Reflections on the Art of Being Human at Work.

The End of Suffering Is Not the End of Pain What is my suffering doing, if I do not attend to it? How is it shaping the way I show up with others? Where is it narrowing my capacity to see clearly, to listen, to remain open?
The End of Suffering The end of suffering, then, is not a future achievement. It is a shift in relationship. Pain remains part of life. Loss remains part of love. But the belief that we are uniquely broken, uniquely punished, uniquely alone begins to dissolve.
The Mutuality of Redemption Leaders, parents, neighbors—we all stand at the threshold of becoming, faced with choices that can free or imprison us, choices that ripple through the lives of those around us.
Leading in an Angry Ocean: A Call For Redemptive Leadership In an ocean of angry words, redemptive leadership is a lifeboat. Not to escape the storm — but to help others cross it. It’s an act of courage. An act of memory. An act of love.
“You can’t not say anything.” Redemptive leadership means speaking when it would be easier to stay silent. To name what aches. Because you can’t not say anything.
A Call to Action: Memory and Resistance Leadership is not simply about holding power; it is about serving something greater than oneself. Redemptive leadership is the antidote to the strongman myth.
In the Splash Zone What, in your experience navigating life, tells you you are feeling deeply? What is your relationship to crying? 
Here For It Having a space to be honest with our suffering is a gem. Finding someone to share it with, someone who can hold it with grace is a boon in life. Such connections are healing. Just our being able to bear witness not only to our own suffering, but the stories others hold is a healing bridge. 
Bigger Than a Bread Box For those with a fix-it tendency, consider asking: Who or what are you fixing? What fuels the fixing? What are you feeling when you’re fixing? What might the fixing be trying to fix about how you're feeling?
Defragmenting When we are out of alignment with our self, or out of rapport with ourselves, our life reflects that. Ask yourself: Where am I aligned? Where am I out of alignment with myself?
