How to observe before you speak

What you're missing while you're talking. The most intelligent women in the room are often the ones saying the least. They've learned something most people never figure out: the people who win socially, professionally and romantically aren't the ones who reveal the most. They're the ones who notice the most. In this episode, I talk about why ambitious women are especially prone to talking before they've gathered enough information, and why that habit may be costing them in dating, friendships, and their careers. You'll learn: Why charisma creates false positives and nerves create false negatives (and the 3-date rule that fixes this) The one thing to watch instead of listening to what someone says How to use silence as a social tool without coming across as cold Why "potential" is fantasy and "patterns" are reality What to observe when you enter a new workplace before you try to contribute This episode is for the woman who is smart, capable and genuinely putting forward effort, but keeps ending up disappointed by situations that seemed promising at first.
