Building confidence is a process, not a point in time. It’s an evolution. Or, even a better way to put it—it’s like gong to the gym. If you want lasting results, you must sweat regularly. No one else can do the job for you.
Have you ever been criticized for being “too emotional”? And told that this may be hindering your chances of enhancing your career, or advised that “great leaders know how to keep their emotions at bay”? I have. And for a while there, it made me think that, to succeed, I need to strip myself of …
“The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell, similar to his other bestsellers (which I highly recommend), doesn’t disappoint. Written in his signature style, with multiple real-life stories and examples, it’s quite the delightful and easy read.
