It’s interesting you mention under promising. As a sales professional, we’ve been taught to under promise and over deliver. We also like to use words such as typically, sometimes etc. so we don’t over promise. However, I can see your point and the reasoning is compelling.

"As you work for that sweet spot of communication, steer clear of being overconfident, overengineered, or overtime." I love it!

A great theme and a fantastic reminder. Laozi wrote about The Golden Mean and its importance in so many aspects of life--the effort we exert on tasks, the way we invest in relationships, how much ice cream to eat :). I think about this often.

Great to see Sarah on stage--I also loved her talk. Keep on posting your gold my friend.
