6. Seek Out Feedback
When we struggle with difficult decisions and circumstances that are a consistent part of our careers, we need to know who has our back and is a valued resource.
We grow and succeed not by ourselves but with others who share and support our goals and values.

8. Take Your Own Advice
it’s most important to be authentic, trusted, professional, and consistent.
The public is smarter than ever before but is being bombarded with so much content and information that has led to burnout, mistrust, and fatigue.
So, plz take your own advice.

9. Consider All The Options
Sometimes, but rarely is there one unequivocal decision option.
There are no perfect plans and no perfect decisions; we make choices, in a timely manner, modify if necessary and go with them.
