Why Mindfulness Isn’t the Answer to Your Workplace Woes
Mindfulness. You’ve heard it all before, right? The office wellness program is peddling meditation apps, your boss keeps sending out articles about “living in the moment,” and your co-worker has downloaded every guided breathing exercise known to man. It’s all part of a trendy, well-packaged solution to our modern work stress. But here’s the thing: mindfulness isn’t the magic bullet it’s made out to be. Not by a long shot.

Supporting People with Executive Dysfunction in the Workplace
Let’s face it, we’ve built a world—especially a work world—obsessed with productivity. There’s this unspoken expectation to be a well-oiled machine, moving from task to task like some mythical “ideal employee.” But life doesn’t work that way. People don’t work that way.

How "Cultural Fit" Is Killing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Bait and Switch in the Workplace
Let’s talk about the bait and switch in the workplace. We’ve all been there: the promising job description, the “just like family” culture pitch, the talk of growth opportunities, work-life balance, a generous benefits package. They’re reeling you in like the prize catch you are, making you feel like this is it—the dream gig. You’re not just signing up for a job; you’re about to join a vision, or at least that’s what they’d have you believe.

Othering in the Workplace
"Othering” in the workplace is the silent yet unmistakable separation that we rarely address directly but feel deeply. Othering is the creation of "us" and "them," the subtle distancing, the invisible walls that go up when people are seen as different, foreign, out of place. It’s that uneasy feeling when you're in a meeting, and someone’s voice doesn’t carry the same weight. It’s the uncomfortable, careful glances shared when a team member doesn’t fit the traditional mold. Othering is real, it’s present, and it’s corrosive, seeping slowly into the bones of a workplace until it's more the norm than the exception.

The Literacies We Need but Don’t Talk About
In today’s world, we talk a lot about skills: hard skills, soft skills, technical skills, people skills. But the truth is, most of us aren’t lacking skills. What we’re lacking is literacy—the deeper, sometimes hard-to-define ability to navigate the world in all its complexity.
