I’d love to hear from you:
- How do you think each of us contributes towards a culture of bullying and aggression towards those who are different from us?
- Should our politicians and leaders be behaving more responsibly?
- And what action could you take, today, to step up and make a bigger difference?
I’d love to hear from you, via the comments.

P.S. One of the biggest triggers for behaving the way that Philip Hammond did today is Imposter Syndrome – fear of feeling like a fraud and not being good enough. If you’d like to join me for our Imposter-Syndrome-Ditching Mastermind in the next few weeks, please get in touch ASAP. x C.
