The Power of Pivoting
Change can be scary. But if you learn to do it right, you can find purpose in the pivoting. Too often people use these times of unexpected change to play the comparison game and go through all the “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” in their lives. These can be two of the worst words in the English language if we don’t learn to step back and evaluate our progress without our emotions attached to it.
Learn to Love “No” The R.O.C.K.S.T.A.R. Method of Rejection
Monica has been rejected by casting directors, tourism boards, and a dozen middle school crushes — and turned that rejection into a career. As a former actress and travel show host, she faced constant “no’s” before pivoting into sales, a field she swore she’d avoid. Four years later, she’d taken the business from $600K to $4M. Now Monica teaches sales teams the same mindset shift that took her from stage fright to sold out: the R.O.C.K.S.T.A.R. Method. Set to the soundtrack of classic rock anthems, Monica blends data with stories from cave kayaking to channeling your inner Beyoncé, giving audiences a rejection-proof mindset and real tactics to use before their very next call.
Facing Fears to Build Resilience
We all struggle with fears and insecurities but if we can learn to not only face them but lean into them, we can become more resilient to facing whatever comes next! On the other side of fear is confidence and strength, so let’s learn to embrace pushing out of our comfort zones and build up that fear muscle.
