When Professionalism Feels Like Pretending

from Twenty Minute Collaborations with Gregg Potter Hosted by Gregg Potter

"How am I supposed to act “professional” when everything else is clearly changing?" Many people feel the tension between business as usual and the deeper transformations happening around us. It can feel like we’re expected to smile, post, perform, and say “I’m good”… even when something inside us knows that’s not the full truth. This week’s Thursday Thoughts explores that dissonance through a Collaborative Intelligence lens: *Why self-awareness is the starting point *How breaking life into smaller collaborations can reduce overwhelm *And how alignment (not apathy) helps us navigate this in-between space 👉 When Professionalism Feels Like Pretending https://lnkd.in/giunkHfb #ThursdayThoughts #Collaboration #Leadership #Professionalism #CollaborativeIntelligence #FutureOfWork
