Allies

Allies are those individuals in your circle who see your blindspots and aren't afraid to point them out. They challenge you. Support you and call you out when you need it. An ally will have the tough conversation with you because they love and believe in you. Allies are not "yes" men/women and won't necessarily tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. If you don't have an ally in your circle, trying being one for someone and perhaps they will do the same for you.
