How to Sell Your Ideas and Share Your Beliefs (Without Offending Anyone)

Are you comfortable talking to people? When someone asks you a question, how do you respond? Most people have a strong inner voice that defends their perspective and blocks out words from the other person. Yet, we hear people like Gary Vaynerchuk, Tony Robbins, Tom Bilyeu, or Grant Cardone just speak their minds while the rest of the world listens. If you want to learn how to be a charismatic person, this episode is for you. Stay tuned as Sharran takes you through 8 simple things you can do to develop this skill. It all starts with having a framework for answering any questions thrown at you. 

“Answer any question with one of these three things: A fact, a story, or a model.”
