@DinaDSmith @HarvardBiz Of course. Thanks for helping lead the conversation!

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

While it's no doubt that leaders are strong and capable, they're not invincible. Great points here from Alicia A. Grandey and @DinaDSmith on why more companies need to support leaders as they juggle increased amounts of #EmotionalLabor. @HarvardBiz https://t.co/frAv4k0dCV

Navigating the workplace means understanding how to navigate emotions. They're a fact of life and will arise at some point in your career. The key is learning how to slow down, process them, and act from a place of being conscious of the impact you make.

[Kenrese Carter MS CNS® LDN @kenresecarter]

.@MarkCCrowley is right— logging on to our computer or stepping into an office doesn't magically make our #emotions disappear. Could embracing them be the key to leading committed and motivated teams at work? https://t.co/iyRp40bzwr

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

You are inextricably linked to others. How you work together becomes key to being good humans and making work better.

When leaders realize it no longer serves to focus solely on their own results, teams and companies become more #resilient and more #productive.

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

Working through problems takes work and will challenge you. You can still adopt an outcome-creating mindset, however, and create momentum and meaning by focusing on the next step and then the next one after that. Know your goal and move towards that!

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

We can’t solve our problems through positive thinking and affirmations alone.

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

Sometimes, it's hard to know when our #values are "ignited." It can happen both when good and bad things happen. The key, however, is to pause and sit in that moment.

It will help deepen your awareness and help you know what really matters to you.

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

Are you managing your life according to your own values, or are you simply being carried along by the tide?

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

@drgurner Changing your playbook isn't easy, but it's essential to growth. In my eyes, the journey starts once you are aware of what is and isn’t working, then choose to do something different and have the courage to try something new! Awareness, Choice and Courage to Change!

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

@sarahnollwilson Love this, Sarah. Hard conversations are intimidating. Regardless of the outcome, it's important to congratulate yourself for being brave enough to have it at all.

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

Today is #NationalStressAwarenessDay. In case you need it, take this post as a sign to slow down and think about how you're feeling. Do you need to take a break?

When it comes to managing stress on a daily basis, having boundaries is crucial. Be clear about them!

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

Here's another #HumanityHotTip!

Look beyond - yourself. We really believe this is a key leadership skill. Look beyond what you need to get accomplished and check in with your people who are helping you get those things accomplished. #leadership #team #humanity @humanityworks_

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

If startups continue to glorify "hustle culture," they could be facing a rude awakening soon. With talent retention more important than ever, humanizing the workplace and prioritizing employee well-being will be key to staying competitive. @YourStoryCo https://t.co/5ga3w6ZSuA

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

A helpful piece of wisdom for your week. Are you willing to open yourself up to change?

[Galen Emanuele @shiftyes]

Being someone who’s coachable makes you a way more valuable part of any team—whether as a leader, coworker, friend, partner, etc. It’s such an easy thing to adopt and embody if you want to. And it’s worth it to your career and the better relationships you’ll build as a result.

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

@sbrownehr Likewise, Steve. Thanks for the shoutout!

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

Is your organization ready to dare to be different? While trends might try to convince you that perks like in-house gyms or happy hours are the key to a great #culture, don't be fooled.

Employees are really looking for a place where they feel safe to be themselves.

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

In our latest newsletter, we highlighted the work of @octanner and the importance of #recognition in the workplace. In their research, they found that there is an 18x increased probability of great work when employees are recognized. More stats below ⬇️ https://t.co/L4024Mm5cz

"People want to improve when it's clear that you care." Couldn't agree more with this. That's why humanity works better. 🙌

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Feedback is not about sizing people up. It's about helping them grow.

78 studies: criticism is more motivating when you (a) meet face-to-face; (b) compare behavior to a standard, not to others; (c) suggest changes to make.

People want to improve when it's clear that you care.

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

@drgurner Showing emotions like compassion and pride in success isn't a weakness but a strength. I love that this realization has started to influence corporate leadership. The goal is to have people want to follow you. If you care for them - they WILL!

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

The truth is that you cannot control the unintended or even intended impacts you make. Life will get messy, and at times you will land in a way that you did not intend.

You cannot and will not be perfect at owning your impact. But you can begin to become aware of it.

[Kate Roeske-Zummer @KateRZummer]

“Never compare your journey with someone else’s. Your journey is your journey, not a competition.” That comparison voice is very old and not serving you any more!

[Jeff Tetz @JeffTetz]

I fall into the comparison trap often.

Why didn’t I think of that? Why aren’t I smarter?

Are what I tell myself when I see people do great things.

The antidote is learning to celebrate accomplishments of others.

To be thankful I’m in a community with so many wonderful people.
