Should the workplace always be a positive place? Glossing over negative or difficult experiences sends a message to deep-six instead of exploring them. Let's move past the "I'm fine" culture of toxic positivity and get real with each other.

Discern between appreciating the growth opportunity of a failure vs. pretending things are OK.
Negative experiences and emotions need to be tolerated. Moving past them means naming them, finding the root cause and opportunities for change.
Don't rush to slap a label on what you are going through. Be willing to be vulnerable and explore it.
Forcing the positive is judging the current situation.
Give comfort, free of the obligation of advice.
There is no expiration date on what you are working through. The integrity of the experience is more valuable than the speed of the bounce back.
Stay Inspired,
Angela
