Engage Global Teams with Compassion
The physical distance that separates global teams presents a challenge enough, and yet too often we compound this literal distance with emotional distance. For every hundred miles a team is apart, an emotional disconnect accompanies their separation. The fact of the matter is that combating this emotional distance is a crucial component of maintaining an effective, productive global team. In other words, establishing empathy between members of a global team is critical.
Speaking Out About Shame
Do you ever experience feelings of inadequacy or impostor syndrome? Such sentiments, collectively called "shame," can significantly impact our lives. Typically, shame arises from the belief that we're somehow not measuring up and is closely related to perfectionism. Shame is a painful experience that can leave us feeling isolated and disconnected. Considering that we live in a society where perfectionism and social media's highlight reels are the norms, it's essential to have open and honest conversations about shame and its impact on mental health. Chapter six of Dr. Brown's book, "I Thought It Was Me, But It Isn't," explores how speaking out about shame facilitates expressing emotions and requesting support to fortify our resilience to shame.
Reaching Out: For Women Dealing With Breast Cancer
A while back, when I got into my little Fiat for the forty-minute drive to my six-month checkup and check in with my oncologist. I was a little “hinky” as I always am prior to returning there, but the facility and its staffers are an amazing bunch of healthcare professionals who go out of their way to treat patients as they deserve to be treated.

Opinion: What Happened to Civility?
Everyone knows that life is tough. Probably, tougher than ever. Many of us can barely afford the rooves over our heads, or proper healthcare, or even, the price of a healthy meal for our families. Naturally, this is going to affect our mood and outlook on life as a whole. This is why I believe we need to be kinder to one another, to try and put ourselves in someone else's shoes, no matter how difficult.

Opinion:Healthcare work is not just a pay check..but some workers believe it is
There has been a long debate as to whether being in the healthcare field is simply another job. Some nurses and other healthcare workers have revealed that they entered into the nursing field for money only. The nurses and healthcareworkers know that it is an guaranteed career with decent pay. Being a nurse also means job stability. Nurses can work through agencies and get paid excellent wages.They do not have a comittment to the facility they are working for on that paticular day. Certified nursing assistants also take advantage of the opportunity to work through an agency instead of calling one facility home.

Opinion: No, Psychopaths Are Capable Of Cooperation! That is what makes them so dangerous!
I have been told that psychopaths are not able to cooperate and that people need empathy to work together. However, as someone who looks into abnormal psychology and how people with conditions like antisocial personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder lack empathy/emotional intelligence, this assertion makes little to no sense to me. For one, as I havepointed out before, some of the top jobs for psychopaths are the kind of jobs that require nothing but social interaction and cooperation with others.
