The Secret That Closed a $30 Million Deal in 60 Seconds… Passion

Coach Jim Stroker welcomes you to The R Zone, a podcast focused on the power of response—the space between stimulus and response and the E+R=O mindset.  This episode framed by Maya Angelou’s reminder that people remember how you make them feel.  He shares a storytelling lesson on passion through Harry Winston: after finding an emerald as a child, Winston becomes the “King of Diamonds,” and later sells a $30 million diamond to a sheik not through superior knowledge, but because he loved diamonds more than anyone else. Coach Stroker challenges listeners to identify what they truly love, referencing Joseph Campbell’s “follow your bliss” and Jim Collins’ hedgehog concept (what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and how to make money).  You can always connect with Coach Jim Stroker for speaking events, coaching, and leadership training.  Please subscribe to The R Zone… and check out his book, Huddle Up.
