Lower your stress and maximize your results when you master the art of speaking your truth with funny, motivational speaker Colette Carlson. Only by telling the truth on herself was she able to lose her own fears and addictions that kept her 50 lbs. overweight and making underwhelming choices. One thing she didn’t lose was her sense of humor which is apparent whether she’s sharing her system for success as far away as South Africa or within Success Magazine. As a human behavior expert Colette knows her stuff and has the research, education and personal experience to back it up which is why her clients include Microsoft, Accenture, Cisco, PepsiCo, Boeing and New York Life. After applying the strategies she now teaches, she went into straight-commissioned sales with legend Tom Hopkins and became the #1 sales producer. This led to an opportunity to join Brian Tracy’s International Organization before Colette applied her sales skills in a corporate environment as a National Sales Trainer with US West. In the midst of raising her two daughters, she went back to night school to earn her Masters in Human Behavior which certainly helps now that they’re teenagers! Truth be told, the skills gained in her powerful programs transform relationships which are the backbone to professional success and personal happiness. Whether you’re leading a team or a family, asking a client for their business or a friend for support, when you learn the art of speaking your truth you are free to lead a more authentic, fulfilling, productive life. In addition to Success Magazine, Colette has appeared in both Working Mother and Personal Development publications. Her monthly column, “Tactfully Speaking” is featured in the National Institute of Business Management’s hard-copy publication, in addition to her professional advice column, “Ask Colette.” Colette has been featured on The Success Training Network’s “Made for Success” series, and played a role in motivational movies, "Pass It On" and "Riches: The 7 Secrets of Wealth you Were Never Told". She is a contributing author in: "Conversations on Success", along with Deepak Chopra and Mark Sanborn and "The Book of Riches", along with T. HarvEker, John Demartini and Brian Tracy.
