Lean in

Communication works best when we combine appropriateness with authenticity, finding that sweet spot where opinions are not brutally honest but delicately honest. Speaking truthfully without hurting feelings comes naturally to some and is an acquired skill for others. I definitely needed help in this area. Fortunately, I found it.
Talking can transform minds, which can transform behaviors, which can transform institutions.
We need to talk and listen and debate and refute and instruct and learn and evolve.
And last, but not least, the very best of them, again and again... :-)
Done is better than perfect.

[Lean in, Sheryl Sandberg]
