In a business like mine, I have to walk the talk. I can't teach you how to have better relationships or difficult conversations if I'm not striving for great relationships and stepping into difficult conversations. I must live what I teach.
(Darn, I guess this means I can't be an a&% at work.)
One of my roles is to create freedom. For you and for me. So, I share real stories from my life and my clients. I use photos of my dogs and charm bracelets instead of hunting for photos of random models around a conference table.
This same authenticity is the key to your happiness and power at work. To be clear, I get angry and sad. I disappoint myself sometimes. I don't bring everything into my business, and each of us gets to choose the line of appropriate privacy.
That is what it means to be an adult. You make choices about what to share and what to keep private. About what is needed from you in different contexts. And you show up authentically in all areas of your life.
There's really no other way to live. Being fake will suck you dry.
How about that as you go into your weekend? Love to you!
