Stay gushy!

Ok, maybe don't spill all the beans at work or with clients...

But definitely be YOU.

Being you means:

1) not veiling everything
2) being a bit vulnerable
3) answering honestly before you know what the room thinks
4) speaking up and speaking first
5) wearing your values on your sleeve (sometimes tattooed permanently)

Too many of us are scared to show our hand. A bit timid to reveal ourselves.

We have to be a bit brazen. A bit bold.

We have to dip into the space in the middle and risk the chance that we might have to take in new info, feedback, or listen to others.

Gush as long as it's real and in-pocket.

There is something differentiated, beautiful, and disarming about people who just give you the real deal.

Show us the real deal.
