Some of the resources Barb talked about in this episode:
- Vanilla Sky - the movie
- Prince: Baby I'm a star
- Henry Ford's 'Whether you think you can or can't, you're right'.
I feel blessed to have interviewed Barb for the All Personal Podcast. Sadly, she passed in 2020, leaving us with her incredibly rich legacy!
To me, this talk was such a great lesson on what good selling is and also on what it isn’t anymore.
And it also got me thinking that, well, we are all natural born something, be it sellers, presenters, speakers, marketers, singers, etc., which is what makes us great at it.
And then, even if we don’t have that natural born ability, we can still become good at it. Maybe not great, maybe not perfect (and hey, nobody’s perfect), but still good.
Because you don’t have to be a professional dancer to be able to dance at your own wedding, right? So, I leave you with a question: what is your natural born skill? My guess is, you will need to make it all personal to answer this. Till next time.
