Secret Power: Reading the Room
Cherie explains her ability to read nonverbal cues and use them to navigate meetings and relationships.
What quiet superpower do most people miss? How do you read the room – and use it to your advantage? And how do you know when “excellence” is actually keeping you from your Zone of Genius? ⚡👀
In this second unfiltered “Ask Us Anything” episode of Tiger Sisters, we get real about power – in life, love, and work. From decoding nonverbal cues to rebuilding your inner circle and choosing purpose over prestige, nothing is off the table.
We share:
✅ How to read the room – and act on what you see
✅ Zone of Excellence vs. Zone of Genius (and knowing when to leap)
✅ A practical productivity stack: sleep, food, therapy, gym, less alcohol
✅ Why your energy is a luxury good – givers vs. takers
✅ Where to meet aligned friends + the power of the follow-up
✅ The “friends, fans, and lessons” framework to protect your circle
