Great salespeople don’t sell. They inspire their customers to buy. They make big promises so they can earn the right to make even bigger promises in the future.

Success is not about under-promising and over-delivering. It’s about boldly promising what you have to stretch to deliver. Luck favours the brave. Ambition attracts results. Modest promises don’t inspire anyone to place big bets with you.

Yes, there is a time to play it safe. If you’re not in your sweet spot, proceed with caution. If you’re out of your depth, don’t go deep. If you aren’t certain you can handle it, let it go. I’m encouraging you to be audacious, not stupid. You can only fool people once before they never follow you again.

Anything that is worth anything can only be achieved through others.

Collaboration is the biggest theme in the workplace today. It is defined as: working effectively with other people or groups to achieve a mutually desired result.

It seems like it should be a natural instinct, but it’s not. Highly effective collaboration is not the norm. So what gets in the way of highly effective collaboration? Environics/Lipkin research has revealed five key barriers:

1. Lack of purpose.
2. Lack of perspective.
3. Lack of trust.
4. Lack of expertise.  
5. Lack of enablers.

Here is the secret sauce of Champion Collaborators in a single sentence: Champion Collaborators help others succeed in a way that motivates others to invest more time and resources with them. So are you a Champion Collaborator? How do you know?

In this breakthrough program, Mike Lipkin will share the ten researched ways to become a champion collaborator. 

The noise has never been louder and the distractions have never been greater. There are so many priorities competing for our attention that we hardly know what to do  and  when to do it. We’re magnetized to people  who  help us make sense of the chaos and guide us on how to achieve winning results.

Highly Effective Communication is the secret sauce of today’s Champions. It is the process of sharing information and transferring emotions in such a way that others are motivated to take the desired actions.

Champion  communicators say the right things and they say them in the right way. They  inspire and inform  others in equal measure. They understand how to make connections and they walk their own talk.

Every year, Mike Lipkin coaches thousands of people in the world’s best organizations on how to communicate like champions. 

Once upon a time, everyone is new. We arrive on the scene with new energy and ideas. We have something to prove and we prove it. We dazzle and delight our customers and colleagues. We are the bright, shiny thing.

Then the seasons pass. We earn others’ respect and loyalty. We build our personal franchise. We develop our habits. We operate in our zone of competency and comfort. We start to defend what has taken us years to create. That’s when the crisis hits.

Markets change. Technology evolves. Customers demand more. A new breed of players, with a brand new value proposition, suddenly appears.
