I am here. During this time of physical distancing, we have the chance to deepen our love and closeness with the people inside our “bubbles,” in particular. Physically, I’m at home with my family for the foreseeable future, but it’s important to ask: is the rest of me here, too? Am I 100% present right […]
I See You These are three of the most powerful words in the English language. Why is this? Because as human beings we have a deep need to know that we exist. Another way of saying it is that we matter – to ourselves and others. Regardless of our race, religious beliefs, competencies, or shortcomings, […]
Does Time Manage You? Are you sick and tired of running out of time? Does it seem like there is never enough? Did last year “go really fast”? If these sound familiar, then you’re probably suffering from Time Sickness. Most of us have a deeply unhealthy relationship with time. And, if you have, it’s no […]

Your body language is always saying something. An earlier post discussed the importance of body language in person; this one looks at it during video conferences. We spend a lot of time in meetings and many of them, thanks to companies like Zoom, and Google Hangouts, are held digitally, offering richer ways to communicate. And we’ve […]
It didn’t make sense. A week ago Tayla’s supervisor seemed positive about her proposal. Sure, he hadn’t made much eye contact and looked distracted. But she’d just put that down to him being busy because he’d used the words “the project will probably get the go-ahead.” So when he turned it down, Tayla was shocked. If […]
Changing Depression We are never the same person we were yesterday. Even if we’re with the same people, eat the same foods, and watch the same TV shows, we’re always changing.
