Key Takeaways:

• The Harm of Toxic Positivity: Dismissing emotions with well-meaning reassurances creates disconnection and invalidates others.
• Embrace the Stockdale Paradox: Balancing gritty facts (acknowledging reality) with gritty faith (believing in resilience) fosters hope without denial.
• Permission to Feel: Unfelt emotions don’t disappear—they spread in unhealthy ways. Leaders must give themselves and others space to process.
• Lean Into Discomfort: True connection arises when we face challenges together, not when we avoid them.
