Have you been yearning to be heard, seen, taken seriously?
"Why are people so complicated?"
You know what you want, and you're smart enough to get there.
But sometimes you're afraid to speak up. You can't upset your client. You don't want to demotivate your team members. So you keep going back and forth in your mind. You're a star at rehearsing conversations in your head — 100 versions in just one (sleepless) night. Even your mailbox is full of unsent email messages (written in anger or frustration).
Other times, you just say it. Blurt it out (where did that come from?) Straight to the point. You've been called opinionated. People know what you think. So why are they still not behaving the way you'd like them to?
Impact is not some magical quality that some people have, and others don't.
Impact is the result of adopting some simple but powerful habits, that anyone can learn.
