Today's episode is about a hotly debated phrase. Well, maybe it's hotly debated in your circles or not, but it is in mine. And actually, it's kind of interesting. A lot of the people in my circle currently do not like this phrase at all.  And you know what? I do like it within reason. There's context to me liking it. And I imagine there's context for them not liking it. And we'll talk about that. So, what's this phrase? What is this thing I'm talking about? It is the phrase, FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT.

Michael P. Farrell's Collaborative Circles: Friendship Dynamics and Creative Work (2001) describes how groups of people follow a trajectory from vague dislike of the status quo, to a sharpened criticism of it, to a shared vision (and supporting techniques) intended to displace it. The development of so-called "lightweight processes" in the 1990s can be viewed through that lens. I drag in a little discussion of binary oppositions as used in Lévi-Strauss's Structural Anthropology (1963) and later work.MentionedThe first NATO Software Engineering Conference, 1968The SAGE air-defense networkDavid L.

Welcome to the Angus Warburton podcast! In this episode, I'm happy to have a conversation with my very special guest, Izzy Utterson, who shares her inspiring journey of self-discovery and overcoming obstacles. Izzy opens up about her teenage years, where she struggled with self-esteem and placed her worth solely on her appearance. After being diagnosed with psoriasis, a skin condition that caused her to cover her body, she learned to value herself for other reasons beyond her looks, such as being kind, hardworking, and successful. Throughout the conversation, Izzy shares valuable advice for those struggling with body image issues, emphasizing the importance of self-love and valuing oneself for reasons beyond appearance. She also touches on how she overcame impostor syndrome and the importance of having a strong support system to remind you of your strengths and achievements when self-doubt creeps in. We also discuss the significance of self-belief in achieving your goals, taking things one step at a time, and being patient. We emphasize that seeking validation from others is not the path to happiness or success, and encourage listeners to focus on doing things for themselves and finding joy in the process.  Tune in to this episode for an empowering conversation on self-love, self-belief, and finding joy in the journey.

In this episode, Dan connects with scholar and organizational and leadership development practitioner, Dr. Tom Tonkin, to discuss authenticity and sincerity in the workplace and beyond.  Authenticity is often lauded as a key quality in leadership, fostering trust and building strong relationships within an organization. However, the term itself can be misunderstood and difficult to pin down due to its connection to subjective feelings, emotions, and beliefs. Authenticity is self-referential; overemphasis can lead to issues in the workplace, as individuals may prioritize their own self-expression over the needs of their team or company. Instead, it is important to balance personal authenticity with a broader understanding of the context in which we operate – including the values, goals, and perspectives of others.  Tom and Dan dig into this topic as Tom shares his insights into the problem of focusing too much on authenticity in leadership. He highlights the inherent subjectivity of authenticity, as one person's perception of honesty may differ from another's. Tom argues that while being true to oneself is important, it is equally necessary to consider how our actions and decisions impact others. How? By embracing sincerity, an other-centric approach, incorporating empathy and understanding to forge deeper, more meaningful connections with those around us. Here's what you can expect from the show: Consider the implications of embracing authenticity in the workplace, especially when it comes to relationship-building and leadership. Reflect on the four dimensions of authenticity: internal morality, self-awareness, transparency, and balanced processing. Assess the alignment between your internal morality and the ethics of your workplace or industry. Develop a greater sense of self-awareness to better understand how your actions and decisions impact others. Practice transparency by openly sharing your thoughts, feelings, and motives with your colleagues or team members. Implement balanced processing by considering various perspectives and ideas when making decisions. Evaluate your leadership style and consider how incorporating authenticity might affect your ability to lead and engage with others. Be open to questioning and challenging accepted norms or ideas, such as the concept of authenticity in the workplace. Research and learn from academic studies and theories that can provide valuable insights into workplace practices and behaviors. Recognize that authenticity is not a one-size-fits-all concept and that individuals may interpret and apply it differently. About Tom Dr. Tom Tonkin is a renowned expert on authenticity and sincerity in leadership and communication, offering a unique behavioral perspective on these important topics. With a deep understanding of organizational and leadership development, Tom holds a doctorate in organizational leadership and has spent countless hours researching and analyzing the intricate dynamics of business relationships. He is the founder and CEO of Sales Conservatory, a company dedicated to helping individuals and organizations improve their leadership and communication strategies. Tom's wealth of knowledge and experience in this field, as well as his passion for sincerity, make him a sought-after authority on effective leadership and communication. Notable Quotes “The more I did research on authenticity with the express purpose of relationship building, the more disillusioned I became.” – (2:06) “We can say words but it's actually the recipient that brings those words to life.” – (19:58) “Honesty is the #1 trait of leadership.” – (29:15) “We don't have enough honesty in our leadership ranks.” (34:12) “People say things like that's my truth when the fact of the matter is there is only one truth. – (45:50) “Empathy is an association to feelings; sympathy is a disassociation.” – (1:01:13) Resources and Links  The Dan Nestle Show  The Dan Nestle Show (libsyn.com) Daniel Nestle | LinkedIn The Dan Nestle Show | Facebook Dan Nestle (@dsnestle) / Twitter Dr. Tom Tonkin Dr. Tom Tonkin | Linkedin Dr. Tom Tonkin @DrTomTonkin | Twitter Thomas Tonkin | Facebook Tom Tonkin | 3Sixty Insights   Timestamped summary of this episode: 00:00:00 - Introduction,  Dan Nestle introduces the topic of authenticity and questions its meaning in the workplace. He introduces the guest, Dr. Tom Tonkin, who has researched authenticity and offers a unique perspective on it. 00:03:09 - The Disillusionment with Authenticity, Dr. Tom Tonkin explains his journey with authenticity and how his research on the topic led him to be disillusioned with it, especially in terms of relationship building in the workplace. 00:05:53 - The Context of Authenticity, Dr. Tom Tonkin explores the context of authenticity, tracing its roots back to transformational leadership, and how authenticity can be self-referential, creating potential problems in relationship building. 00:09:16 - The Operational View of Leadership, Dr. Tom Tonkin explains the operational view of leadership, which focuses on the force exerted on followers to achieve a common goal. He also discusses the concept of internalized morality and how it relates to authenticity. 00:16:07 - The Meaning of Authenticity, Dan Nestle and Dr. Tom Tonkin discuss the meaning of authenticity and its importance in the workplace. They highlight the need to balance being true to oneself while also considering the needs of others and the company. 00:17:53 - Authenticity and Leadership Qualities, Tom Tonkin and Dan Nestle discuss the difference between behaviors and qualities in terms of authenticity and leadership. They explore the concept of self-awareness and the importance of transparency and balance processing. 00:19:25 - The Meaning of Words and Authenticity, Tom explains the importance of the meaning of words and how the recipient brings those words to life. He uses the example of authenticity in Mexican restaurants, where different restaurants have different authentic tacos. He emphasizes that authenticity is self-referential and varies from person to person. 00:25:01 - Honesty as a Key Leadership Trait, Tom discusses how honesty is consistently ranked as the most important leadership trait in the book, The Leadership Challenge. He explores why honesty is so highly valued and suggests that it is because people want to trust their leaders and believe that they are on the right path. 00:29:09 - Honesty in Leadership, Dan and Tom discuss the importance of honesty in leadership and how it relates to trust. They explore the idea that there is an honesty problem in many aspects of society, including politics and industry. 00:34:00 - Lack of Honesty in Society, Tom suggests that the more plausible explanation for why honesty is consistently ranked as the most important leadership trait is that there is a lack of honesty in our society, especially in leadership positions. Dan and Tom agree that there is an honesty problem in many areas of society. 00:35:25 - The Problem with Honesty and Authenticity, The conversation starts with a discussion on honesty and authenticity. The guest, Tom Tonkin, explains that honesty can mean different things to different people, and authenticity has the same problem. He also talks about how internal morality defines one's sense of honesty, and how it can differ from one person to another. 00:37:09 - Differentiating Authenticity and Sincerity, Tonkin shares how he was initially disillusioned with the concept of authenticity and turned to sincerity. He defines sincerity as being other-centric and describes his three tenets of sincerity: empathy, purposeful altruism, and demonstrable affirmation. Tonkin also talks about the problem with the misuse of the words authenticity and sincerity. 00:43:46 - Empathy as the Key to Sincerity, Tonkin explains how empathy is one of the core tenets of sincerity and how it plays a crucial role in decision-making. He also shares an example of how he had to lie to his mother, who had severe dementia, about her father's death, and how empathy played a significant role in his decision. 00:48:20 - The Importance of Standardizing Language, Tonkin talks about the importance of standardizing language and the misuse of adjectives and adverbs that alter perception. He explains how words like bad and good can be problematic, as they are subject to interpretation, and how we need to have a standardization of concepts to understand reality objectively. 00:52: - The Continuum of Lies, Tonkin talks about the continuum of lies, where a lie is acceptable if it causes no harm. He also refers to Sabrina Horn's book, "Make It, Don't Fake It," and how she explains the different kinds of lies and when they are acceptable. Tonkin concludes by emphasizing the importance of empathy and sincerity in decision-making. 00:53:15 - Defining Purposeful Altruism, Tom Tonkin introduces purposeful altruism as a concept that goes beyond traditional altruism, which is often questioned for its true motives. Purposeful altruism aims to have a purpose behind the act of giving, with no expectation of receiving anything in return. 00:57:27 - Empathy and the Power of Noticing, Tonkin emphasizes the importance of noticing in understanding empathy. He shares a story about how Alan Alda improved his empathy by noticing people and creating backstories about them. Tonkin highlights the power of empathy to change perspectives and connect with others. 01:02:07 - Demonstrable Affirmation, Tonkin stresses the need for demonstrable affirmation to show sincerity. He suggests that actions speak louder than words and speaks about the importance of doing something to affirm beliefs and show empathy towards others. 01:03:27 - The Ethics of Sincerity, Tonkin differentiates between ethics and morality and emphasizes that sincerity is an ethical play, aimed at bettering someone else's life within a social context. He notes that sincerity is not rainbows and unicorns but involves doing good and affecting good in a social context. 01:07:23 - Sincerity vs. Authenticity, Tonkin contrasts sincerity with authenticity, noting that authenticity is focused on the self, while sincerity is focused on the other. While both may lead to good outcomes, sincerity takes a more direct path and is not focused on self-referential points. 01:09:12 - Authenticity vs. Sincerity, Tom Tonkin and Dan Nestle discuss the difference between authenticity and sincerity. Tonkin argues that authenticity has been overused and has led to problems because people have different value sets. Sincerity, on the other hand, requires getting to know someone and understanding their values. 01:10:13 - The Paradox of Authenticity, Tonkin and Nestle explore the paradox of authenticity. Tonkin argues that if being authentic takes work, then it's not authentic, and this is a paradox. He believes that we need to move away from the idea of bringing our authentic selves to work and focus on being trustworthy, transparent and demonstrating integrity. 01:17:01 - The Abstract Nature of Organizations, Tonkin and Nestle discuss the abstract nature of organizations and how people often talk about things like "the organization thinks" or "leadership thinks" when really it's just the CEO or leadership team's opinions. Tonkin argues that it's important to personalize things and focus on individuals rather than abstract concepts. 01:19:45 - Empathy vs. Compassion, Tonkin and Nestle discuss the difference between empathy and compassion. Tonkin argues that empathy is not always helpful, particularly in a therapeutic context, where a third-party view is often more beneficial. He believes that companies need to focus on interventions based on immutable facts rather than feelings. 01:25:06 - Building Policies based on Immutable Truths, Tonkin argues that policies should be based on immutable truths rather than subjective feelings. For example, companies with boards that have men and women are more profitable than those with only men or only women. Tonkin believes that companies should focus on immutable facts to create policies that are good for business and their employees. 01:26:02 - Treating People Equally, Tom and Dan discuss the importance of treating people equally regardless of race or gender. They also touch on the issue of diversity and inclusion, highlighting the importance of ensuring that qualified candidates are hired regardless of their background. 01:27:18 - Cognitive Truth vs. Feelings, Tom and Dan dive into the concept of cognitive truth and sincerity versus authenticity. They question the validity of feelings as a basis for authenticity and suggest that sincerity is more important in the workplace. 01:28:13 - Book Publication, Tom talks about his upcoming book and the process of negotiating with agents and publishers. He hopes to contribute to a healthy debate on the topic of authenticity and sincerity in the workplace. 01:29:24 - Immutable Truths, Tom and Dan emphasize the importance of honest debate and discourse in society. They hope that people will continue to question ideas and grow, and that sincerity will become a more readily available concept in the workplace. 01:32:25 - Call to Action, Dan encourages listeners to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast, and to share it with their friends. He thanks Tom for sharing his thoughts and contributing to a healthy debate on the topic of authenticity and sincerity in the workplace.

Sabrina Horn is an award-winning CEO, communications expert, and author. Sabrina is an advisory board member to several organizations and founded Horn Group, becoming one of the few female CEOs in Silicon Valley in the early 90's. Her book, Make It, Don't Fake It: Leading with Authenticity for Real Business Success, aims to help executives make the right decisions as they start and grow their businesses for long-term success.Highlights: (THIS IS A REPLAY OF OUR 4TH MOST LISTENED-TO EPISODE)The phrase ‘fake it til you make it' has bred and normalized dishonesty to get ahead, Marcel says. It encourages people to lie or twist the truth for personal gain, which sabotages your success and destroys your reputation. [3:17]“Technology is often misunderstood or not understood,” Sabrina claims. “I made a living out of helping people who would otherwise never meet, connect with each other; and making complex things simple to move things forward. That's essentially an act of love to me because you're making the world a better place that way.” [7:42]Running a business with integrity and authenticity is difficult because taking the shortcuts to avoid that is easier, Sabrina says. By definition, integrity means truth, but the reality is that sometimes truth hurts. “If your product has a flaw and you have to do a recall or if the market's turning sour and you have to do a layoff, that's hard to face,” she remarks. [13:00]Marcel asks Sabrina to discuss why core values and transforming your workplace and brand are important. “My advice to every entrepreneur is to determine what you stand for and what your company has to offer before you start,” she replies. “Think about every business process you'll have in your company and how your values will integrate into them.” [21:00]In recreating and revamping your company culture, you should first elaborate on how your values manifest through the culture and what you will and will not tolerate. You must also lead by example. “I also suggest that leaders overcommunicate with their teams, especially coming out of the pandemic,” she adds. “In the midst of all this uncertainty and doubt, you need to know what is unknown. You need to acquire a bias for information and overcommunicate with your people to remove that uncertainty and doubt.” [25:46]Marcel asks Sabrina how leaders can show love at work. “A leader loves well by creating an environment where values and culture matter, where people feel like they can stay and grow and build their careers, where they feel like they can be themselves… when you give that kind of care [to your people], that ultimately translates into better financial performance, more employee retention, and a stronger brand; all of it pointing to a more successful business,” she responds.

Authenticity at work requires being true to yourself. However, this can be a difficult feat for managers. We often step into the management position believing there is a certain way we must speak and act, or certain knowledge we should now possess simply because we’re leading others, but research shows people respond more favorably to managers who are their true selves. How can managers fulfill their role while being true to their personalities, capabilities, and limitations? Today’s guest is Sabrina Horn. Sabrina is an award-winning CEO, author, communications expert, and advisor. Her career is highlighted by 25 years as Founder, CEO, and President of Horn Group, the iconic U.S. tech communications agency she founded in Silicon Valley at age 29. She is currently CEO of HORN Strategy, focused on helping entrepreneurs navigate the early stages of their companies. She is here today to talk with us about her new book, Make It, Don’t Fake It: Leading with Authenticity for Real Business Success. Sabrina and I talk about imposter syndrome, how to be appropriately authentic, how to overcome your inner critic's fears by acting ‘as if’ and more strategies for being real and amazing at work. Members of the Modern Manager community can get one of five signed copies of Sabrina’s book, Make It, Don’t Fake It. This book offers executives concrete advice on what to do when faced with everyday challenges and big dilemmas, so leaders can make the right decisions and build durable businesses.

Perhaps one of the greatest challenges we all have is presenting in front of others.  So often when it comes to presenting we major on the minors and minor on the majors.  The major of course making sure you are presenting you authentically.  You can have all the presentation skills down pat, but until you realize that YOU ARE THE PRESENTATION it will not make any difference, because nothing substitutes for the authentic you...you simply cannot fake it.  Thankfully for you and I best selling and gold medal winning author Dr. Sharon Lamm-Hartman joins us on A New Direction to talk about "The Authenticity Code". Dr. Sharon's book, "The Authenticity Code: The Art and Science of Success and Why You Can't Fake It to Make It" is an absolute must read for anyone who is going after a new job, selling (B2B or B2C). public speaking, or simply networking.  "The Authenticity Code" will teach you how to find your authentic self so that you are presenting YOU authentically.  The book also gives training in how to read people while presenting and become more adaptable in your presentations.  This book is fantastic!

And we're back with Season 2, Episode Four of the Undeniable Level Up Podcast.  For those who missed our last episode, we discussed Embracing the Suck, where Professor Minh Nguyen, a 3rd Degree Taekwondo and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt discussed how he learned to embrace the suck in his pursuit of not only mastering one, but two martial arts, and how he continues to do this as the owner of Aspire Brazilian Jiu Jitsu School, an affiliate of the Pablo Silva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school, where Crystal and I both train and compete. In life, you'll find that not everything is going to go according to plan.  The reality is that shit happens. The plan you had at 15 is not the plan you have at 21, and it is not going to be the plan that you have at 30.  Why?  Because shit happens.  The one definite thing you can depend on is that shit is going to happen.  And when it does, your success depends 100% on how you pivot from that thing that has derailed you. This is where most people fail.  Your inability to side step a challenge, your inability to get passed a road block, your inability to overcome an obstacle, derails you in a way where you find yourself spiraling, making bad decision after bad decision, until you finally hit rock bottom.  But this doesn't have to be your story. So, you lost job? Okay, time to find a new opportunity. A side hustle.  Oh, your car got repossessed? Okay, time to learn public transportation and find out who your real friends are.  Damn, your home got foreclosed on, okay, time to find a roommate.  None of this changes the fact that it's not time to stop and lick your wounds.  It's not time to cry about what could have been and it's not time to whine about it.  It's time to side step, pivot in a new direction and keep it moving. In some instances, especially when something catastrophic happens you can find yourself needing to pivot into a role that you are unfamiliar with.  And when this happens, you will need to fake it 'til you make it.  That doesn't mean lie on your resume.  It doesn't mean, pretend you're something that you are not.  It doesn't mean, apply for a job you're not qualified for.  What it does mean, is figure out what you need to be successful in this new position you find yourself in, and do what you need to do to become successful. This might mean that you need to learn a new skill, like carpentry or welding.  And although you may be 40 years old and just graduated from welding school, you need to fake the confidence of a 20 year veteran welder when you apply for that new welding position, until being a veteran welder becomes your reality. Maybe you just left the military and you're looking for a corporate executive job.  Fake it 'til you make it, means dress the part, speak the lingo, exude the confidence of a corporate executive, until it becomes your reality.   Maybe you just got out of prison where you spent the last 8 - 10 years paying your dues to society and now your looking for a way to provide for your family.  Fake it 'til you make it means, developing the job skills necessary to create a career, find a mentor who can teach you a path and learn as much as you can, take every opportunity given and do the job assigned to you better than everyone around you, until you are so fucking undeniable in your skillset that being the best is your reality.  Today we are here to discuss how to Fake it Until You Make, and we have a special guest and a very good friend of ours.  AJ Franco.  For those of you meeting AJ for the very first time, AJ is a Supply Chain leader and executive currently residing and working in Northern CA where he leads a Fortune 500 grocery distribution center.  AJ is no stranger to the concept of faking it until you make it and has had his fair share of "shit happening". Paulo Coelho has been quoted as saying "You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. Gradually, you will discover that you are that person, but until you can see this clearly, you must pretend and invent." Does Paulo's approach to faking it seem dishonest or sneaky? When we discuss the act of faking it, what we are truly focusing on is your ability to be confident in an environment where you lack confidence.  We have all been in a situation where we have found ourselves under-prepared and not fully confident in either our preparation, our capabilities, or our knowledge.  When we do find our selves in these types of situations, it important to find that confidence intrinsically.  So when should you not fake it? When you lack knowledge or credentials to perform a job When you are required to be deceitful or dishonest. If you are creating a visual representation of success that is beyond your financial situation If you are creating an environment that will be unsafe or dangerous   Have you ever faked it when you shouldn't have?  How did that work out?  What did you learn from it? Confidence impacts the way others view you.  The way others interact with you and it impacts the way you see yourself.  You are capable of manipulating your brain to think of yourself as more confident.  This rewiring can have a long lasting impact and become second nature for you as you become more and more confident.  We are going to provide you with the 15 ways to level up your confidence so that you too can fake it until you make it.  Has a lack of confidence ever held you back from achieving a goal or accomplishing an objective? The first method is one of my go-to favorites.  Its Power Posing.  You get the opportunity to harness one of your super heroes!  Using positive and empowering body language, like power posing, you are able to get over your fears and stressors.  This can happen when you find yourself in a new and an uncertain environment.  It is a great way to exude and boost confidence.   Power posing was made popular after Amy Cuddy, a Social Psychologist who conducted a Ted Talk where she shared scientific evidence that substantiated that power posing can build confidence and enhance self esteem.  Although today, some psychologist have challenged Amy's findings, they all agree that there is an impact on a person mentally, even if physiologically, there is not much of a change. The second is doing something that you are great at.  It is possible that there will be times in your life when your confidence will waiver of dip.  This happens when you're underprepared for meeting, or you get caught off guard by a question.  Don't allow that uncomfortable feeling to linger longer than it has too.  Go and do something that you are great at and remind yourself that although you don't have the answer to every question, you are good at a lot of things. Have you been in a situation where you lost confidence and how did you recover from it?  What caused the confidence loss?   Thirdly,  is maintain eye contact.  It is a dead giveaway that your confidence is lacking when you have difficulty making or maintaining eye contact.  If maintaining direct eye contact begins to make you uncomfortable or uneasy, a good method to fake it, is to focus on the person's nose or mouth instead.  This gives the impression that you are still engaged and focused. The fourth is manage voice projection, intensity and speed.  A lot can be determined from how you speak and communicate.  Someone who is mumbling or speaking softly will come across as not confident.  When you are feeling like your confidence level is not where it should be, try projecting your voice more.  Also speak slower.  Speaking fast is a telltale sign that you are nervous and lack confidence.  Remind yourself that what you are saying is important and value added.  This will also help reduce the number of filler words you might use when speaking faster than your brain can formulate your ideas, and also help reduce any accidental stuttering. How do you communicate in order to display confidence in that communication?  Have you had challenges here?   The fifth way is dress to impress.  You should always dress for the job that you want not the job that you have when it's practical of course.  You're not going to wear a suit to pick up trash on the highway, but you should take your wardrobe selection serious and wear appropriate fitting clothes.  Wear clothes that make you feel confident.  Clothes that make you look good and feel good. How have you followed this philosophy of "dressing to impress?"  Has this been successful for you? Sixth way is to remember to smile.  People associate a smile with friendliness and positivity.  It makes you approachable and believe it or not, smiling has a positive physiological change.  Frowning on the other hand has the exact opposite impact. Seventh, listen to motivational and uplifting music.  This can include songs that pump you up, or speeches with positive affirmations. This is a great way to put your "symbolic armor" on! How have you used music or positive affirmations to motivate and drive up your confidence? Eighth, practice deep breathing or meditation.  This a great way to calm your mind, control your anxiety and focus on being present.  When doing this try to clear your mind and be present by focusing on your breathes entering your lungs and processing throughout your entire body.  When noise starts seeping into your mind, quiet it again by focusing on being present. How do you work on being present and controlling your energy in moments of high stress, discomfort or lack of confidence? Ninth, loosen up.  You don't want to be too relaxed especially in a professional environment or setting, but being too tense or rigid can be a sign of no confidence.  Ensure you are not clenching your jaw or pulling your shoulders back.   Being tensed can be a sign of anxiety. Tenth, be a good listener.  Being a good listener means you are actively listening.  When someone is speaking, you are making direct eye contact, leaning forward and providing responses to indicate that you are listening.   How do you actively listen?  How do you do that in a tense of challenging environment?   Eleventh, document your victories. Journaling or keeping a diary is a great way to remind yourself of all of your accomplishments.  It allows you to document goals and achievements. Do you keep a journal? Does it help? Twelfth, act as the most qualified person in the room.  If you have the answer to a question, share it.  If you have something to share, then share it.  Ensure that those around you are able to benefit from your knowledge and experience.  Remind yourself that you are value-added to the discussion.  At the same time, if there is something that you don't know, then search for the answer so next time you will be better prepared to answer a question. How have you acted like the most qualified person in the room? Thirteenth, redirect attention in uncomfortable settings by asking questions of others.  Redircting attention away from yourself, pulls you out of the limelight and places focus on others.  It also allows you to learn more about others and build connections. Fourteenth, learn to accept compliments.  Shunning or downplaying your compliments can be a sign of low self esteem and lack of confidence.  Learn to say thank you.  Never deflect a compliment to someone else. How do you deal with compliments?   Fifteenth, learn to love the process.  Do not look at failure as a destination, or a binary act.  Failure is an opportunity to learn and grow,  Embrace a growth mindset and learn from your failures so that you are always slef improving and becoming better today than you were yesterday.  Take calculated risks with the understanding that there will be some failures and that your plan will be to learn from them. How have you learned to love the process? Amy Cuddy says, "Don't fake it till you make.  Fake it till you become it." What is the difference between faking it until you make and faking it until you become it? People, its time to level up. If you're in a situation where you are having to fake it until you make, whether that's in a new job, in school, on a sports team or in a new relationship, then I encourage you to purchase the book, 'How to Fake It Til You Make It', by Shontavvia Shropshire and Kay Young.  This book will provide great examples on HOW to fake it til you make. Let's stop allowing a new environment, or a change in our situation to slow us down from achieving  our goals when working towards our objectives.  Let's begin to work internally on our confidence so that we can bring our best selves to the fight every time.  Whether that fight is in the boardroom, the warehouse floor, the classroom or in a relationship.  Learning when and how to fake it till you make will help boost your confidence, your knowledge and your expertise so that you can achieve success where others may struggle. It's time to level up how we transform ourselves into what we need to become in order to succeed.  Take a step to living a life without limits, a life where anything is possible.    ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Why haven't we been talking about JLo more here? Well, we're about to remedy that—and fill ya in on more, more, more design trends that are speaking to us right now.   The women artist biographies/books Claire will be picking up include Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five PaAnne Truittinters and the Movement by Mary Gabriel, Daybook: The Journal of an Artist by Anne Truitt, and Everything She Touched: The Life of Ruth Asawa by Marilyn Chase.   If you're also looking to do a JLo deep-dive, we recommend reading How to Fake It in Hollywood by Ava Wilder, Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman, the story of the full-page ad Ben took out back when, Vulture's Peoria, Illinois, analysis re: Marry Me, and this GQ article about THE dress. Also, listen to Just Like Us: The Tabloids that Changed America hosted by Clare Malone and watch the music video that Ben made to “On My Way To You” for Jen for Valentine's Day.   In the home-design realm, some inspiration comes from two incredible New Orleans hotels, Hotel St. Vincent and Hotel Peter and Paul.    Fellow lovers of yellow furniture should bask in Billy Cotton space for Grace Morton, Sophie Ashby's giant yellow velvet couch, and this kid's room.    If you're thinking of doing some furniture-painting on your own (inspiration: Matilda Goad's London home!), see Erin Boyle of Reading My Tea Leaves make-over a dresser on IG and read her guides for refreshing trim and kitchen cabinets.    Wood paneling—SO COOL.
