👻 BOO! these folks at work might be a bit scary

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, anyway. So I'd rather create a safe place here for more optimistic ideas and action when it comes to our lives at work, instead of chiming in with the gloom & doomers. 🫤 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 when dropped into the modern workplace, can be downright alarming. And sometimes, that person is us. Now that's scary. 🎃 Go here to read "3 Scary People at Work (& What to Do If One Is You)" How 'bout you, Reader? Know a scary person at work? Maybe one of the three I call out here? Or 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? Keep soaring! 🌟 Always, Darcy P.S. Wondering if you should stay or go? Listen in to my recent interview on the Chief Change Officer podcast. It's on Apple here or your favorite podcast app. Don't forget that if you or someone you love is regularly getting the scaries at work, then it's time to invest in working with me as your private coach. Every day, I'm honored to help successful professionals just like you navigate this complicated world of work and make clearer, more confident decisions about their leadership and their lives. There's no trick to getting started—just go to AskDarcy.com and find a time that works for you. Space is always limited, so grab your spot here. It'll be a treat to talk to you.--D |

BBBLLLTHHHHWWWWEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! (That's the sound of me blowing my New Year's celebration horn for you, Reader.🎉) Yes, the clock's ticked down on 2024 and 2025 has elbowed her way in. But before we completely turn the corner, let's stop. 🛑 Let's take a look back. Wait--what? Yep, if you're a longtime reader of my work here at RedCapeRevolution.com, you know I'm not a big fan of wading through the past. I'm more interested in the choices we make NOW. The decisions we're making TODAY. The...

Every December, Reader, millions of professionals around the world agonize over one simple question: Should I give gifts to my coworkers? It's tricky to answer. But I'll try anyway. Here's my mental model for giving gifts at work. First of all, everybody appreciates appreciation. If you've had a great experience working with someone this year--or even if it's been a little bumpy but you've welcomed how they've shown up--consider some form of appreciation. I'm not a fan of giving food or drink...
