Tweetable Comments "Don't self-filter and be apologetic about something. It is what it is. "If you are not confident about the things that you don't like about yourself, you are giving people ammunition to also dislike you. Just own it." "Magic happens in momentum." "The magic won't happen if something is standing still. You need other things to happen for the reaction to happen, which equates to magic."

What gets mistranslated the most when you are working with executives? Paru: Intention. And that applies to everyone. People are often so busy thinking about themselves, what they mean, and what they think other people are hearing that they miss how the message is actually landing. I do not mean that in an arrogant way. No matter how senior you get, it is the same stuff with more at stake.

We are all human. The stakes just get higher. How Childhood Shaped Her Ability to Read People Erin: I saw in another interview that when you were asked what time in your life you would ...
