What I loved about #becomingbulletproof #book is The #SecretService agent #EvyPoumpouras protected several #USA #presidents - they always behaved in a presidential way, polite, always listened no matter who required their attention, they never felt #intimidated or down They never made the other person feel bad, wrong or rushed It made me remember what Simon Cowell goes on about 'Make me feel #important' π€ Or a sentence I once heard: Don't let anyone come anyone near you WITHOUT making them feel better - quite a #challenge indeed! π Evy made me reconsider the way I answer to people. 'Hold space for others' as #DonnaGiffen says π Coming back to the book, I also loved how she explained how to catch someone who is #lying, how she fought hard to win her place at work, how we are #primed & her most #heartbreaking message in the end 'we must bear the #unbearable' ππ’ How essential is the power of #empathy, of #listening without #attacking ππ» She taught me the 3rd missing human response, #fight #flight #freeze responses & how we have to pay attention to which one is our default, & work on it π She talks about preserving the student's dignity, in short, you would have to read it all, if you wanted the full insight, you will not regret it π Best of all, I love how she is small yet #powerful, she has #Greek roots & I appreciated her #honesty in her #writing - I did wonder if she'd get in trouble! (all clear!) I agree a good pick up movie is 'Rocky'! π₯ I can't remember much about 'Gladiator' but I love the song 'Now we are free' π I found her by chance, when a friend suggested me to check out #womenofimpact - although I found Evy's video on their profile & I got immediately attracted to her words - when someone talks, listen, let them speak and observe their #bodylanguage, what is it they are NOT telling you I knew I had to get her book! And it is now my 2nd favourite, out of about 30 #selfdevelopment #books I have read in the last 3 years - hats off, Ms #WonderWoman πππ»πͺπ»π¦Έπ»ββοΈ Thank you for sharing this with us ππ» Let us know your thoughts, if you get to read it #becomingbulletproofwithevy ππ https://www.instagram.com/p/CIRf2ATHbmL/?igshid=vzcccqkn4311
