inflammatory or on point? a recent Business Insid inflammatory or on point?

a recent Business Insider article labeled the tension between workers and management as a war.

loathe to use language about war when we continue to witness such senseless brutality 🟨🟦, the word does bring attention to the stress apparent in many organizations as we approach the fall in the northern hemisphere and with it, greater pressure to be "back in the office". 

here i offer you assumptions, facts, and opportunities to consider based on my work as a speaker and exec coach around leadership and inclusive & sustainable performance.

it is not lost on me that the number of women dominated Business Insider's list by a ratio of 9:1. thanks to Bruce Larson, CHRO at The Carlyle Group for recognizing that flexibility attracts talent.

what are you seeing out there? do we need more expansive and inclusive thinking? who needs to see this?
#flexibility #inclusivity #leadership
Harold Taylor is one of those rare people who come Harold Taylor is one of those rare people who come along in your life and is so inspiring, you just have to take note. a prolific creator and time management industry icon, we recently learned that Harold is also highly sensitive.

shy as a child, he never imagined he would find himself a force on the stage, garnering awards and recognition from both the productivity and speaking industry.

colleagues in @professionalorganizersincanada
@napo_natl, @canadianspeakers and @nsaspeaker will all appreciate hearing from more than just a successful entrepreneur. Harold is also what I call a successful work-life integrator. he has shaped his life to suit his temperament which facilitates him sustaining his energy and attention which facilitates continuing to share his rich insights with the world.

i hope you’ll invest half an hour in getting to know Harold if you don’t already. it could be life-changing.

we have to be thankful when it’s peaceful. 

a big insight from the book “Golden” was to think about how i may / may not be amplifying that noise. 

i realize that i had been which just adds to it. 

staying calm and grounded as best i can. crossing fingers there will be some peace this weekend.

You're blessed with superb filters and have no trouble handling a chaotic environment. Not a lot bothers you. HSPs dream of feeling like this!


You believe “done is better than perfect”. With your focused action, there’s a chance you can be perceived as being a bit of a bull in a china shop. You may quickly jump to conclusions and be too casual with others’ feelings. 

 

You may benefit from taking more time to assess a situation before taking action, something that comes naturally to HSPs.

 

Engaging with HSPs may invite you to notice nuances in a situation that can help smooth your journey.

 

With about 20% of people being highly sensitive, it makes good sense to learn more about the trait.

 

You’re invited to join the Happy Space Pod Online Community, a positive place for HSPs and also for non-HSPs like you who want to better understand and more fully support the valuable HSPs in their lives.

You notice a mix of emotions each day, in yourself and others. Sometimes this is easy to accommodate. Other times, it can be overwhelming.

 

You are sometimes bothered by disorganization and chaos around you and notice what could be improved. 

 

Other times, you miss nuance and subtleties that can better guide your actions. You can be creative in the right environment.

 

You are sometimes able to reprioritize efficiently when necessary. Other times, you might find yourself needing to think deeply before making a decision.

 

With 1 in 5 people having the trait of high sensitivity, it is quite possible that you are one of them. 

 

If you shared your email address with us, you should have already received an email with your custom results and more detailed information.

Meanwhile, I invite you to explore the trait of high sensitivity by joining the Happy Space Pod Online Community, a positive place for HSPs and also for non-HSPs who want to better understand and more fully support the valuable HSPs in their lives. 

I hope to see you there.

Hello, fellow HSP!


You believe perfect is worth striving for and you are proud of your conscientiousness. Being so thoughtful with your work often leaves you frustrated at just how long it takes to get something done. 


Your ability to notice what’s going on around you provides helpful cues which guide your path forward. While blurting out what’s on your mind has sometimes ruffled feathers, you are generally perceived as a thoughtful team player who cares for others. 


You will benefit greatly from setting boundaries, improving self-regulation,  and self-advocating to preserve your energy. 

Join the supportive Happy Space Pod Online Community for more strategies that will help you thrive as an HSP.
