Unmasking Your Life

During the holiday season, family gatherings can bring a mix of joy and tension such as when Susan found herself preparing for another holiday with her family. For years, she wore a mask of perfection—the jovial daughter, the dutiful sister, and the calm intermediary in family conflicts. But inside, she felt overwhelmed beneath the festive façade.

As her family jovially gathered around the table, her brother’s sarcasm and jabs about her career choices began, she felt the familiar urge to retreat behind her mask. But this year was different; she had been working on embracing her authentic self. It was time to start getting real.

We all wear masks at times in our life and in our leadership. Masks can be both a blessing and a curse.
