Episode 274: Being Mindful Of STUFF — Stress, Time, Uncertainty, Fear & Fatigue

August 11, 2022 By Happier in Hollywood Hollywood Leave a Comment

Liz and Sarah share some key takeaways from the excellent Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging training  they recently attended, including how their personal identifiers impact their leadership styles — in both positive and negative ways. They also discuss the concept of STUFF, which stands for Stress, Time, Uncertainty, Fear, & Fatigue. When we experience STUFF it can be harder to effectively process opinions different from our own — but there ARE ways to make sure everyone still gets heard. In The Mailroom, Liz and Sarah answer a question about the TV trend of rebooting shows that have been off the air for less than a decade. Finally, this week’s Hollywood Hack applies to everyone everywhere: Remember to be a tourist in your own hometown.
