Mike Carruthers:
Changing your life for the better, how do you do that? One way is called the do good, be good approach.

Tim Wilson:
Which is kind of counterintuitive but it suggests that sometimes the best way to edit our stories is to change our behavior first. That if we act like a person we want to be that our story follows that rather than preceding it.

Interview with Kristi Hedges, author of the book The Power of Presence: Unlock Your Potential to Influence and Engage Others

________________

Mike Carruthers:
Presence it’s a hard concept to define and yet…

Kristi Hedges:
We’re all experts at other people’s presence. We know when someone walks into the room we can almost feel what their presence is and what their command is of a room and the energy that they bring into the room. However if someone says to you, “What’s your presence?” you’re probably going to stumble a little bit in trying to describe it.

Mike Carruthers:
Zig Ziglar, the famous sales consultant, once said that many people are afraid of their own dreams.

Ron Brown:
And when I first heard that I was really surprised but the more I thought about it I believe it's true and the reason people are afraid of their own dreams is because their dreams lie outside of their comfort zone.
