Hi, everybody, and welcome to The Right Room where life never stops teaching. I'm Jane Parmel. And I'm Celeste Camps. And we have this vodcast to let you be more comfortable being in the right room. We welcome everybody to come in. If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. This is the right room. This is where you're going to come to find out advice, stories, mind-setting goals that people have had, the troubles that they've had, the challenges that they've faced, and their successes. And that's the most important thing. And success being on whatever level they found it to be. We will be having guests, we'll be having speakers, we'll be having other events besides this podcast, and looking really to expand on what you can focus on, what you can think about with your own businesses. And also looking for people that want to share their stories. So if you have one of the one of your stories, we'd love to have you in the right room as well.

SPEAKER_00 1:35

Yeah, this is going to be very loose, conversational. We are not in the mood to lecture anybody. If anything else, we just want to make this an open forum to have people come on, share their experiences, what challenges they had, what solutions they had. Because I think everybody can relate to the different problems that arise when running a business, whether it is on your own or with a large company, challenges appear. And at one point or another, you're trying to find the answer. And we hope that with this podcast, that we'll give you some interesting tips, tricks, techniques, things to help you move forward in your business.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

And we'd also love to hear from you, you know, further down the road. If you would like if you do something that works that you've heard on this podcast, we would love to hear your results as well.

SPEAKER_00 2:43

Jane and I do different aspects of business. Jane, why don't you tell them what your specialty is?

SPEAKER_01 2:51

My specialty is helping people get out of their own way. Um, what that means is I'm a profit strategist, a profit acceleration strategist. So we are looking to make more money for you to keep it in your pocket where it belongs, so that you can do the things you want to do, so that you can have a better work-life balance, you can fund your educational uh accounts for your kids, your grandchildren, you can have a better retirement, you can have a better lifestyle if you'd like. Um, I know some of my um clients are just looking to open up foundations and charitable organizations. And my saying to them is you can do more with more. So when you have more, and that's what my job is, to make your business make more, you can do more. You can help more people, you can help yourself at home first, and then you can always be ex, you know, benevolent and and give back to your communities, your churches, your your whatever, whatever it is that floats your boat that you really want to promote and and support. Um, so that's what I do. Um, I do most of my work virtually, and I have clients all over the country, and I'm always looking to find out new stories about people and what they do and how they got where they are now. And um yeah, that's what I do. And that kind of segues into what Celeste does because I like to talk and she likes to help people with their communication skills.

SPEAKER_00 4:23

I learned over many years uh the importance of communication, of honing that skill and understanding that that is key to success and whether it's business or relationships, understanding how to get your message out, but also taking the time to hear what other people need. I was in sales for many years, and really for the most part, I let my customers tell me what they wanted and how I could best facilitate their needs. And the biggest compliment I would get is you hear me and you always deliver and many times over-deliver what it is I'm asking for. And and that's huge. I think we're so concerned about getting our sales pitch out and explaining all the benefits, the features, all the bells and whistles without really taking the time to hear what your customers' fears are, what their concerns are, what their future holds. And once you live give them that opportunity, you solidify a relationship because then that customer feels heard. And I find that that works across the board with all of our relationships, whether it's dealing with our coworkers, significant others, our managers, our neighbors, our friends. Communication is, in my opinion, something that is a little bit becoming a lost art. We were talking earlier, Jane and I, about how much gets lost in translation through text and email. And so I am here to fix all of it.

SPEAKER_01 6:11

And she starts out in little pieces and she makes you understand exactly where the focus should be when you are engaged with somebody and when you um have to hear the the verbal clues, cues, clues, cues, same thing, uh, verbal cues and as well as as um the nonverbal cues that people uh express themselves in. It's so funny, you know, we we go back to um how you how you how you sound, how you how you are approachable, uh that know, like and trust that that coaches and consultants and people that are in the service business always look to get that level because there's nothing better than a word of mouth um recommendation. Um that being said, first impressions, all of those things are things that Celeste um helps you helps you really hone and polish to a point where it's seamless, it's it's effortless. Um and she teaches you those those tricks and and and gets gets the job done.

SPEAKER_00 7:14

Um that's why we work well together. We we approach business and different aspects of it.

SPEAKER_01 7:21

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 7:22

But the focus when it comes together, it really does amazing growth for yourself and for your business. And so that's what we want to bring to the right room. And as Jane was saying, we're going to have other speakers on, other experts. And we hope that you join us. We hope that you see value in what we're doing. And we are always looking at the comment section to find out what you would like us to focus on next.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

And you know, when we have our guests on, we have we have people that are uh signing up now all over the uh the spectrum, the work spectrum, the the community spectrums, um, we have intuitives, we have creatives, we have uh CPAs, we have um business owners, entrepreneurs, serial entrepreneurs, all different types of people that literally, you know, you may think that um, you know, we're looking to to promote this with everybody. And you may want to get on a listening binge with with some of our podcasts and say, well, you know, that person's a CEO. I'm not a CEO. Uh I I own a business, you know, but I'm not really a CEO. He's he's CEO of a multi-million dollar blah blah blah. Be very surprised that sometimes those, you know, CEOs that you think you would never be considered in the same realm with have similar stories to what you have, situations you've gone through, uh, problems you've faced, and they've figured out a way. Um, maybe it's not a quick fix, maybe they're gonna tell you it's gonna take a little bit of time, but they'll be here to tell you their story and then offer you what they did, what solutions worked for them, what didn't work for them. Um, and you get an idea of it's not just about succeeding or failing. There's that gray area, there's a very big gray area. And when you can educate yourself and be around people that will raise you, that's key. In the right room, that's what we want to do. We want to make sure that everybody is raised up by the information that you get here. Um, that you leave here feeling like, you know what, maybe I don't need that right now, but maybe sometime in the future, maybe I'll come back and revisit this. Um, maybe it's something you're thinking about, maybe it's something that you have in future plans. But we we want to make sure that you leave here with some valued um takeaway that helps you in the course of a day, a month, a year, whatever.

SPEAKER_00 10:12

So we hope you join us. We're going to be sharing our own stories and our own challenges along with different guests. So, again, my name is Celeste Camps.
