earning respect by knowing your shit
and being good at what you do is easy,
doing it by admitting you are lost and confused
and unsure is more complex.

the books say that vulnerability is en vogue
and we should embrace leading with doubt:

everywhere i go to get away from myself
i end up right where i started. a roller coaster
of self-loathing and over confidence. lazy empty
attempts at growth and evolution mired
in the predictable pit of regression.

not sure how it’s being done-
this leading day-to-day,
but there is crafts(persons)ship in education
like everything else. even after twenty plus
years, honing our craft and practicing new skills.

authenticity may not always appear to be
the pukka thing to do, but should be applauded
when recognised and strived for in practice.
