It is through the strength of what is genuine that meaningful connections build into relationships.

When you project your authentic self, people will respond to and connect with it.

Our perceptions of others are our realities about them. This is the law of perception.

It is far easier to make a good first impression than to change a bad one.

Harnessing likability is about uncovering what is authentically likable—in you, in the other person, in your connection.

Confidence comes from managing our self-doubts and accepting the fact that we are working on bettering our imperfections, even while appreciating these imperfections as qualities that make us unique and likable.

Holding ourselves back may keep us safe, but it also means sacrificing how much we can grow and limiting what we can achieve.

People are more apt to remember how you made them feel than what you said.

Being authentic will get you where you need and want to go, and it will be your path to building the most meaningful and enriching connections with others.
