THERE'S A BIGGER STORY.
When I started my book tour, people were always asking me, “How are you going to stay humble?”
It’s not easy.
When you start getting recognition, it can go to your head.
But you can’t share your message if you don’t believe in yourself.
It’s a balance.
You need to be confident but also know that it’s not all about you. You are a part of the story, not the whole thing.
For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Brad Lomenick where we explore the tension between confidence and humility.
Brad Lomenick is a renowned speaker, writer, leadership advisor, and founder of Blinc Consulting. He is the author of the groundbreaking book, The Catalyst Leader: Eight Essentials for Becoming a Change Maker, as well as his most recent leadership book, H3 Leadership: Be Humble, Stay Hungry, Always Hustle.
Brad says that the best leaders all have healthy ambition.

There are two things that can make or break you when it comes to achieving greatness: your body language and your confidence.
If you don’t have confidence, you’ll never be able to put yourself out there to the world. You need the confidence to try, and it’s confidence that will help you get back up after your failures.
Once you have the confidence to get out there, your next obstacle is your first impression. Your body language tells someone a lot about you. Sometimes, it may not be what you intended it to say.
Having proper posture, giving people a big smile, and treating everyone like an old friend will go a long way.
These are really important lessons, which is why I wanted to bring you a mashup from Chen Lizra, Jordan Harbinger and Vanessa Van Edwards.
I’ve received such an overwhelming response on the past mashups I wanted to bring you another one.
I really suggest you go back and listen to the episode multiple times. There’s so much great advice from all three of these guests, you can’t absorb it all in one sitting.
Take a new nugget of information each day and apply it to your life.
You’ll quickly learn how not only your life can change, but these tips will also affect the people around you.
So learn how you can master your body language and improve your confidence, on Episode 662.

“MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE THINKING TOO MUCH AND FEELING ENOUGH.”
There is a certain art that I feel had been lost over the years in this country, and you may have noticed it too. It’s the art of seduction.
Let me make one thing clear, when I say seduction I don’t mean unwanted flirting. I don’t mean trying to manipulate someone. True seduction is a lore more than that.
Seduction is about selflessly making other people feel good about themselves. Their bodies, their personalities, and everything about them.
It’s also about being aware of your own body. Owning it, being proud of it, and listening to it.
In America we spend so much time on our phones, we’ve lost that seduction between each other. This is a topic that my guest today, Chen Lizra, is an expert on.
Chen Lizra had a wildly successful Ted Talk on the power of seduction. She’s also an award winning entrepreneur, best-selling author, and a professional dancer.
She learned all about the power of seduction while living in Cuba, where she was deeply inspired by the culture of body confidence there. She was able to see how people were able to really connect with each other, lift each other up, and make a true connection with their bodies.
As a result, she has developed a powerful method of teaching body-awareness called somatic intelligence.
I was fascinated during this conversation as she explained (and demonstrated) these principles and how they impact our relationships, our opportunities, and our self-confidence.
Learn all about the power of seduction in our everyday lives, on Episode 628.
