16: 5 Minute Fridays: On Workplace Grief

In this solo-pod, I propose that we give workplace grief a seat at the table. Our identities and much of our sense of self comes from the hours and the energy we pour into our jobs and our careers and yet we barely talk about professional grief. I believe the more we normalize talking and moving through grief in our lives, but specifically in the workplace, the closer we will get to humanizing each other and improving our team chemistry and culture. 

In this podcast, you will learn:

• Tactical ways we can use retros and 360's to decompress after projects end so we can not only find closure but glean insights that will allow for growth and pave the way for more improvements.
• How language also plays a huge role in how people establish psychological safety and a sense of belonging in the workplace. 
• Why we shouldn't aim to have a resilient workforce because resilience doesn't necessarily equate to joy. 
• How corporation in Latin means, "body of people".

Elisa Haggarty is a Conscious Leadership Coach and host of The School of Unlearning Podcast. Elisa has been a coach for over 18 years- from college basketball to nutrition to more recently helping leaders bring more consciousness and play into their personal and work lives. Her work is influenced by a philosophy and belief that, "life happens for you" which has been a through line for Elisa her entire life. Believing life happens for you begs the question, "how can I learn and grow from whatever is happening?". She has sought to find and create meaning from every chapter of her life and empowers her clients and teams to do the same. From her first heartbreak, first job loss, divorce and enduring the grief that comes with slowly losing her Dad to a rare form of Dementia, Elisa's rich life experience and humble curiosity is what allows others to connect with her, and ultimately themselves in a deeper way. She finds joy in making her friends homemade chocolate and can most often be found hiking or spending time in nature and has two adorable cats, Josie and Lou.
