In this conversation, Karen Kelly, founder and CEO of K2 Performance Consulting and the K2 Sales Academy shares how she found her way into sales and why the pushy salesperson stereotype still holds so many people back. We talk about mindset as the real driver of performance, how emotional intelligence builds trust without weakening the close, and why so-called soft skills often lead to stronger results. 

Karen walks through her three-part approach to getting stalled deals moving again, starting with how salespeople show up mentally before applying tactics or tools. 

This episode takes a practical, straightforward look at selling in a way that feels human, confident, and sustainable.
