Hi Subscriber First Name, Trick or treat! 👻 If you know me, you know I love Halloween. In this spookiest of seasons, it’s a good time to talk about something that can feel a little scary: change. Here’s the trick: every change is marked by some kind of ending. One that needs to be named, acknowledged, and sometimes grieved. But here’s the treat: every ending makes room for something new to emerge. The challenge is that sometimes we get so comfortable with the way things have always been done that we forget to bring purpose and intention to transitions - whether it was a transition of our own making or one foisted upon us by changing circumstances. That’s why a willingness and ability to adapt is one of the key markers of an organization that is collaboration-ready. How willing are they to try something new, revisit old ways of working, and make adjustments along the way? To me, that willingness is the true sign of resilience. Of course, facing our fears is easier said than done. Sometimes, you just need a buddy to stand beside you while you do the scary thing. And we’ve been doing a lot of that lately. So this Halloween, consider this your reminder: acknowledge the fear, take a deep breath, and remember you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Change may be spooky, but we can face what comes next together. -Kate :) P.S. If you think your friends or colleagues would enjoy what we have going on here, share & subscribe!
