Jonathan Dee, Les Privilèges « Nous sommes l’An Zéro. […] Chéri, nous n’avons pas simplement réussi. Nous sommes une putain de multinationale, dit-elle en riant ». «Un mariage ! Le premier d’une génération : les futurs époux ont tout juste vingt-deux ans». Le roman s’ouvre, comme la vie de Cynthia et Adam, sur cette «nouveauté troublante et magique», une existence offerte à tous les possibles : ils sont beaux, riches, parfaits, n’ont qu’une envie, «galoper sérieusement vers le futur», dominer leur vie et celle des autres. Le premier chapitre des Privilèges donne le ton, ancre le roman dans son registre si particulier : la chronique d’un couple programmé pour réussir, une vie facile puis brillante, deux beaux enfants, la richesse qui s’accroit, New York, des maisons, des amitiés utiles. «Quand ils sont au contact l’un de l’autre, personne d’autre ne peut les toucher. Sur quels secrets inavouables reposent ces privilèges, quels deuils oubliés, quels petits arrangements avec la justice ? «Quelle ironie, n’est-ce pas ?
Productive Flourishing Editor’s Note: This is a continuation of our core conversation series, “Extraordinary Women Change the World.” Yesterday, Emilie Wapnick shares what it feels like to be the only girl in the room.

Graham’s words really hit home for me because there have been several points in my career in which I’ve taken a left turn, and everyone around me kind of scratched their head and wondered what the heck I was doing with my life. So how does this relate to empowerment? I went to a good school. In this video, we talk about:
全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试网 Savages: Amazon.fr: Don Winslow Sally Hogshead Are you a visual person? If so, you like to learn ideas in a graphic way. When I spoke to 500 trainers recently, a graphic facilitator captured my Fascinate keynote in real time, drawing while I was giving the presentation. This outline describes how to reach your personality’s highest value, and communicate in 9 seconds or less. (Check out the little “hogshead” drawn on the board next to me.) The moment I walked on stage for a recent speech, my microphone died. How can you over-deliver for your client if audience can’t hear the speech you flew 5,000 miles to deliver? Always have Plan B ready, to keep them engaged, so you don’t get flustered and they don’t get bored. “Don’t worry, I’ve been trained in MIME… and I’ll be delivering the entire speech in interpretive dance.” By the time the laughter died down, my new mic was ready to go, and the speech went on to a standing ovation!
