Nice piece, @OlgaMecking. When I hear people say 'Oostblok' here in NL, I cringe. https://t.co/qlTYf9tYP3

Great talk w/ @OlgaMecking about NOTHING. I don't mean we didn't talk about anything. We talked about breaks, down time, & the healing joy of utterly unstructured moments. If you're in a state of perpetual overwhelm, give this a listen. NOTHING is waiting. https://t.co/QVCcJnh2XM

Leaders and managers too often think of resilience as a personal trait—something you either have or you don’t. Instead, we should think of it as a state that any employee can attain as the result of a supportive environment. https://t.co/CKyECcXi2u
