It is human nature. When we feel threatened or scared our brains go into protection mode overwhelming us with the desire to run, freeze or fight. This is an instinctive reaction to potential danger that has been part of our neural network since we were cave people. Now... Is there anything more dangerous than a [...]
I spend my days revealing to students and clients the best parts of themselves. Helping them to recognize how their uniqueness matters to employers. As I coach people for their job interviews, preparing them to share their talents with potential employers, clients will often say, “I feel like I’m bragging. It’s so uncomfortable talking [...]
