Takeaways


 


Authentic Networking: Building genuine connections should be the
focus, not just selling or gaining something. It's about making
others feel seen and appreciated, rather than using robotic
outreach or prospecting tactics. 


 


Embracing Creativity: Creativity isn't just about originality,
but also about bringing new life to things that didn't exist
before. It's about thinking differently and embracing alternative
perspectives. Whether you're an artist or in any other industry,
applying acting techniques can ignite your imagination and open
new doors.


 


Neurodiversity & Connection: Cara shares her journey with
ADHD and the importance of embracing neurodiversity. By being
true to ourselves and connecting with like-minded individuals, we
create a safe space where everyone feels empowered to be their
authentic selves. Let's reject societal expectations and
celebrate our uniqueness!
