But this isn’t just about how you appear to others — it’s also about learning how to preserve your own energy, manage your time, and protect your focus so you don’t run out of steam. Anastasia shares how to move conversations along and end meetings that drag on, the secret to communicating with your boss in short, decisive sentences, why reading your emails gives you a strategic edge, and how to build a personal portfolio that documents your growth and value.
