Of all the things I’ve had on my career bingo card, college instructor wasn’t one of them. But here I am, grading assignments on a Saturday morning and enjoying it.
Ironically, teaching has taught me a lot.
✅ It’s not what you communicate, it’s how you communicate that carries weight.

I get it. We jump into a leadership role, and we start thinking about our personal stuff. It’s human.
However, I’ve learned that such thinking can come dangerously close to becoming too personal.
In the words of Brené Brown, “Stop working your sh*t out on other people.”
