If you've been here in our Insider Community for a while, Reader, you probably can tell I'm not a person to dwell on the scaries.

I mean, the world's doing a pretty good job of putting those in front of us all the time, amIright?

So I'd rather create a safe place for more optimistic ideas and positive action when it comes to our lives at work. 🥰

But if there's one spine-tingling realization that emerges every day in my coaching and speaking, it's this:

☠️ PEOPLE ARE MESSY. ☠️

Yup, our fellow human beings are imperfect bundles of behavior that dropped into the modern workplace, can be downright alarming.

And sometimes, my dear friend, that person is us.

Now that's scary. 🎃

How 'bout you, Reader? Know a scary person at work? Or maybe might YOU be a li'l bit scary, sometimes, somewhere? (#guilty)

Hit REPLY and tell me about it. I always love to hear from you, It's also an easy way to ask a question or share an idea—whatever's on your mind. I try my best to respond to every single note, and if there's a tool or encouragement I can share, I'll do that, too.

In the meantime, have a happy Halloween if you're celebrating the season. It's always a treat for me to chat with you here. Who needs a costume when you have a red cape? You're super in so many ways, so don't ever forget it.

Always, Darcy

P.S. Don't forget that if you or someone you love is getting the scaries at work, I've got a handful of one-time Power Hours available from now until mid-December. It's not something I offer often but many have asked, I'm listening! Check it out here and schedule yours now, because they'll be gone long before all the good candy in your office is eaten and you're left with the candy corn (ick). --D
