Tweetable Comments "I want to claim all that I am and just be proud of it." "To reveal a part of yourself, and to do it with confidence and do it with vulnerability at the same time, I think the world really responds to that." "The more you can differentiate yourself, stand above the rest and be memorable, the better you will do." "Standing out is a vulnerable act and an authentic act, because if you stand out, if you're going to be seen, you're going to be seen not just in your power, but most likely in your weaknesses." "Allow the moment to manage you. Just sit back and literally allow and tune into what is going on energetically." "I think it's our responsibility as leaders to create workplaces where people feel safe enough to bring more of themselves into the work environment."
