😬😧🥴 Recently went outside my comfort zone…

I sang in front of a group of learners to walk the talk

It was to share overcoming fixed mindset and was a challenge from them so basically if I expected them to step up, I need to too. Big vulnerability, bravery moment - and embarrassing worst rendition of Hallelujah ever!!

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

Be short, fast and focused on things

Clear my space, reduce the noise and help me get stuff out of my head

My Achilles Heel is…

I can get pedantic about some things when it would be better to let go!

Just checking in with me around how much it really matters in the scheme of things!

I don't worry about this!!

I am a pretty open book - what you see is what you get!

Things I'd love to learn

creating really safe environments for people to thrive

Sometimes we put all the responsibility on the individual to be more resilient and self manage and then throw them back into a toxic environment which is so destructive
