Choose your hat

🎩 In work (and life) we wear many hats 

Working in teams I often saw people wearing these kinds of hats:

- The facilitator

- The beginner

- The expert

- The mentor

- The organiser

- The leader

- The liminal thinker

- The visualiser

- The fixer

- The futurist

- The pragmatist

- The writer

- The organiser

- The supporter

- The advocate

- The teacher

- The strategist

- The systems thinker

- The listener

- The space holder

- The explorer

- The tester

- The communicator

- The storyteller

- The connector

- The risk taker

Sometimes people are wearing hats that are invisible and hidden from view. They might be:

- The imposter

- The empty vessel

- The rejector

- The burned

- The blamer

- The bored

- The confused

- The quiet one

- The loud one

Sometimes we get stuck wearing the same hat for too long and we form an identity with it.

Sometimes that’s helpful, and sometimes it’s not.

This is your reminder that you can take off the hat you’re wearing at anytime. You don’t need to glue it on if it no longer fits.

You are not a hat.
