We don't place enough value on the art of leaving voicemails. Many times, this is the first impression you make on someone. And this is 100x more important when seeking employment, making business deals etc. When was the last time you had a strategy for leaving voicemails? Well, we all should make it a habit. 

In this episode, you'll receive lifelong tips on how you can make your messages standout stars, ultimately helping you to get exactly what you want.

Listen. You are gifted. Talented. CAPABLE. But when it comes to communication and public speaking... do you believe this? Know it? Or do you tell yourself things like, "I'm not good at this. I'm just not a good communicator." 

Look, learning about things like eye contact, vocal variety & body language is easy. But it doesn't mean squat if your mindset is f*cked up. 

In this episode, I talk about 3 mindset shifts we need to make NOW in 2020 if we want to have success in communication going forward.

60-77% of people make New Year's resolutions. 8-19% of them only achieve SOME of their goals. Why? Because of our flawed approach to habit formation. We use strategies linked to motivation and willpower to form habits, but they're unpredictable as hell. 

But you know what does work? Mini habits. 

Inspired by Stephen Guise, mini habits will LITERALLY change your life forever. This is an episode that can transform you fully if you apply the concept. Tune in and let's ascend!!

When it comes to communication (and life in general), people get so caught in their fears that they don't move. They stay in their comfort zone. But those that succeed, make an impact, and move forward... they use tactics to keep them pushing in spite of the fear. 

Tune in and let's level up!

"You can't change the past." "The past is dead and gone." "It's over with." How many times have we heard things like this? Better yet... how many of us believe these statements? Well, I'm here to tell you that we can actually change our pasts. It sounds weird because no one ever shows us how to do it. We live our lives thinking that we're powerless against our pasts. 

But, go ahead, tune in - and you'll learn a skill that we can use for the rest of our lives.

So many of us don't need even others to sabotage us... because we already do it ourselves! Over the years, I've become aware of 3 easy but unsuspecting ways that people sabotage themselves (mainly in communication). 

The 3 practices highlighted in this episode only cause us to kick ourselves when we're down! No bueno. 

Let's make a promise to eliminate them, keep our heads up, and have our own backs - no matter what.
