Hi John,

On May 25th Emily Gregory and Justin Hale will lead a free webinar on how to have a crucial conversation over Zoom. Or FaceTime. Or Slack. Register to attend "Distance is Destroying Dialogue" and learn skills for communicating virtually—just click the button below. If you can't attend live, we'll send you a recording.

In this week's Q&A, Justin Hale answers a reader question about managing an employee resistant to change and we feature videos entitled How to Ask for a Raise and How to Do Less Work, in that order. Unintentionally. Our producers are not without humor it seems.

One Productive Minute

How to Do Less Work

Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect.
