Glen told me to "get back in the kitchen" under one of my videos last week. I don't know Glen..I could turn off the comments. Block him. Move on.But here's what I can't stop thinking about: Glen has a job. He works with people. Maybe manages people.And if he's comfortable saying that where I can see it, what's he doing in the spaces where I can't?The eye rolls. The knowing glances. The pointed silences that are designed to be deniable.In this episode, I'm getting real about what these moments actually do to us as leaders - and the choice we're all facing about whether to make ourselves smaller or show up anyway.   -----------------------Craving inspiration?I send an email each Sunday about leadership reflection, top tips to build an intentional & sustainable life and other things that have captured my attention and are too good not to share!
