In We’re Speaking, Palepu connects illuminating stories from Harris’s unique biography with tactical advice that will teach you to :
From tips on achieving professional goals to advice on compassionate leadership, self-care, personal style, family matters, romantic relationships, and, above all, honoring yourself, your needs, and your ambitions, WE’RE SPEAKING will leave you feeling empowered to follow in Harris's footsteps — shattering glass ceilings of your own as you live the life of your dreams.
Create a hype file — a place to save screenshots of emails, DMs, and texts, and voice messages or videos showcasing the wonderful things people tell you about yourself.
Whenever you need a boost, review the file and go on to win the challenge ahead of you.
My hype file is an album in my photos app. I go back and reread the emails from mentors and old partners when I get a rejection from a potential investor or part- ner. When I second-guess whether to share a specific topic or my personal thoughts on a sensitive issue in #5SmartReads, I go back and reread an email from someone who told me that #5SmartReads helped her hold her own in a political conversation with her father. If I’ve had a hard day wrangling my boys, I watch the videos of them hugging and playing nicely, or the recordings of Rho telling me, “Mommy, I love you. You’re the best mommy!”
Don’t restrict your hype file to your career or school. You are a woman of multitudes, and your hype file should represent your best in all of your multidimensional glory.
