True connection requires vulnerability

Being vulnerable means that we make a decision to be honest with ourselves and others by exposing and sharing authentic thoughts, feelings, opinions, and even appearances. This is not an easy place to be – it is uncomfortable and scary

Be mindful: Compliments ~ Appreciation ~ Respect ~ Trust

Be unique. Let your taste in music, art, or politics be known. EXPLORE YOUR EXPRESSIVE TALENTS

Be curious. Be okay with “not knowing. “ Ask questions.

Establish clear boundaries ~ both personally and professionally

Believe you are enough, exactly the way you are! There is no such thing as perfect.
