Possibility Instead of Promises

Life is full of all kinds of sales pitches!

Even if you're not a business-owner or entrepreneur, in your own way you're still “selling” somebody something or trying to persuade the people around you.

Just think about the last time you tried to get your kid to go to sleep, or suggested a meal to your sweetie, or tried to convince your friend to watch a particular show or movie.

We may not even realize it, but we're always marketing our ideas and opinions. How we do that can vary drastically, depending on the situation and or what we’ve been taught.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re taking a closer look at the difference between “promising” people an outcome, versus sharing the powerful possibilities a client could experience in their work with us.

The thing we don’t want to forget is that part of the outcome (what people get out of it) - depends on their participation, proactiveness and priority (what people put into it.)

This is why I prefer to dwell more in the realm of what is possible, to tell the truth about what becomes possible when we’re willing to do the work, put in the effort and stay consistent and committed!

KK's Takeaways:

  • Transformation Requires Change (8:47)
  • How Do You Know? (15:43)
  • We Are Not Special (19:31)
  • Be A Willing To Be Part Of The Process (27:44)
  • Promises (33:07)
  • What Becomes Possible (38:02)
