“Does anyone have a question so far? No? Does everyone understand? Ok, let’s move on.” I am sure you have been in a meeting or discussion with your team and when the discussion pauses to open the floor to any questions, everyone seems to understand and the discussion moves on. As soon as the meeting is concluded and people start leaving the meeting room, questions about what was discussed surfaces in conversation on the way back to their respective work desks. Logically speaking, why aren’t these questions raised during the meeting where time was allocated to collectively remove doubts that may exist? Sometimes you hold back asking questions either through verbal or written communication at the workplace. This episode explores the various reasons and the impact of not practising inquiry effectively. Overcoming these unsound habitual practices is possible. Tune in to learn how. If you like this episode, tune in weekly for more real-life challenges that you may be facing and how we can hack our behaviour and change our perspective to bring positive change into our daily lives.

040 | Amy Selbach and Overcoming 300 NO’s in ONE Year Amy Selbach is a brand and sales strategist, entrepreneur and mother to a toddler (her favorite role of all). She has traveled to over 65 countries for both work and play, usually a combo. She started negotiating at 2 years-old (later bedtimes and more snacks) and ended up selling millions of dollars in sponsorship deals to international governments and CEOs. She has lived and worked in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe devising marketing and communications brand strategies for both countries and companies from non-profits to Fortune 500s. Have you ever had to tell a potential client or customer NO? Does the thought of it have you biting your nails? Don’t fret! In this episode, Amy Selbach shares her experiences with her first sales job. Amy traveled all over the world, pitching big important people, hearing NO after NO (over 300 in one year), but, yet her most devastating NO was when she had to tell her clients, customers and employees NO. When your clients and customers hear NO from you, their reaction might be a little different then what you’d expect. Many times you might experience some serious blow back!
