Tonight; I want to bring up a more serious topic, that many organization have problems with, but have no easy way to detect or even stop it.  I am talking about Narcists on the work floor.

What is narcissism?
The most straightforward explanation is that narcissist tends to think grandly of oneself, to the point of losing respect and compassion for others. It's all about them all the time. People are accessories to them, disposable means to meet their own ends.

I will talk about signs, how to recognize them, what to expect and how to deal with them

Part of the folklore about successful entrepreneurs is that they succeeded because they first failed. We, entrepreneurs, are told to "Fail fast", you'll learn valuable lessons that will help you in your next venture.

Where is this idea come from? Does it come from athletics where we rehearse and rehearse movements,  practice over time, resulting in what appears as an almost effortless success?

What is the link between Maurizo Cattelan,  the artist who duck-taped a banana on a wall, and sold it for $120.000 and Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon?

In their beginnings, neither Maurizo Cattelan, Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma and myself  were not taken seriously about our goals and projects Jack Ma has been refused 30x times applying for a job. Nobody believed in Jeff Bezos giving up his high paid wall-street job.

Most of us hear only about the successes. The $120.000 for a banana, the trillion valuations of a company. What is more interesting for me is to know how do we move from the beginning to the end? What happens in that black box, in the middle? Does some science exist, a set of rules we can implement to make our idea successful?

We all know about people who take a personal coach when they want to a career change or a sports coach. But when it comes to bankers, well I was surprised. For me, bankers aren't the first group of people that comes into my mind that needs a coach.

Bankers are managing the money of individuals; bankers never showcase they are wrong; bankers look like they know their business. That's what we hope as we trust our money with them.

and I became curious. Finally, we found the time to ask him some serious questions, to understand the world of Bankers and why they need a coach.

Let's see you if our money is safe or if the bankers are ticking timebombs.

You will hear stories, and answer to the following questions

•  When I think of bankers, and trust my money with them, I hope they know their job and keep privacy high. How does that work when they work with a coach? Do you get some crazy secret insights?

•  With your experience, how do we have to see bankers? Like employees or like entrepreneurs or ordinary salespeople?

•  What made you go into coaching for bankers, such a niche market?

• In the banking world, there are more regulations than, for example, in eCommerce. Can bankers be creative in their sales process, can bankers personalize the connection with their clients? Or is this one of the issues Bankers have and you can guide them?

• *Can you share a story, without revealing the name of the banker, of an issue they had, but with coaching, they solved it?

• How do bankers define success? And does that differ from your view on success?

• I assume you have clients worldwide? How do you market yourself? How do you make sure, bankers in the other part of the world know you exist and can use your services.

•  A direct question, if does bankers don't know how to handle their job, and need a coach to improve their performance, can we trust our money with them?

• * What books do you recommend people to read to improve themselves?

Have you ever tried to walk into a bar, go straight to a person you are attracted too and ask her or him to have sex with you? I recommend you not to try it, as you will get 100% smashed in your face.

It is the same as selling your products and services. How many times do you see people on LinkedIn, trying to connect, send you a message selling their services?

Blending together the ideas about dating in the context of selling is the idea behind this podcast, Including a personal story about one of my first startups that failed and a Giveaway

You probably heard about the idea we use only 10% of our brain? What if we can unlock 100% of our mind? Did you?

I will debunk this idea immediately. It's a myth. Fake news in words of today. We use our brain for 100%. You can find research online about these facts on Wikipedia and TedX talks.

All of us have 24h in a day, no exception. All of us have a good quality of IQ; If those parameters are the same for every normal person, something else had to be existing to jump out. That's my addiction, my fascination.

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME
Before I continue, I have to add a small "Don't try this at home" warning to my speech. [*SMILE*] Whatever I will say next, is based on my research and experience. When you decide to follow my path, please consider to do some research yourself first.

We all want high rankings on Google; we all want our business on Page 1 of the search results. This article/podcast/video will be relatively short, as I will explain to you about a grave mistake I made but gave me a big win in the end.

The mistake was related when I was running a local business, a beauty/spa business in Geneva, Switzerland.

Gift Cards are around 20% of the turn over if you do it right, so we created a beautiful, attractive new design to promote gift cards. We approved the design, we launched the printing, and I was happy and proud.
