I am open to learning more about who I am, and how I can bring value to every space I occupy.

When I look in the mirror and affirm this statement, I think of one of the truest things I will probably ever hear in my life — you can never know too much about yourself.
Just last week, I had this really strange feeling during the workday. I was sitting at my desk, in a virtual meeting, when I found myself thinking about ways I could help improve brand strategy and reach for a client, and as the discussion progressed, I saw myself supporting the sales of the business a bit more directly. Although it was a totally warranted thought, given the context, it still felt so strange.
If you have any friends who identify as artists or “creatives,” then you’ve probably heard one or more of them express at one point or another their deeply held disdain for sales. Somehow, in social culture, it’s become sort of an expectation that creative people are too much alive in their imagination to do well in sales. As you can imagine, it is a concept I wholeheartedly abhor.
