I t is my contention that “trauma/addiction experts” and psychiatrists cause unnecessary harm to people who are suffering and feeling emotional pain by categorizing them, generalizing about their unique behaviours and by labeling certain types of behaviours as “addictions” and “mental illnesses”. Also, the validity and relevance of describing people’s behaviours in terms of their “mental health” is questionable as I believe that people suffer when they are mistreated and not loved, and it is a n

When you hear the term mental toughness, what comes to mind? How would you explain it to someone? Poise or staying cool under pressure, confidence, composure, focused: all accurate descriptors I have heard that add up to the ability to handle and mitigate the human fight, flight, or freeze stress response. The problem with these words is that they all describe an end state, but not how to get there.

It’s happened to the best of us. You’re in a meeting—perhaps learning about a new company initiative or listening to a boss who wasn’t happy with your team’s performance—and you have something to say, but then you just… don’t. Because, after all, you want to keep your job, or you are worried it will come out wrong. But some workplace experts are speaking up and encouraging employees to do just the same in 2024; perhaps the only “resolution” you will need this year is some real talk.

How we work, where we work, and when we work have been focal points of many employee satisfaction conversations for quite some time. Employers have been reimagining and reassessing work models. Employees have been taking a closer look at how their professional and personal lives intersect.

It has become something of a preoccupation of mine to consider why so many of the conversations we hold about workplace design are largely about the rediscovery of old ideas. It may be because there are constants about how people interact with their surroundings and each other and the truisms underlying those interactions. Although these are often reframed by the amount of data we now have to support them, some things never change.

These coaches made lasting impacts on their respective teams. As they step away, many are wondering, How could any new coach ever replace them?

Rarely do we think about what is going on for the people within the organisation and just how ready they and the organisation itself are for the actual change and the disruptors that underly it.

We’ve all heard the term “wears many hats” when talking about a specific role at a company, but that cannot be more true for an executive assistant (EA). An EA is an administrative professional within a company that assists the executives or C-suite level employees with responsibilities and tasks daily. An EA may also be in charge of making sure office functions and specific operations run smoothly.
