We are constantly surrounded by the world wanting us to be something other than we are or striving to show the world we fit in.We need to make sure we take all our experiences in life and continue to learn from them.Being relatable is about making other people feel as if they belong and that their situation is not unique to them in the broader sense.Leaders who are real actually value knowing about other people's experiences and having a deeper understanding of who others are as individuals.When we expose our vulnerability it sends a clear message to others and makes them comfortable in sharing theirs with us.It helps everyone belong.Our words matter more than we understand. Or we do understand and in an effort to deal with that pressure we brush it aside.Everyone should be treated as if they are a puzzle piece that belongs to part of the bigger picture.Cannon balling.Stay in Touch:Website and Links to Connect!SEEing to Lead Extras!Like the content, want to be a guest, or know someone who would?
