Early in her career, Tina Seelig's boss told her to misrepresent herself at a conference.

She did it. She got caught.

She had no line drawn, so she crossed one without seeing it.

That is how the slippery slope works.

Then another.

Then you are committed to a course of action that ends in damage.

Tina's lesson?

If you do not define your values before the pressure arrives, someone else will define them for you.

And you will not like where that leads.
