I wonder if you do the same as me? Someone says something uber nice or cool about me and I just smile, maybe thank them and quickly dismiss it. Don’t get me wrong. I’m proud to be Mandie Holgate* however I rarely hold on to what people say; “That was an awesome keynote Mandie, you’ve changed…
Here’s my latest article for Life Hack, because who hasn’t been asked one of those questions…..
