Working in sustainability isn't what most people think. It’s not just about knowing the frameworks, the data, or the regulations. That part is important. But it’s not the hard part. The hard part?…

Writing style breakdown

I used to think that being a leader meant having all the answers.

I thought I had to be the smartest person in the room.

The one who never stumbled.

The one who always knew the next move.

But the more I grow in my career, the more I realize...

that’s not leadership. That’s just ego.

Real leadership is often about

→ Admitting when you don’t know the way forward

→ Creating space for others to be the experts

→ Being okay with the fact that you are a work in progress

I remember a meeting early in my career where I stayed silent because I was afraid of asking a "stupid" question.

I spent the whole hour nodding.

And I left the room more confused than when I walked in.

Looking back, that silence didn't make me look smart.

It just slowed down the project.

Now, I’ve learned to say

I don’t understand that. Can you explain it again?

It felt uncomfortable at first.

But it changed everything.

Because when you stop pretending, you start actually learning.

And people respect honesty a lot more than they respect a polished mask.

What’s a "lesson" you had to unlearn as you progressed in your career?

Happy Wednesday 😄
