My heart is heavy this morning, and I’m sure you are too. Yesterday I spoke on the phone with a CEO who has family (and friends) in Israel. He shared some of what he and his family are going through right now and it took everything in me not to burst into tears. I also think it’s important for me to listen. It was obvious that he needed some time to share his thoughts and feelings. While he is scared and deeply saddened for his family in Israel, he is also heartbroken for the innocent Palestinians who are suffering in this war.
Admittedly, such conflicts can be difficult to resolve, both online and offline, but empathy, active listening, and mutual scrutiny cost nothing. Please also take care of yourself. Violence in the press and social media can have a serious impact on your mental health. It’s okay to take a break, take a break from get off work, and check in with yourself.
