Kauai best island

I've been to Hawaii 6 times. 5 times to Oahu. Trust me when I say Honolulu is getting overcrowded. I recommend staying at Ko Olina. Far enough out where you don't hear traffic at 3am but close enough to shopping and food. Big island is nice but a bit too untamed for my taste

Honolulu has more shopping, restaurants and shopping, but feels more like a crowded city than an island paradise. I recommend focusing on the big island, and perhaps spending 2 or 3 days in Honolulu.

I second Ko Olina - the Four Seasons there is amazing. We stayed there for New Years ever and I did not want to leave. They bring free drinks around at the adult pool every afternoon.

Neither. Maui instead

Depends on what you expect of “Hawaii”. Oahu is dense, but more options for food and nightlife good selection of outdoor stuff, but have fun with traffic, museums are decent. Big Island has biggest mix of outdoor activity/sights, most space, split the island and plan accordingly.

There is no comparison at all. I would personally skip Oahu except for Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head.

I'm struggling with imposter syndrome. I'm from a working class background, c.10 years exp in marketing & c.3 years in snr leadership. I'm in an exe leadership team with all men. It's all very fluid. Frequent restructures. Bitching/gossiping at snr level.

I feel like I'm not good enough, dynamic enough, doing enough. I ask open qz, probing for feedback. It all seems positive/constructive. With the toxicity, I don't trust any of it. Does anyone have any suggestions to navigate and overcome IS?

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.
