Overcome the fear of being your true self

Being an authentic person means having specific opinions and values, and people who have different values will not like what you say or do.

  • Show that excellence is not tied to external packaging.
  • Bring yourself to work, then be excellent.
  • Show that your work is going to bring value, even with blue hair or braids.

    Sean Green

    Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.
