The king is important, but...

Where the king is product focused, the queen is customer focused. She understands the reality of people's lives and the context they operate in.

Confronting your fears.

The only way to deal with fear, is to confront it, but it can be a pretty fearful experience if you haven't done it before.

If you don't fit the norm, don't.

Your inner child.
