Want to know my secret for lighting up every room?

My secret to cultivating contagious energy and confidence? I critique myself.

Every day, I reflect on yesterday. I review my actions—as a facilitator and as a friend.

If something didn’t align with who I am, I notice it. If it did, I notice that too.

This practice reinforces the mental circuits I want and reshapes my identity.

Culture trains us to be quiet, passive, or pretentious. My self-critique practice overpowers that programming.

So go ahead—program yourself.
