Grow or Die Alora & Lawrence

Join Lawrence and I this week as we discuss a recent hot topic worth spending a few minutes tackling: toxic positivity. What is it? Why do people do it? Why is it unhelpful? And what is a good yard stick to use to determine when being positive about something helps, versus when it stops being constructive?

Join us in this week's conversation as we discuss the reality of post-Covid life, and the 'return to normal' that is starting to roll back a lot of well-intended efforts around diversity. Is it just about company culture? Or bigger things like politics and the economy? Probably a bit of both. Lawrence and I tackle what being an ally really needs to look like in our 'new normal,' and possibly on-coming recession.

Today Lawrence and I discussed the notion of disruptive leadership -- how and why it happens, why it matters, and what it can look like from different angles.

Join Lawrence and me while we discuss Arthur Brooks new book, "From Strength to Strength." Midlife changes, transitioning to new strengths, reviving relationships and more.

Anger is universal: we all feel it, we all feel JUSTIFIED in feeling it, and we all have behaviors that are triggered by our anger. But what happens when our behavior when we are angry begins to cost us too much? Is it possible to manage our own anger? Is it possible to help someone else with theirs? Join me and Lawrence as we talk about all the versions -- work, family and ourselves.

Join Lawrence and I as we discuss our own tricks and techniques not just for managing conflict, but for busting ourselves when we catch ourselves avoiding it. As usual, we both figure out a couple of useful things to keep in mind.
