Leaderly Quote: Stop Consenting to the Feeling of Powerlessness
By Jo Miller
The problem with audiobooks is that every once in a while, when you’re listening to a truly great book, you hear something that stops you in your tracks. You want to highlight it, underline it, and dog-ear the page, but… you can’t! I guess therein lies a recommendation for reading books the old-fashioned way.
I was recently on vacation, taking a long morning run, and listening to Amy Cuddy’s wonderful book, Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges. I found myself stopping constantly to take a screen shots to mark places within the audiobook so that I could be reminded later of all the great and incredibly actionable insights I was hearing Cuddy describe.
One day, hopefully soon, I’ll get to go back through all of those screen shots and listen again. For now, here’s a favorite quote:
“Stop consenting to the feeling of powerlessness.”
— Amy Cuddy.
