EFT tapping, a technique for reprogramming the subconscious mind, has shown promise in breaking through barriers.   Sometimes, unexpected opportunities or career transitions can lead to discovering a fulfilling path. Being open to new experiences and taking time to reset and explore different avenues can yield surprising outcomes.   While not explicitly defined in the conversation, there is a distinction between recruiters and headhunters.

She is the author of the book called Quietly Powerful where she talks her own experience and that of Quietly Powerful Leaders who have achieved great success while staying authentic.   Women’s Leadership Success 107 Summary: Quietly Powerful Women Leaders What is a Quiet Powerful Leader look like? Quiet Powerful Leaders are not always in the public unless they have to. They are also very humble and purpose-driven leaders. As discussed in Quietly Powerful book, quietly powerful women leaders have three attributes: Comfortable with their own skins that they can share their strengths and weaknesses. They believe it’s a collective effort to get things done and they do not treat themselves as center of control or center of power. They’re present when interacting with others. They connect deeply with their people and not treat their relationship as a transactional kind. This kind of attribute really speaks how great listeners they are and how they really tap into understanding their people. Quietly Powerful Leaders are very purposeful. They don’t like the center of attention and some of them are reluctant to become leaders or get promoted. The only reason why they stepped us is because they developed a sense of purpose that was greater than themselves and felt like they can contribute to that. Quiet VS Quietly Powerful Quiet People most of the time just disempower themselves. They use their quiet nature as an excuse to not engage because they feel like they will not be heard. So they just hold back and that is disempowering. On the other hand, Quietly Powerful Leaders use their nature more deliberately. They stay quiet when it is useful and they speak when they need to. Shifting from Quiet to Quietly Powerful A process of awareness building. First, one must appreciate themselves fully, take good and the bad, appreciate the strengths and the weaknesses. Second, adapt purposefully on a situation or role that requires you to attend training and seminars to be much more effective in the job. By adapting purposefully,
