The Sell True Podcast & Newsletter

Damien's Mindfulness and Resilience Training for sales was a key factor in being able to celebrate wins and work through losses as I navigated my first role in Sales at Thinkific. Thanks to Damien's training it became clear when I needed to step away or how to focus my energy when I was restless about hitting targets. Being able to sort through the highly charged world of Saas sales has enabled me to see success as an individual rep whilst also working towards larger team goals. I feel confident with my team and confident with my abilities!

These sessions have fostered a sense of emotional vulnerability and has helped everyone on our team – especially myself – find the space to share our feelings and grow beyond quantitative metrics. Before joining Damien's team, myself and many team members came burnt out from intense sales environments. These sessions have helped solidify in my mind that burnout is not inevitable when it comes to independent contributor sales roles and has made a lasting difference in indefinitely prolonging tenure in my role.

Mindfulness in Sales has changed the way I empathetically communicate with my clients, teammates, and especially my own self-talk – which I've never seen addressed in a sales environment before and I'm grateful for Damien's contributions.

Damien’s Mindfulness in Sales work with our team has had an enormous impact on my performance but more importantly mental health and reducing the effects of stress and burn out. What I first thought would just be a quick meditation to get us through our Fridays turned out to be one of the best practices I’ve been taught to date to keep my stress from work under control. As sales people we always have our ups and downs, like closing a big deal the last day of the month, or missing your quarter number from a deal that got pushed by the decision maker; but being able to take a step back and recognize how this rollercoaster of work effects your mental health and how to address it has helped me tremendously with making sure I can continue performing, developing, and most importantly enjoying my job.

I learned a lot about emotional and energy regulation, mindfulness tips and ways to achieve a calm, cool head in order to get the most out of myself as a salesperson. It was such an impactful series and I heard many positive testimonials from the rest of the sales team as well.

Working with Damien is an absolute pleasure, and his mindfulness sessions are next level. Working in sales is really hard, and can be an emotional rollercoaster but since Damien started running these sessions its become so much better and manageable. He took our team through weekly sessions where he educated us on best practicies, and on the research in mindfulness. 

I would absolutely recommend working with Damien - as someone who lives and breathes mindfulness in his personal life, and also brings this perspective to his own job in sales, he truly "walks the walk". It is inspiring. Damien reminds you that mindfulness is a consistent practice - you can't change your life if you don't make it a conscious habit!

While I normally tend to shy away from group sessions of this nature, the safe and welcoming space created by Damien helped me open up and truly be more connected to myself and others during our awareness workshop earlier this year. Damien is a compassionate mentor who creates an inviting and educational environment for group participants. He creates a space where there’s no shame: whether you’re willing to be completely open or not yet ready to share.

Through his workshop, Damien guided us each week with new and evolving practices, helping me reflect more on the inner workings of my being. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in one of his workshops.

Damien's Awareness workshops were fantastic at helping me better understand some of the unconscious stressors I experience. It gave me a framework to better support my mind, emotions, and body while dealing with day-to-day work. Damien created a safe environment for everyone to be vulnerable and open with their emotions and thoughts, even in a work setting. Thank you so much for sharing your perspectives and awareness exercises and for facilitating these sessions!"

Damien has been a pleasure to work with. From his evidence-based approach, his focus on working with individual needs, and his compassionate and holistic approach, he's helped me get a greater understanding of how my mind works, has taught me ways to get unhelpful thoughts under control, and has helped me find more moments of joy in my day.
