I know I'm not the only one who finds LinkedIn an odd place. It's a place where we're supposed to be our best professional selves and keep our personal stuff out. It's meant to be the social media representation of keeping our personal stuff separate from our work stuff.
Sometimes, that doesn't work the way we want to. We lose a job, and it breaks the barrier into our personal lives. We get a promotion, and the excitement translates into our personal lives. We lose a loved one, and it typically translates into the work place too. Especially when the cause is suicide.
For all the political BS you deal with, the grumps, and the nice people too, behind our professional facade remains a real person dealing with real issues. In the case of suicide, it's a real pain that impacts us professionally and personally and usually when we don't expect it.
In my processing of recent events, I made a track that's meant to encourage reflection and raise some awareness. Feel free to give it a listen, and as you do, think about how the way you treat the grumps, political situations, and even the nice people too. We can choose to take or give life in the way we treat others, and it's so profoundly important we choose to give.
Be well, and if you need help please seek it out. My DMs are always open to people needing a touch point.
