At #rsthecon I kept reminding myself that I was there for a reason. And at the end of the day, I want people to like me for me. Kindness goes such a long way. AND you never know who may seem intimidating but is actually intimidated by YOU. Sometimes when we feel introverted it translates as standoffish or “snobbish” (I used to get this in school because I was quiet), and those are the people who need a “Hi!” and a “Hello!” the most. Or the way I like to easily start a conversation – a compliment! Trust me, everyone loves a good compliment, and you’ll actually feel better too.

At the end of the day, my goal is to always be inclusive, a friend, humble, hard-working, creatively me, and to never take an opportunity for granted. It’s so easy to place ourselves under a microscope when our world starts to revolve around “likes” and possessions, or to wish we had what others have. But I encourage each of you, whether reader or influencer:

Let the success of others motivate you to be your best self and propel you to achieve the greatest of your goals. #caredontcompare

On Wednesday, I’ll be back with another outfit from the conference and more about the components of education, brand meetings, and events. 

I hope all of you have an incredible Monday!
