Storied Coaching with Aaron J. Jacobs

Do you often feel "at the mercy" of your calendar each day?

Do you dread hearing the chime of your next appointment because you doubt if it is important enough to do?

So many people feel this way.

The good news is that you don't have to put up with this anymore.

In today's episode, I share my time management process for low-stress, high results for my calendar each week.

Once you follow my process, you will start loving the results and have more free time to do what you love.

Your personal and professional life priorities will be clear, aligned, and simple to follow.

You might actually (GASP) start liking your calendar instead of being a slave to it.

Big stories often have big, audacious goals attached to them.

That is a fantastic thing.

You are building your new future self, and that takes time.

However, it can get easy (way too easy) to forget to stop and look around occasionally on your Hero's Journey.

That small step that you just took is worthy of celebration.

It will refuel you as your look to the next steps.

Many think stopping and taking a moment of gratitude will slow you down…

However, it does the EXACT opposite.

It will propel you, much like a fly-wheel, even faster and more joyfully towards your next step towards your goal.

Listen in this week as I show you how to do this and how it is an essential skill to practice to avoid burnout.

Have you ever found a mentor by accident?

I found one of mine at CrossFit several years ago.

Don King is the kind of human that expects excellence from himself and magnetically inspires those in his orbit to follow his example.

I was initially confused when I learned he was a successful sales leader.

His humility and approach seemed so opposite of the typical aggressive sales stereotype.

How could he have such a storied sales career, and what can he teach us about being a better human AND excelling in sales situations?

If you need to sell more things but want to do it in an empathetic, authentic, more human way, you will fall in love this week with Don King.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

We are storytelling creatures.

Across cultures, geographies, and time, we learn and convey information best through stories.

So why do so many people forget this when they are selling?

Well, this week, I am going to help you fix that.

I am showing you the potent types of stories you can tell when you instantly want your audience's attention in a sales situation.

There are three types of stories to tell that will tease your audiences' brain and trigger a positive, limbic response (aka get their attention)

This is going to be a game-changer for you. It works like magic.

Two weeks ago, I felt stuck.

It's happened to all of us.

One moment you are on sure footing, and the story unfolds as you thought it would.

And then the story changes.

You get mad, blame, and wonder what you are supposed to do next.

So I decided to shift my story by creating a perspective change.

Listen to what I did and how you can change a story you no longer want to be in.

Sometimes perspective is just the thing you need to see clearly.

The story you want to step into is closer to you than you think.

Have you had a Zoom Jammies Moment?

That moment when you think, "When did sweatpants become my remote working uniform?"

Pssst….the answer is probably during the Pandemic.

It's o.k.; we will get through this because Style Coach extraordinaire Judith Gaton is joining us this week to help us re-invent and embrace our unique style.

This is such a fun conversation; you will learn, laugh and find inspiration for applying STYLE to what you wear and how you live.
