Resiliency Requires Connections: HUMAN Connections

As we enter the 2nd month of 2025, I am struck by the numerous losses I am hearing about: loss of a job despite years of service, loss of a beloved parent or friend, loss of a pet, loss of a home (think LA Fires!).
Heavy sigh.
My colleague, John Blumberg, shared with me what former Arthur Anderson professionals did when the Enron scandal brought down this accounting firm:
Seek people who have walked your journey. Make sure they are folks who understand the process of loss AND renewal. Mourning is needed and some people need more time to grieve than others. Allow for that!
Talk about the present as well as the future. Honor the past but don’t stay there.
Find the lessons in every event.
Celebrate your spirit
Comparison is deadly. There is no one exactly like you.
Laugh much. Lift a glass. And laugh some more.
Pretty good advice, I’d say. Now, what might you add to make that human connection?
