They talked about their vision and ideas instead of tearing down others.

I want to share three true stories of people in tech who stood out because they talked about their vision and ideas instead of tearing down others.

🤩 One friend talked about "being in service to the community" and followed through by helping others find their first job in tech. I watched him share advice, make introductions, and set up opportunities for others to find mentors. Karma repaid him tenfold with opportunities and a legion of supporters.

🤩 Another friend was big on being part of others' journeys into tech and opening doors to rooms where that next-level conversation was happening. I watched him mentor person after person until he had a broad circle of over-achievers surrounding him. I didn't understand why he wanted to be in rooms with others until I saw him make big boss moves. He was quietly learning and absorbing knowledge.

🤩 A third friend was quiet until he would show up and show out. He believed in being an expert at your craft and sharing that knowledge. I watched his career rise because others saw that passion for excellence, not drama. When we were in the same space, he always led with positivity, compassion, and humor.

💓 I would love to hear other examples of people with visions lifting the community. Shout them out in the comments.
