Are you feeling overwhelmed with building your speaking business? Maybe you are thinking that you just aren’t motivated enough to do what it takes to gain new clients or to follow up with old ones.

Tiny Habits® is a three-step process for behavior change. Linda calls this system a breakthrough systematic approach. What is extraordinary about it is there is an emphasis on the fact that it should take no real effort or pain. Linda will share a simple strategy to implement tiny habits into your daily routines to accomplish your goals for your speaking. training, consulting, and/or coaching business.

In this hands-on session, you will learn…

• How human behavior works by applying the Fogg Behavior Model
