Artificial intelligence is not a substitute for human intelligence; it is a tool to amplify human creativity and ingenuity." — Fei-Fei Li Check Out These Highlights: I love this quote.  I keep hearing how AI is going to replace so many jobs, and perhaps even humans.  I personally do not agree with this mindset and think today's conversation will be relevant for leaders navigating people and technology.  Today, my guest and I are going to explore what it means to lead with a people-first mindset in a fast-moving, tech-driven world. We will discuss practical ways to strengthen human connection, build trust, and inspire innovation while fully embracing modern technology. You will walk away with a clear, accessible guide to redefining leadership where human values and digital progress work hand in hand.

"Balance is not better time management, but better boundary management.  Balance means making choices and enjoying those choices." – Betsy Jacobson. Lately, many people in their 30s have asked me how I was able to start a business, raise my two boys (who played travel hockey from the age of 5), and maintain a marriage for 32 years.  The short answer is that I just put one foot in front of the other. Truly, there was no master's plan when I was in my 30s, knowing how to create a wonderful business and life.  I've learned to set clear boundaries with every choice, but that has come over time.  This is why I chose this quote for today. It always boils down to boundaries and choices. We are the only ones who can control our future, so setting clear boundaries that you can live with is crucial.     YouTube: https://youtu.be/sM-9AhQtKcA   About Connie Whitman: Known for her high-energy, passionate, heart-centered, and enthusiastic approach to sales, teaching, and coaching, Connie Whitman has been the CEO of Changing the Sales Game for 20+ years, helping business owners, leaders, and sales teams build powerhouse organizations.    Connie is a four-time #1 International Best-Selling author, including her book ESP (Easy Sales Process): 7-Steps to Sales Success, speaker, and podcast host.  Her inspired teaching, transformational tools, and content ensure that bankers, business owners, and salespeople grow their revenue streams through enhanced communication skills.    She is thrilled to share inspiring content on her international podcasts "Changing the Sales Game" and "Enlightenment of Change."   How to Get In Touch With Connie Whitman: Website:  https://changingthesalesgme.com Email:  connie@changingthesalesgame.com Free Gift – CSA:  https://tinyurl.com/CSAFreeGift   Stalk me online!

"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong."― N.R. Narayana Check Out These Highlights:  In this episode, we get brutally honest about what happens when you treat mindset as an afterthought in business: stalled growth, reactive leadership, burnout, and a team that mirrors your worst habits instead of your best. We'll walk through how your internal narrative quietly drives your decisions, sales, your culture, and your results. Whether you're aware of it or not.  Jonathan is a leadership and growth coach helping high performers lead with authenticity, alignment, and purpose.

Connie's motivational quote today is by - Katharine Paine, "The moment you make a mistake in pricing, you're eating into your reputation or your profits."  YouTube: https://youtu.be/WijR3BZYL78 Check Out These Highlights:   When I started my business 20 years ago, I had no idea how to price my offers or write a proposal to spotlight the value the client would get from my services. It was scary.  The little voice in my head was very loud telling me I should discount my prices since I had just started my business.  I bet this sounds familiar to many business owners who just started their business or have been in business just a few years. The funny thing is, when I started my business, it wasn't like I didn't know what I was doing. On the contrary, I was an expert in sales for the previous 20 years.  So why did I feel like a fraud and afraid to charge my fees?  Fear of rejection, Imposter Syndrome, my negative record player getting the best of me.  It was really all of the above! So what did I do?  I sought help from a business owner who had been in business for over a decade.  The reality is when we discount our prices, we devalue what we bring to the table or leave money on the table without realizing it. This is one of my favorite topics to discuss.  Being a sales expert, leaving money on the table, and not serving our clients to our fullest ability is not an option for me or my clients.  This type of thinking stops today!!!

"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another."― William James Check Out These Highlights:   During today's episode, my guest and I will explore why darker days affect mood, how we can take accountability for healing, and how true healing begins when we take ownership of our energy and intentionally create joy from within. We will examine how micro-moments of gratitude boost energy and reduce rumination during the winter months.

Life, sales, work, leadership, you name it – it all starts with what we believe.  So how do we shift from fear, uncertainty, overwhelm, and struggle?  The best place to sell is from a place of service.

Why Belief Is Your Most Powerful Closing Tool with Jennifer Maher (episode 401) "Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman, not the attitude of the prospect." – William Clement Stone Check Out These Highlights:  In this episode, my guest and I will unpack the Placebo Effect in Sales — the magnetic power of belief, energy, and certainty in every conversation.

"I am the greatest obstacle to my greatest dreams." – Craig D. Lounsbrough Check Out These Highlights:  As we learn new strategies and techniques to help us navigate life's ups and downs, we need to be ready for that change and open to what might be.  We all have blind spots, and until the right course of action, solution, or strategy presents itself, we may remain stuck, not knowing how to move forward or change.    Today, we are going to learn about the BeRelentless Method™—a surgical approach that deletes years of emotional baggage, identity friction, and subconscious sabotage in a single day.

"Leadership is not about having all the answers but about asking the right questions." – Vorng Panha Check Out These Highlights:   A recent topic that's been generating a lot of interest is the subject of "PERMISSION," especially when it comes to taking your career, business, and/or life to the next level!

"If a door closes, quit banging on it. Whatever was behind it was not meant for you. Consider that perhaps the door was closed because you're worth so much more than what was on the other side." – Karen Salmansohn Youtube: https://youtu.be/2DkLl2JHtQI Check Out These Highlights: I chose this quote because I often feel this way.  When doors close or something ends, I ponder if I did something that caused this change.  It could be good or bad, but it doesn't really matter.  The end result is when those doors close, stop banking on them, and think of the next possible step forward. I personally love the quotes that share the Universe is always conspiring to help our higher self.  There's a comfort in knowing that the future is better and bigger than I can imagine today.

"Everything is energy, and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want, and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics." – Albert Einstein Check Out These Highlights: We have all heard about the Law of Attraction. Contrary to popular belief, manifestation goes far beyond the power of wishful thinking.

"The moment you change your perception is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body." – Dr. Bruce Lipton Check Out These Highlights: I remember the first time I received an email about the law of attraction; I was hooked. I felt like I had uncovered another world that had been hidden from me. Now, 23 years later, I know that our minds are truly powerful and that we have complete control of what we create in our lives. Our minds do create our reality. At that time, I had two small children and was two years into building my business. I had one speed, fast, back then, and my body and mind couldn't keep up with the demand I had placed on myself. So, receiving the email and many more that followed, I realized I had to take control of my mind, body, and spirit. What are your mind and body telling you? Are you listening or ignoring so you can get your to-do list done at all costs? About Suzanne Boudreau: Suzanne is the founder of GuidedSerenity.com.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.

I want to help people shift their mindset from feeling trapped with the only option in life being to work in a corporate setting to stepping out on their own and creating freedom in their lives, while also giving back to the world with their gifts and genius.  In today's episode, my guest and I will discuss what it truly takes to break free from the 9-to-5 and the mindset required to build financial freedom and a happy life. He's going to share the raw truth about growth, visibility, and the importance of authenticity in today's digital space. Whether you're just getting started or you're ready for your next level, this conversation will light a fire under you.  About Philip Johansen: Philip is also known as Hustle Phil. He deleted my 1.2 million Instagram followers to start from scratch and achieve success online (his new account is currently at 50k+ followers and growing daily). Philip built a multi-million-dollar affiliate marketing business, and now he helps others do the same. Just a few years ago, he was a plumber in Denmark, commuting three hours a day, wondering if that was all life had to offer. Hitting rock bottom forced him to make a change, and through relentless discipline and a proven system, he turned everything around. Today, he runs a thriving affiliate marketing business, helping people worldwide escape the 9-5 and create financial freedom. He has personally mentored over 15,000 students, many of whom have replaced their job or supplemented their salary with $3,000-$5,000 per month for more freedom. The transformations he sees every day are what keep me fired up.
