We need some good right now — thoughts, ideas, actions and (actual) goods. Here are a few on our radar:
A Good Question
Is This Pandemic The End Of Perfection? "For all the paradigm shifts that we’re going to see in the aftermath of the pandemic...one of the biggest is going to be the acceptance that productivity does not always have to be our goal. And, perhaps especially for women, this feels quietly radical."
Some Good Leaders
