You have done some pretty incredible things in your time.
I know you have.
Now and then someone will notice one of your accomplishments and give you a compliment or pat you on the back.
Every. Single. Time this happens – own it.
Even if you don’t think it was a big deal.
Even if it seemed to come easily and you did not feel as if you had to work hard enough for it.
Even if it feels embarrassing.
Say thank you.
And then be quiet.
There is no need to explain it, justify it, diminish it.
Just own it.
