015 How to Create More Impact – Martin Brooks
Impact. It's what makes the best communicators and executives so effective. Is it possible for you and I to learn the same skills that allow world leaders, politicians and business moguls to win over hearts and minds in order to advance our careers, scale our businesses or close that next big deal? It is entirely possible, and these skills can be learned and put to use by even the shyest employee.
Martin Brooks has over three decades of experience working in every aspect of sales and has spent the last six years running his own training consultancy. Martin is known as the “Impactologist,” studying how human beings can create more impact through verbal and nonverbal communication.
In this episode, Martin discusses the traits and habits of some of the world’s best communicators, why it’s worth the time and effort to hone our communication skills to create more impact, and how even the most introverted people can become as captivating and persuasive as their more outgoing counterparts with a little practice.

TWEETABLES:
“The big difference between business and sport is that in business there’s no prize for coming second.”
“There isn’t a magic ingredient to what he’s doing, there’s no pixie dust, there’s nothing ethereal. It’s actually measurable behavioral things.”
“Impact is not something that’s preserved for the privileged few. It’s something that ordinary people can learn and use to their advantage.”
“Without the confidence, we can know what to do and have that in our heads but not actually have the courage to step up and say it.”
