HERE ARE SOME QUOTES FROM JIM CATHCART THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO SHARE:

Cathcart on Relationship Intelligence®:

“The more intelligently you choose, create and grow the right relationships the greater your success will be. Relationship Intelligence® will have more impact on your life that IQ or even EQ.”

Cathcart on Embracing Change:

“Change comes from you or to you. Either way, your business doesn’t advance until you do. Learn to re-examine your thinking, your skills and your goals every day. Become the person who would attract the results you seek.”

Cathcart on Intelligent Motivation:

“Self motivation means getting yourself to do what needs to be done whether you feel like it or not. That is what separates  the achievers from the followers.”

Cathcart on High-Value Relationships:

“Your life is a series of relationships. The higher the percentage of High-Value Relationships, the greater your prospects for success. Turn each of your relationships into a High-Value Relationship.”

Cathcart on Strategy:

“To embrace change and sustain growth, people require the right: Mindset, Skillsets and Systems.

All of these must grow from the Strategic Purpose of the organization.”

Cathcart on Leadership:

“If you can’t lead yourself, you are not ready to lead others. All leadership must begin with self leadership.”

Cathcart on Public Speaking

“In speaking it is not the speaker, the presentation nor the message that matters most.

What matters most is: The Value The Audience Will Get By Listening To And Applying Your Message”

Cathcart on Sales & Service:

“The purpose of selling is to build profitable relationships. Without relationships there are only transactions and every day is just as hard as the one before it. With stronger sales relationships every day will be easier, more profitable and more fun!”

Cathcart on Growth:

“Nature never stands still, Neither can a business. A business is a living system. We must continually grow as people, as an organization and in our capacity to serve our constituents. When we stop growing we start to rot.”

Cathcart on Customer Loyalty:

“Customer loyalty is something you should Give rather than merely seek to recieve. It is best earned by staying loyal to your customers over time even when they don’t seem loyal to you. Then they always feel connected with you.”

This podcast was recorded by iLearningGlobal.tv in 2008. It is 22 minutes long but I don’t think I’d change a minute of it even if I were recording anew today.

I talk about how to face tough economic times, how to build a big career even when you are starting with virtually nothing, and much more. In it you will hear my personal story and feel my enthusiasm about what is possible for YOU.

Please take the time to listen to this message and share it with others who could use a boost of motivation or confidence. I want to be a resource for you in all the ways that I can. Then drop me a note and let’s stay connected.

I just got off the phone/computer from one the most enjoyable calls I’ve ever made.

Stephanie Charl Schule, a colleague of mine in Hannover, Germany invited me to address a meeting of the folks who are involved in iLearningGlobal.tv there. It was 5pm for them and 8am for me. So I was able to make the call from my computer by simply plugging in an external microphone and using the built in camera on the screen.

As my regular readers know, I’m one of the founding faculty of iLearningGlobal.tv and many of my training videos are featured on their website worldwide. When Steffi contacted me she said that I had many followers in Germany and she’d like to have me address their meeting via Skype call.

Her husband, Paul-Martin Schule, called me and confirmed our connection and the next thing I knew I was looking at Steffi in front of her computer screen with a large screen in the background showing ME! They had a meeting room with about 60 people in attendance and she had it set up to show me on a large screen while she interviewed me. We also took questions and comments from the audience. The sound quality of the connection was excellent.

Here is what the video looked like to them:

Steffi had sent me an outline of probable questions that she would ask me and I sent her my replies to each, so that she could translate the answers into German in advance of the meeting.

During the meeting as I answered each question and told short stories to illustrate, I would pause occasionally so that she could do a live translation for those who didn’t speak English. It really worked. The audience broke into applause on a number of occasions and seemed to truly connect with my message.

At the end of the event we took a little diversion when she asked me how I kept myself motivated. I showed her my guitar, one of two that I keep in my office. Then she asked me to play it. I played a piece of a song and she said the audience wanted more. So I played and sang my own song, Riding Free, plus a John Denver and a Neil Diamond song. They sang along with me, from the other side of the world! That produced much applause and laughter on both sides of the ocean. Great fun!

I asked her to turn the computer around so that I could see the audience and when she did, they gave me a standing ovation! It truly touched my heart. What a wonderful way to connect with people and a perfect way to start this day. By the way, today is the birth date of Cavett Robert, founder of the National Speakers Association. NSA members nationwide are encouraged to spend this day coaching and training others to become better communicators. Tonight I’ll be speaking as keynoter for the 75th anniversary banquet of the Toastmasters International Ventura California club. Thanks for following my blog and please let me know when I can be of service to you.
