Everything Evy Poumpouras said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Poumpouras: Fortune 100 clients complain about new employees' weak work ethic
“One of the biggest complaints they have is we, we're getting people in who have a weak work ethic, who are bringing versions of themselves that is not helping the whole mission of the company, that we're having difficult time keeping people, finding the right …”
Poumpouras: Professionals must adapt their persona rather than bringing unfiltered authenticity
“You need to bring different versions of you to different conversations and to different people. I'm in business now. You and I were talking a little bit off camera, and when I work with people or have people work with me, I want the business version of you.”
Poumpouras: Complete healing does not exist and is unnecessary for resilience
“There's no such thing as being fully healed. You recover, and you become resilient, and you bounce back.”
Poumpouras: Rumination activates the same brain circuitry as cocaine use
“When you ruminate over something, you notice how sometimes it can be addicting. It actually gives you the same high, it actually activates the same part of the brain that gets activated when you do coke.”
Poumpouras: You cannot fix a long-standing subordinate dynamic without leaving
“If you're in a business environment, you've been there for years and people have just been crushing you and dominating you. There's, I want, I don't mean to be negative, but there's almost no way to fix that. You have to leave and go somewhere else and start i…”
Poumpouras: Say nothing in initial meetings unless adding distinct value
“Don't talk a lot in that first meeting. Say nothing. I have the meetings I go to. I say nothing. You don't need to talk. Nobody cares. Like, unless you have something of value to say, you don't need to say anything.”
Poumpouras: Prioritizing personal dress over company culture isolates you from career opportunities
“When you do that, you make it about yourself. So what you're also saying is, I'm not a team player. I just care about me, and I dress for me, and I do me, and whoever likes me. And again, you can do that, but you will be isolating yourself from opportunities a…”
Poumpouras: Releasing resentment does not require forgiving or trusting wrongdoers again
“I'm not telling you to forgive. I am not a forgive person. I will let it go. I'm not letting you in. Oh, no, no, no. You're, I learned my lesson the first time. Thank you. Stay all the way over there. But I'm not gonna take you, and what you did to me, and tak…”
Poumpouras: Overcoming victim mentality requires reframing self-talk away from being prey
“Change the way you talk to yourself. So this, I'm a victim, get rid of that. No, you're not. You're nobody's prey. You're nobody's prey. I am nobody's prey. Change that tone in your head. It always starts first with the way you speak to yourself and the way yo…”
Poumpouras: Staying quiet reduces cognitive load and improves reading people
“When you're talking, it's very hard to read people. It's a high cognitive load. So the more quiet you can be, the better you're going to be at picking up cues.”
Poumpouras: Data shows 80% of US crime goes unsolved
“In fact, in the US, the data shows 80% of crime goes unsolved.”
Poumpouras: Incremental admissions are sufficient without full confessions
“Everyone's always look for the confession and whatever somebody does to you. I want him to tell me he did this, or she did that, or they stole that money, or they cheated on me. You don't need that. You need the admissions to put a picture together.”
Poumpouras: Backing down from aggressive people only fuels their dominance
“When you know somebody is, like, not good, the more you pull back, the more dominant they become. You create more space for them to fill. So I do think there's strategy in avoiding conflict. But when you create dynamics where you give this person so much space…”
Poumpouras: Truly tough and lethal people do not advertise their accomplishments
“The way you know somebody's really tough or strong, they don't advertise the stuff they've done. The quietest people were the most lethal people.”
Poumpouras: Acting school voice classes are best for building speaking confidence
“People ask me, what do I do for my voice? And I tell them, hands down, go to acting school, take a voice and speech class. One, it'll, they'll teach you to use your voice, they teach you to project your voice, and then they put you in front of other people, an…”
Poumpouras: Speakers should always use downward vocal inflection for authority
“So you always want to go down when you speak.”
Poumpouras: Secret Service criminal interviews were never conducted alone
“I was a polygraph examiner with the US Secret Service. I never did criminal interviews alone. Never. I always had a partner”
Poumpouras: Research shows verbosity reduces a speaker's perceived credibility
“There's science that shows the more verbose you are, the more words you use when you speak, the less credible you appeal, you appear. So when you can get to your point with less words, you actually appear more credible.”
Poumpouras: Protected every U.S. president from Ford through Obama except Reagan
“Had them either when they were current or in former, so Ford, before he passed away I had, Bush Senior, Bush Junior, Obama, Clintons. I've had everybody but Reagan.”
Poumpouras: Foreign heads of state receive Secret Service protection in U.S.
“So a lot of folks don't know that when a foreign head of state comes to the United States, they, you would get secret service protection. And the goal is that you don't want foreign heads of state being assassinated on a U S soil.”
