EP #285 Are You Relatable or Debatable?
Are you relatable or debatable?
Had to go with the rhyming title this week. We talk a lot about being nice, kind, and having EQ these days but I think we might be missing something when it comes to being a great colleague - or person in general.
It’s too easy to just to what everyone else is doing. In fact, I think it’s easier than ever before to follow the crowd.
Standing it out is actually a big exercise in relating to the right people.
Some might say that being relatable is just being a “normal person” or not standing out too much.
What actually leads to growth is standing out in unique was that has elements of relatability to others.
This episode is all about helping you do that and not have a brand that’s “debatable”
Have a generous rest of your week. 😀
