What felt riskier was staying in a system that saw me as a checkbox instead of a leader doing great work.

On my first day, they told me I should use my standing desk more because maybe then I'd lose weight.

If you walk on stage and say, "Look at me! I'm a wacky space alien with a banjo!" you’ve dumped a pile of crap on your scene partner.
Rachael Simpson
There's a pattern: getting caught up in other people’s hype and mistaking external validation for self-worth.
