Looking to level up your life?

Ever wondered what that elusive X factor is that distinguishes the likes of Queen Elizabeth, Elizabeth Taylor, or James Bond?

Join me, Erin Olson, on our journey for the answer! We dive into the world of refinement and class, not as markers of wealth or fame, but as that subtle difference in how you carry yourself in the face of adversity. This episode is an exploration of class acts that you can incorporate into your life to elevate your personality.

In our discussion, we tackle a range of topics: from learning how to handle criticism with grace, to expressing your opinion in an uplifting manner. We explore the significance of listening more and talking less, taking inspiration from none other than Mark Twain.

Then, we touch on the world of social media and the art of dealing with negative opinions. While all these may seem like small behavioral modifications, adopting them can truly enhance your life quality and help you achieve that sought-after 'class act' status.

This episode is your guide to embracing refinement and class to leave a lasting impression on everyone you meet. Tune in now, and let's begin this journey together!

Homework:
1. Do not engage with those who criticize you with anything other than "Thank you."
2. Only voice your opinion when asked, and if it builds someone up.
3. Speak less, listen more.
4. Pause at least 4 seconds before responding, never interrupting the person speaking.
5. No gossiping.
