When we leave an experience where we presented our imperfect selves yet felt belonging, we feel energized and at our best. When we leave an experience where we presented our imperfect selves and were ignored or ridiculed, we feel deeply disconnected and disengaged.
This is as true at work as it is in the rest of our lives. Our best selves emerge when we have experiences that connect us and create a sense of belonging.
