Vulnerability is not weakness.
Connection gives purpose and meaning to our lives.
Who we are matters immeasurably more than what we know or who we want to be.
Cool is the emotional straightjacket. It makes us less available for connection which makes us less equipped for leadership roles.
Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.
First and foremost, we need to be the adults we want our children to be. We should watch our own gossiping and anger. We should model the kindness we want to see.
