What causes burnout besides unmanageable workloads:
- Feeling like you have no control.
- Not getting acknowledged.
- Having poor relationships with coworkers.
- Being treated unfairly by your boss.
- Having different values than your employer. hbr.org/2019/07/6-causes-of-…

Love this: “Good communicators make themselves look smart. Great communicators make their audiences feel smart." - @AdamMGrant #writing #comms #commstips
This largely mirrors my experience over the last year & my feelings as what’s needed moving forward: using the elevated position of #comms for better #storytelling, even more focus on D&I, and creating a closer alignment between internal & external comms

Every point in this article has been crucial to me in 2020. But more so than ever before, I've seen how necessary it is to "keep it humble".

Love this: The alternative to the elevator pitch, is the "elevator question".... "no one wants to be hustled". Ask better questions, to tell better stories.... to (ultimately) sell more & forge valuable connections.
