December 11: Don't Bury the Drama

Every success has a challenge behind it. Share the hurdles and the strategies you used to overcome them. That’s the real story people want to hear.

Don’t Bury the Drama

Every success has an obstacle behind it. The challenge you faced isn’t something to hide—it’s what makes your achievement powerful. Sharing the drama shows resilience and strategic thinking.

For example, instead of saying, “Launched a new product,” say, “Overcame supply chain delays to launch a product three weeks early, capturing 15% market share within the first month.” See the difference?

Take Action: Reflect on a recent success and identify the main challenge you overcame. Add that detail to the story to showcase the stakes and your solution.
