It’s well known that good communication is the foundation of any successful relationship, whether personal or professional. It's important to recognize, though, that it's our nonverbal communication—our facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture, and tone of voice—that speak the loudest. The ability to understand and use nonverbal communication, or body language, is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships.

Leading is all about influence. How you present yourself in a leadership role affects your ability to successfully leverage authority and motivate others. Do you inspire people to follow your lead?

The House of Windsor has a new addition!  On May 2, 2015, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge was born at 8:34 a.m. London time.  With the given name Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, the Princess entered into this world with as much pageantry and fanfare as one would expect for a royal. Following the birth of Princess Charlotte, many landmarks were lit pink including Tower Bridge, London Eye, and the Trafalgar Square.  One thing is certain, the British love their monarchy!

Of note, Princess Charlotte is scheduled to be christened on July 5, 2015 at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham by Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury.  Coincidentally, this is the same church in which Princess Diana was baptized.

On this episode, I have two royal experts as my guests to discuss everything from Princess Charlotte's lineage to her upbringing.  If you are a fan of the British royals, you won't want to miss the episode.  And even, if you're not, listen anyway to become one!
