Colette Carlson--Speak Your Truth: Key Action Steps For Outrageous Results
Each of us has aspirations: goals we want achieved, dreams we want fulfilled, but somehow there’s a divide between what we have and what we want. Closing the gap demands that we put a plan in place today that will last a life-time. In this startling, yet motivational program, Colette unveils her secret process for facing your fears, embracing your weaknesses, and coming face-to-face with what you can do and what you must do to achieve results. It is not enough to simply embrace positive thinking – you must attack with a three-pronged thrust of thinking it, speaking it, and living it. Talking from the heart of her own struggle with self-acceptance, Colette shares that only when she faced the contradiction in her life between what she was saying and what she was doing, did she realize her goals.
