Quick Tip: It is okay to be imperfect

It is ok to be wrong and imperfect and admit to it. Part of building a strong long term relationship with someone is being authentic and being human. Having a real conversation.

Help others out by sharing your experiences and your story. This might be through mentoring or just an informal chat. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone is constantly learning.

While it is important to be professional, building an appearance of perfectionism can work against you. It doesn’t appear authentic or build trust. It doesn’t help you be relatable to others. It doesn’t help you find common ground and develop relationships with your peers and contacts.

Be yourself don’t be afraid to admit to the times you got it wrong or to how you’re constantly learning. No one is perfect.
