@JSB_TV I would be shocked if he doesn't cramp up when he has to play Alcaraz!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It's a mistake to stop saying "um" and "uh" altogether.

Evidence: filler words signal that new information is coming, making it easier for listeners to understand and remember what comes next.

Hesitations don't make you sound weak. They help you... uh... communicate clearly.

Does anyone have any insight into how to get through to @AirCanada? My mom arrived to visit 10 days ago, is still waiting for her luggage, and after 16 hours on hold (got disconnected twice), and 3 hours with an additional trip to the airport, no luck. Any advice? #lostluggage

@leadershipsbh Totally agree with you! When I have a lot going on, I'm a lot more disciplined. But it would get pretty old if I did this all the time!

“Author Alan Lakein wrote, ‘Time = life; therefore, waste your time and waste your life, or master your time and master your life.’ Learn to manage yourself, and enjoy a fuller, more productive life” @Patricia_ATL https://t.co/Kw3yRb1pp7

@leadershipsbh It seems like society is trending in that direction, but we shall see!

Research is unequivocal — there is little upside to perfectionism. The relentless pursuit of flawlessness can lead to low self-worth, depressive and anxiety disorders, high stress in the face of failure, and even suicidality.
