Quote of the week:
"We’re here to get it right - not to be right."

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

YES! Our training should prepare us to ask great questions, value curiosity, and have the confidence to not know.

We’re here to get it right - not to be right.

[Kate Sommer @_KateSommer]

@BreneBrown "We’re here to get it right - not to be right." PREACH, SISTER!

Today’s realization: There is no “right” way to handle this new normal. No way that we “should” be acting or responding. We’re all just doing our best to figure it out for ourselves hour by hour.

I’ve been trying… https://t.co/ndCPzHyXv1

@CostcoTravel Tried calling multiple times today with questions about an upcoming trip and can’t event wait in a hold line?! The auto message stated that you couldn’t take my call and then I was disconnected. NOT a good customer experience.

“Your ‘why’ is what carries you forward. It’s also what gives you immense fuel!” @_KateSommer in #SEAWIT19 session, "Become the CEO of Your Life." Take this motto into your week! #mondaymotivation https://t.co/xEx5qk1R6u

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When people disappoint us, it’s not due to their actions. It’s because their actions fell short of our expectations.

You can’t control what people do, but you can choose not to let their actions drive your emotions.

Be clearer about your expectations—or set more realistic ones.

[Kate Sommer @_KateSommer]

“End EVERY meeting and conversation by asking, ‘How can I support you.’ Give give give. People open up and tell you what they’re working on and you build relationships!” @globalgirlsgive #generosity #RelationshipsAreTheTrueCurrency
