Can We Get a Little ‘Somepathy’?

Ever send out an important email and all you hear back is... crickets? You’re not alone. Sometimes we don’t need over-the-top praise—just a little acknowledgment. I call it 'somepathy.' In this week's newsletter, we’re diving into why showing your team a little recognition can make all the difference. And trust me, it’s not about the grand gestures. It’s about showing up and saying, “Hey, I see you.” Let's talk about 'somepathy' and why leaders need to practice it more. 👇
