Be authentic.
But fake it till you make it.
Be vulnerable.
And show executive presence.
Focus on self-care.
But there is no “I” in team.
It’s enough to make your head spin.
What I’ve learned from growing a business is that, if you pivot for every new and shiny strategy, you won’t get where you want to go.
All of the sayings above are true, but you have to know when and how to use them.
Real success is a slow and steady wins the race game.
Know and leverage what you’re good at.
Learn how to talk in positive ways about yourself and don’t ignore politics.
Let yourself fail, and learn when you do.
And be kind to others so you create a safe space on your team.
Consistent effort combined with keeping your eyes open will get you where you want to go.
