humility

Life-long learner

Both Jamaican and Danish cultures value humility. I was raised to stay grounded and not "get too big for my boots." Humility is important, but sometimes you need to set it aside and remember that sharing your accomplishments isn't bragging if you’ve done the work.


I’ve learned that the less I strive for perfection, the easier it is to connect with people. Recently, Casper Emil from SparkForce gave a masterclass for my Brotherhood for Professionals of Color (BPoC) community, and he encouraged us to share our personal brand with more people. Now, I am posting on LinkedIn on a regular basis - wish me luck.

Ask questions

Arrogance pretends it knows, whereas humility shows up to learn. I think we all desire knowledge and seek to avoid appearing ignorant, ultimately transforming learners into knowledgeable individuals by showing up to learn rather than pretending to know it all.

  • Why is it important to test assumptions?

  • Can you give me an example of a situation where testing assumptions led to a positive outcome?

  • What are some common barriers to exploring different options?

  • How do you personally challenge yourself to grow and develop?

  • In what contexts do you find it challenging to listen deeply, and how can you overcome those challenges?

  • What has been a significant change you've made in your life, and what motivated it?

  • Can you explain the concept of feedback loops and their significance in various scenarios?

  • How do you go about seeking input from others, and why is it valuable?

Kindness is a strength

I think practicing kindness and humility allows us to grow as individuals as it helps us cultivate self-awareness. When we understand our own strengths and weaknesses while appreciating the value and worth of others is a manifestation of inner strength and confidence. And this nicely demonstrates that we don't need to tear others down to feel good about ourselves. Being kind releases endorphins, which boosts our mood and reduces stress. Numerous studies have shown that acts of kindness can improve our mental and physical well-being. It also enhances our sense of purpose and fulfilment, contributing to overall happiness and satisfaction in life.
