Quick question: what do you think successful people do that the rest of us don't? The usual guesses are grit, a 5 a.m. alarm, or some genius-level IQ. What I saw up close was a lot smaller than that, and a lot easier to copy. Three of the patterns are about how they think. Two are about how they treat people, especially the people who can't do anything for them. And every one is small enough to try in your very next conversation. I'll share the research behind each one. (Including the one that d

Being vulnerable and asking for things is one of my least favorite things to do.

I’ve been in rooms with people operating at incredibly high levels of success: billionaires, celebrities, CEOs running Fortune 500 companies, beauty empires, and people with beyond-belief influence. And I did what I always do. I took notes. Looked for patterns. I asked about their secrets (I truly can’t help myself). Five things kept showing up. I’m now teaching a class on the 5 habits (secrets) of successful people. In this class, I’ll walk you through all five, the research behind each one, an

We’re more connected digitally than ever, but so many people are struggling with loneliness, awkward conversations, conflict, dating, friendships, networking, and simply knowing what to say. Conversation is meant to give people practical tools to change that. So if you’ve been thinking about getting the book, this is the week
