This time last year, I was staring at my to-do list, procrastinating like a pro. I was terrified, you see. I’d received an email months previously from a well-known business woman (via her assistant), inviting me to interview for a position with her. At the time I had done what Read more…
This morning I went live on Facebook to talk about how to be more confident. I’ve struggled a lot with my own confidence, and over the last few years I’ve really improved on where I used to be. I thought I would share some tips to help people who are Read more…
