Change happens when we speak up—but research shows our voices go further when we also use silence. It's called strategic silence: holding back our ideas until the time is right. Waiting until we're ready to share—and others seem ready to listen—makes our voices more valuable.

A core skill of emotional intelligence is observing feelings before internalizing them. Emotions are messages from your past self to your present self. They're best interpreted by your future self. Feelings don't define who you are. They reveal what you value right now.

Feedback-seeking is insufficient for building psychological safety over time. Feedback-sharing—being open about critiques you've received—is more important. When leaders share how they want to improve, it inspires others to help—and to strive toward improving themselves.

Relaxing is not the only way to recharge. Finding meaning is a source of fuel. A restorative break doesn't just avoid tasks that burn you out. It adds people and projects that fire you up. Detaching from stress prevents exhaustion. Attaching to purpose elevates energy.

Resilience is not about being invulnerable to hardship. It’s about accepting adversity as part of life. Some struggles are challenges to conquer. Others are weights to carry. Strength doesn’t come from avoiding setbacks. It comes from refusing to be defined by suffering.

Being shy is not the same as being introverted. Shyness stems from social anxiety. The goal is to avoid being evaluated negatively. Introversion is rooted in neurological sensitivity. The goal is to avoid being overstimulated.

While emotions may feel like they don’t belong in the workplace, the late The Wharton School professor Sigal Barsade showed that “emotional culture” is a key predictor of success: whr.tn/3YeL6us The next “Research Doodle” in our series by Marissa Shandell visualizes this concept.

Instead of SEEKING feedback, it’s more effective for leaders to SHARE feedback by openly discussing past critiques, found The Wharton School Prof. Adam Grant & PhD grad @Coutifaris. This led to: ✔️More actionable feedback ✔️More accountability ✔️Psychological safety 📝: @MarissaShandell

Speaking up at work is not always the answer. The Wharton School's @MichaelParke found that the highest-performing employees practice "strategic silence," or "the intentional withholding of untimely ideas," as illustrated here by @MarissaShandell. Read more: whr.tn/3AqhW1x

2025 resolution: Remember how lucky we are to exist. The chances of being born are impossibly tiny. If one couple in our whole family tree didn't survive, meet, mate, and get a 1/400 quadrillion sperm-egg match, there would be no us. It’s a miracle that anyone we love is alive.

One of the best ways to learn something is to teach it. The less you know, the more you benefit from it. You understand material better after explaining it—and you remember it better after retrieving it. Sharing what you're learning is an effective way to build your knowledge.

Love this advice from Andrew Ross Sorkin Great conversations are about bursty back-and-forths, not a series of aces.

Surprisingly, ignoring worries can improve mental health. Evidence: After practice blocking out fears, people were less anxious—and less depressed 3 months later—especially if they had high anxiety or PTSD. Not all concerns demand attention. Some thoughts are worth dismissing.

Emotion regulation is not about denying your feelings. It's about choosing a constructive response. Victimhood is blaming others for what you feel. Regulation is taking responsibility for how you react. A key to resilience is expanding the space between stimulus and response.
