Reinvention Radio - Dismantling The Status Quo: Business | Politics | Entertainment | Marketing | Internet | Life | Money

Dr. Joanie Connell studied electrical engineering in college so she could make a decent living. She earned her B.A. in Engineering from Harvard University. After she graduated, she worked as an electrical engineer in Silicon Valley. Though she was making great money, Joanie was unhappy and had no passion for her work – she was much more interested in the people than the circuits. Try as she might to get more people-oriented work, such as marketing, she was always pushed back into her technical role as an engineer. She realized she needed to go back to school to re-specialize. Joanie didn’t take this decision lightly because there was a huge loss–money, career–and it was risky to try something new. She spent a long time going through the book “What Color Is Your Parachute“, talking to people about what they saw her doing, taking courses after work, and volunteering to try different things out. Eventually, she went back to graduate school to study psychology so she could be a Communications Consultant, earning a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. Now she focuses on leadership development. One of her niche areas is helping technical people (like engineers) be better leaders. As a professor, Joanie has taught business and psychology students of all ages at the Rady School of Management at the University of California San Diego, the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, and in the Masters in Human Behavior program at National University. Joanie is author of “Flying Without a Helicopter – How to Prepare Young People for Work and Life“, is an organizational consultant and leadership coach working with companies and individuals, developing leaders and helping companies to attract and retain top talent. Just a few of her clients include Apple, Boeing, Cisco Systems, Hewlett Packard, United States Post Office, and United States Navy SEALS. Tune in to hear Joanie, Steve, Mary, and Richard discuss how she works to create collaboration across generations, helps teens develop REAL life skills and brings teams from dysfunction to well-functioning.       In This Episode She’s a Harvard Grad with an Electrical Engineering degree A visionary for a computer career Why didn’t she go to MIT? The cross country move to Silicon Valley She preferred people over circuits At 28 she decided this wasn’t the career for her The journey to leadership communication Now she helps tech people work on their people skills Meetings vs eyerolls and texts Cross generational challenges Contemporary definition of a nerd The leadership toolbox Married a nerd, had a nerd Joanie’s prediction for the next tech revolution.       Resources Mentioned URL: https://flexibleworksolutions.com/, http://flyingwithout.com/   Previously On Reinvention Radio Reinventing The Naked Truth – In this episode, tune in to hear Joie Cheng chat with Steve, Mary, and Richard about how she healed herself naturally from deep depression and suicidal thoughts through self-love.

Steve D. Sims grew up in a construction family in East London. Not wanting to spend his life working as a bricklayer, he talked his way into a stockbroker job in the 1980’s in London that lasted about six months, before he again talked his way into a job – one he was not qualified for – in Hong Kong, which lasted 2 days before he was fired. So Steve started working the doors at the Hong Kong nightclubs, quickly gaining a reputation for being the guy that can make connections, including events, tickets, introductions and more. His initial goal in making those connections was landing a high-level job, but his wife Clare realized he was doing well using his talents, suggesting he create his own job. So he did just that.

Sharla Jacobs graduated with a Master’s from Acupuncture School in 2002, and was $80,000 in Debt. After starting her practice, she realized that traditional sales models were about manipulation and being pushy. She had to find another way. After downloading a sales model that was based on her background as an acupuncturist, Sharla went from just getting by to over $5,000 a month. Then Sharla borrowed the money to hire a coach from her boyfriend, Jesse. That coach challenged her to have 100 sales conversations per week. So she went to every networking event, following up with everyone she met, having lots of awkward conversations and it still wasn’t going that well after the first two months. But then she asked herself a life-changing question: “If the 5 Elements that she had studied through Acupuncture School were present in everything around us, how are they present in a sales conversation?” And the concept of Heartselling was born. Jesse knew he had mastered Heartselling when he got 16 new clients in one month using that system. Within 30 days, Sharla tripled her income. Friends who were coaches and holistic practitioners like them started asking how they were able to grow their practices so quickly, and they started teaching this system. In 2005, they decided to host their first live event. They had 94 people sign up and 88 attend, earning $33,000 in that first weekend. They knew that what they were putting out into the world was deeply needed. Since that first Summit, they’ve led the event 78 times. People fly in from all over the world for three days to learn how they can attract more of their ideal clients using this heart-based model — where they don’t have to feel pushy or manipulative and everyone feels honored as a result of the conversations and where clients are attracted to working with them because of the confidence they exude about their work. Sharla and her husband own one of the largest business training schools in the world for Coaches and Holistic Practitioners and are known for creating Transformational Leaders. In the last 13 years, their clients have earned over $100 million collectively using what they’ve learned at Thrive Academy. Many of the Transformational Leaders of today had their first $10,000+ month while working with them. Their book, The Art of Attracting Clients, has become an international hit that has inspired people all over the world to enroll high-paying clients while staying connected with their heart. Sharla and Jesse love to give as well, having awarded over 12 Million Dollars in scholarships to their live events. They’ve also had a school built for children in Kenya, and they help provide clean water and food for people globally. Tune in to hear Sharla chat with Steve, Mary and Richard about reinventing sales conversations and attracting new clients through Heartselling.   In This Episode Her journey through acupuncture certifications Giving up a lifestyle Do you believe in me? 20 sales conversations a day How she tripled her income 5 Elements of the Heartselling System A moment of silence for Steve Olsher Transforming concerns vs overcoming objectives Stop comparing yourself to the teachers   Resources Mentioned Book: The Art of Attracting Clients URL: http://gift...
