Key Takeaways:
- Sometimes we feel we must have it all together. That it’s not ok to admit we need help. Laura Williams shares you don't have to be perfect. She used to think everything had to have a grand plan and be tied up in a bow before she could start. Self-care can be messy, but taking small steps towards healing can make all the difference.
As a manager, she initially thought she had to be perfect and couldn’t show weakness. Now she understands that as a manager, it’s even more important to increase her emotional connection with herself, as this increased connection allows her to show up as a more effective leader for her team.
