Thinking About Integrity

Time to read: 25 seconds.

In the past few months and especially the past few weeks, I've consumed more news than I have at any other time in my life. As you all are consuming a lot of media these days, too, I'm committed to keeping my newsletter even shorter and more relevant than ever so you can focus on all the other important voices out there.

As I listen to the news, one question I've thought a lot about is integrity - both personal and corporate. How are individuals, organizations, and our government responding to everything that's happening? What do their responses say about them? And what do they teach us about the foundations of integrity and how to maintain and sustain your own personal integrity? How does courage fit in? And vulnerability? And risk?

Companies have responded to George Floyd's murder and the subsequent call for justice and change. Some have knocked it out the park (Ben and Jerry's) and some have been, well, strange (give this lively, funny and poignant radio broadcast - It's Been a Minute - a listen).

Then ask yourself, what does integrity look like for you in all this?

That's what I've got on this June day.

With rebel love,

Christina
