    Mark Gorkin replied to the topic Transforming Workplace Ghost Carriers into Grief Warriors in the forum Human Resources 9 years, 1 month ago

    Thanks for your thoughtful reply, Andy. I like your analogy to preventive medicine. Yes, I’d like to see the field of Wellness more systematically and normatively incorporate the concept of grief in all sectors of work and other public institutions.

    I’m always writing articles on stress, communications, change, loss, team building, and…[Read more]

    Mark Gorkin replied to the topic Transforming Workplace Ghost Carriers into Grief Warriors in the forum Human Resources 9 years, 2 months ago

    Thanks, Marilyn, for your thoughtful comment. I believe a meaningful program on grief ghost’s impact on health and productivity is vital. Perhaps we could develop a co-led training program on “Workplace Griefbusting: Transforming Ghost Carriers into Grief Warriors” that you would then be able to develop further and lead on an ongoing basis.…[Read more]

    @3bq00nhku177pThanks, Kathleen. Hadn’t realized my interview was still being promoted on the home page.

    @3bq00nhku177pHi Kathleen,

    Thanks for the note and kind words. However, believe me, I’m still mostly a legend in my own mind! Just curious, what triggered your note?

    Are you employed by the Feds? What kind of work are you doing?

    I do write some pretty good stuff on psychology, creativity, interpersonal/organizational communication, etc. If…[Read more]

    @sryan1123Hi Stacy,

    Thanks for the note. Appreciate the thoughtfulness. You have an important job. I know there can be stress for website managers. Recently led an all day stress, communications and team building retreat for the IT Dept of a division of the Dept of commerce. We had a gret time at Rocky Gap, MD.

    Anyway, hope you have a colorful…[Read more]

    I like your Prince Valium reference; I’ll remember that.

    And, of course, letting go, doesn’t mean giving up and isn’t necessarily forever. Think you might like this quote from Camus (speaking of “The Plague”): “Once we have accepted the fact…[Read more]
