• Recognize that connection begins within
• Focus on opening the dialogue, rather than closing the sale

The Connected Leader

Successful leaders understand the nuances in communication that make a big difference when inspiring action and cooperation. Leaders know the power of their words and understand that words alone do not generate trust, allegiance, and loyalty. Connection is the glue that keeps relationships, projects, and organizations together.

A leader must be authentic and exhibit the behaviors conveyed in their message to maintain respect for their authority. Advance your communication style, increase your credibility, earn respect, and gain support by learning from Colette Carlson how to:

• Communicate with candor and clarity to guide your team to achieve remarkable results
• Effectively receive feedback from your team
• Develop phrases that dissolve conflict and inspire cooperation
• Engage, persuade, and influence others through strategic storytelling
• Exhibit integrity and build trust when you walk your talk (especially under pressure!)
• Become a human highlighter who champions the accomplishments and strengths of every individual on your team

WORK-LIFE BALANCE / STRESS / PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Stress Less: YOU Management vs Time Management

The truth is whether you are in leadership, in sales, or on the front line, you are expected to produce more in less time with fewer resources, while staying positive and connected with colleagues, customers and clients. The reality is we are all stressed out, tightly wound, and exhausted trying to meet and exceed expectations. People have the best intentions that seem to go out the window before lunch as they are constantly changing schedules, demands, and priorities. Enough already! Create the focus, energy, and mindset necessary to make healthy choices and stay connected to those who count.

It’s no longer about time management, it’s about YOU management. Get ready to laugh-out loud and walk away ready to make positive, long-lasting change the next day.

Customized for every audience and their unique challenges, some of Colette Carlson most-requested lessons include:

• Differentiate between time management and YOU management
• Know when to let go or take control
• Eliminate unrealistic expectations and energy zappers
• Beat the stress and temptation of everyday life in healthy ways
• Build a positive mindset to increase mental toughness
