How to be Smarter: In my experience, people with real power don’t need to act authoritative; it is the people who are insecure about their power that often feel the need to act bossy. I wouldn’t worry about what the loudmouth person screaming their opinions thinks of you; I would care more what the quiet person taking notes in the corner thinks of you. The chances are very real that the quiet person has more power.

How to be (less) Awkward: If I’m trying to decide whether to do something, I imagine what I will feel like if miss the chance to take the opportunity. For example, I imagine the person I’m thinking of talking to at a party walking out the door, or someone else taking my place at a dinner. If I don’t care when I imagine the opportunity leaving me, I move on.
As always, just what I needed to read. Girlfriend, you’re a rockstar. XO
LOVE the Smarter. It’s a great psychological tip to keep in mind for all work-related situations.
Great post over at AllState. My younger cousin is 14 years old, and we have a very close relationship (often times I think of her as my little sister). Often, when I write a blog post or have conversations surrounding body image and beauty, I try to imagine what she would want to hear, and what I want her to learn about body-confidence. People are listening and looking even when you don’t think they are!
