Avoiding Difficult Conversations Is the Opposite of Kindness
Last month, my daughters graduated from high school. The night before the ceremony, we had a celebration dinner with our tribe, the people who helped us get to that moment. My joy came from knowing how much we had overcome together. High school is full of ups and downs, and the dinner was a moment…

When Capacity Is Limited: How Managers Can Prevent Employee Burnout and Keep Performance Intact

When the world is on fire, we still have to work together
When my marriage was unraveling, I kept asking myself, “How did I get here?” Over the past few weeks, I’ve found myself asking the same question again, but on a much larger scale, “How are we still here?” Six years later. Sixty years later. Still protesting for basic human rights. Still repeating conversations we…

When what’s happening outside of work shows up inside it
This month has already started heavy. In recent days, many people have watched videos of Renee Nicole Good being killed. For some, this has triggered memories of George Floyd’s murder in Minnesota six years ago. Fear, anger, grief, and numbness are present in conversations and in the ways people show up or pull back…
