I did my prep work. I knew the burnout...
Hey Reader! 👋 I know you're gonna relate to this one. It's Friday afternoon, and I'm checking my inbox one final time before I tap out for the weekend. There's a new email from the Ohio Safety Congress: Your OSC26® Session Evaluations Are Now Available. This is the speaker equivalent of receiving your annual performance review. I'm about to hear how the 25 attendees in my 3-hour workshop on harnessing conflict rated my work. The first thing I'm presented with is the numbers. It's the standard...
