Thanks for capturing this so concisely — I love a list format! For me lately, on any given day, life is about recognizing my location in the tension between each of these.

Me and you both!

Yes! YES, AND!

I think we are programmed at a young age that there is only one way of feeling, being, expressing.

But it’s more than that once ya brush away the thin surface. There’s richness below. 🙏🏻

Great post.

Love this so much! I find the same holds true with many hotly debated leadership concepts as well.

Should CEOs delegate more or activate “founder mode” more? BOTH! Delegate where it makes sense AND go personally deep in the places where you can have a disproportionate impact or where they matter most to the company.

Hire seasoned experts or hungry, first-time step-up leaders? BOTH can add a ton of value to your company and team in the right places.
