Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

Confidence is the natural result of being plugged into ourselves and taking responsibility, feeling a sense of control for our environment. Self-consciousness is the opposite of being anchored in our values, because we're more worried about what other people think than what we think. That's Chris Lipp. He's a renowned communications professor and persuasion expert whose work has appeared in media outlets such as the Harvard Business Review, Forbes and Fast Company.

His new book, The Science of Personal Power, How to build confidence, create success, and obtain freedom reveals how to bridge the science of inner well-being with the science of outer achievement by developing personal power. So you'll learn one, how to end self-consciousness, two, a five-minute ritual to prime your power, and three, two behaviors that naturally earn you respect.
