Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level.

I'm honest about expressing my opinions. At the same time, I'm diplomatic in how I do critique things if I have a negative response.

When it comes to dressing, comfort is overrated. A little discomfort probably means your clothes fit and they're not pajamas.

If you want to, you can share my teaching refrain: I can't want you to succeed more than you do.

All the magazines contradict each other because it is so diverse. Know what you like, know what looks good on you and keep doing it, no reason to chase trends.

Exude unconditional confidence.
