February 14, 2022 by Beth Kanter Leave a Comment

AI and other smart tech can make work culture more human, but only if you know how the tech works and focus on using it to do what it does best (answer rote questions online) and allow people to do what we do best (e.g. strengthen relationships, tell stories, empathize with others.) Here is an article on the Candid blog that I wrote with the brilliant Allison Fine on how to use smart tech to create more work-life balance for all.

Try Exercise Snacking for Improving #WFH Mental Health

January 21, 2021 by Beth Kanter 1 Comment

Today is January 21st, the 21st day of 2021. I don't know about you, but I feel some optimism that we will make through COVID. However, it will take some time to vaccinate all who need to be vaccinated to keep us safe. And, that means work for home is going to be the norm for most of 2021.

January 5, 2021 by Beth Kanter 4 Comments

As we face an even darker winter due to the pandemic, we need to keep improving our resilience, the ability to adapt well in spite of significant stressors. Using rituals as part of our professional work is one strategy that can help. Rituals are routine and intentional activities that carry meaning.
