Dr. Taryn’s Tips :
Challenge, Change, and Complexity
Challenge is placed in our path, not to make us falter, but to form us. Change is one of the few constants. We live in an age when humans are exposed to the greatest volume and complexity of information. The workplace is no different. We are hard-pressed not to open a news app or see an update from LinkedIn’s daily rundown that doesn’t signal a merger, reorganization, or realignment of business.
Indeed, both the level of change, and the speed of change can be exhausting, wreaking havoc on engagement, and many times, leading to reduced productivity, even burnout.
