Don't get me wrong. We need to heavily promote the many "non-traditional" GC roles and responsibilities (hate that term but y'all know what I'm talking about when I say it), but that's a matter of widening the scope rather than changing the lens.

Similar thoughts here. In a field that is centered on compassion, non-directiveness, and belonging, it's hard to think of a better descriptor. If the term "counselor" is a deterrent to prospective GCs then the onus is on the individual imo, regardless of how they identify.

Outside of spirituality, the point still stands. Fellow GCs - I encourage you to remember you are loved and you still have value. even if you didn't finish those chart notes today. /end.

I think it's time for a come-to-Jesus moment for a lot of us. Speaking for myself, I only feel like a "real" person when I remember my humanity is rooted inherently. As a Christ-follower, it's a term we often use called "imago dei" or "having the image or likeness of God." 4/x.

When we get our meaning and worth from our careers, we allow external stressors (or even good things!) dictate our mood. GCs often joke about being "people-pleasers", and this can absolutely stem from where we find our value. 3/x.

Being in a field that not only accepts but encourages the "helper" and "achiever" personalities, it's easy to root our identities in our work life. Who doesn't like someone that enjoys helping others and "fixing" things? This is where it gets dangerous. 2/x.

The #NSGC2022 stress/burnout session was great, but the discussion reinforced what many already suspect in this field: We easily find our meaning/value in our work. There's a deeper problem at work here. 1/x.
