Tell me if this has ever happened to you:
You’re at a party, and someone asks what you do. Heads turn toward you. That spark lights up in your chest — this is your chance to share the work that matters most to you! You have a mission, a real one. Something that could change the lives of the people you serve.
But then… nothing.
The words don’t come out the way they feel inside. You hesitate, stammer … then in panic, reach for the safe answer.
“Uh… I work in X.”
The moment slips away. “Interesting!” Your audience says as their eyes glaze over.
The conversation moves on, and your mission — the one you care about so deeply — stays locked inside.
