While she wasn’t a natural salesperson, Yasmine Khater’s life circumstances meant she needed to start selling her artwork as a teenager to fund her passion. Since that first instance of choosing what she loved over what made her uncomfortable, she’s lived a trajectory of courageous choices.
She now advises Fortune 100 companies, small businesses, and entrepreneurs on transforming their sales using psychology and storytelling. She’s launched several businesses, is a TEDx speaker, and lives life to the fullest.
Hear Yasmine’s take on:
- Embracing the “sh*tty first draft” approach to overcome the discomfort associated with trying new things
- The importance of pivoting and not letting circumstances get you down
- Advice for people feeling ‘stuck’ in their career
