"Great things happen to those who don't stop believing, trying, learning, and being grateful." ― Roy T. Bennett

YouTube:

Check Out These Highlights: 

I chose this quote today because I loved the four words Roy used to articulate his message: believing, trying, learning, and being grateful. Wow, that is a powerful set of four words we should live by. 

You may have a mindset issue if you don’t believe in yourself, your community, your family, or your work team. 

Showing up and committing to doing your best daily is all we can ask of ourselves and the people around us. I often teach that we are dying slowly if we aren’t learning and growing each day! The last word is grateful. Well, I feel that there isn’t enough gratitude in the world. We choose to see what we lack rather than all the blessings we have. I don’t believe this skill is easy to develop and maintain. It requires effort, commitment, and work. 

 Would you like to learn how to use your mind to shape your perception and change your life through practical positivity and science-backed mindset practices? If you answered yes, today is a good day to listen to the show.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Oprah Winfrey, “Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." I network a lot and meet a ton of new people each week.  I feel like no matter the networking platform, there seems to be more and more conversations around mindset, skillset, and get off your asset.  I love the idea of using these three frames of reference. 

First, I have done a bunch of internal work on myself, building a healthy mindset and yes it takes effort but so worth it.  Second, the skill set, I consider myself a lifelong learner, because I feel like if I don’t keep learning and growing myself and my skills, I will start to shrivel up and die…lol!  That was very dramatic!  The last one, “get off your asset,” is my favorite.  All the inner work, learning, and change we create in our life is nothing if we can’t put it into practice and use these changes to form the life we desire.  Applying all three is how we can literally create magic in our lives by creating actual, tangible results through that application!

“Be the leader you wish you had.” – Simon Sinek. When I found this quote, I laughed.  During my 20 years in corporate, I only had one boss I respected and trusted.  I find that sad when I had over 10 people I reported to during those two decades. 

I have learned that charisma is not necessary to be an effective leader. What truly matters is your ability to inspire hope, instill confidence, and demonstrate a clear vision for overcoming obstacles. That’s exactly what that one boss did for me and our executive team.

Join us as we explore practical strategies and personal insights to help you develop and enhance these critical leadership skills.

“Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, “Make me feel important.” Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.” – Mary Kay Ash. If you have been following me or my shows for a while, you know that this quote is an excellent representation of how I lived my sales and business career. 

I remember that, early on in my career, my manager once said to me, “Have you ever met a person you didn’t like?”  I was taken aback because no matter who I met internally within the company or externally with my COIs and clients, I truly liked everyone I met.  I think it’s because I didn’t judge. Instead, I was always curious about who the person was, what the situation they were trying to fix or address, and how I might be able to help.

Accountability To Improve Sales Success with Connie Whitman (episode 365)

"Accountability, the ability of people to understand what is expected of them, exercise authority, and take responsibility for delivering results, is an important dimension of organizational health." – Michael Bazigos

What does accountability mean to you?

I remember my first client from 25 years ago. We were creating a dynamic client journey culture focusing on being a community partner, new business development, and career growth within the company.

After 2 years of working to build this culture, we were approaching the end of my work with them. During the two years, we created rinse-and-repeat sales and business development processes. We implemented tools to measure and reports for leaders to evaluate and leverage for effective coaching conversations.

I met with the COO to discuss how he could continue to support the momentum and changes we had made in his marketplace using clear goals, coaching, and other measurements that his managers had embraced and loved using.  He looked at me and said, “Well, I’m not going to assign goals because then we become pushy salespeople versus customer service.”

Listen to the show to see how my crazy story ends!
