The stories I tell myself establish the direction of how I interact in all my relationships. My belief is that sharing in stories is one of the three most important skills that we possess as humans. 

String two or more of those interactions together and that exchange is more accurately described as navigating relationships, which I believe is the second of the three most important skills that we possess.

Classy Problems is a Story of We.

When we share in stories with each other, we connect. In making those connections we are building bridges, which I believe is the third most important skill.

Lastly, I don’t believe in perfect gurus or special snowflakes. 

How does that story establish a direction, help us navigate, and connect? 

It means there are no gurus or snowflakes in the story of we. If I’ve chosen to write ‘we’, I am sharing an aspect of the story of the human condition. When I use ‘we’, that’s me politely reminding us that this is our story – that it’s not my unique experience.

No gurus or snowflakes, just us.

So, I’m going to use the word ‘we’ because we are definitely in this together and you’ve opted in.
