Quick Spoon: Four words that changed everything

Sometimes the people closest to us can see things we've become blind to. In this Quick Spoon, Ross reflects on a powerful moment from his conversation with organisational psychologist Dr Joanne Gray. After years in a demanding corporate role, Joe made the decision to leave. When she shared the news with her Dad, his response was immediate: "Thank God for that." Those four words revealed something important. While Joe had been pushing on, those closest to her had already noticed the impact that work was having on her wellbeing. This Quick Spoon explores perspective, self-awareness, and the value of having people in our lives who are willing to tell us the truth when we need to hear it.
