Special Considerations and Challenges
• You are in a visible support role.
• You are an empath.
• Emotional Labor.
•Bias against women who are emotional, AND against those who are not!
• Traditional view of “professionalism” by leaders
Discuss in pairs or trios:
Which do you face? What can you do?

Care with BoundariesShowing empathy:
• “I am sorry this happened.”
• “I can see you are really hurting.”
• “Let’s check in tomorrow. I want you to know you are not alone.”
• Send a card or email to express care but on your terms/timeframe.
Time box:
• “I can talk for 15 minutes.”
• “I have to get back to work; let’s check in tomorrow at lunch.”
• “Let’s meet later this morning and go for a walk on a break.”

Care with Boundaries
Point to Support:
• “I want you to get the support needed. Will you call EAP and let me know?”
Show Your Work Load and Availability
• Use visual signals to indicate availability for conversation – signs, headphones.
• Use a Personal Kanban to make your work and availability visible.
• Share your visual indicators at staff meeting; ask boss to express support for honoring those.
