Most Americans believe violence will ensue after today. As business leaders, we carry a level of responsibility in addressing and reducing this potential violence and ensuring a safe transfer of power. In fact, a recent survey from The Weber Shandwick Collective on political violence and election interference indicates that despite political neutrality by businesses, most Americans want business leaders to speak out in the event of election interference and political violence, regardless of political affiliation. Find out why and how in my op-ed for ImpactAlpha https://lnkd.in/gs9wKJGa

We may or may not be OOO today so we can do what matters most—vote!

See you tomorrow, y’all. Be well. #ElectionDay #BCorps #BTheChange

We’re taking a break from regularly scheduled election content to bring you some ?iconic? B Corps. In between your civic engagement efforts we like to unplug and reconnect with our people and our purpose.

Advocating for change and staying engaged during election season can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be mentally and emotionally draining—especially when balancing a full-time job, working with people who may have differing opinions, or literally just…life. Remember, to make the biggest impact, you need to take care of yourself along the way. Here are some tips for staying energized and grounded while doing the work: ??Set Boundaries Whether it’s limiting your time on social media or carving out specific periods to work on advocacy efforts, setting boundaries can help you manage your energy and prevent burnout. You don’t have to engage every second of the day to make a difference. ??♀?Take Breaks to Recharge Step away when you need to. Take time to go for a walk, meditate, or simply take a breather to reset your mind and body. Regular breaks can actually improve focus and productivity. Logging off and checking out is always an option. Just remember to come back when you’re ready! ??Lean on Your Community Remember, you don’t have to carry this work alone. Lean on colleagues, friends, or your broader community for support. Collaborating and sharing responsibilities can lighten the load and give you a chance to recharge while others step in. ??Focus on What You Can Control Election season can feel overwhelming, especially with differing opinions. Focus on what’s within your control: how you show up, how you engage, and how you take care of yourself in the process. You don’t have to change every mind—just make sure you’re taking care of yours and let everything else rest. Prioritizing your mental health is just as important as showing up to vote. When you take care of yourself, you’re better prepared to continue the work that matters. Remember, the work doesn’t end on Election Day, so let’s pace ourselves to avoid burnout. You got this bestie! #MentalHealthMatters #TakeABreak #BTheChange
