This week, we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the one and only Scott Schilling, the Authentic Connector himself!&nbsp; Scott's a powerhouse of experience, with over 35 years of coaching, speaking, and leading, and he brought some serious wisdom to the table.So, what's the one thing Scott wishes he could tell his younger self?"When things are really good, they don't stay really good forever. Get out ahead of it. Utilize the really good to make sure your life is always really good."Preach, Scott!&nbsp; This resonated deep, especially as we're all navigating those seasons of learning, growth, and harvest.&nbsp; It's all about recognizing the cyclical nature of life and planting those seeds for the future.But let's talk about the meat and potatoes - the heart of Scott's message: building authentic relationships that drive real results.Scott emphasizes the importance of respect, honor, and dignity, reminding us that we don't have to agree with everyone to treat them with kindness.&nbsp; His key takeaway?&nbsp; "You can have everything in life you want when you help enough other people get what they want."Powerful, right?&nbsp; It's about serving others from a place of genuine care.He also dives into the importance of trust, and how to build it quickly and efficiently.&nbsp; From his experience selling millions of dollars worth of product from stage, he shares practical tips:<ul><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Smile! It costs nothing and instantly impacts two lives.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Ask questions.&nbsp; Show genuine interest in the other person.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Be authentic.&nbsp; People can feel it when you're not being true to yourself.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Share stories.&nbsp; Connect on a personal level.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Offer solutions.&nbsp; Help people solve their problems.</li></ul>And let's not forget about empathy.&nbsp; Scott clarifies the difference between empathy and sympathy:<ul><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Sympathy is feeling bad for someone.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Empathy is stepping into their shoes and truly understanding their situation.</li></ul>He emphasizes that "I understand" can often come across as condescending.&nbsp; Instead, try "I can appreciate your situation."Scott also shares a powerful tip for effective communication: Listen twice as much as you talk.&nbsp; He reminds us to be present in our conversations and actively seek to understand others' perspectives.Finally, we tackled the topic of setting boundaries. Scott believes in giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, but also stresses the importance of having clear boundaries.&nbsp; He suggests:<ul><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Be upfront and honest. Don't be afraid to politely decline offers that don't align with your values.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Lead with your heart.&nbsp; People can sense authenticity.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Remember that today's activity determines tomorrow's results.&nbsp; Don't let a few bad calls define your whole experience.</li></ul>Ready to soak in more of Scott's wisdom?&nbsp; Head over to TWGfreegift.com to download his first book, Talking with Giants: Powerful Leaders Share Life Lessons.&nbsp; You'll find inspiring stories from amazing leaders who share their journeys of becoming "uncool to cool" and how they give back to the world.This episode is a reminder that building authentic relationships and serving others is not just a good thing to do - it's a key to unlocking true success.&nbsp; We're grateful for Scott's insightful words and hope you enjoyed this episode as much as we did!What were your favorite takeaways from this episode?
