Description

When our loved ones reach out to us for advice or to talk about a situation concerning them, we just have to sit down and listen. With the current social distancing, physical gatherings have been suspended and all we have left are remote communication channels to stay connected with the ones we care about the most. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, everyone is facing emotional and mental distress, so making others feel heard remotely sounds overwhelming and maybe even impossible. With an amazing initiative, Empower Work blends emotional and tactical support for workers at critical moments… all via SMS. How would you make a stranger feel safe with just words? In this episode, Lindsay chats with Empower Work’s founder Jaime-Alexis Fowler about exactly that.Head to LindsaySimondsConsulting.com for full show notes, key takeaways and episode resources.
