Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.

If I’m not growing and learning and improving, I’m stagnating. No matter how many lessons I learn or problems I solve, there will always be new challenges to address even if I’m continuing to do the same work! I have been involved in multiple leadership learning and training opportunities throughout my career and am constantly learning how to work with my teams to improve our personal and team performance.

Humble swagger not imposter syndrome.

I recognize my skills and expertise, and how much I have learned and grown in my career. If those around me can’t see the value I bring to teams, it tells me that it’s time to improve my storytelling! I can be the best at a given task, but I have to be able to communicate that clearly in multiple formats and to people with multiple levels of knowledge.

Here’s the good news!

There are opportunities everywhere as long as you are open to them. Sure you need to ask “what can go wrong?” but don’t forget to ask “what could possibly go right?” I strive to be a voice in the profession encouraging us to focus less on the glorification of suffering and reminding us that our work is full of joy and fun when we let it be!
