Timid Entrepreneurs Have Skinny Kids: The Sales Confidence Wake-Up Call

This is a no-excuses, high-energy keynote that puts courage back where it belongs: in your conversations, your follow-up, and your ability to ask for the money without shrinking. Timidity rarely looks dramatic — it looks like hesitation, over-explaining, discounting, and “I’ll circle back.” And it silently steals results. This session exposes how timidity sneaks into your language and behavior, then replaces it with a simple, repeatable confidence method that feels authentic and works immediately. Expect laughter, truth, and a powerful reset that leaves people clearer, bolder, and ready to move.

Key Insights:
• Identify and eliminate the subtle habits that sabotage sales
• Build a personal Sales Confidence formula that fits naturally
• Strengthen belief in value so follow-up becomes consistent and easy

Stronger. More Confident. Children.

This workshop infuses children with the confidence that they can do it. That they can learn principles, apply them, and grow into capable, successful adults using their own unique mix of gifts, skills, and talents.
Rather than talking at children, this experience gives them ownership in their development. Participants learn that confidence is built through choices, effort, and character — not handed out or hoped for.
The impact doesn’t stop when the session ends. This workshop naturally sparks meaningful conversations between children and parents, teachers, and other trusted adults — creating shared language around responsibility, confidence, and growth.
Designed for ages 8 and up, the lessons resonate just as strongly with adults, making this a powerful experience for schools, youth programs, family events, and multigenerational audiences who believe in raising strong children into strong adults.
