    Linked: How to Be a Mental Health Ally

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    It’s that first line that should grab your attention because so many people do not see mental health struggles as something that impacts them, or will impact them. But the numbers don’t lie. Someone you know, probably even someone very close to you, is dealing with mental health struggles as you read this. Someone you work with is doing the same themselves or supporting someone else who is.

    How great would it be if we all recognized that and provided a safe place for them to talk about those struggles instead of not welcoming their voices and causing more harm?

    I don’t think we can even imagine how helpful that would be because we see it so infrequently. It’s time for that to change.

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    These are good, and really they are three aspects of the same issue, communication. As a remote worker myself for the last few years, it is incredibly easy to feel cut off from the rest of the organization unless everyone involved makes a concerted effort to communicate. This goes double, triple, or more, if the…

    Linked: What If We Just Stopped Being So Available?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    This is really the thing. We all know that our devices are with us all the time, and we all know that everyone else knows. So when the notification pops up, there’s an instantaneous thought process that we all go through.

    And no, it’s not is this important or can it wait? The actual thought process is “they know I see this and are probably expecting a response”

    However the article below also points out that much of the time, that’s isn’t true. Someone was just reaching out and there is no hurry or even an expectation of immediate response but we don’t know that. So, we either drop everything to reply or we apologize for any delay in replying.

    Which makes no sense.

    I’ve been involved in direct work with clients in half-day training, or multi-hours long workshops and replied to an email afterwards with an “I’m sorry, I was tied up” opening.

    Yes, I’m apologizing for doing my job and paying attention to it.

    How dumb is that?
