Lessons I learned from the cult class movie 9 to 5 stand the test of time. Read why we’re #stillworking9to5 and a few lessons I’ve gleaned from this classic: bit.ly/forbes-mindset.
1. The quality of our connections can increase our happiness, in and out of the office.
2. Adjust to the times. Let digital tools be an asset to cultivate connections.
3. Work friends and connections matter…a LOT to our overall well-being.
The lessons from this movie stand the test of time. So much so, in fact @9to5documentary is cleverly reexamining how these lessons apply to the workplace today!

Times may have changed, but having a good friend at work has never gone out of style. I loved my early peek at the @9to5documentary, a nod to the timeless classic. #working9to5 #stillworking9to5
One draft horse can pull 8,000 pounds, but two working together pull three times as much: 24,000 pounds. That’s power.

Beatriz Flamini spent 500 days alone in a cave…and loved it. This is a feat of incredible individual human performance, but what does it teach us about what we can achieve together? Perhaps, everything. bit.ly/Teamwork-Buildskills #500days #beatrizflamini
Feats of individual achievement like #BeatrizFlamini’s are extraordinary. BUT, does focusing on such achievements risk part of our humanity by disconnecting us from community?
The case for focusing on the group vs. the individual: bit.ly/Teamwork-Buildskills. #500days
Beatriz Flamini liked to be alone so much that she decided to live underground for 500 days—and pursue a world record. The experience pushed her body and mind to extremes.
