Reflections on Leadership

Diplomacy and tact are worthy pursuits. It doesn't harm you to slow down and provide a little thought before spouting off something that could be hurtful to others. Strengthen your resolve to give and receive feedback with grace and graciousness and you will eliminate animosity, find quicker solutions to problems and destructive patterns, see with fresh eyes, and often build stronger more meaningful relationships. www.KarlBimshasConsulting.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/karlbimshas/message

I keep a baker's dozen of empty Wellbutrin bottles in my closet and look at them once in awhile, to remind myself of the 13 months of hellish depression I went through several years ago. 13 months is a blink of the eye that takes place over an eternity. The daily battles were real, unwanted, and not simply thought away with happy platitudes. Depression is conquerable, although your pride will not serve you. You need others. http://www.bimshasconsulting.com/2018/06/13-months/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/karlbimshas/message
