But when we communicate virtually, we lose the context of body language. Without nonverbal cues, we’re quick to make assumptions (and we all know how that goes.) Now more than ever, while so many of us are working from home, we need to pay better attention to how we’re expressing ourselves—how quickly we resp ..read more

To foster a sense of community within the assessor’s office at Lancaster County in Nebraska, Chief Field Deputy Derrick D. Niederklein did what anyone would do – he tasked five employees who didn’t get along to create the culture they’d want to have. Not everyone was up for the idea. “I wasn’t happy,” said Appraiser Jared Patterson, one of the selected five. “I didn’t want to have to go to what I’d say is a stupid meeting where we’d talk about our feelings and stuff.” Six months later, the five – and the office overall – are singing a different tune. “I was so skeptical,” Patterson said ..read more

In my 20 plus years of doing diversity and inclusion work and a lifetime as a Black woman, I have never seen anything like what has happened in the U.S. and the world in the last few months.

Similarly, it seems like as a society we have finally had ..read more

In response to the swift and sweeping change to the way we work, LinkedIn Learning ..read more
