Travis Bradberry:
“7 Things Deeply Intuitive People Do Differently” (9-4-26).
“They practice empathic accuracy.
I’d probably lose you if I said that highly intuitive people read minds, so I’ll use the scientific term: empathic accuracy.

It’s an extremely powerful form of empathy that helps foster deep connections with other people.”

Paul McCarthy:
“Disruptive Leadership Capability Is the New Competitive Advantage” (8-31-26).
“[W]e’re going to need leaders who think differently.
Who question assumptions.
Who challenge established ways of working.
Who find their own voice.”

Martin E.P. Seligman, with an excerpt from his new book, Agency: A Psychological History of Human Progress:
“This powerful belief can help you accomplish more” (9-8-26).
“Albert Bandura defined efficacy as your belief in your capacity to execute behaviors that will produce specific outcomes. It is not about having the actual skill, but about believing you can have it and you can succeed.”
