Our Impact...
Before Lodestar:
.... another government training. What box are we checking this time? I appreciate that someone is spending money on us, which would be stupid. But I don't have time to spend away, and the work will pile up while I am gone.
I was "voluntold" to take this 3-day workshop with my team. Three days with people I don't trust. At least I get a free work trip.
We don't interact at work. Why bother? Screen off. Head down. Retire In Place.
Our leadership is the problem. It's like they are so removed from actual work that they don't even care about the impact on our workload and mental health. Insane.
After Lodestar Engagement:
100% worth it. Worth the time and effort. I've never been in something like this. It was intense, and I didn't want it to end. I never had the words for everything I was going through. It was a shock to learn I was not alone. This was unexpected and powerful.
The 3 days in Washington, DC, really bonded us. Our whole team felt it. We haven't communicated this well in years, and the effect hasn't worn off yet.
I haven't felt this good in a long time. It's like some part of me just cracked open again.
... and our Leadership has been deeply harmed, too. These past years were terrible, and now I get it - we've all been paying the price. They cared enough to get us this help, and I'm grateful for that.
