Review
This is a different book from the kind I ‘normally’ read, but I found myself smiling and nodding in agreement with much of the content as I read.
The book contains great advice, I loved that there are practical activities to do! The chapters are easy to follow and I liked that you can dip in and out, a chapter/step at a time, it is probably best to read over a length of time and truly involve yourself in the teachings and techniques before moving on.
For anyone that wants to be able to be more confident at presenting themselves in meetings, conferences, etc then this book is for you!
My biggest takeaway from reading the book is that it is ok to be you! You don’t need to try and change aspects of yourself to get everyone to like you. Some people will, some people won’t. I feel that even just accepting that is a step forward and progression for me.
