🌟Self-awareness is an important trait that is often overlooked or ignored by many people. 🎗H.W. Shaw once said, "It is not only the most difficult thing to know oneself, but the most inconvenient one, too." This week, I invite you to join me in reading a short piece about the significance of self-awareness by The Myers-Briggs Company
Here is today's book highlight: Doing any kind of great work requires great people. Finding them and keeping them is central to any human-based strategic advantage.

Kindness. In an ever increasingly divided/polarized world, a topic that needs to be promoted and explored.

Have you ever heard of the purple cow theory? Imagine driving through the countryside, surrounded by beautiful green pastures, blue skies, and the usual sight of cows. Everything is serene and expected until... you spot a purple cow! Suddenly, your attention is captured, and you can't help but stop and wonder how such a unique cow exists among the ordinary ones. This theory isn't just about the color; it's about standing out from the crowd. In a world where most consulting companies blend into the corporate blue and gray, being a purple cow means daring to be different. It's about being so distinct that people pause and take notice, leading to genuine engagement and attention. So, let's embrace the purple cow theory and strive to be that unique and captivating presence in our fields. Because in a sea of ordinary, being extraordinary is what truly makes a difference.

Check out my newest blogpost! How do you like to practice listening for differences?
Is it possible to collaborate and work together when you disagree? Short answer: Yes, but that doesn't mean it's easy. This week on the blog, we hear from our very own Gilmara Vila Nova-Mitchell as we begin our Month of Elephants, committed to bringing you insight on and conversations about the work of "freeing elephants" and addressing avoidance all October. A sneak peak from today: "How often do you see someone willing to have their beliefs and ideas challenged by what others think? It is not possible to have the answers for the problems we are facing today based on our single narrow perspective. We are a lot more likely to find those answers by admitting we don't know everything and that we can't struggle alone anymore. Today's challenges are way too complex and require collective perspectives, but letting go of our certainty and expecting ourselves to be confused as we search for answers isn't easy. We are often uncomfortable admitting we don't know. Many of us prefer to sound certain and confident, stating our opinions as if it were true—a path that doesn't always serve us."

“Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.” —Brené Brown Integrity is more than just keeping promises—it’s about preventing even small moral compromises that can lead to bigger failures. Tom Crenshaw shares a compelling story in his latest post, illustrating how leaving just “one nail” for the enemy can disrupt our lives. Explore this post at https://lnkd.in/e_r78EQP

If we’ve learned anything from awards shows, it’s that “acceptance speeches” can be truly inspiring moments or just “meh.” The point is, we remember the great ones and they become an indelible part of the speaker’s brand. Join Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and my friend Steve Rohr to understand the fundamentals (and hacks) of giving stellar brief remarks and how to integrate your exec’s personal brand and character traits into their delivery. https://lnkd.in/gNmudyez

Understanding You in practice is where we learn the most. Taking a reflexivity approach to our work is about finding strategies to question our own attitudes, thought processes, values, assumptions, prejudices and habitual actions, and being committed to striving to understand our complex roles in relation to others. We need to understand our power and privilege that often changes based on the situation or environments that we find ourselves in. For example: sitting on the board of a non for profit service To talking to clients about the service delivery they have received. Next time you are doing something consider your power and privilege and consider it in relation to others. Make your environment safe where challenging each other is the norm and respectful.
