Quick tip: Don’t get stuck or lost in “finding your voice.” Whatever you say, it’s **you** saying it, and whether you know it or not, that always comes through. Even if you’re pretending to be someone else, it’s still **you** behind the words. Trying really hard to be yourself is like trying really hard to be a mammal—you already are. The trick is to *stop trying so hard to be in the front and allow the work to take the spotlight*. If you want to shine the brightest, help the people around you shine and facilitate that. This isn’t about being a doormat, but once you recognize what you have to offer, start offering it!

If I'm checking references, there's one question I always ask: "What blind spot should she be aware of to reach her full potential?"

Discovering the right job candidates is an art. 🌟 As the CEO of two companies, here's my approach to discerning the best. 🚀

I came across an image recently suggesting “we must categorize people as 'colleagues', 'classmates', 'old school mates', 'neighbors' or 'clients”, with the message that not everyone is really a “friend”. While there's truth in being discerning about the nature of our various relationships, I'd propose a different take! What if, instead of putting people in transactional boxes, we approached all our connections with an open and caring spirit? Every classmate, colleague and acquaintance is a unique individual with inherent worth, hopes and struggles, just like us. By treating people as humans first, and roles second, we open doors to deeper understanding and more meaningful ties. Some connections may remain casual, and that's okay. But if we engage others with genuine interest, kindness and willingness to both give and receive support, we create potential for relationships to blossom in organic and enriching ways. We're all navigating this complex world together. In the end, not every contact may become a close friend. But by leading with empathy, respect and goodwill in all our interactions, both personal and professional, we invest in a network of positive relationships that uplift our days, expand our perspectives, and remind us of the core humanity connecting us all. And that's a worthwhile pursuit. Let me know your thoughts on this?

You know what? I learned something super important, and I gotta share it with you. So, picture this: you're working at a company, right? Well, here's the deal – you gotta treat it like it's your own baby. Seriously, give it your all, put in that extra effort to make it thrive. 💯 But here's the kicker – even if you're the big boss, act like you're just another employee. It's like putting yourself in their shoes, feeling what they feel, you know? It's not just about being empathetic, it's about building trust and confidence in your team. 🤝 Trust me, when you approach things this way, magic happens. You'll understand your team better, work together smoother, and hey, the company? It's gonna soar to new heights. 😎

The single skill that transformed my adult life, professionally and personally It's a skill, meaning we can all get better at it. Picture having to let go of a longtime employee while keeping the bridge intact. Or ending a partnership with dignity and respect. Or opening up to your parents about something deeply personal. These conversations are tough. We dread them, but they're essential. I've dodged these moments before, only to face bigger problems later. Now, I choose to step up, address the issue, and avoid prolonged distress. I've been here, in this uncomfortable place, multiple times. Each time, I've navigated these conversations with more grace. It's been liberating. Strengthened bonds, earned respect, and felt true to myself. It's that moment of discomfort that defines your emotional strength. I've grown through practice, becoming emotionally resilient. And here's the thing: it's a learned skill. Some of you are already masters at it, perhaps without realizing it. Take this as a nod of recognition. For the rest, I urge you to try. Start that tough talk. It might just change everything.
