The Art and Science of Building Relationships that Lead to Success in Life and Business

What do B2B and B2C have in common? People are the ones who make the decisions. Often there is an erroneous belief that competence, a good product, and professionalism is the most important aspects of business.



However, the research suggests something different. And that is that relationships are what drive sales and success. Not just in business, but in life as well.



But developing great relationships that will make a difference in our life and business requires that we develop relationship skills. What are the most important relationship skills to develop.



Well, in this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, Award Winning Attorney, Forbes Business Development Thought Leader and Coach, Joe Brocato joins us to talk about how you can take our relationships to the next level with his latest book..."Hit It Off".



Joe Brocato's Book, "Hit It Off: 21 Rules for Mastering the Art and Science of Relationships In Life and Business" is what I would call an essential read for every person in any stage of life or business.



The 21 Rules are all things you may have heard before.  The difference in this book is that Joe provides the science behind why they work.



What is more Joe introduces ways to apply these 21 rules, and the "train wrecks" can happen when these rules get derailed.



Another powerful set of tools that Joe provides in "Hit It Off" is that at the end of the book he has exercise to help you strengthen these 21 relationships rules.





And although the rules may not be new, we need to be more intentional and conscious how we use them.  Because we all know we tend to go on automatic pilot when it comes to building new relationships.







If we would be more conscious of our behavior and our words, we would develop deeper and better relationships that will create greater success for ourselves in life and business.

A Pathway to Dealing with Mistakes that Will Lead to Success

Be honest. How does your business deal with mistakes? Do you punish people for making mistakes? Do you take them behind the verbal woodshed and berate them for their error?



If you are like most businesses, there is no room for mistakes. You calculate mistakes as costly. They eat your profits. They cannot be tolerated. And the only corrective measure is to punish them.



There is a better and more productive way. And that is embracing mistakes. Because mistakes can be the greatest gift you have to finding a new and better solution, create more productivity, more honesty, and ultimately more profitability.



How you ask? Well on this episode of A New Direction Consultant and Author Mark Graban takes us through how mistakes can be your greatest gift toward success.



Mark Graban takes on a journey through his book "The Mistakes that Make Us: Cultivating a Culture of Learning and Innovation".



The book is a culmination of his many interviews with leaders at different levels and how they handled the mistakes of others as well as their own in a way that was productive and led to more successful outcomes.



The book has several themes:  First, punishing mistakes does not work.  And yet for some reason we continue to do it.



Second, creating a culture of "psychological safety" gives people the freedom to make mistakes.  This allows the company to correct them.



Third, making mistakes and learning from them will lead to more success, then avoiding them, hiding them, or punishing them.



The book is backed by a myriad of examples from large and small companies.  It is also backed by a plethora of research from some of the leading researchers on the subject.



This can be a business changing book, and even a life changing book if people are willing to be open and have a growth mindset.  Because mistakes when handled correctly can lead to much greater success for any industry or person.



Please say thank you to the sponsors of A New Direction!

From Worrier to Warrior

We all face challenges in life. Some are personal and some are professional. Whether you are facing a divorce, death of a loved one, a financial crisis, or your business is flailing and failing. Life can confront us with challenges.







How do you handle challenges? Are you a nuclear reactor that explodes and blows up everyone around you? Or perhaps you ignore it and hope it goes away? Or do you have another plan?







In this episode of A New Direction Serial Entrepreneur and Coach Martin Salama joins to help us move from Worrier to Warrior.







Martin will share with us his 7 step process to uncover the Warrior within each of us and L.I.F.E. (Live Incredibly Full Everyday)





Martin Salama's book, "Worrier To Warrior: 7 Steps to UNCOVER The Warrior Within and Live Incredibly Full Everyday" is a fun, practical, insightful book that will help you become the person you were meant to be.



Worrier to Warrior starts with taking a deep dive into you.  The fact is we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do.  And sometimes we don't want to look at ourselves because we don't want to deal with our own stuff.



And there are times we don't want to look at ourselves because it also means looking at our past.  Dealing with our past hurts, traumas, and pain.  But as Martin demonstrates is when we look at our past that we can reveal our warrior future.



The book is easy to read.  It is filled with acronyms that make the learning process easy.  The practical tips are not difficult in concept, but as Martin points out they are going to be challenging fo you to carry out.  It will take work.



Are you ready to move from "Worrier to Warrior"?  Are you ready to live a life of positivity and abundance rather than lack?  Then this book is for you!

How to Communicate with People That Don't Agree with YOU or Who Don't Think Like YOU

Whether in business or your personal life, it doesn't take long to realize you are going to come in contact with people who don't think like you do. And when that happens issues are most likely will occur.







The fact of the matter is none of us think exactly the same. And sometimes the differences in our thinking can cause conflict and sometimes even rebellion.



The question then becomes: Is there a way to have different thinking and still be able to communicate effectively without losing productivity or worse yet lose the relationship.







On this episode of A New Direction award winning leadership coach Denise Blanc returns to discuss how communicate effectively and improve your emotional intelligence that leads to greater leadership and stronger relationships.





Denise Blanc's book "Riverlogic: Tools to Transform Resistance and Create Flow in all of our Relationships" is an excellent resource on how we can communicate more effectively in our business and personal relationships.



Using the analogy of the river rapids she helps us navigate the tricky waters of trying to communicate in situations where both parties are not on the same page, but also may be completely at odds with one another.

RiverLogic takes us through understanding ourselves.  Literally getting outside of ourselves, changing our binary mindset, sit in the gray areas, and moving to understanding of others as we continue to understand ourselves.



The tips and techniques that Denise Blanc employs are well researched and will not only improve your ability to communicate, but also help make your relationships more productive and successful over the long term.





Denise has a special offer for those who would like to sample the book for free themselves.  Just Click on this Link: riverlogictools.com/book-excerpts

Feeling Stuck Maybe It's Time to Think Like an Archeologist and Jump Start Your Career

What do an archeologist and finding your career have in common? Turns out quite a bit. Like an archaeologist you are going to have to have a vision for your career.







You are going to have to create your own map. You are going to have to dig and find artifacts (like your strengths, interests, gifts, and abilities) that you can make sense of what you have and where you may be going.







You have to have a sense of faith of believing that there is something there that no one else can see. And then one shovel at time you will have to discover a career that will bring you greater fulfillment.







In this episode of A New Direction, career expert and author Chris Fontanella joins us to talk about how you need to be a bit of an archaeologist that can discover the career you have been looking for that you may not see yet.





Chris Fontanella's book "Jump-Start Your Career: Ten Tips to Get You Going" is a quick power packed book for those looking to do something about their career.



The book starts by introducing us to Archeologist Dr. Kent Weeks who worked his way up the ladder and took a risk on a piece of land in Egypt that no one was interested in only to discover what is believed to be the tomb of Ramses II.







Chris Fontanella then uses the analogy of finding your career to that of an archaeology discovery.  The fact is it is going to take some digging to find your calling.  And that is the point of the book.



Finding your calling or purpose will require you to make a map, have ambition, overcome obstacles, deal with the mundane, have perseverance as well as other tips.



It is an excellent read for anyone who is starting their career, or is stuck looking for their next career.  I highly recommend Jump-Start Your Career, make sure you get yourself a copy or give one to a friend who is looking.
