What is humility and how do you keep it from holding you back?

Is it only possible for people who already have power or already have a name to be humble?

 

Being humble might just mean no one ever knows how good you are because if you aren’t talking about it no one else is either.

 

Coach MJ Tolan talked about how humility is really important for leaders. But what does it mean to be humble?

 

Lise McDonald pointed out that if you need to tell people you are humble, you’re not. And further into the conversation she shared that one way to be humble is, instead of thinking about that you’re talking about yourself, think about talking about who you serve and how you do that.

 

“You're not bragging, you're demonstrating your value, that's showing more humility.”

 

Cole Galloway is always ready to acknowledge that being a white, straight male he, and those like him, have an easier time being humble and still being carried along by the tide.

 

Sitting back and thinking, “I’ll let other people notice and then I will get rewarded” has never worked for me.
