๐ซ Stop Ignoring Feedback
Feedback is critical.
It allows you to correct course, to get better.
Don't close your ears to it.
This isolates you from others and insulates you from growth.
Choose to be open to receiving feedback.
Regardless of who delivers it.

Start Being Merciful
We all apply a double standard.
When you do something wrong, you have a litany of reasons why it's justified.
When it's someone else...they're just a bad person.
Mercy for me. Justice for them!
There's power in letting people off the hook. Try it.

๐ซ Stop Acting on Assumptions
It's easy to believe you know someone's motivation and judge them for it.
But humans are complex.
We can't compartmentalize.
The personal spills into the professional.
Don't assume. Ask what's going on.
Compassion may take you by surprise.

Strong Parents Discipline Why Over What
When my kids were young, I overheard another parent correcting their child.
What they said caught me by surprise:
"I care less about what you did,
And more about why you did it."
Strong parents are concerned with why rather than what.

I have been successful in almost every position I've had from dishwasher to scrum master. Want to know my secret?
Put love into whatever you do. It's the one thing you can't fake. Everything else can be taught.

You'll Always Have A Boss
It doesn't matter what you do for a living, you'll always have a boss.
It may not be captured on an org chart,
But you can't escape having people you report to.
Whether it's a customer, a board, or a spouse, everybody's got a boss.
Get used to it.

You're Replaceable
I've left many jobs where I held an incredibly important role.
My ego is sad to report that none of those companies shut down after I walked out the door.
We're all replaceable.
Never let your status, accomplishments, or position go to your head.

Parenting is hard.
We're all figuring it out as we go.
One of the most difficult things to sort through is when to take a stand,
And when to let up.
There's no magic formula for figuring this out,
But these are a few things I've found worth squaring off with your kids over.

I feel like any successful black sportsman or businessman - you have to be twice as good and clean, coz they are just waiting for you to trip and itโs gotcha.
