At the moment it is even more important that our teams feel safe, heard and working together isn't it?

Empathy, Emotions, vulnerability, these emotions are a part of all of us. This week I'm chatting with Non Wels, founder of the podcast You Me Empathy and the Feely Human Collective, a safe space for us all to learn about ourselves and our emotional lives. Just what we all need right now!

On the show this week my guest is Julie Kratz, an inclusive leadership trainer and founder of Next Pivot Point. We talked at length on what it's like to live and work through this pandemic while having smart conversations about how we want to be now and going forward. How can we be in the driver's seat deciding the path we take through and beyond the crisis? What do we want more of? Less of? How do we make smart decisions and choices as we pivot back to unknown territory after this is over? Listen in!

These days the more we can put our focus on the good in the world the better! Gina Biegel is the author of “Take in the Good- Skills for Staying Positive and Living Your Best Life”. The book has some of my favorite positive coping skills, to help us move away from destructive or harmful patterns and towards ones that can make us happier, healthier and a whole lot better human beings. 

In today’s episode I talk with Christine Clifton about advocacy for ourselves and those we care for when working within the medical system. Being a voice for ourselves or someone else is absolutely key whenever we are engaged within these systems. Christine and I talk about our own experiences with learning to practice self-advocacy and her journey navigating Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

  On the show this week is Bryan Kramer. We’ve been friends for years, and seen the changes in social media marketing from what used to be seen as a marketing tool to people actually want to communicate with each other, and how moving from the hustle of a marketing agency has changed his outlook on work and life.
