Imposter Syndrome afflicts over 70% of all people, and many don't know it is standing in the way of their dreams and goals. It is prevalent among people considered to be high-achievers. It can show up as overperforming in one area and underperforming in another. I had the pleasure of talking with Eimer Duffy and Phillip Twyford on the Let's Get Social Show, and we talked about this common phenomenon and what you can do about it.

Many of us have been taught from a young age that lacking humility is a downfall. Of course, now that social media has come along, it seems that bragging is an art form. We might be able to ignore the celebrity or star athlete who can't quit bragging online, but it can be more difficult to stomach the boss or the colleague who is always gloating. We might believe that we shouldn't brag -- but one expert says that not correct.

When executives and their executive assistants form a tight partnership, magic can happen at work. It’s not just about managing schedules and arranging travel - it’s about forming a strategic relationship where the executive and EA are in it together and striving for success.

To be successful, a startup needs a foundation that focuses on moving the business smartly in the direction you want it to go. We say smartly because it’s easy to try something to see if it catches on before trying something else that may be 180 degrees from what you just did, causing heartache, loss of time and resources.

But just the presence of data does not help a business to succeed – information needs to be analysed, tested and then relevant insights should be extracted.
