Another excellent post! You had me at her first sentence: “Leading authentically is not a style; it's a commitment to aligning our actions and behaviors with the version of ourselves we desire to become.”
You are right that we are not what we do. We are what we value and how we act.
What we do is certainly important within the context of the value we create in life. But it has no foundation if we don’t place intention into who we are and how we show up. It has to be both-and. Character and competence.
Please forgive my off-schedule post - I had my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday, and other priorities ensued ahead of time!
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
So far so good!

I've love to talk more about this with you Josh!
"There are two parts to self-awareness:
Internal Self-Awareness - how we see ourselves regarding values, passions, aspirations, fit within our environment, reactions, and impact on others.
External Self-Awareness - understanding how others view us within the same."
I’d be more than happy to have dialogue around this. There’s always different lenses from which we can view the dynamics of this topic.
