Bring Your Whole Self To Work

This whole experience with the coronavirus continues to be bizarre, challenging, fascinating, scary, and more.  The paradox of this moment is that while we are all physically separated from one another, we’re also together in this experience.  For those of us who are able to work from home, we’re both fortunate and we’re also probably dealing with lots of practical challenges in this regard.  In this episode, I talk about some specific things we can do to stay connected to our teams so that we can not only get our work done effectively, but grow, develop, and deepen our relationships and our culture in the process.  Remembering and operating from the perspective that we’re all in this together, which we are, is essential right now. Here are the specific suggestions I make in this episode: 1.  Address the moment, your feelings, and other people’s feelings 2.  Over-communicate 3.  Double down on authenticity - do the “if you really knew me” exercise 4.  Appreciate people - use the “appreciation seat” exercise 5
