The next day, you’re the life of the Zoom room, making connections and seeing opportunities everywhere. If you are a […]

The Myth of the “Fast Yes” We are conditioned to believe that a “good” CEO is a fast decision-maker. We’re told that “speed of implementation” is the secret to success. But for 50% of the population, being “decisive” in the heat of the moment is actually a recipe for disaster. If you have Emotional Authority, […]

The Phantom Deadline Have you ever finished a massive project, looked at your empty calendar, and felt a sudden, frantic urge to find something else to do?
