It is challenging, and it takes time. Try to be yourself and let your thoughts flow naturally. You deserve your love and respect. Speak to yourself with kindness.

Build yourself up. Be able to reflect and assess without tearing yourself down. You are stronger than that mean voice; never let it make you forget that!

• I’ve listened to others connect this gift with me, so how have I used it?

Evy Poumpouras - former Secret Service agent to three presidents and one of only five women to receive the Medal of Valor - demonstrates how we can overcome our everyday fears, have difficult conversations, know who to trust and who might not have our best interests at heart, influence situations, and prepare for the unexpected.

Critical Lessons from the Book

Lesson 1: People lie, don't let it affect you more than it should.

Everyone lies, and we lie pretty often. So, we should learn to take people's lies less personally because that way, we can easily read people.

Lesson 2: Dress Confidently.Lesson

Your clothing can have a powerful impact on how others perceive you, so always consider your audience when picking out your wardrobe.

3: Command respect, don't demand it.

Influence and respect are garnered organically. Demanding respect is often tacky and will get you the opposite reaction. Carry yourself with respect. Respect others and you will find yourself a respected and honoured person.
