The little white lie, it's no big deal. But it does contradict the whole truth and nothing but the truth sentiment. So which one is right? Let's say your boss asks you to be totally honest with her - and being totally honest would mean that you tell her that she is not as good of a communicator as she thinks she is and that oftentimes she is the reason projects aren't delivered as promised or on time... This is the person that signs your check. How honest should you be? Is there room for partial truth in business? Listen now to hear the People Centric Team team unpack this seemingly simple topic.

Comparison is the thief of joy. And when things don't measure up to our expectations, our own comparison between the expectation and the reality can make for a pretty crummy situation. On this episode, the People Centric team talks through what happens when we compare, what we can do to shift our mindset, and how to deal when we realize that our reality will just never be what we expected.
