CBQ: What assumptions have you made about other leaders?

We sometimes make assumptions and generalize leaders, and when we do, we don't see deeper. In the movie One night in Miami, it depicts how four important black men can share commonalities, but have different motivators and approaches to achieving their success.

• Biases
• Empathy takes effort
• One size doesn't fit all

"If you're a real leader you want the high performer to move on to greener pastures." - JK

CBQ: What's the WORST piece of advice you have listened to?

A boss can only take you where they've been and listening to their advice can actually be worse for YOU. It may not be bad advice, but it's not what you specifically need. As a leader, think beyond the role you're training them for and be aware of the limits your words can project onto others.

Think of your past bosses... Who did you/should NOT have listened to? What advice are YOU projecting today?

"I love finding buried treasure, anywhere that I walk into I feel I can find one quality piece." - CK

CBQ: "What is something you've enjoyed selling?"

If it looks old, it's more valuable than you think. Courtneys passion, turned side hustle, is hunting for treasure in the form of mid-century furniture. She gains energy from searching, revamping and staging vintage pieces, while her partner in crime, myself, is more enthused by the profiting part of the process. As a creative, finding a partner who can compliment you without limiting you is sometimes what you need to make it work, in business and in life.
