You Think You Know – The Secret to Success
Books are written about it. Speakers make lots of money giving seminars on it. Sometimes, the vocabulary used seems to suggest an athletic contest – “Step up!” “Take control!” “Lean in!” But the real secret to success may be something you’ve been taught since you were just a child. Slocum reminds you of that teaching, and gives tangible examples of how it has worked in her own life.
