And I really did feel such an immediate twist in being like, oh, if I am always asking myself how I'm feeling, there's just less room and space to ask myself how they're feeling about me. Still not perfect. I still go through my moments. But it definitely made a big shift in just how I move.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think... Part of the positive thing in suspending the traditional cause and effect, if I do this super well, then this is going to happen for me because of this event or because of this meeting. I've started to have more kind of personal self-development goals and less career goals when I go into those things. Like what? Meetings. Again, it's being honest.

Like my goal in this meeting is to be as honest as possible. Mm-hmm. about where I am, how I'm feeling. And it happened even last week. I was in a director's meeting and it was a great meeting. I liked the person, but they had some questions on the fact that I live such a straight and narrow life and whether I'd veer from that for the sake of a role.

And it was nice where I think I typically would have just kind of laughed my way out of it and then had the team handle like, oh, tell them there may be a misalignment. It was so nice to have the wherewithal to be like, hey, yeah, I don't think that's the journey I'm interested in going on. I'm not excited by that.

Yeah, and I said it in the meeting, and I think that was really new for me, to be like, I have the feeling. All right. Thank you.

I know where to have the courage.

I know where to have the courage.

Yeah, but I think it was setting intention of saying, oh, if my goal is honesty, if my goal is finding what excites me, then it changes how I move in these rooms, and I honestly feel so much better about it, because the times that I've gone in, I speak in second person at times, the times I've gone in to a meeting with the idea of they are the keepers of this opportunity or thing,

I feel like a short circuit just because it's like what are you supposed to do with that information? Like how does that change how you relate to somebody or how you show up in the world? And so I think the idea of having fun at events, as simple as that is, that's so many times been the intention. Let's say it's the Met Gala and I think there was – it's always like a high energy thing.

But I think we realized pretty quickly it shouldn't be high stress. Again, it's a fundraiser. Right. It's a fundraiser. People spent... X amount for you to show up and get your team out there for you to look a certain way. And so it's nice because when we've been intention setting, it's been like, no, the priority is having fun and having a new experience. The priority is being open.
