Cup Of Jo: Shifting Gears Away From Trauma Bonds

Shifting away from the drama a team has come through and resetting energy and perspectives toward a more positive future can be a challenge. Occasionally rehashing war stories to relish the bonds formed under pressure can be instructive if done to inform future actions. However, focusing on these times as a way to hold on to the connections formed can keep you (and those you lead) stuck in the past, failing to move forward.

Here's some simple advice on imbuing those connections with generative energy and repurposing them for the future you're working toward.

There is a path to healing. Moving from conflict to reconciliation requires two main elements, but within each, there is real work to be done. In this video, I delve into what they are and why they are important.

Finding Purpose

Cup of Jo: What Is A Personal Manifesto?

Cup of Jo: What Is A Personal Manifesto?

Personal manifestos are a great place to start if you are looking to create a narrative about who you are, what you value, and the contributions you have made through your work and activities. I prefer this to a standard resume, as it frees us up to speak in ways that are specific, comprehensive, and powerful. The story we tell about our life (so far) is much more compelling than a bullet point list of achievements and allows for our personality and unique combination of characteristics to shine.

Civic Participation in 2020

There’s an important day coming right around the corner. As members of a shared society, we have a responsibility to participate in the process of shaping the government that serves us in any way we can.
