Has anyone ever said to you “I quit you”? That sounds weird. And it feels even weirder. Well, I’ve been quit before. And again, recently. Any type of rejection feels that way – even if different phrases are used. Being quit is essentially being dumped, divorced or rejected. Being quit is when someone gives up on […]

Everyone has a story of hitting an emotional wall. But I’m finding it uncanny when I’m watching it happen to so many amazing people around me. We’re a bunch of smart, driven and talented hot messes. I have to wonder, has this current administration put a damper on our psyche? So this story is one […]

Feedback. It’s a touchy subject in the workplace. If there is no trust, then it doesn’t get to a very productive or even emotionally good place.
