Summary

Who do you project yourself to be? It’s an important question if you want to convince someone of something. This episode begins with a look at how people judge your recommendations and proposals and so much of it has to do with who you appear to be. Source: Robert Mayer author of the book Power Plays (https://amzn.to/3BWHKzy) Setting boundaries with the people in your life and getting them to respect those boundaries can actually make your life easier and more enjoyable. That’s according to Melissa Urban who is an expert on setting boundaries and is author of The Book of Boundaries: End Resentment, Burnout, and Anxiety --and Reclaim Your Time, Energy, Health, and Relationships. (https://amzn.to/3BVoxOF). Listen as Melissa explains how to set boundaries with people without offending them and she gives you the actual scripts to say to make it easy to do. We all face big decisions in life. And a big problem is often that we fail to make them. We put them off or decide not to decide even when those decisions can have a major impact on your life. Making a decision isn’t just about which choice to make, it is also about the timing of when you make it and how you implement your decision. Here with some great advice on the topic is Dr. Neil Shortland. He is a leading expert on military decision making and has worked with the Department for Defense and National Institute for Justice. He has also served as an international expert on security and has been an expert witness on court cases involving decision making. Neil is author of the book Decision Time: How to Make the Choices Your Life Depends On (https://amzn.to/3Ef7fPc). Whether or not you get a good night’s sleep can depend on your sleep environment. And there is one simple thing you can do tonight before you go to bed that can help you sleep so much better.
