It’s a good time to think: What else might we innovate?
Speak Up
Have you ever scared of speaking up?
Talk with Clear Thoughts
I love that when I talk with clear thoughts, it makes so easy for others to understand what I mean. To be able to articulate in a foreign language really needs practice, practice and more practice.
