Recommendation from Dr. Gina Poe
Recommendation · Mind
Deep breathing is a way to calm the fight-or-flight (sympathetic nervous) system before going to sleep, which matters because going to bed anxious or hyped up can make sleep maladaptive.

Recommendation from the speaker
Recommendation · Mind
Do a deep dive to hone in on the core drives of your motivation archetype to find where your day's tasks are out of sync with what drives you. If your day's tasks are out of sync with what you really love, identify the mismatch between your tasks and your core drives.

If you can't get a motivation need met in your business, meet it in another part of your life. If you're a craftsperson whose business requires networking, spend time doing something crafty in your private life so the maker in you gets airtime. Find a place for the thing you love doing in the world, even if it just might not be in your business right now.

Charisma on Command · The Real Secret to Having Aura (It’s Not What You Think)
Recommendation from Charisma on Command
Recommendation · Mind
Genuine curiosity is disarming: disrespectful people expect reaction or debate, not curiosity and connection. Ask open questions to understand their point of view even if you don't expect to agree, then give them space to answer without interrupting. The right questions can uncover the source of their disrespect — sometimes people lash out simply because they're having a bad day — and listening gives you a chance to build real connection. This comes most naturally if you're the empathetic charisma type.
