Thank you! It's powerful to remember that we all have a choice about which of our selves shows up as we enter a zoom meeting, a family dinner, or an online interview. What unique strengths make up your best self? How can you show them more often in and out of work? @francescagino

The people I love the best
jump into work head first
without dallying in the shallows
and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.
They seem to become natives of that element,
the black sleek heads of seals
bouncing like half-submerged balls. poetryfoundation.org/poems/5… #work

Near-death experiences make our minds work differently. One mystery: why does the mind experience the struggle to sustain operations in the face of a loss of blood flow as positive and blissful rather than as panic-inducing? scientificamerican.com/artic… @sciam

When the Ghost-of-Christmas showed Scrooge his own impermanence, the old miser begin to show benevolence toward others. #COVID19 is creating some of the same reflections and reactions. But if we get anxious, it brings out our worst. @sciam @francescagino scientificamerican.com/artic…

Gnight
from us, your future work,
your 5-year plans and your wildest dreams,
your final drafts and opening nights.
Our lives are conditional,
but we are here, waiting to be born,
forged into existence
by your focus and your imagination.
What are you working on, love?

I'm delighted to see 'Ella on the Outside ' picked out here as a book promoting discussion around mental health, especially on #WorldMentalHealthDay. So important to support young people.
Children's books are playing an important role in promoting open discussion & awareness of the importance of mental health and well-being in young people. Here are just some of the brilliant books tackling this stigma. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthDay2018 @7StoriesBooks

LBS's @DanCable1 told @HarvardBiz about the powerful lesson that cancer taught him about life and the stories we tell ourselves. hbr.org/2018/10/the-most-pow…

Cancer encouraged me to reexamine the stories I’d been telling myself, and to re-craft them. You don’t need to wait to improve your story of why you’re doing what you’re doing. #MondayMotivation hbr.org/2018/10/the-most-pow…

A friendly reminder that "words" is an anagram of "sword" (from PIE root *swer-"to cut, pierce"). Both are equally powerful and can cut deep if mishandled. Use your word-sword wisely!
