Birds Have Wings, Humans Have Books.
I had a client ask me how they can do better with interviews and just presenting themselves.
And my #1 recommendation is simple - be smarter! How? by reading and learning something new every day.
And here's the secret why this works - because most people don't and won't do this. You and I are surrounded by people that stopped learning in high school, if not grade school! They just decided they were done, it was too hard, it wasn't for them...whatever! But this sad truth opens up a huge opportunity for those of us that will at least try to learn a little more.
If you do this, it will give you a competitive advantage and confidence like nothing else.
