sit back uncross your arms and take a
00:03:44
deep breath and when you're standing
00:03:46
plant both feet firmly on the ground

00:04:04
tricky take the time to get it right
00:04:06
repeat it back to them if you need to

someone's name correctly it shows
00:04:12
respect and respect is what sets you

number seven keep a signature drink this
00:04:27
one's just fun okay Elite women often
00:04:29
have a go-to drink it's like having a
00:04:31
little piece of your identity in a glass
00:04:34
it doesn't have to be anything fancy or
00:04:36
complicated just something that feels
00:04:38
you maybe it's a classic martini maybe
00:04:40
it's a sparkling water with lime or
00:04:42
maybe it's an iced oat milk latte yes
00:04:44
I'm basic the point is when someone asks
00:04:47
what you're drinking you don't stammer
00:04:49
you own it oh I always get a dirty chai
00:04:52
extra cinnamon done effortless hack

00:05:21
one's tough because I love to talk but
00:05:23
here's the thing oversharing is not the
00:05:25
vibe Elite women keep a little air of
00:05:27
mystery about them for example if
00:05:29
someone asks how your weekend was you
00:05:31
don't have to launch into a 15-minute
00:05:33
story about how your dog ate half a
00:05:35
pizza and threw up on your rug not that
00:05:37
I'd know anything about that instead

keep it short and sweet it was lovely I
00:05:42
had some time to relax and recharge done

00:06:00
5 hours getting ready the goal is to

00:06:07
you feel amazing a tailored Blazer a
00:06:09
great pair of heels or even just a
00:06:11
