As I have written a few times before - we're all struggling with our own battles. In our 'work world' this isn't always addressed.. in fact, I'd argue that most of us sweep our own battles under a rug from 9-5, Monday-Friday.
In 2020, I have a challenge for you - and for me - in the height of our busy professional schedules. I challenge you to 12 acts of understanding this year.
Once a month, think about your professional contacts, your colleagues, your clients, etc, and think of one person who may be struggling with grief. Maybe it is a boss who lost a grandparent, or an acquaintance whose partner died last year. This year, our challenge is to push past the uncomfortable nature, past the rug-sweeping, and reach out. Make a difference, acknowledge that they may be grieving, and let them know that you are thinking of them.
This is going to be a bit of an experiment for me, but I hope you'll join me. In French, instead of 'good luck' the term that is used is 'bon courage'... this is what I wish for all of us willing to take on this challenge.
