These Things I Believe
Connection gives us meaningFlow beats work-life balanceConversations are the bond
Vulnerability is courageProductive beats busyArtistry is underrated
Fear sucks
Vulnerability
Vulnerability is the path to love, to belonging, to
innovation, trust and creativity. 85% of interviewees for Brene
Brown’s research can recall a time in school that was so
shaming it forever changed how they thought of
themselves as learners – 50% of those recollections related
to art and creativity.
Vulnerability
‘Vulnerability is also scary, counterintuitive, unmanly,
unprofessional and un-American. It is not safe, not a
best practice, not conventional wisdom, and not comfortable.
But it is always the shortcut, the way through, the answer,
and worth it.’
Heather Bussing

The Trust Overlap
What You Say
What You Do
When what you say and what you do overlap, you get trust. And that’s cool. When they don’t, you get trouble. And that’s what you deserve.
