Dance as if no one is watching and then realize it doesn’t matter if they are. Your joy is your own, and no one can take that from you unless you let them. So, when someone expects you to be like them, be proud that you are diverse.

The simple words “hello” or “good morning” can be so inclusive, rather than walking right past someone saying nothing.

With the new hybrid work structure, we need to be super aware of proximity bias. Leaders need to evaluate all their workers to the same metrics on performance/results, not based on what they see.

Stop WANTING to be something and BE it. Be the person who can develop the strategies to do what it takes. Take a step back today, and look at your goals. Envision what you would do if you obtained that goal, then do it to BE that person.

If your work or life is feeling a bit mundane, remember Einstein’s quote. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.” Change something today, and that mundane feeling will change.

I find it interesting that ghosting is a thing. Not communicating something difficult makes your personal brand look weak. If you take someone’s time to interact and there is an outcome expected, make sure to conclude the communication and keep your integrity intact.

Someone who is inclusive recognizes others have different opinions and doesn’t judge those opinions as wrong. Inclusive individuals consider other’s opinions as possibilities.

It is my belief that building inclusivity attracts diverse individuals and allows equity to flourish.

Keep your networks strong. Stay in touch with your network and help them when they need assistance. The day may come when you need their assistance and a strong network will make your career endeavors easier.

Diversity of thought is the opportunity to bring people with different backgrounds together where everyone comes from differing backgrounds, which in turn brings different perspectives. Innovation and growth is the outcome for individuals, teams, and companies.

Do you see challenges as an opportunity to grow or as a hindrance to your career? It is through challenges that you create skill and uniqueness in how you solve the challenge. Most times a negative situation is actually a positive opportunity in disguise.

Storytelling is not just for marketing. When you’re talking to a hiring manager it is helpful to share your skills incorporated in a story, rather than just stating you have done the task/skill/work they are asking about.

Accelerating in your career means not doing only what is necessary. It is about seeing what is possible and doing it. Once you are working on what is possible, you are doing what was considered impossible.

If you are facing resistance and only see obstacles, stop for a moment and ask yourself why is this happening and ask yourself why are you not leaning into possibilities.

Is it time to make a change in your career? Take a moment and ask- Do I fear failure? Do I feel it’s an overwhelming task? Do I have emotions about making a change? If you answered yes to any, ask yourself, if I don’t tackle these, where will I be in a year?

Do you have your toolbox built for when that next great opportunity presents itself? We don't like to talk about ourselves and sound like we have an ego, but it is essential that you are telling your story and how your past work will bring value to the next role.

When you feel like your job is not everything you want, take a moment and jot down what your perfect day looks like. Is there an opportunity to fit your job into your dreams, or what does the next job have to have to be perfect?

Pat yourself on the back today. Ask yourself what your boss(es) would say if asked, that you are relied on for…? Write it down as one of the skills you are strong at.

If you write down what you're grateful for at work each day. You won't have any problem when you have to update your resume or bio.

When you are updating your resume to rewrite your bullets, make sure you are sharing what you were challenged with, what you did, and the result you had. This will help the reader visualize your value.
