This week's episode is a re-release of an amazing interview with Killer Pitch Master, Precious Williams, from the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Archives. Precious, known as the “Pitch Queen”, reveals her secret weapon and thoughts on knowing when you are seated at the wrong table. Precious has insights into packaging, positioning, and pitching. No one puts it quite like Precious does. If you want to be successful in any endeavour, get a copy of Precious's new book, Rainmaking 101, From Day 1. This discussion is fast-paced; you don't want to miss a minute.   In this episode: [00:23] Introduction of the “Pitch Queen”. Precious describes her tumultuous childhood and the ups and downs that positioned her to be where she is today.  [07:48] Where do you turn when you don't have someone encouraging you, and how do you know your place within a group?  [13:35] Precious discusses when her backstory is appropriate to share and when it is not. She outlines the different media she has mastered.  [20:25] Precious shares her take on pitching and taking an interest in others.  [24:34] Precious discusses whether somebody can learn a talent or are you born with it and what about being a visionary?  [29:19] What is real entrepreneurship? Precious discusses her new book, Rainmaking 101 From Day 1.    Key Takeaways:  Precious's story proves positively that you can make it from any background, and even after failing, you can come back stronger than the first time. Often the language you use describing a situation or a product makes the difference in how successful it is. Elevate the conversation, elevate the terminology. Don't take no for an answer if you are determined to be accomplished and recognized in any field. Failure is not the end of a goal. Instead, it is a stepping stone towards accomplishment.   Quotes:   “I just have to say to you at this moment; I receive your compliment. Because many of us as women can't accept a compliment. I need to receive what you just said because it's a testament to my grandmother.  It's a testament to my higher power.” – Precious Williams. “I had to go where I was celebrated, not tolerated. Also, if I'm not invited to the table, understand that rejection is the ultimate protection. There are some places you don't need to be, and if you're constantly fighting to be seen in certain groups, maybe that's the group you shouldn't be in.” – Precious Williams.   Useful Links Precious: Precious Williams – Linkedin Precious Williams – Instagram Rainmaking 101 – From Day 1 – The Book The Dames – 6, 7 and 8 Figure Business Community Jessica: The Six Elements of a Seven Figure Business – Free Download Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Download the entire Seven Figure Consultant mini-season Submit your questions for this season's Q&A episode Jessica's LinkedIn   Guest Bio:  Precious L.

Chris Schembra is a values driven, heart led author and keynote speaker on a mission to cure the epidemic of loneliness and the crisis of disconnection in the modern workplace. Drawing on hard-hitting statistics, he shines a light on the wide-ranging impact this problem has on employee wellbeing, engagement, and the overall success of organizations. Through his experience helping spark over 500,000 co-worker relationships in the workplace, Schembra has come to understand that the macro level widespread disconnection is a symptom of a lack of deep human connection. It's this very void that amplifies burnout, exacerbates mental health challenges, and cripples employee engagement in today's organizations. Through his 8 years of work building team building and client engagement programs, he's observed that leaders and their teams may interact on a superficial level but are not genuinely connected to themselves, their co-workers, their customers, or their larger communities. Schembra teaches how to make a shift towards authenticity and deeper human relationships as a means to combat this issue and achieve outsized business results. To tackle disconnection, Schembra presents a 3-step method for connection. This approach involves bringing employees into the present moment to acknowledge their humanity, diving into the past, while teaching them to express and receive authentic gratitude. He then guides them to approach the future with curiosity, questions, empathy, and inquisitiveness. This proven method, outlined in his Gratitude Experiences, transforms the method that employees interact and perceive their work. By solving the disconnection issue, Schembra shows that the benefits are profound. It's not just about personal growth; it also results in a heightened level of engagement and productivity in the workplace. He provides compelling research and statistics, such as the significant return on investment (ROI) in emotional well-being and the role of gratitude in boosting commitment and effort among employees. ---------------------------------------- This show is sponsored by Leopard Solutions Legal Intelligence Suite of products, Firmscape, and Leopard BI. Push ahead of the pack with the power of Leopard. For a free demo, visit this link: https://www.leopardsolutions.com/index.php/request-a-demo/ Links: www.chrisschembra.com https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h-G0Jwd0zM77155Enm5lOwTptu4bHWjJQOtMLIXWlt4/edit?usp=sharing

Are you struggling to manifest what you desire in your life? Perhaps it's a level of success, a lifestyle, a house, a family, a lover, a way of being, that you strive and wish and dream for, but your goal seems to lie just outside your reach? The need for rain and the obstacle of drought may be seen as an analogy to this universal struggle. Rainmaking, an important cultural tradition for Indigenous people around the world, is a beautiful solution that we can learn to symbolically practice in our own lives. "Many Tribes on Native American reservations throughout the U.S. continue to practice rainmaking. For example, the Ohlone, Lakota and Cherokee, all practice a ⁠rain dance⁠ to bring life to the earth. Other times, the dance is done to bring cleansing and renew peoples' connection to the earth. Today, these dances continue to serve as a form of prayer – an invitation or a request for life-giving rain to come back to the land, especially in areas where droughts are common. Water is life, and without it the people would not be nourished, the plants would not grow and the animals would not thrive. ~ Tristan Picotte from Partnership with Native Americans This conversation is about bringing the cleansing practice of rainmaking into our lives to allow Nature/the Universe/God/the Divine/Source to help us co-create our dreams. "In order to co-create with nature, we have to clear all the things that are preventing us from allowing what we want to happen come in."

Precious, known as the “Pitch Queen”, reveals her secret weapon and thoughts on knowing when you are seated at the wrong table. Precious has insights into packaging, positioning, and pitching. No one puts it quite like Precious does. If you want to be successful in any endeavor, get a copy of Precious's new book, Rainmaking 101, From Day 1. This discussion is fast-paced; you don't want to miss a minute. In this episode: [00:23] Introduction of the “Pitch Queen”. Precious describes her tumultuous childhood and the ups and downs that positioned her to be where she is today.  [07:48] Where do you turn when you don't have someone encouraging you, and how do you know your place within a group?  [13:35] Precious discusses when her backstory is appropriate to share and when it is not. She outlines the different media she has mastered.  [20:25] Precious shares her take on pitching and taking an interest in others.  [24:34] Precious discusses whether somebody can learn a talent or are you born with it and what about being a visionary?  [29:19] What is real entrepreneurship? Precious discusses her new book, Rainmaking 101 From Day 1.  Key Takeaways:  Precious's story proves positively that you can make it from any background, and even after failing, you can come back stronger than the first time. Often the language you use describing a situation or a product makes the difference in how successful it is. Elevate the conversation, elevate the terminology. Don't take no for an answer if you are determined to be accomplished and recognized in any field. Failure is not the end of a goal. Instead, it is a stepping stone towards accomplishment. Quotes:   “I just have to say to you at this moment; I receive your compliment. Because many of us as women can't accept a compliment. I need to receive what you just said because it's a testament to my grandmother.  It's a testament to my higher power.” - Precious Williams. “I had to go where I was celebrated, not tolerated. Also, if I'm not invited to the table, understand that rejection is the ultimate protection. There are some places you don't need to be, and if you're constantly fighting to be seen in certain groups, maybe that's the group you shouldn't be in.” - Precious Williams. Guest Bio:  Precious L.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Liz Wendling discuss:Removing your blinders to move forward in business. The biggest mistakes lawyers make in growing their firm. Making a difference in the first 30 seconds of an intake call. The process to make the client confident and comfortable in you.  Key Takeaways:When you do everything well in a conversation, the close will happen naturally (but, yes, you may still have to ask for it). There is always selling involved. If you are in business, you need to sell to stay in business. Gather information and make the conversation about the prospective client and less about you and your firm. You have to set up the close from the beginning. You can't expect to hit a perfect hole if you don't set the tee up correctly at the start. "If you sound like everyone else, then they make a decision based on the lowest retainer. Differentiation begins in the first few moments of consultation by skipping the superficial crap that people still use. There is a better way and it starts with ‘before we get started.'" —  Liz Wendling Connect with Liz Wendling:  Website: https://www.therainmakingcoach.com/Books: https://www.therainmakingcoach.com/lizs-book/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizwendling/Twitter: https://twitter.com/lizwendling4Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/insightbusinessconsultantsFind out more about Liz's Secret Shopper Offer: https://www.therainmakingcoach.com/law-firm-secret-shopping/ Thank you to our Sponsors!Legalese Marketing: https://legaleasemarketing.com/Moneypenny: https://www.moneypenny.com/us/Practice Panther: https://www.practicepanther.com/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: The Ambitious Attorney: Your Guide to Doubling or Even Tripling Your Book of Business and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911  Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.  You're the expert.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Rainmaking, published by WalterL on July 12, 2022 on LessWrong. There is an old TV show called 'The Wire', and in it a con artist fleeces a mark. The mark's friend tries to wake him up, whereupon the mark insists that the con artist has helped him. The mark's friend tells him to 'wake up, he rain-made you!' "What?" "A guy says if you pay him, he can make it rain. You pay him. If and when it rains, he takes the credit. If and when it doesn't, he finds reasons for you to pay him more." This is a neat tv show moment, to be sure, but it is also a pattern that you will find everywhere in the corporate world. A given product has a few devs, who do the work, a few bosses, who fire devs that suck, and a squad of rainmakers who mess around on their phones. They are called Security Consultants, Architects, Scrum Masters... but what they all have in common is the same thing that an old saying recites about political doctrines. They can never fail, only be failed. Paying security guys doesn't stop you from getting hacked. Paying trainers doesn't stop you from getting sued. There is, in fact, no world state that can ever indicate that paying one of these folks was a mistake. Either their flag is checked, in which case all is well, or it is not, in which case they need more resources. Lesswrongers will be familiar with the old concept of 'make your beliefs pay rent'. It is terrifying how rare basic comprehension of this notion is in the organizations we depend upon. People will accept unfalsifiable axioms as doctrine without the slightest qualm, and then you are gritting your teeth through another round of exercises. They trade upon the credit earned by the few legitimate practitioners of their occupations, who genuinely do consult on security or master scrums. It can be hard to tell the two apart, to grok whether your rainmaker is toting a cloud seeder or thoughts and prayers. The only thing I've ever seen work was essentially formalizing the above. Have everyone give 'failure statements' of the form "I will have failed if at time X Y measurable statement is true" and look at the nature of the statements. Productive people's will be about their contribution, rainmakers will talk about the weather. Thanks for listening.

CROP CIRCLES & CLOUD BUSTING: weather manipulation, geoengineering, cloud seeding, chem trails, ley lines & more   Hello, Eavesdroppers! What is going on this week? So much random stuff it's exploding our brains, so here's a little pick-n-mix of what's inside this week's Eavesdroppin' box of chocolates…   Do you think that weather can be engineered? We thought NO, but it turns out it's been happening for A VERY LONG TIME. This week Geordie chats about weather modification, cloud seeding, biological warfare, the 2008 Olympic opening ceremony in China, rainmakers, geoengineering, Kate Bush, Wilhelm Reich and the orgasmatron, climate-change deniers and so much more.   Michelle follows with a badly investigoogled natter about crop circles, hoaxers, how you can spot a man-made crop circle versus one made by aliens, ley lines, GEORGE W BUSH (not his dad!), SIGNS with Mel Gibson, time travellers, crop-circle hoaxers Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, Dr Horace Drew and more…   What does it all mean? Is any of it real? We really have no clue but get Eavesdroppin' to hear ditties, Geordie say ‘poop circle' and 2 birds yakkin.
