Evy Poumpouras: Mastering Relationships and Confrontation
Evy Poumpouras has an impressive resume: she’s a multimedia journalist, a former secret service agent, and a survivor of the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. She’s the perfect person to talk to about confrontation, mastering relationships, and building confidence, all of which she covers in a recent episode of The School of Greatness.
Building Confidence
One of the best ways to build confidence, according to Poumpouras, is to take action. “Don’t think too much about it,” she says. “Just do it.”
This same advice applies when it comes to dealing with confrontation. “It’s a muscle,” she says. “The more you use it, the more comfortable you’ll be with it.”
Dealing with Conflict
Poumpouras has lots of experience dealing with conflict, both as a secret service agent and as a journalist covering national security and law enforcement. She says that one of the most important things to remember is that not everyone is going to like you, and that’s okay.
“People are going to have their own opinions of you,” she says. “You’re not going to be for everybody. Once you accept that, it’s easier to move on.”
She also says that it’s important to accept that disagreements are a natural part of life. “That’s just part of being in a relationship,” she says. “You’re going to have disagreements, but it’s how you handle them that’s key.”
Mastering Relationships
Poumpouras emphasizes the importance of trust in relationships, but she also says that it’s important to trust conditionally. “You have to be cautious,” she says. “You can give someone the benefit of the doubt, but you don’t have to trust them blindly.”
She also emphasizes the importance of really listening to people and paying attention to their body language. “You can learn a lot from just watching someone’s face,” she says. “You can tell when they’re uncomfortable, or when they’re hiding something.”
Finally, she emphasizes the importance of being present in every conversation. “When you’re with someone, be with them,” she says. “Don’t be on your phone or thinking about something else. Be present in the moment.”
Final Thoughts
Evy Poumpouras is a woman who knows what she’s talking about when it comes to mastering relationships and dealing with confrontation. Her advice is practical and actionable, and anyone can benefit from listening to her words of wisdom.
If you’re someone who struggles with confidence, confrontation, or building relationships, you won’t want to miss the latest episode of The School of Greatness. It’s one of the most insightful and inspiring episodes yet, and it’s sure to leave you feeling more confident, more comfortable with conflict, and more capable of building meaningful relationships.
