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.

The Gift of Clarity: Aligning What Matters

The Gift of Clarity: Aligning What Matters

As this year-like-no-other draws to a close, I’ve reflected on some of the most consequential lessons learned and have been reminded of what matters the most. Some of the former are in this blog, along with thoughts to enter 2021 with a sense of purpose and intention. As for what matters, it’s been with me all along – like Dorothy’s ruby slippers – and it’s family, friends, and community. In that spirit, a huge thank you for being in conversation with me, for being my sources of inspiration, and for showing up as you do. Wishing you health and happiness this season and beyond.
