One of the best pieces of leadership advice I received has been to present your best self ALWAYS. How you show up to your team, fellow leaders, and company stakeholders matters.
I highly recommend reading, Amy Cuddy’s Presence and sharing with your teams. There are several key takeaways regarding OWNING IT and Power Posing that are beneficial.
Here is an excerpt:
There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.”
Are you going to pull your own strings OR are you going to let someone else pull them for you?
