“Some of the skillsets that they learn don't feel authentic, and so they don't want to do it. If they can learn a way to do it that feels in integrity and that feels natural, that's the first part. The second part is if they've had rejection over and over, now we have an internal issue. It's like they have sales trauma that we have to work through. Then the imposter syndrome and the confidence thing is a real thing. I really believe that if we don't do internal work, how are you supposed to be in a conversation leading somebody else to make a decision when you can't lead yourself and make decisions in your own life? I think it's absolutely a two-part thing.” - Kayla
