It all started with Nana.
Have you ever seen the movie My Big Fat Greek wedding? If not, it's a movie about a huge, loud, complicated immigrant family: just like mine.
(Except for instead of pita bread, we eat potatoes. All the ways, all the time.)
My grandparents came over on a boat from Ireland here to the U.S. when they were young, where my grandfather found odd contractor jobs and Nana somehow raised FIVE children.
I remember once asking her “how in the world did you do that?”
Nana replied “Well love, when times got tough, 'twas the gift of gab that got us through.”
So The “gift of gab” is what you see when you’re with someone who presents themselves, their ideas, their stories, their POV, and especially their requests in a such a way that you cannot help but be persuaded to care, to want to hear more, maybe even to say yes.
Now, according to Irish legend there are two ways you can unlock your own “gift of gab”
option one, you can travel back to Ireland and kiss an ancient, mythical, pretty dirty old stone which will magically grant you this superskill OR option two, I can teach you.
Using the "gift of gab" aka the power of persuasion learned from Nana, I started my career as a 100% commission-only sales rep. One thing lead to another, and I started two companies (one which was featured in Forbes!) both of which were completely exhausting, EXPENSIVE disasters.
Finally, I launched my third attempt from my kitchen table and grew my agency from one client to helping some of the world's biggest brands communicate more compellingly. Over the last 15 years, I've trained and coached thousands of executives and sales professionals- everyone from VISA to Disney to Adobe to even the Oscars and the United States Navy! They've all used my PUB Method™ to get more yes online, offline, and all the time.
Now? My mission, my passion, #MyWhy is to help YOU do the same.
According to Irish legend, there are two ways you can unlock your own “gift of gab."
Option #1: you can travel back to Ireland and kiss an ancient, mythical, pretty dirty old stone which will magically grant you this super-skill
OR Option #2: I can teach you.
The gift of GAB?
Yep, the “gift of gab” is what you see when you find yourself with someone who presents their ideas, their requests, THEMSELVES- in a such a way that you cannot help but be persuaded to care. You find that you actually WANT to hear more. You might even find yourself saying "YES."
