Ready for Any Question

We’ve all felt it – that split second shock, that constriction and clenching of our bodies, that horrible moment when we don’t have an answer.

We feel like the proverbial ‘deer in the headlights’, frozen and powerless. That can happen a lot when you’re in new territory, talking with experts who seem to speak a foreign language filled with acronyms and codes. Nowhere do I see that more frequently than in the business exit process.

So while it’s important to have a knowledgeable, experienced advocate who can interpret this strange new language, you can also learn to be ready for any question…

Today’s BlockbustHER BrainteasHER:

How can you become ready for any question, even when you’re caught off-guard?

Here’s the Twist . . .

Experts in every field are expected to have good, solid answers to questions about their field, industry and business. Often, we do have those answers, because it’s the basis of our expertise.

But you can still be caught off guard, especially when someone gets angry, frustrated, or challenging.

Most of my life, I’ve been learning, developing, and teaching specific strategies and techniques so people say ‘you bet!’ instead of ‘so what?’

I’ve taught politicians and then women business owners how to craft and deliver clear, consistent messages. I’ve trained them how to be ready for any question and how to manage their emotions.

Practicing and using these skills provides a firm foundation for all the other work we do together – whether it’s building a pricing model, making daily operations run smoothly, improving business development and sales, entering new markets or planning your exit.

The techniques I teach will help in every situation, especially so you feel calm and in control:

• How do you handle being caught off guard?
• Think back to a situation (business or personal) where you were caught off guard and reacted negatively. What did it feel like and how did you handle it? What would you do differently today?
• How do you handle that terrible tongue-tied feeling?

Now What?

Are you stuck in your Second Act?

Have you built a profitable and valuable business but instead of feeling like there's something missing, you’re feeling like there's something more?

If you’ve built an accounting firm, a law firm, a financial services firm, a psychology practice, or a specialty consulting firm that is generating $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue, you are in a prime market.

Larger firms and companies are growing by buying other firms. This has long been the case, but we’re seeing a higher rate than ever.

I wish it wasn’t the case, but I see too many women who actually lose their company instead of exiting on their own terms. The exit process is filled with pitfalls and complex issues – especially for women.

I’ve built my business as an advocate, and I specialize in helping women founders transition to their Third Act – when you’re ready to do the work you’ve always longed to do.

As your advocate, by definition, I’m looking out for your best interests. I am not taking a brokerage fee, commission, or equity. I am not motivated by how quickly the exit moves or the final dollar amounts. I want what you want – and will help you get it.

In my experience, women don't retire; they transition into a new stage of purpose and impact. Whether you are 40 or 60, the idea of retirement may not appeal to you. Just because you can retire doesn’t mean you’ll want to.

Are you ready to feel ready for any question?

That requires a new way of thinking, new skills, a simple and elegant design, and an advocate by your side. Contact me to learn more.?
