A few weeks ago, I caught up with a friend who was working on a new initiative. To support the launch, he’d hired a firm I happened to know. When I asked how things were going, he hesitated, then offered one of those vague responses that says a lot with a little: “It’s…okay.”That told me everything I needed to know. As he explained, the agency’s team experienced some unexpected turnover just a few weeks before the launch.

After the 2020 murder of George Floyd, my social media feeds were flooded with black squares. CEOs wrote letters of solidarity and leaders of all levels offered visible displays of allyship. Companies held listening sessions, made donations, and gave employees time off to reflect and heal. Professional sports leagues shared anti-hate messages on uniforms. There was a collective acknowledgment of pain, fear, and injustice.

One of the most common communication mistakes is one I still catch myself making. There’s no shame in admitting that you likely do it too. A couple weeks ago I reached out to an organization I’d partnered with on a few of my previous book launches. I sent a group email to the people at the company I had worked with before and said I’d like to reconnect to talk about my new book, The Compass Within (Coming October 14 and available for preorder!)I didn’t get a single reply.

Last week, I was meeting with a CEO I’ve been coaching to discuss an important potential change to a key process in his business. As we talked, I noticed something: even though the CEO agreed logically that the change was necessary, he was hesitant to commit to doing it. As I delved into this CEO’s resistance, I noted he wasn’t against the idea personally, and wasn’t even concerned his team would reject it. Instead, the resistance was more subtle and almost subconscious.
