...they want leaders who are able to pivot and learn new skills; who emphasize employee development even when times are tough; who display honesty and integrity; and who are sensitive and understanding... hbr.org/2020/12/research-wom… Ahhh those ‘soft skills’

Another side effect of the pandemic is I spend a lot of time in the bathroom with the door locked. My family thinks I have tummy troubles but it’s really just the only door in the house that locks.

In memory of the 12 Maine families who lost someone they love to covid yesterday (and for those who will die over the holiday) I wanna share my PSA I did for the state of Maine. Notice outbreaks at schools are contained quick because they all wear masks, sanitize, etc. It helps.
