I am truly grateful to everyone who called, texted, and reached out here to check on my family back home in Iran. Your kindness meant more to me than I can fully express.

Moments like this remind me that, at the end of the day, we are all human. We all need one another, especially in times of uncertainty and pain. If we could hold onto that truth a little more, I believe the world would be a far better place.

I will always choose peace over war.

If you’re a zebra and you spend your life trying to walk like a giraffe, you don’t just lose your stripes—you lose yourself.

That’s really what is pushing all of us toward:

The courage to stop performing some “professional” version of who we think we’re supposed to be, and to treat our real selves as an asset in the room, not something to hide.

Be Yourself at Work is Claude’s blueprint for that shift—less pretending, more presence, less “fixing” yourself to fit, more building a life and career that can hold the real you.

If this resonates with you, watch or listen to the full episode with Claude Silver and then grab her book Be Yourself at Work to keep this conversation going in your own life and leadership.

The real test isn’t when you feel like doing the work, it’s when every part of you wants to tap out and you show up anyway. He’s not talking about hype or motivation—he’s talking about keeping a promise to yourself when it would be so easy to break it.

It’s not about being fired up, it’s about who you are on the days you’d rather do anything else.
