I am currently reading “Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up” by Jerry Colonna. The book is a about resetting the balance of your life through deep self-inquiry and the head-on examination of what drives us – the good, the bad and the ugly of what has molded us. 

Colonna asks a simple but powerful question – “What is one thing you wish your colleagues knew about you?”

In my day job (not my side hustle Tree Toad Consulting) I am fortunate to work with several people I am very close with. These folks pretty much know everything about me. Many of the other folks I routinely work with have known me for a significant portion of my 20-year tenure so it is difficult to think of something I would still like them to know.

If I think of new people I meet in my work I would want them to know that each time I start a new assignment or project I struggle with powerful feelings of being an imposter and a fear that someone is going to call me out on it.

What is the one thing you wish your colleagues knew about you?
