As you conform to what you believe others want from you, you cancel out your unique ideas, your need for support, and even the perception you desire to advance.

Being too good of an expert keeps you, and the organization, in an advancement trap. You can't grow because people need you too much.

Sometimes we say yes to everything and then try to find balance—instead of finding balance by not saying yes to everything.

We can remain in firm alignment with our values and what we stand for WHILE ALSO finding the common humanity in us all.
