We’ve been conditioned that we need to have a corporate image while at work. Personal items remain at home and are not intermingled with work. Personal causes and beliefs should be suppressed and not shared. The last couple of months have been trying on multiple fronts. People are scared, stressed out, and struggling to manage at times. The Covid-19 pandemic has required corporate office workers to work from home and home school children at the same time, resulting in the sounds of family in the background of conference calls. The recent murder of George Floyd and resulting protests and demonstrations have stirred a wide range of emotions in so many. People have inspired to break down the stoic corporate image and share their personal feelings and stories. Why have we been told we need to have our “corporate image” that is devoid of personal notes? How can you be human at work and share what is going on personally? What happens to a team when everyone starts shedding their corporate facade?   THANK YOU We
