Practicing radical self-acceptance and magical thinking have made me more optimistic, with less self-doubt. I feel more grounded being able to either succeed or learn (not fail) in my work. Removing constraints of what I think/ thought a leader "should" be allows me to develop into my potential. Better understanding myself as a person and leader means I can be more present in my work and mindful of my purpose.
