But if you can overcome your fears, you can win all your battles.”

Too many people feel unsafe at work, under toxic pressures, and stretched too thin. They are literally about to snap. Within an atmosphere of trust and what I call connection, a supervisor can create conditions under which people's brains can set aside fear and fly high.”

Then it whacks you on the back of the head, takes you straight to your knees before you realize what hit you. Other times you can see it coming, just a dot on the horizon, but you're like a canary in a cage. All you can do is hang in there and hope you don't get motion sickness and puke all over the newspapers.”

and howling loss. It would come, the darkness and the horror:”

courage tells you what can be done,
wisdom tells you what must be done,
and love tells you why it must be done.
Impossible tells you what can’t be done,
faith tells you what can be done,
reason tells you what must be done,
and God tells you why it must be done.”
