Inspiration Through Acceptance - Erik Eklund, Founder of Connecting Humans, Leadership Speaker

Have you ever wondered how to be inspiring? Why are we drawn to inspirational people and what about them makes us inspired to create change in our own lives.

Erik isn't a trained sales person but people are drawn to him because of his inspiring story and I wanted to dig into the concept of inspiration and also accepting people and opportunities for who and what they are.

Erik Eklund is a corporate leadership speaker and founder of Connecting Humans. He speaks to crowds to encourage them to do what they believe it and not to judge each other due to our differences.

He looks different than most people from Sweden. That's because his parents adopted him from Columbia where he was found by a man on the doorstep of a church.

He doesn't set out to be inspiring, he sets out to be honest and share what he believes in. He'll help you find the things in your life that might be inspiring to others. You'll also learn a mindset that will help you not only sell like a human but you'll find inspiration from your own story and connect with humans because of it.

About the Podcast

Sell By Being Human
We all want to be heard, seen, and understood. This podcast shares stories of how all humans sell just by being great humans.
I believe that all people want to be heard, seen, and understood. But how do we get people to hear, see, and understand us effectively? Salespeople train themselves on techniques to do this but there are people doing it well without the word sales showing up anywhere in their job title or job description. This podcast is designed to help us hone our human skills, understand subtle similarities between non-sales people and salespeople, and show how we can learn from both groups the next time we need to create change and sell by being human.

You will learn from people throughout all walks of life. Nurses, coaches, janitors, event planners, HR executives, and architects. Just to name a few. We'll contrast them with trained sales people to show similarities and differences. There's an art to human connection and sales. We all do it differently and we can all learn from our every day human interactions.

Please contact me and let me know who you see in your life selling by being human! I want to shine a light on them.
