    Episode 509 - Melting the ICE of Resistance

    Dealing with a manager who won’t give you the time of day and is distant can be challenging, but there are always tools you can use to improve the situation and create a more positive working relationship. On this episdode we will discuss some techniques to consider.
    Rethinking Groupthink
    It's important to remember that you may not be able to change your manager's behavior immediately, but you can control how you respond to it. Sometimes, we can’t control a prospect who is resistant, a resistant manager, or a customer who is being indifferent.  How can you melt that frigid, cold ice of resistance from these people you interact with daily? 
    Join me for this week’s podcast on Melting the ICE of Resistance.  Discover other ways to turn up the heat and melt the ice to enjoy harmony and assistance.
     
    OFFER OF WEEK:
    Can You Captivate and Close with Charisma?
    Do You Ever Wonder How Some People Can Persuade And Motivate On Command?
    Just because you can create a PowerPoint does not mean you know how to communicate, inspire and present.  Sure, you can give a presentation, and no one leaves the room; it doesn’t say anything negative, but did you have charisma?  Did you influence them to your point of view? 
    I know you have seen someone who can captivate their speaking and presentation skills.  From the moment they start to the minute they finish, you have been captivated, mesmerized, and in tune to their message.  On the flip side, you have been bored out of your mind.  The presentation dragged on, you wanted to sleep, and it sucked the life right out of you. 
    How would you describe your presentation skills?  Charismatic people have excellent communication skills that captivate, inspire, and rivet the audience.  They can articulate their vision and make it come alive in the audience’s mind.  It is like listening to a movie. They have created a mental picture so strong that it feels natural.  
    Take a quick Presentation IQ assessment.  Let’s identify how to take your presentation and influence skills to the next level.  You will also receive my Perfect Persuasion Presentation template and video training to help out with my research.
