Great conversation and thank you.
I too was reserved and keeping the two worlds separated.
However, qualities of a leader have been changing and transparency, likability, being yourself have become more attractive in recent times.
You be the judge if you can experiment with this in the current culture.
I have found as a leader of others, taking some time to be personal before being transactional is a great ice-breaker and keeps things in perspective: We're all part of humanity and take it or leave it -we are parents, partners, friends, someone's child and we have all these common touch points with other people.
Let's make sure we do connect with our colleagues on a personal level.
Be well-Deb
