Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Usman.In this episode, Nancy and Usman discuss the following:The transformative power of AI in B2B sales and marketingxiQ's use of generative AI, behavioral science, and chat GPT to personalize sales approachesThe evolution from pre-internet to the internet era and now to the AI eraHow AI simplifies tasks, saves time, and enhances productivityThe importance of understanding personality-driven salesKey Takeaways: AI made it so much simpler, gives one that information in seconds, and saves hours that would have been spent. What used to take me six hours out of my day has now been reduced to 30 minutes. We need to master AI. We need to make it work for us. "And we use AI to help you formulate these kinds of capabilities, bringing them into sales to personalize the sales engagement. Nobody wants to talk to somebody who doesn't know who you are, doesn't understand your problems, and cannot empathize with or relate to your actions. They're just in there to sell, and nobody's interested in that, especially in high-ticket sales. So, it becomes increasingly important to be able to find the sweet spots of the person within their personality and cater to them so you can have a better chance of winning." – USMAN"We're not a plug-in to LinkedIn, although I think we get a lot of data from LinkedIn. Think of our platform as an independent search engine; we throw a very wide net out there to collect information. So, you type in the name of a person in their company and start looking for them. You find the person by clicking on them if there is more than one. And it goes, fetches information, analyzes it, and makes a prediction call. All of it, less than three seconds." – USMAN"So, we were living in the pre-internet era. Would that be correct? I was. I saw the internet come. You did, right? And everything was paper-based. If you needed to look up a person or do some research, you had to use Encyclopedia Britannica or one of those, right? There was no Google. It was a different world. And the big brands that were there were those serving Yellow Pages and all that stuff. Those were the brands. But then came the internet age, Google and Yahoo, and now ZoomInfo and Salesforce, and all of these became tools that people used, right? And the old Yellow Pages and so on didn't translate into becoming the ZoomInfo of the business world. It was like the Yellow Pages of the business world in the pre-internet days, right? And so, two things happened. The way we did business changed. Secondly, the players that provided the technology changed as well, and the solutions changed as well. Now, we're entering the AI era. It's a big leap. So, if the internet was a thousand to the paper-based era, then AI is a hundred million to the thousand. That's the big leap, okay? Because it can crunch out this big data and make sense of it in microseconds, right? And so, it can crunch a lot of data to do that, right? Pretty much the whole internet, right? And then some. So, but you know, we as humans need to be able to access that data, that much data in a consumable manner to be interesting." – USMAN"I think not to be afraid of AI. AI provides a lot of new opportunities. So, if the audience is in sales or any business, use AI to discover new opportunities. Everybody who's going to use AI will realize that it can create a lot of new worlds. As a matter of fact, what McKinsey is quoting in terms of generative AI creating net new value for sales is $1.4 trillion a year in sales productivity. That's a lot, right? That's a huge amount. So, that's the opportunity. And as a result of that, Nancy, the way we used to sell, traditional sellers used to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt. And here we have a chance to move away from that selling into more selling hope and opportunity because there's a lot of hope and opportunity with what we can do with AI." – USMANConnect with Usman Sheikh:LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/usmanmsheikh/xiQ, Inc: https://xiqinc.com/Try Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/ Connect with Nancy Calabrese: Twitter:https://twitter.com/oneofakindsalesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/Website:https://oneofakindsales.comPhone: 908-879-2911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com

Craig Wright, author of The Hidden Habits of Genius, explores the patterns and habits behind history's greatest minds, discussing curiosity, risk-taking, and why genius doesn't always equate to happiness.If you've enjoyed Talking to Teens, we'd love if you could leave us a five-star rating, and if you have time, a review! Full Show NotesRaising a teenager comes with its unique set of challenges, and one of the most daunting tasks for any parent, teacher, or guardian is nurturing the inherent potential within each young adult. Whether it's about encouraging academic excellence, supporting extracurricular passions, or simply guiding them through the trials of adolescence, the aim is often the same—to help them excel and perhaps, uncover a touch of genius along the way.But what really makes a genius? Is it an IQ score that soars off the charts, an unyielding talent in arts, or perhaps something deeper, something nestled within the folds of daily habits and choices? This week on Talking to Teens, we are thrilled to welcome Craig Wright, a Professor Emeritus from Yale and the esteemed author of The Hidden Habits of Genius: Beyond Talent, IQ, and Grit. Unlocking the Secrets of Greatness. With years of experience and research backed by travels across the globe to study history's most remarkable minds, Craig brings a new perspective on what truly cultivates greatness.Craig offers a fascinating breakdown of what defines genius, rebuking the traditional confinements of IQ scores and talents as sole indicators of a masterful mind. Instead, he introduces us to the equation G = S * D (Genius = Significance * Duration), opening a dialogue on how significance and duration play into the legacies of known geniuses and how these metrics can apply to our understanding of achievement and brilliance.Curiosity Over ScoresCraig emphasizes the paramount importance of curiosity and broad interests as foundational elements of genius. The quest for knowledge and the eagerness to engage deeply with various topics can often outweigh the benefits of scoring perfectly on standard tests or focusing solely on specialized subjects. He argues that the SATs and academic grades, while important, should not be the be-all and end-all of a teenager's development.Embrace Risk and Learn from FailureThe discussion delves into the idea that true geniuses are not only risk-takers but also individuals who see failure as a springboard for further exploration and discovery. Craig shares insights on how geniuses, despite their unparalleled contributions to humanity, often lead tumultuous personal lives, suggesting a degree of self-centrality required to push the boundaries of convention. Yet, it's this very ability to confront the unknown and recover from setbacks that fuel innovation and exceptional achievement.Cultivating Genius at HomeFor parents, the goal isn't to mould their children into the next Einstein or Da Vinci forcibly but to encourage an environment where learning, curiosity, and resilience are valued above all. Craig provides practical advice for fostering a safe space for intellectual exploration, emphasizing the importance of allowing teens the freedom to pursue their interests widely.Nurturing Tomorrow's InnovatorsIn a world where specialization and immediate gratification often overshadow the virtues of patience and exploration, Craig's insights are a refreshing reminder of the values that truly nurture greatness. He advocates for a broader educational experience—encouraging teens to immerse themselves in liberal arts and humanities to develop empathy, critical thinking, and a broader understanding of the world.In this Episode...Join us as we discuss more hidden habits of genius, touching upon:The importance of moving and exposure to cultural epicentersThe distinction between prodigies and geniusesStrategies for improving concentration and productivityThe role of constraints in fostering creativityDon't miss this enlightening conversation with Craig Wright and discover how you can support the teens in your life in unlocking their potential for greatness. Who knows? The journey might just reveal a budding genius ready to change the world.Listen to the episode now, and don't forget to subscribe to Talking to Teens for more insights and strategies on navigating the complexities of teen parenting.Follow us on Social Media!

For the transcript for this episode, visit http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.ukSubscribe to the podcastToday, I dive into the importance of setting up systems to make dehoarding easier and less resistant. We'll discuss how examining the structure of our lives can help us determine what can be done to make the decluttering process more manageable. Plus, we'll explore the concept of choosing realistic timings that fit with our individual lifestyles for successful decluttering. We'll also explore the idea that the path of least resistance is often seen as negative, implying that someone isn't trying hard enough. In the realm of dealing with hoarding, however, the path of least resistance can be a gift. I'll explain how taking this approach doesn't mean avoiding challenges altogether, but rather making the overwhelming task of decluttering more manageable. Join me as I navigate the intricate world of compulsive hoarding, exploring the strategies and mindsets that can help us overcome this challenge. Get ready to uncover the path of least resistance.Choosing the simplest option to overcome challengesUncertainty, struggle, progress in dealing with tasksCreate a system to enable donating itemsOvercome barriers and get things outSimplify decisions, prioritise, and start somewhereGuidelines and formulasConfidence and small stepsChoose the easiest option to start moving.

Mental Toughness Mastery Podcast with Sheryl Kline, M.A. CHPC
https://www.sherylkline.com/blog/hello-2023-exciting-newsHappy New Year!I am incredibly optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead for women in leadership for 2023. With all the uncertainty with in economy, lay-offs, weather (as I watch the 20 waves in here in California), there is tremendous opportunity to rise while others speculate or are fearful of the ‘what ifs'. You are limitless, remember?:) Despite everything going on around you. For some, it's been a very difficult time, and it's with incredible respect and gratitude that I have for you to keep showing up and inching forward towards a better day. Take comfort in knowing that there is a proven process to help.For others, opportunity has knocked, and you've opened the door wide open! You've raised your hand, and the universe has answered in a big way! Here are a few facts that I know and many that I didn't know until I went to my husband's dear friend, @Tiffany Shlain's opening exhibit at @Shack15 in San Francisco. Women have been in power since the beginning of time (at least since 50,000 BCE when goddesses were worshipped), suffered unthinkable setbacks, persevered, and kept going despite challenges. Yes, the experience has been and can be much different for those further marginalized within our gender. The thing is, we'll need the support of our leadership, so they can make changes from the top down and provide an environment for everyBODY to feel safe, seen, and valued therefore being as innovative and productive as possible.In the last dozen years, here's what I've witnessed that helps make this happen: Becoming crystal clear on what's next for your legacy .Developing emotional agility under pressureLearning FBI negotiation strategies to gain buy-in from leadershipManaging the Mindset and Habits of team/self during disruptive times to sustain motivation and productivityThe above topics are meant to support a philosophy that I have… that it's time for women to return to power, to become even greater agents of change for the greater good of our cultures, companies, and ultimately the world. Do you or your team want to step into power in 2023 even more? If so, there is nothing more that would bring me joy than to be your guide, so you or your team can be the heroes this year. The fantastic news is that the Limitless Leader coaching team is growing, so there are more ways we can help.It is with excitement and tremendous gratitude I share that Stephanie Barros is joining my coaching team! She has over 25 years of experience and specializes in working with emerging leaders. You can read more about Stephanie's amazing experience and impactful work here.If we can share a proven process via 1:1 coaching, a one-day intensive, team training, off-site, or speaking, we'd love to be your guide, so you and your teams can be their best in 2023 at a time when your leadership has never been needed more.If so, you can schedule a time with me, and we'll map out a plan, together.Cheering you on always,Sheryl

As a leader, it's important to be aware of your own emotions and how they affect your team. Noble Gibbens can help you become a more effective leader by teaching you how to use emotional intelligence.Emotional intelligence (EI) is the capacity to be aware of and manage one's own emotions, and the emotions of others. It has been shown that emotional intelligence can be a predictor of success in life, and leaders with high emotional intelligence have been shown to be more effective than those without it. There are many different ways to develop and improve emotional intelligence, but one way is through training and education. Noble Gibbens offers courses that teach emotional intelligence and how it can be used to become a more effective leader. These courses can help you learn about yourself and others, and how to manage emotions in a way that leads to positive outcomes.In This EpisodeMilitary leadership and emotional intelligenceEmotional health and spiritualityThe impact of not having self-awareness of our own emotionsThree steps to improving your emotional intelligenceHow emotional intelligence can reduce turnover, improve employee engagement, and increase productivityThe impact that strong emotional intelligence skills has on your entire lifeNoble Gibbens, the EQ GangsterNoble Gibbens is a veteran of the U.S. Army and graduated from West Point. Earning the coveted Ranger tab, Noble is no stranger to leadership, excellence, and working with teams.How did Noble become an expert on emotional intelligence and help leaders around the world do the same? It was his own need that drove his growth. Addicted to people-pleasing, Noble found himself in a rut working within a toxic work environment. His lack of emotional intelligence was taking a toll on his marriage and family.Dedicating himself to gaining more self-awareness on emotions and interpersonal relationships, Noble acquired certifications and expertise to be able to pay it forward as an executive coach. Through emotional intelligence, we can improve every area of our lives, and Noble helps teams do that.Noble also loves tacos and enjoys snowboarding with his family.See the full show notes at BeyondTheRut.com/326Host your podcast on Buzzsprout using this link, and you will get great service plus a $20 Amazon gift card if you sign up for one of their paid plans.

What if spending a few minutes each day touching a plant or staring into space could change your life? Paloma Medina has seen it happen—and tells us why it's the first step toward radical, equitable change. Paloma Medina is a management trainer, public speaker, coach, and entrepreneur who uses neuropsychology to help leaders develop more inclusive and equitable practices. She joins us to talk about trading cortisol addiction for life-affirming productivity, the power of tracking equity metrics on your team, and why she recommends everyone spend 5 minutes a day doing nothing.Inclusion is a sense of belonging. It is how we pick up signals from others that we are valued, liked, that we belong. That we have friends, that we've got people on our side. A ton of the work that I did in the beginning in researching equity and inclusion and how it intersected with the kind of manager trainer I could be was realizing there is all this neuropsychological research that shows that belonging is this absolute core need. Humans are wired to scan for it, protect it, and freak out fully if there's any threat to their inclusion.—Paloma Medina, management trainerWe talk about:How the neuropsychology of productivity relates to equity and inclusionHow to transition away from hustle culture and into life-affirming productivityThe difference between equity and inclusion How leadership can use the three E's of professional development to combat bias in the workplace: education, exposure, and experience How closing down Paloma's retail store, 11:11 Supply, helped her find a renewed sense of self-worth in the midst of uncertaintyThe power and protest of doing nothingThe BICEPS model of core needsPlus: in this week's You've Got This, Sara shares a post from Desiree Adaway on the connection between overwork and white supremacy: “White supremacy knows that when we're exhausted, we remain obedient.

This week’s interview is with productivity expert, Matthew Gaddy. As a fellow time management nerd, I anticipated (and looked forward to) getting into the weeds on all things productivity - but there was so much more. Packed with tons of great tips this conversation also takes some unexpected twists that challenged how I thought about my time. As a husband, dad and entrepreneur, Matthew shares keen insight into common traps we all fall into, but more importantly, simple steps to get out. From managing stress and overwhelm to starting your day and making “me time”, I think you’ll take away some valuable insight from what I hope you will find to be a productive episode. Some of what we cover includes:Study habits for all of usStarting early and making “Me Time”Giving yourself grace4 cornerstones of a good morning routineDefining productivity and boundariesThe core principles of productivityThe most important hour of your dayBalancing High Performance HappinessBeing overwhelmed and how to manage itThe magic of microstepsHow to define a good weekBurnout and the importance of self-careGUEST BIO: Michael GaddyMatthew Gaddy has been a student of productivity for over 8 years. His journey started in college with the desire to learn how to study effectively and get good grades. This first venture into learning about effective actions, goal setting and increasing productivity carried over into his first job working for the largest utility in Texas.In this position, Matthew saw the need for productivity coaching, not as a way to add more to already crammed days, but to teach others how to identify the goals they want to achieve, select and prioritize the steps to achieve them, plan days that supported their productivity, and execute their actions to their best ability.Matthew is on a mission not only to help engineers become more productive but to also do so in a way that lessens stress and fosters an environment to produce high-quality work.

I love meeting people who make me think. David Burkus is one such person.He's the author of 5 best-selling books that all aim to do one thing in common: help leaders and teams do their best work ever.Like my previous guest Liz Wiseman, he is ranked as one of the world’s top business thought leaders by Thinkers50.
