I’ve worked long and hard my whole life. And I continue to keep on hustling because I’ve got ambitious goals. I’m committed to inspiring people to lead wherever they are in life and with the tools they already have at their disposal so that they can advance to their next level. I want to help…
Everybody talks. And every body talks, too. We don’t even need to say a thing because our bodies can reveal details about our thoughts and feelings in a flash. As social psychologist Amy Cuddy says, “We make sweeping judgements and inferences from body language.” Good body language–in the form of a calm face or friendly…
It’s easy to get bogged down by work and deadlines and place value on everything around you rather than on yourself.
