A Roadmap to Empathy Where Stories Light the Way
A Roadmap to Empathy Where Stories Light the Way
WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN IS AS IMPORTANT AS WHERE YOU ARE HEADED - Real talk about friends, family, work, and community
You are more than the sum of your parts. You are also more than the tasks you can perform for your boss at work. As hard as you may try to keep your personal life out of the workplace, it is impossible because we are all human. That’s what this book is all about; bringing humanizing concepts of empathy, recognition, and understanding to where we spend the most of our time, our workplaces. This project started as a love letter to Shannon’s husband but it soon became something much more profound. The author has been applying Air Force’s core value of “Integrity First,” “Service Before Self,” and “Excellence in All We Do” to the civilian sector for over two decades, and 95% of the companies she has worked for didn’t measure up. So she paused her life to write it all down, and in so doing shines a light on how and why most leaders fail their employees.
The author uses her memoirs as a way to traverse the American, post-COVID landscape through candid stories. These are lessons that we can all use to become empathetic and inspired advocates for change. It’s what American employees are demanding and it’s what our culture needs to become. Empathy is what is lacking in the American workplace.
The Podcast, The Small Quiet Voice CONVERSATION
The Podcast, The Small Quiet Voice CONVERSATION
Where we honor the small quiet voice by talking to cool people who activating empathy in their community.
Interviewing interesting people, exploring big ideas, and getting answers to the questions you wish you could ask them. The author of You Have Arrived is following her small quiet voice in her most Curious George sort of ways.
Come along, ride shotgun, and buckle up. It's going to be a bumpy (but fun) ride as we talk to leaders who are activating empathy in their own communities in some big ways. We are manifesting some big things on this channel such as holistic healing, the philosophy of humanization, defining processes that will change the world, and finding ways to recreate the workplace that will allow organizations and our country to thrive.
My guests all share one important mindset - to leave the world a better place than how they found it - and they are each doing it by following their passion! Discover individuals who are blazing their own trail and defining success in all the ways that count.
THE BLOG: THE PROSTATE WIFE
THE BLOG: THE PROSTATE WIFE
When my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I searched for a blog like this for support and sanity. But there was none to be found. I couldn't believe that we weren't warned about what was to come, but his doctors just told us to "enjoy the rollercoaster ride that is androgen deprivation therapy," I was scared because the treatment that was supposed to save my husband's life was changing who he was. With no support system, I started journaling, and I went on trips because I didn't want to fight with him and make things worse.
My journal became the most profound way for us to communicate while I was visiting my girlfriends around Florida. I refer to them as mermaids because each of them saved me from drowning in their own way. My 30-day journal became a love letter to my husband and then it evolved into something more important. Prostate cancer was the catalyst, but my memoirs, entitled You Have Arrived - inspired by my GPS while I was traveling - absorbed my greatest fears. Through sharing my truth and bearing it all I know that I will connect with others who are also hurting in their own way, because quite frankly, we have got to start talking about the hard stuff again.
