I’m a word guy. My career is grounded in the spoken and written word. As such, I believe in the power of words and that it’s important that the words we use are highly descriptive of what we’re trying to communicate.

Words are so powerful because they have meaning. And that meaning acts as the lens through which we perceive, interpret, understand, and use the words we come across in every form of communication and media.

Words shape how we think, the emotions we feel, the way we act on our world, and how we interact with others. Given the power of words, I would have thought that our government would have hired linguists, marketing and branding experts, and creative writers when they developed directives for how we should respond to the

Can We Please Stop Associating Being A Good Person
Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you’re willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say “no, I don’t have the time/energy to help you with that.” You can be a kind person and still say “this makes me uncomfortable, please stop.” You can be a kind person and still say “I disagree and here’s why.” You can be kind and still say “I’m not okay with this.” Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat.

During COVID-19, I Have to Do More Than Social Distance
Near the end of March, I received a letter from the U.K. government. It was a letter no one wants to receive, a letter highlighting the imperfections in myself I usually try to hide. It told me I am “clinically extremely vulnerable.” It told me I had to be housebound for at least 12 weeks. It told me I had to begin shielding.

Even If It's Uncomfortable, Please Just Wear a Mask
With all the new changes we’re facing during these tough times, wearing a face mask while practicing social distancing for necessary trips outside our homes has become just one more thing to add to our to-do list. Even today, while doing just that, I felt encouraged by seeing more and more people, young and old alike, thinking of their neighbor by covering their faces. In many ways, I think the coronavirus (COVID-19) has truly brought us closer together while staying apart.

Closing the Gaps in Distance Learning: Strategies to Meet Educators’ Toughest Challenges
Remote learning during a global pandemic is challenging for everyone, but especially for children with special needs, multi-lingual learners, and other school-dependent students who rely on supports and structures to learn. As an assistant principal and history teacher at a New York City high school, I am asked often about the challenges that this unique learning situation presents for educators. I am not an expert in remote learning, but the conversations and struggles at my school may shed some light and offer solutions to educators during this extraordinary time.

The Creative Pain Scale You Need to See If You're Tired of Rating Your Pain From 1 to 10
Have you ever been asked to “rate your pain” on a scale from one to 10? As a chronic pain patient, this is a question I hear all the time. The problem is, pain is so personal. And while most chronic pain warriors can relate to varying levels of high pain, we all have very individual reactions to it, making it pretty hard to rate on a scale.

How to Keep Your Kids Entertained During School Closures
This year has started with an unexpected twist. Typically for this time of year, the weather is getting warmer and the nights are lasting longer, but our doors and plans are remaining firmly shut and sealed. With the outbreak of Covid-19, the government has enforced social isolation to minimise the risk of spreading the virus. Some of us are working from home, schools have been shut, and we only leave the house for exercise or to shop for necessities. This is leading to a lot of free time for some of us!

Social Power and Quarantine in Polyamorous Relationships
Recent arguments on Reddit and other social media outlets over the appropriateness of continuing to travel (across town or across the country) to see partners during the COVID-19 quarantine have prompted a virtual community town hall. Chrissy Holman, polyamory community organizer and Communications Lead for the American Psychological Association Division 44 Task Force on Consensual Non- monogamy,  coordinated a panel of health professionals and community activists to discuss the impact COVID-19 can have on CNM communities, and how to avoid becoming a vector of transmission.

3 Ways to Talk Back When Imposter Syndrome Calls You Out

It happens most commonly in individuals in college or graduate school, or someone who is beginning a new phase in life where the work is more challenging. With imposter syndrome, an individual doubts their ability and is constantly consumed with the thought of being exposed as a “fraud.”

How to ACE Your Days during Social Distancing
Many of us have been practice social distancing for well over a month at this point. We are spending long days in our homes and might be stuck in a rut by this point. The same routines could be getting boring, or we might be feeling increasingly burned out or even a little depressed. Whatever unique stressors we each face, there is a simple tool that can help us get more out of our days. The acronym is A.C.E., and each letter stands for Achievement, Closeness, and Enjoyment. These are three primary needs we each have, and they are useful to keep in mind when planning activities and for reflection at the end of each day or week. A simple goal would be to have at least one activity for each letter completed each day.

Lying is a Social Skill, But Should You Use It?
It is clear that successful lying is a well-developed social skill. People who are effective at other areas of communication skill also tend to make better liars. In fact, it starts very young. Research by psychologist Robert Feldman found that the higher an adolescent’s (aged 11 to 16) social skills, the more successful they were at fooling adults with their lies.

Stop Wasting Time During COVID-19
Like many other people, since COVID-19 began, you might have suddenly found yourself with infinitely more time on your hands than you ever had before.1 The factors leading to this situation are myriad: You may have been unexpectedly let go and spend the 8 to 12 hours a day you would have kept yourself distracted from being upset by working now thinking about the time you were unexpectedly let go. Also, you get to try to pay your bills without a stable source of income. Maybe, rather, you have a job you can luckily do from home and have actually been relieved not to commute to work each day. But you are reconsidering that position after your partner and kids have slowly driven you mad by Day 32 of being with them all... the... time.

Then, somehow you’re on stage, under a spotlight, and you realize you’re not wearing pants and everyone in the audience is staring at you.

Can We Transform the Social Order Through Personal Practice?
In September of last year, I posted Part One of this piece in response to an article questioning the potential of personal practices like mindfulness to transform, or even challenge, the existing social and economic structures of our social world. In it, I explored deep questions I have about why and how Nonviolent Communication (NVC), despite its radical roots, has, for many, become associated with far narrower goals than Marshall Rosenberg envisioned when he developed and began sharing the practice.

New Approach to Stop Bullying
Every year, one in five students will be bullied. Of those students, one in three will be bullied in the classroom. Worse still, there’s no break from the torture: the rise of cyberbullying has created a constant threat, which magnifies the already traumatic effects that bullying has on its victims. It used to be that at the end of the school day, students could get some distance from their teachers and classmates. Kids could go home and watch a favorite television show, play with neighborhood friends, or spend time with family. Now, kids are susceptible on any platform, at any time of day.
