"Psychological safety is about permission for candor – not the absence of tension."

What People Get Wrong About Psychological Safety
Psychological safety—a shared belief among team members that it’s OK to speak up with candor—has become a popular concept. However, as its popularity has grown, so too have misconceptions about it. Su...

…You are an actor in a play, the character of which is determined by the Playwright: if He wishes the play to be short, it is short; if long, it is long…For this is your business, to play admirably the role assigned you; but the selection of that role is Another's.

I felt this one... Thanks @jeffersonfisher.bsky.social from The Next Conversation.

Speaking Their (Love) Language: A Simple Guide to Love and Appreciation
I've had the opportunity to lead several small groups and team meetings based on the ideas presented in 5 Love Languages and the workplace-centric version, 5 Languages of Appreciation. Understanding the needs and communication styles of those you're around makes nearly everything easy, better, and more meaningful. The Five Love Languages (5LL) by Dr. Gary Chapman was released in 1992. Chapman introduced the framework to help individuals express and receive love and appreciation in meaningful ways.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Have you ever stopped to wonder what people will remember about you—not for what you owned, but for what you gave to the world? We know that it's none of these things, and what matters is the indelible mark we leave on others and the change we bring within our circle of influence.

The Power of Encouragement – The Life of a Super Encourager
Encouragement can make the difference between a good day and a bad one. It's the ingredient that, for some reason, we can be stingy about sharing. Encouragement can speak life into someone, helping them pick themselves up and keep moving forward, even when (or maybe especially when) they didn't believe they could continue, let alone make it through. Encouragement, in all its various forms, can foster deep relationships and has a broader ripple effect than you might imagine.

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

Author and poet Maya Angelou on persistence:
"My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. The effect you have on others’ lives is the highest expression of your own."

Personal Review Framework – My Version of an Introduction
Self-reflection is an essential ingredient for personal and professional growth. Making the intentional decision to slow down… quiet down, and consider your circumstances, the things you've learned, and what and how you want things to be different can reveal more than you imagine. I have a series of questions I use that I found in an HBR article entitled, not surprisingly, "How to Create Your Own 'Year in Review.'" I've modified how I use the questions and customized them for my conversations.

Servant Leadership – My Version of an Introduction
When "leadership" is mentioned, many ideas can come to mind. Vision. Decisiveness. Strength. Strategic. Competitive. All of these may be accurate. Many are desirable, but some, depending on how they are portrayed, may not. Two ideas have influenced my perspective on leadership. The first came from my business coach, who said, "The accumulation of little things is often more impactful than the one 'big thing.'" The second is a succinct quote from John Maxwell: "Leadership is Influence." These quotes added nuance to my experiences with the leaders in my life—both good and not-so-good.

Once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through...You won't even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.
