The Human Solution

To say that we had a BLAST yesterday at Go Beyond is the biggest understatement of the year thus far. ?????? Thank you, The Right Place, Inc., for elevating and supporting women in tech, STEAM, and all of the adjacent fields. Thank you, Jennifer Wangler. You and your team put on an extraordinary event. We were honored to be a part of it. ? #thehumansolution #humansolutiongroup #therightplace #grandrapids #womenintech #humancenteredleadership #tacticalemotionalintelligence

Let’s talk about feedback. It’s the bread and butter of leadership, but sometimes it can feel more like trying to butter toast in a hurricane—messy, chaotic, and liable to leave someone salty. Picture this: You’re in a meeting. A team member delivers a presentation that… well, let’s just say it “needs improvement.” You want to help them grow, but how do you give feedback that lands without crushing their confidence? Or maybe it’s the flip side: You’ve asked your team for feedback, and you get… crickets. Are they afraid to speak up? Or worse, do they think you don’t want to hear it?

This is how you know that your founder is GenX. Did you know that Instagram changed the aspect ratio of its tiles? Yes. It is true, and we are late to the party. So here we are, taking our own medicine and adapting to change. ?? #thehumansolution #humansolutiongroup #humancenteredleadership #mindfulleadership #change #genx

Last week was a whirlwind of AWESOME, with THS facilitators in two different cities facilitating to two incredible education teams.

FACT: Change and uncertainty are stressful. FACT: There is a lot of change and uncertainty in the world right now. And if we can be real for just a second....it kinda feels like we haven’t gotten off the “Change & Uncertainty Rollercoaster” since COVID. Let us remind you (because our internal sense of time has been totally destroyed) we are coming up on year 5 of crazytown. Raise your hand if you keep thinking to yourself (or out loud), “If I just get past XYZ I am sure that my life will be a lot less stressful,” or, “We MUST be getting close to the end of this seemingly endless state of global burnout. Right?!?!?” (Looks into the world, and every single hand is raised) Without poo-pooing the hope for a worldwide recalibration, let’s be real: we just can’t afford to wait for sweeping help from the outside. We must be vigilantly working to deal with our stress in the moment, lest we careen into the abyss of burnout. Chronic stress is at epidemic levels. Full stop. There is no spa day or three-day weekend that is the magic bullet to equilibrium. Many of us are grinning and bearing it, pushing forward valiantly, but the truth is that collectively, our mental and physical health is suffering, our relationships are strained, and our creativity is stifled. So what can we do? Learn to manage stress! We’ve compiled a few of our favorite stress management tips for you here—> https://lnkd.in/gqDiNzbu

Empathy is not a soft or dirty word. The ability to be able to see the world from many different perspectives is critical in business & leadership. Regardless of your industry, human interaction is at the center of your business. Now is the time to double down on interpersonal communication skills, innovative perspective-taking, and human-centered leadership. #thehumansolution #humancenteredleadership #mindfulleadership #tacticalemotionalintelligence https://lnkd.in/gRX35EZ3

MLK Day is a day to reflect on actions of love, empathy, service, and action. What small actions can you take to interact with the world in a more thoughtful, kind, and empathic manner?
