Professional and cultural protocol dictate expectations I find challenging as I seek to be transparent and authentic. The “spin” of today’s communication experts have homogenized many of us into working to be accepted to the point of losing our true selves.

The old medical maxim, “first, do no harm” seems appropriate in my expression of real self. Hopefully, as I am transparent and authentic I don’t offend or hurt anyone else. Beyond that, everyone loses when I am not “me.”

Good though provokers. Since I am the exravert who has to curb her talking it is interesting that we two extremes struggle with the same issues.
