We embrace intensity and transparency. When we are avoidant, we can't evolve. We lean into tension, bringing clarity to messy drawers.

It is

Candor with compassion. Not walking on eggshells. Communicating openly. Facing uncomfortable truths. Encouraging productive debate. Asking tough questions. Acknowledging and addressing bias. Translating chaos into clarity. Going direct. Willingness to disagree and commit.

It is not

Creating unnecessary intensity or drama. Crossing personal boundaries. Dominating others. Disclosing confidential information. Gossiping. Acting like a jerk.
