SUMMARY:ASC Webinar Series Ep #10: Get Sh*t Done: Secrets of Highly Successful Achievers That You're Likely Overlooking
DESCRIPTION:When we examine the subset of our population who are super-achievers that seem to have the “IT” factor\, there’s no denying that we ask ourselves the question\, “How the heck do they do that???”  \nWe ponder how they have the unending energy to do what they do; how they have abundant time for fun and being social; how they have an EPIC family life and are strong in health; and how they carry positivity with them everywhere they go. And they do this ALL WHILE getting 10X\, 50X or 100X more accomplished than everyone else!  \nIn one hour\, we will reveal some of the methods today’s most successful high achievers use to create kick-ass success.  \nIn this training\, we will reveal:  \n-The TRUTH about what uber-successful people do to GET THE UPPER HAND  \n-How to MULTIPLY YOUR OUTPUT AND RESULTS without sacrificing a HIGH-QUALITY LIFESTYLE  \n-The BAD-ASS TOOLS that will help catapult you over those sneaky obstacles on the ROAD TO SUCCESS  \n-Why the hustle+grind model does not get you LONG-TERM RESULTS  \n-How to create a significant POSITIVE IMPACT on your life with not-so-significant adjustments \n

SUMMARY:3 Skills That Will Build Your Communication Muscles
DESCRIPTION:I am brining my friend Madeline Schwarz back to talk about an area of communication that is often overlooked…listening! We are going to be sharing three skills that will help you amplify your ability to listen and connect with your audience. \nIf you missed Madeline last time you can check out the replay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlzRd_ozWmM \n  \n****\nAbout Madeline Schwarz\nMadeline is a communication coach that has taught workshops and coached employees at brands such as Marriot Hotels\, Mastercard\, Ellevate Network\, PVH Corp\, JP Morgan\, Fancy LLC\, Ithaka S + R\, Creative Mornings\, and Manhattan Chamber of Commerce. Before becoming a communication coach she spent years on the sidelines being interrupted and talked over by the loudest voices in the room. It was frustrating. Conquering her fears of public speaking was one of the most transformative experiences of her adult life. It’s the reason she’s so passionate about teaching quiet leaders to speak up! When she is not coaching or teaching workshops\, you can find her playing legos with her little one\, wandering art museums\, and community organizing around local school issues.
