Don't bring your authentic self to work. I want your professional self. You can bring your authentic self to
00:00:04
Thanksgiving meal with your family if you'd like to. Your authentic self is about who? Me, me, me, me, me.
00:00:10
Everything is what's happening to me. What's in it for me? Do you know that you impact other people? You affect
00:00:16
other people's lives. You make the work environment easier or more taxing. Can someone learn to be a better
00:00:21
self-regulator of their emotions? Yeah. So, I've been around former SEALs, US Secret Service presidents, and I
00:00:27
learned a lot about communication, reading people, confidence, and I'll share these things. So, first of all,
00:00:33
confident people, they had a really good circle around them, inner circle, because if you're exposing yourself to
00:00:38
people and environments that are not good for you, that will actually impact your life negatively. You know, I always
00:00:43
say be careful who you try to save. Some people will drown you. And then the other thing I would see presidents do is
00:00:48
they were very good at delegating. So they didn't need to know everything because confident people are okay with
00:00:53
not knowing all the information. So your brain is like a bathtub. The bathtub can
00:00:57
only hold so much water. If you keeping water in the bathtub, it's going to overflow. That's your cognitive load. My
00:01:03
bathtub only holds the water it needs to hold in. And another thing that the Secret Service has taught us is that
00:01:08
it's really important to use your hands because when people don't see hands, it's a sign of untrustworthiness. Like
00:01:14
you can't trust them. So when you see hands, open hands, I'm no threat. And then there's communication skills,
00:01:19
manipulation, tactics, and strategy to make good decisions. And I will go through them.
