Meaningful careers are forged by providing meaningful moments for others. That’s also how you become irreplaceable. This comes in many different shapes and sizes. Some take the more vocal approach. But lean into what works for you.

Being consistently generous is how you quietly stand outm as well as desiring the best for others. The most impactful thought leaders are first and foremost thoughtful people.

The most valuable people take the time to understand what other people value. We don't need to be outgoing or overly vocal to make an impact. We just have to be curious and empathetic and under­stand thoughtfulness is forever cool.
