Colette Carlson Quick Facts
Career Focus: Professional Speaker, Author, Business OwnerAffiliation: Member National Speakers Association (NSA)
Colette Carlson, M.A., comes to the platform with over 20 years of experience. After spending 7 years as a top-notch administrative assistant, she found the courage to leave the safety net of a monthly paycheck and step out into the realm of a bold, commission-only sales livelihood. Working for real estate sales legend Tom Hopkins, she quickly ascended to become the #1 sales producer. Her high-flying success led to an opportunity to join sales guru Brian Tracy’s international organization. Mastering these sales strategies led her to become the premier, national sales trainer for US West.
Her sales experience, coupled with being married and raising two teenage daughters, led her to question, “Is there a method to this madness?” The result? A master’s degree in human behavior -- which still managed to leave some questions unanswered!
Today, Colette brings every lesson, module, technique and real-life experience to her role as a nationally-recognized motivational speaker on sales, negotiation, communication and balance. Corporate clients include Microsoft, Boeing, Merck, Cisco, PepsiCo, Chevron-Texaco and ExxonMobil. Her book, Speak Your Truth, is due out in Spring of 2009. She is a contributing author, along with Deepak Chopra and Mark Victor Hansen in the book, Conversations on Success, and writes a monthly column, "Tactfully Speaking" for the National Institute of Business Publications. Colette is also featured in the just-released, motivational movie, "Pass It ON", and recent issues of Success, Working Mother and Personal Development magazines.
Today, as a woman business owner, Colette recognizes that everyday is the perfect day to begin to think it, speak it and live it! Speak Your Truth.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Colette Carlson
The inability to speak your truth, to communicate assertively with strength and sensitivity, costs individuals and companies time, money and sanity. This takes the form of lost wages and opportunities, decreased sales and motivation, and increased stress and misunderstandings.
Too many professionals are still afraid to say what they mean and mean what they say and instead avoid any uncomfortable conversations or situations. Others still won't ask clearly and directly for what they need to be successful or to get the job done, and everyone in the organization suffers as a result!. Let me inspire your team to speak their truth resulting in increased professionalism, efficiency and productivity!
