Adele auditioned for an Adele look-alike competition on BBC. Even though her latest release has been breaking sales records worldwide; none of the people\u00a0in the competition recognized the superstar (who auditioned as a soft-spoken nanny named Jenny).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Adele at the BBC: When Adele wasn&#039;t Adele... but was Jenny!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OHXjxWaQs9o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here are 3 powerful success lessons you can pull from her performance:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Non-verbal communication\u00a0sends a powerful message<\/h3>\n<p>Adele wore a fake\u00a0nose and augmented chin modification, but didn&#8217;t greatly change her appearance. She was not recognized largely due to her non-verbal communication cues of slumped shoulders, lack of eye contact, and posture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson #1:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>You don&#8217;t have time to schedule your first impression with someone. You must be on your &#8220;game&#8221; at all times. <a href=\"http:\/\/theshef.com\/wordpress\/motivation-success-drum-solo\/\" target=\"_blank\">Never underestimate the power of your attitude.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0No one is successful alone<\/h3>\n<p>While waiting backstage for\u00a0her turn to sing, Adele (or &#8220;Jenny&#8221; in this video) feigned nervousness and anxiety. The other contestants reassured her that she was going to do just fine, and encouraged her to give it her all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson#2:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Creating the right &#8220;inner circle&#8221; is crucial for success. We all rely on other people to lift us up when we are unsure, and we also must lift others up.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>3. Shine when you are on stage.<\/h3>\n<p>It only took a few seconds of Adele singing before her true identity was revealed. Why? Because of the countless hours she invested in practicing and honing her performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson #3:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Your &#8220;stage&#8221; may be in a boardroom, a classroom, or in your living room playing with your kids. When you tap into your true talents and practice doing things the right way consistently, the spotlight will shine brightly on you.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What are some ways that you can shine in your every day life?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adele\u00a0pulled a great joke on an audience during a BBC audition, but her lessons for your success are priceless!
