My former company recently asked me to speak at their national conference. I didn’t leave on “good” terms with a couple people, so I thought the invitation was odd. I met the request with skepticism, but ultimately chose to oblige out of respect for the person who brought up the idea. The experience humbled me, inspired me, and energized me to revisit musings about productivity, leadership, and self-investment.
One of the slides on my power point presentation read,
You owe it to yourself & the people around you to be the best version of you.
