Many women know Diane von Furstenberg, the iconic designer, as the creator of the classic wrap-around dress which has stood the test of time.
She was recently interviewed and shared insights on leadership that can withstand both fashion and business trends.
One of the keys to success she said was to trust yourself. Trusting yourself engenders confidence. In order to trust yourself it is essential to have a relationship with yourself.
You must be able to: be alone, think, count on yourself, console yourself, inspire yourself and give yourself advice.
We often second guess ourselves and think that others know better. When we believe in ourselves and trust our instincts, we become more powerful. We lose doubt and gain clarity.
In our busy, cluttered minds, having quiet time to listen to our instincts is necessary. Trusting them enough to act is the next step and can take practice.
In our Facebook world of friends and likes, take time to friend yourself and like what you see. It will be the most important connection you make.
That’s a wrap!
