  Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by Socrates  "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” When you hear the word change, what do you immediately feel?  Fear, excitement, uncertainty, all of the above?  Why is it when someone tells us that something is changing, in our work environment, we typically will feel like our stomach is in a knot?    The word change at work usually evokes a certain level of panic before we feel or see the possible opportunities that lie within.  We are human and measure this new change based on the discomfort we have felt in the past.  Is there a way for us to breath first and not panic? Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Natasha Todorovic-Cowan.  Whether it is resistance to change, cultures in conflict, or dysfunctional teams, Natasha's expertise includes unraveling people’s messes from C-suite to shop floor.

  Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by Benjamin Franklin  "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” Have you ever wanted to write a book?  What would the topic be and the content within?  Wouldn't be exciting to be published and see your book in Barnes & Noble and on Amazon? Holy Crap that would be so cool right?  So why haven't you written your masterpiece?  Is it because you have nowhere to begin?  Statistics show that 81% of Americans (about 200 million people) say they have a book in them and less than 10% actually write one.  Kind of sad!

Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Heidi Anderson. Heidi is going to share her experience of leaving the corporate world for other opportunities.

Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by Misha.at "Networking is not collecting contacts!

Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by Stephen Covey "An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success.” Would you call yourself a leader who empowers or micromanages your team?  Do you trust that your people understand the organizational strategies and are able to put the strategies into practice?  Micromanaging is dangerous and ineffective, yet so many leaders fear letting go of control and empower their teams.

Connie’s quote today is by ~ Brian Tracy Approach each customer with the idea of helping him or her solve a problem or achieve a goal, not selling a product or service. How do you feel when you are helping a client improve their situation for the better? It feels good? Right? So why when we say we need to sell new options to clients who need our service we start to feel icky and uncomfortable? What's the difference? The only difference in my two sentences is the word sales. Like Brian Tracy said in my quote, helping each customer with the idea of selling to solve a problem is always the goal. It's our responsibility as salespeople to help educate people as to the options available to help their situation!
