Learning a new skill or new information which could help us advance our career, our personal and professional development, and establish a daily learning habit does not have to be hard or frustrating. Learning should be fun, welcoming, and continuous, not difficult and inconvenient. That is why it is important to be ready and willing to learn, grow, and expand our own knowledge each day and to have a plan on how you are going to do it every day. This is what this podcast episode is all about.

There are many different tools and resources available and used by adults in order to improve their self-leadership and personal development skills and knowledge. But how about young adults - teenagers - shouldn't they be able to do the same, while attending school and beyond, extending their knowledge and newly learned skills into the real world? I certainly think so, and that is what I discuss in this episode - ways for modern teens to begin developing themeselves personally and professionally, and learning the art of self-leadership and continuous learning.

In this episode I discuss the importance of taking care of ourselves and our mental health every day of the month, every month, not just during the month of May - Mental Health Awareness Month.

In this episode I discuss the Consultative Sales Approach, what it is and how one may use it when working with customers and clients.  How does Consultative Sales Approach differ from the "standard" sales approach we typically see and hear as customers when we thinking about making a purchase based on our needs and objectives? I discuss this and few other points and questions in this episode.

Have a confidence, passion and excitement in everything that you do, offer, sell, or teach Have a complete confidence in yourself, product or service you are selling and offering in person or online, and have confidence in your company you work for or business that you own Let your passion speak for you. If you are passionate about what you do or sell, everything else will fall into place, as long as you are honest and transparent about that what you offer to others in all in-person or virtual interactions. So, be excited and show your excitement to your customers, your clients, and/or your students Be truthful and transparent about products or services that you are selling. Because, if you are dishonest in what you do, sell, or teach, you may win a sale today, but eventually you will lose your customers’ trust and business. Customer’s trust and loyalty is everything to a successful business and its longevity.

Someone may be dealing with some challenging situation in their personal or professional life, but you will never know about it because they prefer to keep their personal life and challenges or problems they are facing to themselves. Therefore, do not judge other people based on what they said or did until you had an opportunity to learn and understand what is the root cause behind their words and/or actions. Also, remember to be respectful of other people's privacy. If they choose to share their problems and challenges with you, than see if you may be able to help, but if they choose not to share their unique situation or their thoughts with you, then be respectful of their privacy. Don't be quick in judging someone's words or actions, until you understand what they may be going through.

In this episode the importance and necessity of being happy with yourself if discussed. There is no reason why we should not be happy with our wonderful, brilliant, smart, and unique selves. We are born to bring and introduce something unique, something that only we can do and/or offer, such as unique skills, character, personality, way of thinking, etc. We must remember to love ourselves and remember that we are enough, and that we are stronger than we think. Our strength is deeply rooted within us and is always there when we need it. We should also remember to smile more, even then things get tough. Positive mindset and optimistic outlook on life is very important and powerful in everything that we do or say.

Our daily lives are a series of habits which we had formed over a long period of time, sometimes months or even years. Bad habits don't just dissapear, it takes effort, hard work, and commitment on our part to get rid of those habits that do not add any value to the quality of our lives. It works the same way for establishing good habits - it doesn't happen overnight.  We should ask ourselves each day how each habit either benefits us or hurts us, and be honest with ourselves.

In this episode I am discussing the topic of Affirmations and using them to help us get closer to achieving our goals and objectives that we set for ourselves. Some key points to note: Affirmations without goals and actionable steps taken by us to achieve goals set are simply empty phrases and activity without any purpose. Affirmations are important, but only when words that we say are backed by the actionable steps that we take to achieve that what we strive for. Affirmations are designed to help us stay focused and remind ourselves of our goals and objectives. By regularly using Affirmations we paint a mental picture and map in our mind visualizing our path towards achieving everything that we say that we want to achieve or have.

Discussing personal development as a necessity and something that everyone should invest time and energy into of every day.
