#ICYMI: About a year ago, I had the privilege of sitting down with Bant Breen to share why supporting #MentalHealth in the #ConstructionIndustry is so important. We covered how the mental health space has evolved over the past few years and where I think it is heading in the future. Check out our whole discussion below, and feel free to join the conversation in the comments.

Regardless of your opinion of the author, this highlights the power of our environment and how much it influences our self-perception. Take the environment we were raised in for example: Generally, our parents didn't want to see us hurt, disappointed, or discouraged. They wanted to protect us. They wanted us to take the path that best-guaranteed success. Safety and security in every sense, physical and non-physical, was their #1 priority. Unfortunately, an unintentional consequence of being raised in that environment is the development of a fear of failure. So, we focus on what could go wrong, instead of all of the great things that could happen. We think, " I can't do that," because that's what we've been taught our whole lives. We were raised to have imposter syndrome. How much is that unintentional consequence still influencing you to this day? Fortunately, it doesn't have to be permanent. Recognizing that it was a learned behavior and not just "who you are" is the first step. Because it was a learned behavior, it **can be unlearned**. This is exactly what coaching can do. What would be possible for you if your own self-perception no longer got in your way? Coaching worked for me and it will work for you. #impostersyndrome #selfperception #confidence #comfortwithuncertainty #coaching #CPA #publicaccounting #awareness #personalgrowth

Chapter 7 of #ReconstructingDEI reveal: Address Conflict and Harm. Even successful #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion work that builds equitable systems doesn't end the possibility for harm; it only reduces it. And conflict—disagreement, argument, competing needs, and so on—is a reality of the human condition. Leaders and practitioners need to get skilled at navigating both. 🌱 Exercise 25: Listen to Understand teaches active listening, the most critical starting skill to addressing conflict or harm. You'll learn four types of active listening skills, practice responding to situations involving conflict or harm, and brainstorm ways to regularly train your active listening muscle in your own day to day experiences. 🌱 Exercise 26: Manage Conflict introduces you to the many different ways you can approach the conflicts you encounter. You'll explore the 5 different conflict styles—avoid, accommodate, compete, compromise, and collaborate—and dive into the nuance to uncover when and how you might use each style effectively, before putting them all into practice. 🌱 Exercise 27: Repair Harm offers an alternative to blunt, punitive, and ineffective ways of addressing interpersonal harm. By learning to center the needs of those harmed and flexibly working to make things right, you'll dramatically expand your understanding of accountability and transform empathy, humility, and problem-solving into restoring broken relationships. 🌱 Exercise 28: Unearth Root Causes teaches you to trace back the symptoms of harm back to their systemic roots, and gain the understanding you need to turn small-scale restorative practices into large-scale transformative ones. By diagnosing root causes, you'll be able to strategize about just what "systemic change" needs to target, address, and fix. Of these four exercises, which stands out most to you? Which do you feel like will be most valuable to your personal learning journey as a leader and a practitioner when the book comes out in November? Share your thoughts in the comments; I'll be sharing more sneak peeks and insights based on what folks are most excited to see!

I often get asked "how can I work with you?" And I generally reply "however you want to." 😆 That's the cool thing about how we work together is that we DON'T have to fit inside a box or do what's always been done. You will never find me inside a clammy or sterile office ~ we can hit the beach, the Cafe, meet online or hang at my beautiful rural place. Even my in-person courses and PD workshops are held offsite from your office and always have to have a view and delicious food. We do REAL life together, outside of the norm ~ whether you're after 1:1 personal coaching, professional supervision, an ongoing course or a one-and-done workshop, I've got you! ✨️ DM me and let me know what YOU need to support your healing and learning journey.
