Lack of confidence in sales is real…

Lack of sales confidence, imposter syndrome, and anxiety are real.

And these feelings can paralyzing

Here’s a simple way forward

  • I learned this from my 17-year-old daughter, Faith
  • She studies with Broadway performers
  • It’s a flipping pressure cooker

Ready?

It’s a simple mantra: Face – Replace – Embrace

1. Face the feeling – don’t hide from it

2. Replace the feeling – with something positive (or a reframe)

3. Embrace – embrace what? Embrace another human being – a hug

A hug.

  • A hug will re-connect you
  • A hug will re-center you
  • A hug will empower you

Here’s the reality:

  1. You can’t think your way to confidence
  2. Or out of imposter syndrome
  3. Or out of anxiety

We need human connection

Hug it out

Face – Replace – Embrace

I hope this helps!

PS: like I do with most things, I’ve made this an acronym: FREE

Face – Replace – Embrace

What’s the extra “E”?

Up to you – for me, it’s Empowered
