Career: Being Different Without Being Weird

📖 Introduction

In today's highly competitive and ever-changing workplace, standing out can feel like a double-edged sword. You want to showcase your unique skills, values, and perspectives, yet there is often pressure to conform just enough to fit in—without becoming "weird" or misunderstood. This tension between being different and belonging is rooted not only in professional dynamics but also in our personal identity and calling.

As believers, we're called to a higher standard, a higher identity that transcends cultural norms.
