Hi Reader Hope you are having a great weekend. I want to share a quick bite that you can use in your next meeting at work or at home (If you are creative enough, you can use it anywhere). If I had only 5 seconds to give you one piece of advice before a big presentation... what would I say? "Be confident." Nope, I won't say that.

Have a powerful week ahead!

It's wonderfully written as a modern day parable) that reassured how I think about work and life: "Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you...
Hi Reader You’ve seen this, right? A speaker gets up — in a meeting room or on Zoom — and just starts. (I saw someone doing this and couldn't resist highlighting the problem and some simple ways to fix it. So you know where the inspiration for this newsletter came from!) No “hello,” no warm-up — just: “Alright, when you’re giving feedback, the first thing you need to do is…” Meanwhile, the audience is still shifting in their seats, wrapping up an email, or trying to figure out if this is...
