Becoming Bulletproof means transforming yourself into a stronger, more confident, and more powerful person. Evy Poumpouras - former Secret Service agent to three presidents and one of only five women to receive the Medal of Valor - demonstrates how we can overcome our everyday fears, have difficult conversations, know who to trust and who might not have our best interests at heart, influence situations, and prepare for the unexpected.
When you have become bulletproof, you are your best, most courageous, and most potent version of yourself. Poumpouras shows us that ultimately true strength is found in the mind, not the body.
Critical Lessons from the Book
Lesson 1: People lie, don't let it affect you more than it should.
Everyone lies, and we lie pretty often. So, we should learn to take people's lies less personally because that way, we can easily read people.
Lesson 2: Dress Confidently.Lesson
Your clothing can have a powerful impact on how others perceive you, so always consider your audience when picking out your wardrobe.
3: Command respect, don't demand it.
Influence and respect are garnered organically. Demanding respect is often tacky and will get you the opposite reaction. Carry yourself with respect. Respect others and you will find yourself a respected and honoured person.
