Three times this week I heard, "I'm sorry. I'm a sweaty mess." I even said it once myself. Why did I apologize for showing up on a video call after a workout? I had showered, but it's Atlanta, and it's August. It's hot.

Of course, I would not show up sweaty for a Board presentation. Of course, I would not attend a client meeting still panting from the Peloton. But fitting movement into our daily work routine should be celebrated.

Move. Work out on work days where you can. At a minimum, encourage more walk-and-talks in person or by phone. And if it's summer, I might even show up "glowing."

No apologies.
