3 Myths That Hold Back Your Leadership Potential

 

Takeaways:

  • Women and men don’t lead differently. At least not in any significant way. According to Dr. Stefanie Johnson’s research, overall leadership methods across genders are nearly identical and equally effective so no need to try and “change” your style.
  • Women are motivated to lead, but they may be less motivated to exert power over others. This hollow justification is often used to excuse the absence of women.
  • Gender biases are alive. These myths are premised on the biases that women leaders should be more sensitive than their male counterparts and have different fundamental motivations.

WELLNESS

A Quick Hip Mobility Routine

 

Takeaways:

  • Do each move (beginner or advanced) for either 60 seconds total or 30 seconds per side.
  • Begin with internal rotations, 90/90 shin box, lateral lunges, ISO rotations, and end with flexor mobs.
  • If you want to try the advance version of each you’ll need a kettle bell and a step up box.

BEAUTY

How to Choose the Right Shampoo for Your Hair Type

 

Takeaways:

  • Whether you have dry, oily, greasy, or curly hair there is a right shampoo and conditioner for your hair.
  • Follow this three-step process: first, determine your hair type; second, shop for shampoo based on your hair type, as shampoo primarily cleanses the scalp; and third, consider conditioner to address specific hair needs.
  • Curly hair types require gentler cleansers and more moisture than straight hair, so individuals with curls should look for hydrating and less clarifying shampoos. For those without curly hair, the focus is on scalp moisture levels. Those with dry scalps should avoid shampoos marketed as cleansing, clarifying, or detoxing, and instead look for hydrating, moisturizing, or smoothing shampoos.
