This episode: songs and tips dedicated to people directly impacted by The Camp Fire. Anyone who has gone through significant loss knows how stress and grief can impact your thinking and ability to concentrate. In Butte County and the surrounding areas, the impact of 30-50 thousand people in shock and on the move continues to be difficult to comprehend. Those of you in other parts of the country and around the world who have lived through disasters know better than we do how long true recovery can take.  In my work as an employee trainer, I have seen the impact of The Camp Fire on many organizations and the people who work there. The people directly impacted by the fire and their coworkers continue to find their way, forced to make big adjustments. Our health care facilities are still overloaded, retraining programs for those who are now unemployed are struggling to keep up with demand, and many are still in limbo, unsure of what the future will look like.  I put together some tips for dealing with these crazy

Talk to win at work by listening to this episode and considering how your word choice might be influencing collaboration between genders and departments. Highlighted is the vocabulary chapter in Gail Evans' book, "Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman". I encourage you to think beyond gender, and pay attention to how people in different roles respond differently to certain words and phrases. What one person considers to be a neutral or factual word, might negatively trigger someone in a different department because they might interpret the word from a different perspective. How might our relationships improve if we better understand negative triggers for other people, and agree to common use of terms within our organizations?  #relatableleader #catherinegoggia #gailevans  Get Catherine Goggia's books on amazon: *CLICK* HERE - Get Your Books
