And it's,

You know, that's another one of her things is that your reputation is your currency and people speaking about you matters more than you speaking about you for exactly that reason.

Thank you.

Well, people follow people, not companies.

And it's increasingly that way in this climate we're in.

So knowing that, it's so important.

And I think it's different for everybody.

Fortunately, I have been blessed with opportunities to work with some C-suite leaders who needed that exact help.

And coaching them and working with them taught me a lot too.

But the thing that I would say is,

I think the most important thing that they can do is just start and just be themselves.

And a lot of them don't start.

A lot of them just say, well, I don't know where to start, so I'm not going to do it.

And, you know, you can get help too.

Like asking for help is a thing.

And I think maybe...

Maybe that's something that the C-suite folks struggle a little bit with is literally making the ask for help because it shows a level of vulnerability and, you know, they have learning to do too.

But there's a lot to be gained from these leaders who may not have like the right resources.

words to say or don't know where to go but the most important thing they can do is just start and not be afraid to mess it up and not be afraid to fail and not be afraid to really just be themselves because people will sniff out the not themselves real quick these days so I think it's it's just so important and and who they are is a gift you know we all have struggle and we all have

gifts that need translating sometimes, but they are no different than that.
