Connie‘s motivational quotes today is by ~ Jackie Joyner-Kersee "Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind" America's population is aging.

Connie’s motivational quote today is by ~ William Clement Stone "Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the sales person, not the attitude of the prospect." Would you agree that for every business, sales is a key component to the success or demise of the organization?  Yes, other things like marketing, internal processes, compliance, manufacturing, etc. are all critical too. The thing is, if your sales people can't deliver the message effectively, and develop relationships with the decision makers or buyers, all the other departments just don't matter. So why are people afraid or ineffective when it comes to sales conversations? Would you be surprised to learn that there is a physiological component to every sales conversation?

Connie's quote today is by ~ Paulo Cohelho "Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible.Learning is making it possible for yourself." Now more than ever, education has become the gateway to success. It broadens not only our knowledge but also HOW we think. Over the last several decades, the educational process has gone through its own metamorphosis changing from how we teach, to how we measure student growth, and learning. With that said, we are not teaching our kids how to cope, teenage suicide is at an all time high, and parents and teachers alike, are at a loss as to how to reach young students and empower them to love learning so they can become life long learners, discoverers and excited about new ideas. So why is education about testing results and not about the heart of a child's learning? Today your host, Connie Whitman, speak with Natalie Ledwell.

Connie’s Motivational quote today is by Judith Martin "The whole country wants civility. Why don’t we have it? It doesn’t cost anything. No federal funding, no legislation is involved. One answer is the unwillingness to restrain oneself. Everybody wants other people to be polite to them, but they want the freedom of not having to be polite to others."

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by ~ William Arthur Ward "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." Leadership, or lack there of, seems to be a big topic in organizations around the world lately. There is so much information about good leadership versus bad, yet most leaders struggle in penetrating their corporation's cultures to change to a quality driven leadership culture. Why?

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by ~ Joy J. Golliver "The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away." What is your life purpose that will fill you with joy and happiness? If you have no idea, you are not alone. So how do we go about finding our purpose, our joy, and our path? I think the more important question is do we find it or does it find us? Inc. Magazine published an article a few years back (by Shelly Prevost): 5 Reasons Why Most People Never Discover Their Purpose. Here are the five reasons: You live from the outside in, not the inside out. You look for a career before you listen for a calling. You hate silence.
