## Resource

Starting a new role, joining a new team or entering a different culture can be unsettling. The expectations feel different. The responses you receive aren't what you expected. And sometimes, without realising it, you start holding back. In this Quick Spoon , Ross explores a common misunderstanding about adaptability. It's not about becoming smaller or suppressing what matters to you. It's about finding a way to express what matters in a way that fits the context. Reflection Questions Where are you currently holding back more than you'd like? What's one small way you could contribute more visibly this week?
