Share your professional failures

When in doubt, share your professional failures. If you’ve had any level of success in your career, sharing failures shows there’s room for growth for everyone at all levels. Nobody’s perfect and we all struggle at times, so people appreciate and connect with those kinds of experiences far more than some glossy accomplishment.

So share your tough moments and your missteps. Be honest and transparent. It might be hard to do and maybe even a little embarrassing, but that little bit of selflessness is an excellent way to teach and help grow others.
