 - Whatever you want to do in life, live your dreams. Please do it. No one can stop you if you want to fulfill your dreams. If you want to be a painter, go and paint. If you want to be a rockstar, go and make a video and upload it on YouTube. Your life your rules. 18:21 - The definition of success is you're able to be free and do what you want to do when you want to do it. 32:21 - One thing we learned is "Nobody Cares" whether you're successful or not. Everybody is always thinking "How" they could solve their problems, and they don't care who you are. But as long as you take good care of them, that's how you bring them into your brand. 38:55 - Yeah, we talk about Aliens and shit. Haha!     Key Takeaways "Use it to your advantage of you're solving people's problems. That's it. If you never get a customer to call you, you can never get them to invest emotionally into your business. It's hard to build a brand when nobody's even knows anything about you. They don't know about your quality of work. Like the perfect customer only comes when you solve their problem initially take really really good care of them. They fall in love with you and everything you believe in and your company and your company culture. And then, that's how you bring them into your brand." - Blake Albertson.   "How are you such a positive and resourceful and responsible person that negative energy doesn't pull you down? You are so positive that negative energy dissipates in front of you, and you pull it up. You're pulling people up. You're encouraging other people, you become such a positive, radiant, vibrant alpha, that you change the energy in the room, it doesn't change you." - Keith Kalfas.     Connect with Blake Linkedin Website YouTube Facebook Instagram Connect with Keith Facebook Instagram  YouTube LinkedIn Website   Other Helpful links!

Matt Lovell, Former Data, Analytics & Insight Director at Eurostar explains how automation transformed their customer experience in the wake of the pandemic On March 13, 2020, after two years of hard work, Eurostar replaced its 50-year-old ticketing system with a modern, data-driven platform. On March 15, 2020, COVID-19 caused Eurostar's passenger numbers to crash. In this week's episode of the Business of Data Podcast, Matt Lovell, former Data, Analytics, and Insight Director at Eurostar, explains why he reprioritized his data projects to improve customer experiences as pandemic disruption hit. “At the moment all of the projects that we would normally work on are largely on hold. So, it does give you the options to do a bit of a reset, whether it's adding rigorous processes, fixing systems, or restructuring data in a way that we want it,” he says. “These are things that normally wouldn't get looked at.” Reacting to Customer Demand in Real-Time As lockdowns began, Eurostar customers needed a way to easily reschedule or cancel their journeys. Unfortunately, their voucher-based compensation system was not designed to deal with a pandemic. “That created a whole new management scenario that we hadn't necessarily planned for,” Lovell says. “There were a lot of things we had to systematically work through.” The first job, he explains, was quick to take stock of the situation and prioritize key projects. Then, the team rapidly iterated on system modifications and introduced automation designed to improve customer experiences. “We started to [ask] how we could gradually move to a point whereas much of this was automated as possible and as much of this was visible to the customer as possible.” Automating key parts of the process helped Lowell to implement a convenient system for customers to switch tickets and claim refunds online. It also proved the value of automation to the business. “The resource that was needed for us to do it manually at the beginning was so substantial,” he says. “[Now] we can build this in a way where it barely has any of that.” “Not only is that reducing the stress on the business but it's also improving the customer experience, so it's really a win-win,” he concludes. Key Takeaways Use ‘downtime' to reevaluate data priorities. If your regular projects are on hold, take the opportunity to take a fresh look at your priorities Iterate for success. Even if a system is not perfect immediately, by iterating over time you can make incremental improvements Automation can create a win-win. By making systems more efficient, data leaders can improve customer experiences and prove business value at the same time.

On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about “think time” and its impact on productivity, mindset and mental health. In these stressful times, we need think time to process what's happening in our lives and vicinity in order to protect our mental health, and be more productive. There are 4 kinds of think time: Creative, Strategic, Visionary, and Narrow/Project-based Quote for this week is by Peter F. Drucker: There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. Key Takeaways: Use think time to clear your mind, generate ideas and vision. Take time to process through emotions, interactions and information in order to think more clearly and to avoid being overwhelmed. Sometimes your most productive time is when you're planning, designing a vision and strategy. Devote your time to think time and be more productive.

Key Takeaways: Use technology to help be better, faster, and scale. It’s not intended to replace us and it certainly shouldn’t. Only humans can deliver the empathy and relationships. Marketing tactics sometimes get a bad rap — retargeting, email personalization, spam, digital advertising, and more. When the customer feels valued, these tactics work. When used incorrectly, they can be destructive. You own (part of) the CX. Poor experiences can happen anywhere throughout the buyer journey. How can you improve the touch points you can control?

Key Takeaways: Use qualitative data from your website search bar and chat log to glean insights, pick topics, and create content. Use thank you or confirmation pages to continue the customer journey.
