Being excellent at the craft of selling isn’t just about understanding how to use technology to your advantage, or having the best sales skills to do the job. Important? Yes. But, often, without realizing it, we get in our own way. Hidden biases and beliefs could be hindering our ability to reach our full potential. Inner work may be required, which can only happen if we stop long enough to evaluate what’s going on.
In this interview, I talked with Gladys Agwai, Founder and CEO of Ignite Within. She believes – and is on a mission to share that belief – that all of us need to get to know who we really are, be who we really are and be unapologetic about it.
During the interview, Gladys answered these questions:
What she means when she asks people to get clear about themselves and be unapologetic about it.
What the impact is of not being clear about who you are, what you want, and why you want it.
What often keeps us from being clear.
When in the space of uncertainty, how we can find certainty to avoid being stuck.
What we expect once we have clarity about ourselves.
How we go about getting clarity without allowing others to define it for us.
Gladys also reminds us that in order to gain more clarity and make changes in our lives, we must do the work. See below for a bonus offer of a FREE workbook from Gladys to do just that.
Enjoy the conversation!
